Down bad AF 4 reviews of big daddy Hoyt 5" hubs/tires & testing of 5" tires on other hubs

[AviatorEsk8er]

I nominate @ShutterShock for a review. He’s done plenty other videos and goes well in-depth. Or give somebody new a try.

[jack.luis]

He said no self nominations and so far thats all we’ve gotten smh

I’m buying my own set as soon as they are confirmed to fit on trampa hubs (7in)

[JJHoyt]

@NullBlox

Do both the 5 and 7 tires fit on MBS hubs?

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.

i remember jeff saying the ID of the tire isn’t going to work with MBS/Evolve/Trampa. Unless he changed his mind on the design…

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.

@jack.luis

If the 7’s fit on MBS/trampa hubs I’m definitely buying a set. Hard to find quality stuff under 8in nowadays

Just checked. They no not. OD for trampa-esque rims is slightly over 4", our rims OD is slightly under 5". 7" tire ID is ~4.25’, 5" tire ID is 3".

@NullBlox

I’ll buy them to test, I don’t like getting handed products.
If needed I will buy the rims also but I ride Matrix II so would need a different bearing I believe.

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.

That’s gonna be a pretty thin bearing right, since the standard bearing od is 22, and matrix 2 is 12mm axle

I think someone tried to put urethane on the matrix 2, @Boardnamics wasn’t it one of your customers, do you remember what bearing they used

[Mobutusan]

If I’m not mistaken, I think I saw that the Hoyt 5" hubs have a 22mm bearing seat and the 7" hubs have a 28mm bearing seat.

If it helps the cause, I will put them on and rip them as hard as I possibly can. (facts!)

5" bearings: 22mm x 7mm, 8mm ID.
7" bearings: 26mm x 8mm, 10mm ID.

[Mobutusan]

@JJHoyt

7" bearings: 26mm x 8mm, 10mm ID.

26mm OD? Is that right?

[frame]

6000bearing is 26mm OD 10mm ID 8mm width

[JJHoyt]

@Mobutusan

26mm OD? Is that right?

yes

[NullBlox]

Now I need to buy the larger Hubs! and wait for this to arrive… ehhh…

[DEEIF]

I also nominate Mario, and I’d be happy to help get them on his board.

[Chricious]

So what hubs do they fit? Bergs? Weight wise plastic hubs would be best for sure.

[Skyart]

At the moment I think Hoyt tires only fit Hoyt hubs

[Chricious]

That’s too bad…

[Skyart]

No it’s brilliant actually. If you want the tires, buy the hubs, and if not, make your own. This is great for the community in general, I am sure other vendors will design hubs to fit these tires. We have not had a new tire option in this community for years. I imagine Hoyt has a solid $30-50k invested into making these, if not a lot more(design/testing/mold/moq costs) it is extremely expensively to make a new tire, so freaking cuddos to Jeff!!! Woooooot! Can’t wait to see what they feel like.

I am wondering why the smaller tire is said to be limited to 28mph? @JJHoyt what sort of things happen if you go faster?
