imo freeroll is for thane. Shouldnât matter on AT since you will never kickpush it any real distance

If we could program our throttle neutral to still give enough amps to roll endlessly at the previous speed Iâd agree. But I donât think we can, so I think it matters a lot to how a board feels to ride.

Thats true, but I think the harsh deceleration that comes with bad freeroll can be countered with a higher negative ramping time.
Iâm pretty sure we can

Problem with this is that if you give too much current with the throttle, unless you deliberately brake, your board is going to go faster and faster until the ramping time allows it to decrease. I found it quite dangerous in practice. But I digress; this is a thread about gear drives

No youâre describing Positive Ramping Time. Negative Ramping Time doesnât work that way.
And have never played with negative ramping. That is actually something I massively miss on thane. The free roll and equally so the jolt you get when you let of the throttle. Especially with a narrow stance.
What ballpark numbers do you like to run on negative ramping time with a AT setup.
FTFY LoL

I run 1.0sec Negative Ramping Time on my eMTB, and it fully eliminates the âjoltâ that happens when I release the throttle and it springs back to neutral.

Nah I disagree. I like how well my thane build free rolls. I like that I can kickpush it easily, saved my from getting stranded many times

Iâve kickpushed broken boards home too, but I certainly wouldnât say thatâs a primary or even secondary or tertiary use for them 
Iâve also gotten the Lyft of shame back home a couple times. One time I had an entire cart worth of groceries I was carrying when I had a critical breakdown. Lyft driver was really confused.

Okay so how do yâall get your wheels off. I was gonna try out some clouds but it seems my 97s are tighter than a virgin holding in a fart. Is it common practice to use a puller for this job or am I missing something?

You can wedge a flathead screwdriver or a small prybar between the wheel and the drive if youâre slow and careful

I like to put my feet on the wheel/gear drive and pull on the hanger.
Getting the wheel press fit out can be hard, with kegel you can just hammer the pins out of the core.

Could I fit Dual M1 drives with 6354s on the 184mm hangers?
