Good eye, my tire profile is also reversed on one side ahaha.

But only because I wanted the red trampa text on the tire to face outwards at the time, created a nice colour accent :rofl:

I seem to remember reading somewhere that if youā€™re riding predominantly off-road, best practice is to reverse your tyre tread because the shape of the sipes (I think theyā€™re called) will then grab for more traction rather than wasting their effort attempting to drain the contact patch.

Makes sense, I guess one side has more traction then. imma change them all to the same direction when I get new tires ahaha.

Iā€™ve heard this as well but always prefer the rain channel to be forward. If I had a 100% offroad board, maybe Iā€™d swap them but ainā€™t nobody got time for 4 tire changes.

I just bought 4 hubs so I can swap 8 and 9" tires faster. Laziness ftw.

Thatā€™s the one thing i hate about the amass plugs. The easy solution is to put the tiniest bit of hotglue on before you mate them together. Holds really well, but you do need to apply a little heat to get them undone.

Or you can get fancy and make locking connector ā€˜thingsā€™.

I made these ones for mt60s and they work awesomely. The two halves are literally bolted together.

I did a little write up here The Rocket - AKA The Baby Kaly - Street Carvers - FreeSK8

Nice work! I just ordered these:

If they hold up well, they gonna become my go to plug. If not, Iā€™m gonna do something similar to your and @mackann 's design

i feel like @Taraskasyanyuk is like that super fat guy in a chinese restaurant that canā€™t stop eating. Everyone is afraid of him, but no one kicks him out because he always brings more and more money.

I went to a Chinese buffet once and there was a tiny little 90lb girl reading Harry Potter by herself with a plate MOUNDED full of shrimp and only shrimp.

She refilled the plate 2 more times. With more shrimp mound.

So thatā€™s the weirdest chinese buffet trip Iā€™ve had anyway. Whoā€™s next?
