All metal kegel cores suffer from this. BN-m1 drives kegel pins, at least mine, are small enough that it isn’t so bad. But the bearing problem is serious. I have to hammer mine in and out on my metal core wheels. Integrated spacers are an extra pain, so I don’t use them, but I have successfully gotten them out before. They weren’t intact afterwards, but I got them out.
Kegel core wheels that haven’t been mentioned:
Infinity hubs: decent, but don’t fit all kegel setups.
Flash 125 airless: unobtanium but most excellent wheels I’ve ever ridden
Hyperdrive 100mm: slippery when wet, otherwise great
Boosted 105//verreal mad wheels: they’re the same thing in different colors. Heard nothing but love but haven’t ridden em.
Hollow wheels: will show up eventually. High hopes.
Don’t know if they still exist but moon had some kegel hubs at one point.
There’s another kegel cored pneumatic hub but I can’t remember it. I think @PedroMcJimenez knows.
I’m running Onsra wheels with Boardnamics pullies:
They didn’t really fit together.
They went in half way and then bumped against something inside the holes.
Mold seam maybe?
I wound up hammering them on until some thread was showing and then cranking down the bolt to seat them the rest of the way. I worried I was destroying the bearings but so far so good.
I don’t look forward to separating them when these Onsras wear out tho.
Yeah. Metal cores are a pain. Plus side of airless rubber is they’re usually beefy enough to tap on and off with a hammer. Bearings, I just run em the they get crunchy. They often break on removal. But you get a free spacer for each one if you save the inner race.
they used to, but i just checked, they are selling a different set now since when they launched, guess they just wanna be different
all those metal core airless wheels are not true kegel anyway, they are off by 0.X mm which makes the precision pulley won’t fit unless u bore out the spokes very slightly.
Can confirm. Sometimes they’re a bit small, sometimes a bit big. Depends what you’re putting em on. Sometimes they play nice with a particular drivetrain. Like, not that model of drivetrain, just that exact set.
nylon / plastic pulley would fit on them easier than metal precision pulley, but imagine the team who put together the wheels and pulley needs to figure out which pulley fit on which wheels, it be a nightmare
firstly, im not ur bud. second, stfu would u? yes, I was so mighty damn wrong on a small detail on a random ass company that launch 2(?) something years old with my 1.5 years old memory. if you r so dead set on having the correct information, how about u gain more knowledge and get ur fact straight before u start commenting on this forum? I’m tired of ur shit, i demand u to block me so u don’t see my wrongest answer ever again.
