Just recharging now … will go check. Don’t care about looks, but how this setup will get me (illegally) to work. Road is mostly not good, a lot of bumps. Non-asphalte trails and bridges to cross.

Where’d you end up buying the cloudwheels from?

Bought them from here > https://www.icloudwheel.com/collections/diy-accessories/products/wheel-pulley-kits-for-cloudwheel-discovery-version
Delivery was suprisingly quick. Less than a week, I think.

congratulations, your board now looks like dick and balls

you could throw a single @Boardnamics 220/270 hanger on the front hahah.
That narrower front hanger… totally a high speed downhill setup.

Just went for a night ride … it may look absolutely ridiculous, but I am fucking impressed! For my mixed terrain riding this is a huge improvement!
Overall, the board is heavier now, I would guess something like 8 kg up from 6 kg, but it is totally worth it in my case.
I get a little wheel bite on tight turns in the front and I will have to add additional risers, but overall this is it!! Ah yes, and brakes are less strong downhill, but still okay (my weight is around 100 kg), Uphill performance top!
For mixed terrain, much much better than the original setup that the Backfire Mini comes with.

Why? Because the M4 screws that fix the adapter to the hub motors will brake?

That’s the concern - and it makes sense to be concerned about haha

I will ride it for a couple of months and report back … I hope I can

No offense, but how heavy are you? If it works for you, it would be interesting to see if the bolts deform or break over time

~ 100 kg or ~ 220 US pounds
Often also with backpack, so around ~ 115 kg or 253 US pounds
I also thought of putting some titanium bolts in there, perhaps; however, I cannot find those in M4 and that long length?

test it out stock so we can find out if the product as they sell it is a fail.
Already kinda looks like a fail 
Could somebody tell me if the speed that I now see with the 105 mm wheels on the Backfire Mini’s remote is more or less or the same than it used to be with the original 85 mm urethane wheels?
I have now ridden the thing a couple kilometers over mixed terrain (grass, cobblestone, dirt trails with 3-8 cm rocks/stones, sand, and, of course, asphalte) where I also rode my Trampa spur gear mountain board in the pre-Covid-19 world previously. The Backfire Mini doesn’t have enough power to push over most mixed terrain crazyness that I have been throwing at it unless you are going at 20 km/h or more which is too fast for me with this setup and in these conditions (cannot handle it and judged too dangerous). Also I cannot go uphill on grass or dirt roads - not enough power. Of course, battery gets drained very quickly in these conditions.
Besides that and on flat surfaces the thing handles cobblestone and also grass to a certain extend rather well and, so far, my overall experience is rather good. However, it’s too short to tell yet … Nevertheless, for my riding style the advantages (mixed terrain riding now possible) currently very much outway the disadvantages (range reduction from ~ 10-15 km to 5-10 km). I noticed though that you really have to be careful with the brakes: they are weaker with the larger wheels, especially downhill.

My friend please be very careful. You are essentially riding a board where the rear wheels have no axle.
I know that there is the back up og wheel but if one of those adapters lets go downhill then you are coming off period.
I would be looking at a way to trim the hanger material to get the motors closer to the kingpin as in the direct drive system so that you have some axle through the wheel.
I seriously think that this is a bad accident waiting to happen so as I said please be careful.
@Hide
if I may make a suggestion.
If you were to try to polish this turd then maybe include an axle extender in the kit that can travel through the adapter and therefore through the wheel. Rather than having the axle as part of the adapter and relying solely on the plate bolts.

Hey @Hide! I have a Backfire G2T and even though the CloudWheel website says I need the 5-bolt pulley, I’m 95% sure my board would need the 6-bolt (PJ00603) - See photo 
Can upload more photos but am 100% down to test and put these adapters through the ringer!
