Interesting question, looking at the zoomed in pix on the blue 'thane it they appear slightly different color, but that may be more of a trick of the light, so we’ll see
I’m gunna throw my guess into the ring and say that was a deep as Brad wanted to make the mold…and/or the white thingie has something to do with how the 'thane is attached to the wheel hub…
but I suck at guessing

Maybe the colored us a soft duro and the white goes beneath it and is a hard duro? Or vice versa and the colored is something like 70a and the white is 50a for even more comfort

First ride in, quick 5 miler. Tire temp under 100 degree F while the rear @MoeStooge racewheels were 130 F. I need to find their adhesion limit to see if I am on the right track. Surface included, chunder, smooth pavement, gravel, and dirt.

Interesting Thane bushing addition on the 3-links…
I can see that being a unique way to add bushing stiffness
k00k approves of your science!!
BTW Brad, can you post here, or PM the duros of the bushings I received from @MoeStooge when I got the 3-links from him… you know, the yellow and the blue ones that compress around the center heim… thanks

I’m looking at two different compounds on one wheel. Outside compound would be softer for cornering, inside profile would be harder for longevity.

Although I don’t see why not, would make sense to run dual compound.

Yellow is APS 90a and the blue is APS 85a

The white is a UHMW spacer to allow the tire halves to flex like a radial tire

Kinda looks like a 2-Part sandwich but it could be solid and that’s the mold part line
oh I see the spherical bearing could be inserted from below.

I was talking about the bushing on the 3-Link trucks but wheel dissection is good too

I was referring to the link connection, axle to board bushing…
