TLDR: pre-production versions of these wheels are exceptionally difficult to use on gear drives, but it is not an issue on the final model that you can buy now. Which I HIGHLY recommend
@Ean.esk8 Are you aware that the threading on your hubs is backwards and makes it basically impossible to use these with gear drives, and also makes it very difficult to change a tire on the fly.
It seems to be an issue with the 6-8in versions because my 9-10in versions come together properly.
Wait I’m confused? How could a thread be backwards unless it’s CCW, which neither direction would fit? A screw should be able to go into a thread from either direction.
With the screws coming from the back i can see why it wouldn’t work, but why wouldn’t it works with the screws coming from the front ?
With longer screws I think it should be possible to fit the drive adapter just like with MBS wheels, or am i missing something ?
Because if you try and bolt the wheel adaptor to the hubs you cannot access the threads on the gear hub (this is because the 6 spoke pattern on the gear hub). On batch 7 drives the wheel adaptor is “press-fit” and won’t need bolts into the wheel gear. Thats the idea anyway, to be tested.
