This would be my suggestion, size and core are right, good for dodgy UK paving.

are uk roads that bad?

i found my 97mm reflys are usuable but when you hit gravelly bits you gotta go down to 15mph

are there any wheels that will allow a nicer and faster ride?

the other option is to get custom hubs with an abec core and then stick 6x2 tires on them…
im losing all torque though

I have a thane board still but is just used on selected paths and resurfaced roads.
Anyway, off-road is where it’s at. :grin:

I think some cycle networks are liveable with thane but a lot of paths around me are painful. And fuck the little nobbly nipples and ridges at crossings.
I had a tiny manhole flip up under my thane board the other day too.
That was “interesting”

honestly the more i ride this thane board the more i love it
insane range (4wd at 12wh/km) and ridiculous riding speeds + super low weight
averaging like 27mph on some routes

around me it isnt that bad
im in a suburban area of london where the roads are better

Yeah. We use tractors as our daily drivers.

not that bad here
most roads are little bumpy but they are fine with thane
a couple roads are super bad but i stay away from those
tons of potholes though

is there any chance that people would have the @PXSS adapters somewhere? @Scepterr maybe?

There’s one of these little fuckers on my way to work. It’s put me on the floor more than a few times now.

sent you a pm

you got the ones for kegel core? (or upgraded abec ones)

If it turns out you need/prefer to get new adaptors made, have a word with @Bavioze. He’s offering his services in a badly named thread here that you might’ve missed (as I did).

These wheels are shit and I paid 120 for them… jezz
Too hard, chunks, and my 70mm landyachtz wheels grip better than them.
Thinking torque boards 100mm for an upgrade…

make an abec core tb 100mm and im buying it all day of the week

You still have the mold release layer on the wheels, bring it out to a steep (ish) hill and just try to break the wheels loose for an hour or two, the contact patch will become less smooth and much more grippy.

The what!.. your joking, not a 107 superfly or electric , but a MASTER FLY :smiley: any online documentation on this thing?
