Because some times you have to jump through hoops to get what you want. They have been honest and upfront about there not in stock and wonât be with out a active demand for them. They havenât made stock levels up for cash flow. This topics is not about business practises thereâs plenty of relevant topics for that to be talked about els were
Iâm not jumping through hoops or subscribing to enertion-economics.
Theyâve stocked these before, they clearly sell, there is high demand for used ones on the market, and they donât need a group buy.
I will wait for China to clone them or maybe start the process myself if they donât want to sell these products, which they have clearly demonstrated that they DO NOT WANT TO SELL these products.
Crowdfunding is not designed for situations like this, itâs just adding extra risks to the consumer for no benefit. Itâd be a lot different if there was a benefit. Like creation of a new product by a non-established business. This is not the case here.
This is just the vendor wanting you to bankroll their business.
And itâd be foolish to be gullible enough to do that.
Then maybe selling âline ticketsâ for $5 each that gets you a guaranteed set before they sell-out, unless you donât buy it within 10 days of availability â maybe thatâs a better option. (obviously, youâd have to pay the balance and the line tickets could not be transferable)
Vendor gets to gauge interest - and risk to consumer is present but much lower than paying the entire overhead to run vendorâs business for them, enertion-style.
2016 was full of 9mm belts. This is the age of 12mm belts because 15mm belts have too much fucking rolling resistance and donât last significantly longer than 12s yet cost way more.
so yeah lets talk about idlers and loose belts because idlers wear out both sides of your belts at once. Real genius there.
12mm belts on machined aluminum 15mm wheel pulleys are the dopest shit. been running that on boas for a while now.
I was talking about this with Dave when I tried one of his boards and I said his 12 must break a lot faster than my 15 and he said heâs only ever broken one. So I donât see really any benefit to the 15 except some people say there is a bit more torque but it seems not noticeable, unless anyone can say they feel a difference
