60T-48T kegel Boyz and girlz
Thank you @Savage1 I love the machine raw look
Wasn’t going to say anything… but I guess why not -
When you first posted the pics of the axles, immediately noticed while they look very high quality, 8mm portion is just standard hub/wheel length.
I feel like we’re at a point in ESK8 where there is a good amount of demand for extended axles to accommodate wider hubs/hubs w/an aftermarket spacer for stretched tires that so many people like to run now.
Any thoughts about making some batches w/a extended 8mm portion? It’s always easy enough to slap normal wheels on an extended axle and put a spacer in-between the wheel & axle nut if you want the shorter width for turning/carving benefits, and there really isn’t much axle sticking out if so - but you can never put wider hubs on a standard axle.
& This is a question I should probably know but don’t - if you wanted to run a wider hub on stepped axles like these, are there any issues regarding how forces get distributed and such if you run a 10mm bearing & 8mm bearing in the hub? Definitely somewhat dumb, but I feel like if you have the spacers it would work.
If you’re running wide hubs, then why would you want an 8mm axle to begin with? Wouldn’t 10mm or 12mm give you an easier time finding bearings?
I’m just wondering from the perspective of those who may have a stepped 10mm to 8mm axle with standard 8mm length wanting to experiment w/wide hubs using what they already have. Popping in a differently sized bearing is typically more convenient than getting a new axle if available.
10mm - 12mm axles are definitely ideal for wider hubs though.
@marketthrowaway Nice question/comment.
The axels I made for those hangers are 53mm long, (10mm dia. is 19mm long, & 8mm dia. is 34mm long.) The hanger width is 250mm.
The risk of bent axels is not worth it to me. (I currently have a 240mm hanger with a bent long 8mm axel on my bench) Cough… @cfelzien …Cough…
I feel like we are at a point in Esk8 where aftermarket spacers for stretched tires should NOT be a thing, rather, proper wider hubs are being offered with the “standard” bearing to bearing distances. (24mm ish…?) I’m currently playing with a 50mm wide hub as we speak.
Hubba hubba!
Received these beauties in record time from US->NL and that’s despite all the global shipping issues rn.
Neatly wrapped and packed. Beautifully crafted. Strong, lightweight and curiously sexy. And that’s just @Savage1 himself!
Can’t wait to get these on the Luukie hubs! Great work, @Savage1!
Do you make 48T abec pulleys?
The man asking the important question
Actually, just started some abec yesterday. 40 & 42T. Got some Hoyt 111’s coming this week!
Could do 48t
Have you ever made TKPs Phil? Esk8 needs more TKPs
Not so far. I’ve had a few requests. Somewhat like SR or Tiller, but stronger?
What’s your shop rate?
Surfrodz but stronger and less weird around the bushing seats.
I’ve never ridden tillers so I couldn’t say, but the surfrodz are awesome trucks when they’re not broken.
And a normal kingpin instead of the stupid backwards one
Usually between $4.00 - $100.00 / hr
(#@%$^%$&^#*&$%$@%$~ I NEED THIS @#$@$#%#$^#$%
e: real abec or clone one? im hoping 1 would fit both
Well that range is outrageous how do I get in at that 4 dollar price point.
Real core. What wheels have clone?
