If I could travel back in time I would tell myself this
-Do it for the experiment that it is, not because you think you will invent a new revolutionary eskate wheel.
-range will be 20-30% less
-free rolling will be worse than you think
-it’s a softer ride than you expect.
-Tires on rear wheels will wear out a lot faster than you expect compared to the front wheels
-you think you have cut the pieces in perfect length but they always end up 0,5cm too long when gluing them into place
-If the tire piece is too long, you might get an air bubble somewhere between tire and thane. Rolling on that bubble could force the tire and thane to come apart (I think)
-clean the wheels before glueing.
-avoid overhang since it will interfere with the belt
-those extra 4mm of ground clearance you get from the tires strips will actually help a lot for the belt lifetime if using 83mm wheels.
-easy to rip off I you change your mind
Not sure what to say more. It was a surprisingly somewhat successful experiment. I will see how it works out with the boa100 for my Lamboardhini
