Fivestar, rockstar 2, and rockstar pro all have the same bolt spacing, just different widths bearing to bearing.

Not sure on the twistar but they’re shit.

Ok so either the fivestar or rockstar 2 would be an option to swap against my rockstar pro. I just want the wobble to stop

Yes. Fivestar can take a larger range of tire diameters too. 6.5"-10" last I checked.

Currently developing software for a remote. Hence this question:

What is a conservative and safe max erpm to load as a default? E.g. what erpm can the worst VESC handle?

I assume if it’s already black it can’t get to a lighter color?

Evolve had purple 7” knobbies on sale for $12. I’m trying to dye them black @BluPenguin

Ah interesting. I wonder if the vulcanized rubber can’t be dyed like other rubbers can.

I’ve got some hot pink condoms that beg to differ.

Just kidding, condoms are for losers.

I was implying dye can’t be added after the vulcanizing process… So that makes it extra concerning. :joy:

Boil your condoms to sanitize and re-use them. Add some dye for cool effects.

For real though, vulcanized rubbers can’t be dyed, pending some industrial process none of us can afford.

You can paint it though which could look cool. The purple would start showing on the treads with wear but the rest of the tire would remain painted.

Just to be clear, it’s not “just painting”, you need to buy pool shock and dilute it in hexane or a similar solvent. This chlorinates your tires and makes them accept most topical treatments.
