The rubber part of the washer was disintegrating so i ripped them off. Apparently you need the height those give you for the bolts

Youā€™re missing the weather sealing gasket as well by the looks

I think the gasket is just squished down to the point that it does nothing

That could be. You donā€™t want to crank enclosure bolts, snug and blue loctite will hold.

400gsm biaxial fibreglass
200gsm UD CF
Soric XF3
And Swancor 901 epoxy vinyl ester resin

Itā€™s 8 layers of biax fg and 4 layers of cf, with three core layers in between. Arranged like a club sandwich :joy: some of the cf layers are rotated 90degrees

those inserts lacroix uses use half their height for the hex socket. so they have much less threaded length on them. This means the tolerance for a bolt that both catches the thread and doesnā€™t push out the other side to split the deck is very very small. and those rubber washers they ship with break down and basically reduce spacing allowing the bolt to push out the back.

it doesnā€™t help that the bolts are very hard to get to the threads given the enclosures desire to pull everything away.

ā€¦

Anyhow. mine is splitting too.

Are these kegel cored hubs? And what hubs are they? Beautiful! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Thanks man! Theyā€™re the meepo cyclone racing wheels. They come with pulleys that are already mounted to the hubs.

Nice! They look like they have a kegel hole pattern as well. Do you know if they can use that option? Can we see the backside of them? Thanks man! :pray:

Unfortunately they donā€™t. But unless you want a different size pulley it shouldnā€™t be a problem.

Going to refrain from commenting on the MassiveStator motors. :joy:

Two quick things I learned about my Cyclone rims from experience and others:

Even though it looks worse, reorient your tube stems to exit out the front of the rim. Turns air maintainence from an ordeal into a quick process.

Use a good amount of Blue level Loctite to secure your pulley bolts. I didnā€™t and they backed out on a ride.

Other than that, great rims/tires for me. Purple looks sweet!

Works out really good tho, yet to shred one on 3Ds hubs. Man anyone else have PTSD from Berg hubs shredding valve stems? :grimacing::grimacing::grimacing:
