Sent you a PM with my email address.
Sorry I misunderstood the post above, I though that the clones did fit for you, but that it just wasn’t a perfect fit. I’m disappointed I don’t get to ride them now, but as I said in the other thread I’m satisfied enough with them sending free pulleys when they do exist. I think the store for the discovery ones should definitely be updated with a message to that effect though.

You’re talking about post #44 above?
Sorry, I’m just getting the hang of these forums on a phone. The numbers don’t line up super well but I was referring to the post where you had the various pulleys and said some “fit with slop” and such. I think I just misunderstood, and I’m fine riding not-great airless AT wheels for a month while I wait for the pulleys, it was all just a brief big letdown as I’m stuck at home and can only ride occasionally and in the middle of the night.
The old core Cloudwheels were amazing for the week I rode them before inspecting the cracks.

No worries, man. Sorry if any of that was unclear.
Same here. I was really impressed with mine before the unfortunate incident with @rafaelinmissouri and finding the crack in my set. Now if only the rain would stop, I could get out on these new ones and report back.

So I took the board on its mayden voyage today with the Discovery wheels.
Did 17 miles.
This morning I was at 220 lbs. Add 10 more pounds for gear.
I really freaking love the way these wheels feel.
Even out of the box.
I took the images below of the two front wheels using the zoom on my Samsung S20.
What do you guys think?

Goddamn. I can’t wait to switch out my note 10 for the 20… that zoom is nutty.

Thanks for posting these. I presume those “lines” are artifacts from manufacturing. It’s great to have detailed photos we can reference while the miles stack up

Well… that is my concern. I am not sure if they are artifacts or actual cracks…

are you able to tell from the core image you posted here? iWonder Discovery 120D Cloudwheel discussion
I cannot tell from the image, maybe the size was shrunk when uploading and your original copy have more detail?
Put a flashlight through the core and it should be obvious… artifacts would only show on the surface, cracks will reflect light from the inside for as deep as the crack goes

This has to be a record for most pictures in a reply.
You could make some scratches to compare how they look.

The dedication to testing and thorough checking is real.

Most look like scratches or shallow cuts…

Yeah even with that magnitude it’s hard to tell, I think @rafaelinmissouri you s the right guy to be the test mule for sure

Damn, that’s some detail.
Now all you have to do is find a spot somewhere that looks like Jesus and start charging people to come look at/worship your wheels.
