The choice of wheel bearings. I have a flux out there with finality drive, so i’ve had the pleasure of assembling them and the issue is 100% the bearings. they’re probably great for cars, trucks, and trailers, but they have shit free roll on a board. and no amount of “breaking them in” is going to help.
edit: and yes, also the helical gears don’t help. straight cuts are king for free roll.

I just spent an hour looking for a board in my house to do this with. I have no fucking idea where they are.

It’s not bashing- IMO freeroll has a massive impact on how a board performs/responds. I absolutely see it as a bad thing- what’s the expected advantage to using these expensive radial cone bearings? Lower maintenance/consumables cost in exchange for reduced wh/km & less freeroll?
The reason people like thane is because of the freeroll/reduced roll friction. Pneumatics reduce it to an extent. Your bearings shouldn’t introduce this much friction unless something is wrong.
Bingo.

The drivetrain drag is definitely apperant while riding. I basically use it as brakes. Complete opposite of dd’s.
