Its possible!
Anyone remember that labeda group buy? Think there was like 80 people who would have bought those wheels at group buy price of $40
They pour the tire for the hub
Grey.
But I think 91 would be max I’d want with the hubs Talk later. 91? But very long smoothens
Like I say PM me. Collect your thoughts and send it over and we can have a chat.
I am currently in Asia this week so times are funny but live in the UK - which could be great for distribution, one person in the US and one person in the EU (just!)
Imo I’ve ridden 90mm wheels over some bad terrain and that’s the minimum size for me I prefer bigger but I can ride 90s all day.
Yeah that one has seemed to have died I would love to get it to go through
Why not do a group buy of a 100mm or 107mm either the flywheel or kegel core and change the urethane formula and duro. I would suggest picking @Alphamail brain because out of all the members here he knows the most about different duro of thane.
I’ll go under 100mm for a extra wide wheel. But id like 95-97mm.
I’ll find the details. The cost. For me though I’d want the smaller wheel n maybe we can compromise at 92mm diameter! Honestly the long wheel is a great smoother of the ride. My motivation is to get a regular wheel to pair w the motors I sell and not be stuck relying on expensive abec. A larger wheel is more work for the hub motor. Can do a lower kv winding but still more ideal short n long for efficiency
Maybe @Alphamail could even do the first specific wheel for esk8. Like he did the tunnel riser. He gathered opinions, made a prototype and then simply made the riser. And we didn’t have to wait for 1 year.
with money in hand it would be about 6-8 weeks.
Aend does the best Pu and I can’t go backwards! I think it’s one of the few things that is actually the best in the world made in USA still. There’s not much info needed from experts really though. Choose a shape, color, and duro and we’re off.
But look forward to what he says and what he thinks of aend. @Alphamail
Guys open a new thread, and let’s make this happen.
Good morning all, we started out as a wheel company and quickly realized we could vastly increase our chances of success by making bushings. This is our first wheel test 8 years ago (two part aluminum hub with a urethane “tire”) when Max Meyers was still going to UCSB so before he was in the skate industry with Arbor, Caliber and Prism). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7ZwRn0EN_w
We have strategically stayed away for several reasons. What I can do is talk to Chris to see what can be done, hopefully the ship has not already sailed.
Can someone summarize what is wanted?
Right now everyone wants wheels but no one is really agreeing on size , duro, etc.
part of why we did not go into the wheel business
I have been talking to Hummie via PM and he has motivations for a specific wheel size.
What I need to determine is what the community want as really, this is what’s going to drive sales
Poll here
You should branch out into the regular longboarders community to get a good set of responses instead of just the community here. Sample size here will not reflect the general population of longboarders from a statistical view.
It’s a start mate
