He’ll find a way to strip the magnets. Like every screw on his board.
By itself th 5x1 inline SK8 pnumatic profile looks terrible for Esk8. Stretched out on a wider wheel it lays out at 124mm with a larger footprint.
Those look sweet!
Off road not happening. On road track racing mmm don’t think so. Uphill racing could be. Speed record board plausible. At 80 psi I wonder where the grip and Wt hr per mile is in these. They should be an easy balance for 75mph with no noticeable distortion. By widening the sidewall angle a bit more the tire should take lateral loading and hold shape nicely in a hard turn. Will be putting on a yet wider wheel and give a good flogging to. A 125 mm pnumatic with roll resistance close to large thane with more grip is a target not yet hit. There is as always a trade off between grip and roll resistance.
Hmm… So on road street racing is a no go with 5’s correct?
I know nothing about this 5". Needs put through its paces. Hard to say what if any of it is usable.
Alright thanks @MoeStooge! Keep me posted on what you end up doing or if you find someone who can make race wheels again
Last I remember those 5x1 look like they are the same as Skikes.
They don’t last long I think.
Welp, I’m going with Sixshooter @370HSSV had some for sale at a price I couldn’t resist
Also, the build these are going on isn’t a moestooge copy, but it’s gonna be fast, powerful, and dope that’s for sure!
Did you ever get around to testing this?
Went with the grippy 155x50 pnumatic low profile (turned out to be a really great tire) and put the 5x1 on the backburner. Currently fabricating a wheel bench test dyno for the new Stooge Race Wheel. I plan on putting the 5x1 on it as well.
Will be able to moniter tire temps at given loads and speeds over a coarse of given miles to find failure thresholds.
I’d love to some hard testing on different tyre profiles, specifically when it comes to rolling resistance and the wh/mi. Haggy vs Clever vs whoever to see who can get as close to than as possible. Pretty sure Haggy at 85psi easily wins but would love some data
At the same pressure, I was getting about 20% higher consumption on clevers compared to haggy.
Where is the link for these Ali tires
Is there a specific pulleys for these?
@dickyho sells a pulley for them. Another option is vex robotics pulleys with a 3d printed adapter. I personally use the vex pulleys.
