Are those pulleys different than the standard rockstar 2 pulleys?
I thought we were talking about these plastic ones without bearing

Yep, they have much longer offset posts, which moves the pulley line away from the wheel a lot.
Not sure if LaCroix used those on the Prototipo, but all the Nazare/Lonestar that I know of use these machined pulleys.
Distance from the bearing face to the pulley flang should tell it all, its 10mm on our wheels, if you need less you could always just use some spacers considering the axels are long enough. The bearing to bearing width of the wheel is 32mm on ours.

28.6mm from the outside of the wheel pulley to the wheel bearing, and the wheel pulley is 18mm wide. So roughly 10mm from wheel bearing to inner pulley flange!
The bearing width of Rockstar II’s is 38mm from outside of one to outside of the other.
Here’s where 32mm lands on a Hypertruck axle.
But that just means it would need a 6mm spacer on the road side of the axle to push the wheel up to the step on the Hypertruck hanger.
Feel free to PM me if yall want any more info/testing regarding hypertrucks! I think there is a huge market for these wheels if you can guarantee a painless drop in replacement for LaCroix owners

Alright guys, we are progressing. Final cad is almost done and we are going to get some samples.
Due to my screw up in the first poll, I would like to poll for pulley demand.
Want Pulleys? You may select both 55 and 72 if you want.
- One Set 55t
- One Set 72t
- 2+ Sets 55t
- 2+ Sets 72t
- JUST THE WHEELZ

I wonder how long until the kegel pins on all the @Boardnamics stuff have these flat spots on them.

That would be sweet.
Come on Kevin…DO IT

Sure but BN kegal gear is pretty much all aimed at street use. So you would need a 28x8mm bearing to use on standard skate axles.
BTW when I saw those flat spots I thought of the Avio MK2 gear drive’s urethane adapter. The kegal pins have those flat spots

Ya that is why we did not look into it a ton. If someone wants to use BN GDs, they can use the berg adapters. And I think very few people will actually use the 44s with these wheels. Maybe speed demons.

Getting samples for testing soon. Please vote on the pulley poll above so we know how many to get.
Hub fits well! (Removed core and sinplified spokes for quick printing)
Just got sample pricing and it’s outrageous haha, but obv cant sell y’all untested stuff. So sample coming soon. Will update along the way of course. I plan to open up preorders soon.
Thanks everyone.

Any updates?

Kind of. So samples are ordered, but we are also machining two sets here for some dimension verification and for testing. The person who was going to do the machining for us had something come up, so we decided we would just go ahead and do it, but then one of the shop workers tested positive for covid. Everything is good now (I think) and we should start machining Monday.
I will be officially opening the preorders very soon with a proper bit of info.

Whoops. Was I not supposed to go ahead and preorder through the website?
I will be using them on a 4wd Boardnamics GD board on boardnamics hangers. Should I order the berg adapters from Kevin?

Nawww dude ur good! Lucky first!
Yes berg adapters would be good. Though his new AT drives might be better. Once we get all of this ready to go, I will look into adapters specifically for this wheel and the at drives

I’ll order his berg adapters and use my bergs in the meantime while development finishes on these. The 2.8 ratio is closer to what I’m looking for at 14S anyway. I’ll be watching to see how the AT unfolds, though.
