Considering all the interested in ABEC11 wheels, this thread has now been turned in to a possible group buy.
As can be seen further down in this thread, @ChrisChaput from ABEC11 has let us know that the MOQ (minimum order quantity) for abec11 wheels are 75 sets (75x4= 300 wheels). He also told us that this MOQ is for a given size, with a given hardness formula. So sizes cannot be combined to reach 75 set. For example:
- 75 sets of 107 mm wheels 74 A hardness - YES!
- 75 sets of 97 mm wheels 74 A hardness - YES!
- 50 sets of 107 mm wheels plus 15 sets of 97 mm = 75 sets - NO!
@thisguyhere has created a form for everyone to fill out in order to gauge the viability of this group buy and see if the MOQ can be obtained. Firstly we will determine if we can reach 75 sets of a given size and then discuss urethane hardness. More so, since the ABEC11 site is temporarily down, I don’t know all the hardness combinations for each wheel size and prefer not to guess.
Please fill out the form bellow with your user name, size and quantities of wheels that you desire.

Laddies and gentlemen, lets make this happen!
[spoiler]I believe many people underestimate the power of our esk8 community and perhaps do not grasp the dimension and potential market that exist within this community.
From the small time i have been here, i have read over and over that ABEC 11 wheels are the most sought after wheels due to their quality. I have also discovered that they are almost impossible to buy anywhere.
I’ve asked Mr. @ChrisChaput if he would be willing to do a group buy directly to the community but did not get a response. Perhaps if we could show him our size he would reconsider this request and that way everyone would be able to get a few sets of wheels.

I have no relation with the poeple of ABEC 11 neither do i know how to get in touch with them (especially now with their website being down). I’m just a new ek8 builder that likes to use good components parts in everything i build.
If you have any suggestions on how to improve this poll please let me know.
Thanks a lot for participating.[/spoiler]
