Are his hubs really 6"?
99% of pneumatic hubs we use are 4"

i mean that it is 4inch (i think) for 6 inch tires
A 4" hub will generally take 6-8" tires with no issue. I have yet to see one that won’t.
There are even some 5.5" wheels that fit 4" hubs but that’s not a lot of room for a tube. Same with 9", some hubs have a larger flared out lip so the tire widens a bit.

I have three questions about wheels:
Are MBS five star compatible with Trampa urban threads?
Are there any 6.5" tires besides Trampa Uban Threads?
What would be the correct bearing for MBS five stars and 10mm axles?

torqueboards has 160mm wheels and evolve has 150mm wheels. urban threads are 165mm. They all work on the same size hub afaik.
But here is the thing. I use my trampa 9.5mm and MBS 9.5mm bearings on my Kaly 10mm axle and they fit just fine. I dunno wtf is going on with these weird bearing sizes.

This may be a silly question but why dont I see people using the MBS Tri-Spoke hubs for esk8 applications? I’ve seen them around on mountain board, kiteboards, etc… but they dont show up on this forum. Why? Are they fragile, unreliable, difficult to balance, or___?

I don’t think the evolve tires fit. At least not based off this discussion
I don’t know for sure just curious to know if you got it to work.
I know the metroboard 155s do work tho. Thought that was the smallest tire you can fit on the 3.75in hubs.

No reason other than not a lot of pulleys made to fit that wheel pattern. I have a set on a manual mtb and love them. They’re light and cheap and haven’t cracked on me in 4 years.

Welp I stand corrected lol. Whoever did did that needs to enlighten the rest of us on how it was done hahaha.
I found it here. It actually looks incredible too.

@olsyke comment in that post was referring to the use of a spacer (the quest for phat wheels is a common affliction here)
he’s happily riding those tires on those hubs without a spacer
chime in bernhard if i read you right or wrong

this was about stretching the tires on superstar hubs, with an adapter from @Pedrodemio, so the superstars were like 1,7mm wider in those images
without the modification, the tires work nicely on them

They don’t, the superstar hubs won’t fit the Evolve tires and the Evolve tires can be installed in superstar hubs, they are different by a small margin.
This is why I’m hesitant to try mbs hubs on urbar thread tires and I’d also like some 6.5" tires like trampas, I wonder if they are trampas exclusives
I printed a pulley for mine but it came out bad so I never put it on, should try making an adapter to VEX pulleys instead.
Oh and wow that $2 tire… much cheap
