Whats happening here @fujio001? Any better oics of it?
Good question. These are the test trucks. The production version of that part will be machinedā¦
These will definitely help fit 3-links to a regular longboard.
Looks pretty nice @fujio001.
That clamp itself on Mcmaster is $20.00. Looks like a welded piece onto the clamp to me.
Machining that from one solid piece sounds like a great idea.
Are they metric?
TKP-like Wheelbase extension.
I like it!
Hopefully someone will do a video comparing them and how they perform
Yes i have valve stem issues. They are ofthen displaced or riped off. Im not that fast there are members here faster. Right now top speed is usually 47 avg is 26. I have a good deal of pinch flats,im running 50 psi. Im a street rider so 150mm is my favorite. Im having some thermal issues with how/where i ride,bigger diameter tires make it all much worse. If i try to go 45 mph up a 33 percent hill when i go from 150 to 175 mm i make it far shorter before a cooling stop.If i have 150mm tires the 800 feet to the top of my hill can be done with out a stop or a short one hear the top. So i have multiple issues.At this point tube cost and annoyance meanes no more BKB tires.
Sorry for my poor post itās 4:15 am Iām walking my dog before work
What is worse is often I have a shit load of cow on when Iām fixing the flats. At some point Iāll have to go urathane only if just to slow down and banish flats
LMAO ftfy
Videos are painfully slow and annoying. I can absorb 10x as much information from writing and hish-res photos.
I just realised another thing ! Main difference between my ride and yours ; you guys are going up + down mountains and they just donāt exist here As I said i almost never experience flats ; it must be the hard braking + accelerating causing the damageā¦
My rides are super tyre-friendly , all flat riding grounds
The tyres youāre riding are not fitted ātightā enough around your rims/wheels iām guessing. Which gives them play; the tyre shifts on the rim which in turn tears off the valves of the inner tubesā¦
Maybe try a bit of glue between tyre and rim (??) It is def the sliding of the tyre on the rim causing this , my guess anyway
Yeah either orā¦ suppose all of those youtubers are just going to give you a loaded opinion anyway.
Iām not sure about glue but I think you are on to something. I have all the flats but the most common are pinch flats from impact at speed and valve stem stuff. Iām pretty spoiled with roads they are smooth. I live 400āabove the town I live in the top of our hill is 600ā above us. I love it , but itās dangerous!
Iām going to try a set of TB tires I have left from the pschotiller build. They donāt do well once flat though. Iām actually riding thane more now as a result
Get a set of the landsurf 165mm tires? Those on some wide rims and you should be set
Im eyeing them, the cost is crazy, SKP sells tires for 11$ each,they are 175 mm though.
I need to sell some toys,DAMIT.

@Skyart get us cheap & good 150mm tires and ill stop bugging you to go on a ride for a whole month
Yeah, the price is high. I did see a couple v1s sell for almost twice that though once they became unobtanium if that speaks to anything. Waiting on v2s to ship. What wheels do you have the bkbās on?
