First Build. This is obviously going to be a progressive build while I wait for the unity to arrive.
The Shryke is named after my favourite Innova Golf Disc, the Innova Shyrke. 13 Speed, 6 gluide, -2 turn, 2 fade… if that means anything to anyone.
I probably should have named this build Apprentice Evo, after getting so much inspiration and information from @Deckoz Brad and his Master Evo thread. So you’ve probably seen it all before.
In saying that, with the Australian Dollar only getting .70 USD, and the shipping costs getting here (normally $50+ USD), I really wanted to do a lot of research to try and get it right the first time.
My mate has an Evo Falcon which I was comfortably cruising at 48kph (30mph), so I wanted something that went a little bit faster. My original plan was 31mph. I found the falcon just a little bit short for my stance, so I decided to go for the Evo.

I’ve also bought some 40” Globe Grip Tape that is ridiculously coarse… going to try laser cut some designs into it.
My original plans in April…
Not too much changed, bigger wheels, more range, and a higher top speed.
Good bloke awards:
@Jlabs - Jared… good banter… answered a bunch of questions… saved me a heaps of cash… hopefully got some beers out of it. The modular pulley set is amazing. Love how it’s push in and there isn’t bolts going through the wheels. Awesome product.
@deckoz - Brad… always helpful in answering small stupid questions about his Evo build specifically - Appreciate it mate.
@eboosted - Alan… Can’t think of anyone more patient. Amazing talented craftsman. Cheers for the quick turnaround! The enclosure looks better in person then in photos… if that’s possible.
@akhlut Matt… Gave me free X braces…. seriously, send me your bank details.
In the interim… I put some spare Kegels on and have been using my legs and hitting some hills. Absurd right?
Cheers all. Seb
