agreedā¦Iām one of them. My brain farts when it comes to Fahrenheit and celsius. Iām cool with the rest of the metric system.

I think they are terrible.
Fucking really weird size, donāt plan on double stack 21700 unless youāre willing to add a 10mm gasket, the wire channels donāt provide enough room to safely route balance and series wires. Theyāre made of like 1mm kydex, and feel extremely flimsy.

I agree, but a 1cm gasket seems really excessive
Iāve made a 25mm gasket 
that was excessive. These enclosures are just dumb.

Hit a car that decided to turn into a parking lot by crossing my bike lane full speed infront of an 18wheeler. I had a choice between hitting the car at 50kmh or try to swerve away. I managed both. The tubes took the entirety of the impact.
I cut the edge off and itās like it never happened

I rather have to change belts than risk having to buy a gear

I mean u could go steel gear since Boardnamics made a adapters for his gears to be compatible with hypertrucks as well as 3 link and you wont have either issue and a more direct 1:1 acceleration and braking from the pinions directly touching but ik u like ur belts.

and another small tid bit, even if u was to have plastic gears. the longevity difference between them vs belts is still drastic, u wouldnt have to replace the gear no where near as often as u would have to with belts regardless of oh belt quality since its still in the open and can be popped or torn at anytime over a sealed plastic gear which at worse will loose teeth or crack after maybe 2k miles on the saddle.
Until you snap some teeth off the plastic gear. And then itās WAAAY worse than putting a new $3 belt on.

yea but honestly plastic gears dont cost much and the overtime replacement cost of belts vs plastic gears ud probably still spend more on belts then on maybe 1 to 2 gears every year. hell even if i was to fuck up my steel gears somehow replacement cost isnt insane, 30 bucks for a new set of teeth and im set XD
Bullshit LOL
But also what if your gear drive isnāt made anymore or you canāt find replacement gears? HTD 5M timing belts are easy to find globally and super cheap instead of having maybe one bespoke manufacturer that made small batches.

they u can check all the prices of plastic gears from vendors who sell rn XD. also good point on if ur gear isnt made anymore but thats mainly down to u taking the initiative to get some extras just incase.
Itās super unlikely that an off-the-shelf plastic gear is going to fit your esk8 drive, especially if itās not straight-cut.
but i hear ya on the gears are temporary, belts are eternal XD

oh no no no i mean buyin replacements from the vendor who made it before they stop
Also, manufacturers selling replacement gears are essentially doing the community a favour, because I doubt there is much profit in stocking those (though I could be wrong)
But without those, the gear drives, especially with plastic gears, would age badly. Kind of like picking up a 1972 Lamborghini Miura SVJ that only needs a transmission.
