Just hold a water bottle in left hand by your waist, ride in a straight line, then raise your left arm (90 degrees to the left) with the water bottle. Youāll turn without leaning.

Wouldnāt a ski rope tied to the front truck do better? just pull your weight into it as you lean. If you pull hard enough it may give you more speed too - as it could help to pass a bowel movement more forcefully as you accelerate - ejecting mass and giving you thrust.

Duuuude.
That is a really beautiful gasketing job. Did you just use the butyl tape under foam or whatās happening there.
Butyl is the truth.

Thanks man! There are a few hidden blemishes but im pretty stoked with the finished result. Itās butyl, solid neoprene, topped off with 1/16ā hard neoprene foam to be the compliant interface layer.
I tried to use silicon to glue the hard neoprene to the enclosure but it failedā¦ as i was routing it to shape 
. Next time it will come out better but this turned out nice enough to keep. The butyl holds so well and clamped overnight it conforms perfectly. Just razored off the squeezins

Dude.
I have never put Butyl between the enclosure and the foam. I go enclosure, foam, butyl.
This is so much betterā¦
Dangit.

Or are they Radium SR125s?
Yeah.
I have done that.
Itās great. Until you need to open the enclosure.
The enclosure Butyl Foam wonāt be as good of a sealā¦ But being reusable would be awesome.
But since we are talking about it.
I praise you every time I use Butyl because you are the one that told me about it.
Since then how many rolls of butyl would you reckon I have bought???

I think Iāve bought at least 7 myself so I reckon youāre probably up over 40 by now. Am I close? 
I found getting the enclosure back off requires two things: the enclosure needs to be strong, and you need to apply constant pressure for a long time. It will come off really slow, but it is coming off

Following up on this years later, it was a HUGE pain in the ass to remove the paint from the bearing housings. Remembering to have those taped off would have saved me a shameful amount of time
