Yeah, the way Strava calculates things in segments causes the speed to be way off sometimes. If the GPS drops out for some reason & then reconnects it tries to extrapolate the speed to connect the distances…most often coming up with a crazy reading.
I have seen something similar happen on my Gopro footage edited in Race Render 3. If the GPS telemetetry data is lost during acceleration then it assumes the same acceleration until it picks up new telemetry. I once hit 708 kph on the 4WD revel kit.
They are pivot cups but I would not recommend swapping them out. The Revel Kit Pivot Cups look much thicker and stronger than any repacement cups that I have seen. I’ve never tried to replace them but at a glance, they may be larger than standard.
But upon further inspection, they do appear as you say
to be quite beefy & I’m not sure what style they are so I’m not super interested in swapping them at this time.
Excellent video unboxing & dope Tarab btw! A killer deck!
Yeah when you’re on smooth pavement you almost can’t hear it. Especially if you’ve got everything tightened down real good. Crazy compared to my BLDC main board lmao
Hey pkasanda, I did the shake/slap test and no change in the light. I contacted Revel, sent photos. Its been a week and no reply, which is pretty disappointing.
Hey guys, In case anyone else is interested - I’m riding mostly with the iWonder cloudwheel 120’s but looking to get the new version Discovery 105’s. I read that the Revel abec adapter wouldn’t fit and so I emailed iWonder to confirm. Here is their reply;
"For the direct drive version, which can suit with our original Cloudwheel since origine one which with normal ABEC core, but now Cloudwheel Discovery which is thicker spokes, so we are now pushing the wheel pulley to many of customers who owned brand boards.
For your situation, we suggest that if you order Cloudwheel Discovery, and found the direct dirve which can not be mounted, you can cut some of wheel adaptor on direct drive board of Revel, to make sure the wheel can fit.
It is a suggestion from our engineering department. If you need any photo captions, please let us know."
I’m currently having an issue with one of my batteries. But, as soon as I can get a hold of Flo or someone at Revel and get that squared away, I’m also going to see if they will sell me another abec adapter and then grind/sand them down to fit the 105’s. Thoughts? If you care
Would recommend not attempting to manually cut the Revel wheel adapters. You take off too much & you’ll destroy them. Additionally, you’ll ruin them for normal ABEC core wheels.
If you still want 105’s check out the ones this shop sells:
The Boosted 105’s are amazing as well but quite rare & hard to find.
Great guys. They’re here on the forums in Vendor Corner.
Both sets of the 105s they sell have gotten lukewarm feedback in terms of running true and fit/finish. Given what I’m experiencing with the Discovery 120s, I would still go with the new Discovery 105s.
