Hmm I haven’t checked the balance yet. But I also am using @Swol_Moon DM1s which had a printed wedge in them, so that could be helping. I took it to 40mph no vibrations that I noticed, but might need to pay more attention next time.
You getting vibrations?
I don’t have them on a board yet, but I’ve tried with 2 sets of hubs (exway & hubba hubs) on a spare axle.
All the wheels want to drop down to where the valve stem is, and when free spinning them, I can notice wobble (not too much, but enough that I wont be running them for racing until I get sorted).
I’m wondering if balance just isn’t great unless using specific hubs (i.e. linns default, or mads tubeless).
This seems to happen a lot with wider tires.
Hub is WAY too skinny for these tires. Hubbas “should” be wide enough but even those squeeze them a bit.
Balance on mine is good, no noticeable wobbles, I’ve only been to like 35 tho
Most do that, and just on the bench isn’t the best test of wobble imo
I haven’t had any issues with mine up to 30 mph. On Trampa Megastar deep dish rims.
What hubs do you recommend for max stretch?
The exway ones are the super wide ones that come with 72mm wide tires. They fit, but took some work to get the clip on, since the tires are pretty hard.
If they wobble on the bench, I don’t see how they wouldn’t wobble on the street. You can feel the whole axle move. Some combos I’ve tested don’t do this, and they tend to ride the best. It’s become an obsession at this point 
eh
i cant read lol
there’s no weight being loaded onto the tires, bushibgs, and board. it’s really a matter of just go out and ride to see house it is, not see the imbalance and just assume it’s gonna shake you into the street when ut’s the slughtest bit off
break in the tires, they soften up, i dont get any balance issues up to 40 so far and i didn’t do anything special on install
I can spin it with my hand and it and it shakes the whole axle with visible side to side movement. My balanced tires dont do this, and it doesn’t do it on linns rims either. When it does happen with other tires ive tested, they wobble on the street as well. I’ll throw them on a board and confirm, I’m just not sure why these would act differently than others.
It’s just a skateboard
Wait huh
My bad, 70mm.
I’m confused which hubs you’re talking about - are you sure they’re exway? I thought they only had the Precision hubs
Yup, they have extra wide ones that come with their semi slick tires.
Oh that’s cool
Yikes! $190 for tires that wear out quickly sounds pricey.
Hi Bro . May I ask You on Your experience with both tires? XCELL vs. Linnpower? Adhesion, durability, balancing etc. Will be very helpful for me. Both are my favorite and would like to use it on MBS XL hubs. Thank You a lot!
Adhesion:
Linnpower edge out the XCell for sure let’s see if it was a in a scale of 1-10 I’d say XCell 8/10 and Linnpower 9/10.
Durability:
Hands down XCell. They last quite a while even with abuse. Linnpower slicks in their current form harder to tell wear but they start to lose grip with age and overall softer.
XCell also has very stiff sidewalls helping them last a bit longer. And, you can basically use them as run flats.
Balancing:
I’ve personally never really had an issue balancing either tire. I know some have but a good rim with a tight bead and things always seem fine for me. Up to 45mph too.
Other notes, xcell is the better street tire no contest. It’ll hold up against the street better obviously because of durability. Slicks well, they’re slicks, all around going to be better for smooth asphalt and parking lot racing.
XCell has the better contact patch unless you get real low with the psi on the Linns. Both tires burnout nicely. I think the XCell are a smidge smaller than advertised and therefore have better torque?
My opinions. @poastoast ?
yeah the linns need to be aired down a lot. i don’t remember what i’m at but it’s between 16-18psi that i’ve had the best performance at. to be fair, i haven’t gone lower in psi, so that may be something to try.
i agree, they’re not the best for street riding. any patches of dirt or grass will have your slipping if you’re in a turn
i am noticing myself loose grip more often although i’m not sure whether that’s just me getting better, overheating the tires too much, or me demanding too much from old tires. a wear indicator would be nice.
the main gripe i have with them is that when you cross that threshold of grip, they just let go. (i’m looking forward to trying the brp’s because of this) usually, i can feel when the tires start to let go and keep it just under that limit but once or twice, that loss of grip has been too quick for me to abort and the board rotated 30-45° before it regained traction.
Ash is correct. The Linnpower racing slicks work the best when the pressure is low. I am 175lb and I run the fronts around 16psi and the rears around 18-20psi.
Recently I sent a set a Xcell tires to Linn. One has a noticeable wobble. Not the best quality control.
