wow they sound really good actually - they are definitely not as quiet as some other helicals, but they still sound great - its basically like the straight cuts except without all the aspects that make spur gears sound kinda gravelly.
These are no helicals my friend, like the unspoken words in a gay bar, they’re straight.
Although I’m gonna pick up a pair of helicals for my new build!
lol
guess they are just nice sounding straights then
I agree!
My buddy told me they sound like a jet engine when you fly by.
That video was taken in a parking garage also, which definitely adds to the sound.
Those straight cut gears sound heavenly
Soooo how’s the new stuff coming in…
I am hauling ass to LA from SD in a van sometime this week.
Settle down now don’t be taking my build out from under me especially because I kind of just fell into it.
So excited to get some new goodies, you’re the man.
It sucks a lot.
You crazy bastard. You ran them with 80mm wheels? How many miles were you able to go?
Not a lot, I could say this, being single fwd board, i had some clearance issues every 30 seconds or so
Did you do the Lou deck with the front wheels drive? Did you have 80s or 85mm
Anyone have an opinion on whether I should build this switchblade with m1 helicals, or BNs idler system?
I was leaning towards the belts because I can mount them reversed and have a bit more clearance for going down curbs or going to a pump track. I’d love to hear what you guys prefer though.
I kinda want to mount some rollers on my XL mounts because they be knocking on hella stuff. Tiny little skate wheels would be good.
I’ll scrape down curbs, my driveway, blah blah. Maybe we’re too low? I just need that urethane range though…
what u need is some unobtainium
Any updates on the new Shipment with everything restocked and new? How long till you’ll be Able to have pending orders completed? Can’t wait to get my gears and ride.
Ship is being unloaded. 99% sure next week I can ship out everything.
I have prepared everything so when I get the stuff, I can immediately get to work fulfilling.
