Surely he put toothpaste on there…

Is @hide still here? Can I exchange my replacement old version for the new ones. I’m not going to use the old black core one. I like to not die

BillGordon · August 18, 2020, 2:37am

@Hide is not really around now.

He @Hide… u know

BillGordon · August 18, 2020, 2:43am

@Hide is at @Hide ? I thought @Hide was @Hide.

frame · August 18, 2020, 2:46am

@Hide was at @Hide, but now I don’t know if @Hide still @Hide, but @Hide was @Hide

so @Hide

BillGordon · August 18, 2020, 2:47am

Thanks for clearing that up.

frame · August 18, 2020, 2:48am

anytime

Mikenopolis · August 18, 2020, 3:58am

Maybe @hide is @hidden now

DavidF · August 18, 2020, 5:14am

@Hide out he’ll ever come back

pkasanda · August 18, 2020, 2:45pm

Well I hope he is OK. They do have Covid in China. Hey @Hide let us know you are OK.

He hasn’t been seen on FB Cloudwheel page since May 27…

Post the word “crack” on that group and you get instantly banned.

pkasanda · August 18, 2020, 3:07pm

Well he seems to be alive. He posted yesterday on his own personal web page. Status is Self-Employed. So I guess he is no longer with I-Wonder.

pkasanda · August 19, 2020, 3:04am

Probably. Just like this guy perhaps. I think he tried using toothpaste instead of spacers.

rafaelinmissouri · August 19, 2020, 3:07am

We need to get toothpaste companies to put a warning on their packaging…
KEEP OFF ESK8 WHEELS

BillGordon · August 19, 2020, 3:08am

Bril. I’m on it.

pkasanda · August 26, 2020, 3:16am

Hey @rafaelinmissouri It turns out you and I we were both wrong about the toothpaste but right about the spacers. The fellow with the broken discovery wheel just posted a retraction because he was riding without spacers.

Movation · August 27, 2020, 9:35am

What a unit!

landonkun · August 27, 2020, 9:53am

I’m 250lbs and mine are holding up!

riding without spacers is not really the issue. The main problem comes from overtightening your wheels without spacers. And riding with the damaged bearings that result from that first step.
On a push board it would have been very noticeable that one wheel wasn’t spinning properly. But I guess when there’s a few kW spinning the wheel, you can’t really notice anything apart from some funky smell, and a shitty range, and then it’s too late…
