TB110 72A: the grip intensifies [serious]

These are the prototypes for the TB110 72A that I’ve been testing.

The things I’ve noticed: they feel as soft as the 74A, not really any noticeably softer in my opinion. They seem to do better on wet surfaces than 74A. They do better on small pebbles and loose debris than 74A. Longevity makes me nervous; I am worried about lifespan. But since I’ve had these in my possession, I have put as many miles (kilometers) on them as possible, and been as hard on them as possible. Trying everything to make them fail on 3 different skates, one longboard and two shortboards. For anyone wondering, here they are right now:

So I finally found the limit to the 72A 'thane after repeated abuse. It seems if you put a few thousand miles (a few 1.6 megameters) on these and hit a few broken beer bottles along the way, then torture them by powering down a 1km (0.6 miles) gravel railroad access path, then that’s the limit they can endure

That being said, I don’t know anyone (else) who rides polyurethane longboard wheels on gravel roads… I neither recommend it nor enjoy it. I was in a tough situation where I didn’t have enough battery to go a different way. So this is unlikely to ever affect you. But we have found the limit.

These are the best street wheels I’ve ever used though for electric longboarding.
