Might have to shed a little bit of my anonymous internet respect.
I wonder what the weight of the hubs and pulleys are. POM is roughly half the density of 6061, and I’m pretty sure most plastic hubs are made of a plastic less dense than POM.
I know. I guess it’s just the fact we already have plenty of great options for 7". 5" is completely reasonable because we’ve never had anything that size.
I mean, the 7" price is still definitely reasonable. Don’t get me wrong. Just too expensive for me lol
Yah damn right. I know I will like the larger wheels, but Im sure I can use the smaller ones on the short track and drift them down to the hubs.
Im excited! Sliding is super fun on AT tire and pavment!
The 5" definitely no given they are about 4" in diameter only leaving 1/2" or less for tire. We considered initially (long story) but felt we’d lose a lot of shock absorption and end up with a lot of pinch flats and rim dings. I’ll check on the 7"s this afternoon and advise.
Thanks, Im willing to buy the hubs if needed.
Just need to find a bearing that will allow my Matrix II’s.
I would prefer not to build a new board to ride these, but It can be done.
Also love what you have been doing so no issues supporting the cause, I will find a use for them.
Given the OD/ID measurements noted earlier, do you want us to loan you a set of rims to make evaluation easier? I’d hate for the assessment to go off the rails because we tried to force them onto a random rim.
