It would not, this tire is designed to work with this specific rim system, so basically only specific tires for this rim

Ooh i was right. Less friction and heat generated without a tube too i guess. I thought meepo was going backwards recently quality wise.

Once i know the charge port issues are sorted and the gear drives hold up this has to be my next purchase

Will those tyres fit a standard 6" tube hub?

almost everything about this board sucks but I want those wheels and tires. I must try them. bead locker rims and shit? wow. barely out of bed this morning, this shit’s fucking my mind up.

Why is that?

not a fan of DKP or TKPs, not a fan of Samsung cells, not a fan of bamboo OR carbon… the gear drive is plastic and aluminum… I’m probably the wrong person to review a complete. Ive spent too much time figuring out what I want in a board already.

Uh yeah, mr. damon isn’t your capybara board your ideal?

I don’t think you can see eye to eye with this meepo setup :rofl:

As far as value for money goes, i think the hurricane looks like a great board. Apart from the non balancing bms shit… that’s just lame.

That combined with 40t is oooooof. 40t may fix the welding issues they had with molicel though, saw a few with very weak welds that just fell off.

If it has no balancing mechanism I wonder if it has an individual cell group check while charging to prevent charging a group that’s fallen below safe levels. You know, the basic BMS shit we’ve all grown to expect.

I expect fires. Hopefully not before I get my hands on some of those rims and tires.

Also it’s incredibly difficult typing a post with such seriousness when my cats keep walking across my keyboard triggering functionality that I didn’t even know existed in my laptop. I don’t know what settings screen Garbanzo just brought up but it looked interesting and now I can’t find it again.

Do you by chance have a source on that? I’m not doubting you, it’s just not something I’ve heard of in any pre built and I’d like more information

I believe @TheBoardGarage knows more about it

So what do you truly think so far?

They are headed to @fujio001 will have to see what he thinks, I love this concept, but I don’t know about the execution. Seems to me there is a better way than the 2 o rings used here.

Edit: however the benefits of a tubeless system are extremely apparent. The problem however is cost and compatibility. Not only do we need a rim to be designed and by also the tires have to be made specifically for that rim and making a tire is not cheap lol

Well if it’s like anything else esk8-related, I’m sure a standard will be adopted that is agreed upon by all and widely used across the board and companies won’t constantly make new, slightly different variations that aren’t compatible with others and keeps customers guessing what fits and works with what :melting_face:

Same result (no wobble) can be achieved with a really well made tube+tire+rim

Probably, but there aren’t many out there

This new tubeless is definitely one of my favorites in terms of aesthetics out of all the wheels on the market - so cool!

Another benefit of tubeless is the ease of use for balance beads
