Torqueboards TB110 Really Big wheels [Serious]

Believe me Bro, 120mm to 150mm segment is empty. A void market space ready for the first daring manufacturer to disrupt our Esk8 world. 135mm is my dreamland. No pioneer so far.

You must have some nasty roads thatā€™s your riding for the need of a 135mm thane wheel :joy:

You are bad @torqueboards :laughing:. They donā€™t look that bad when new. Prblm is how they turn later with that dullish tone. Planing on hitting the market with them? One suggestionā€¦get rid of the white cores :nauseated_face:. Blackā€™s much nastier.

Thatā€™s only size testingā€¦ :face_vomiting: Not a fan of the color. lol

Totally agree with ya :ok_hand:

I think Iā€™d get tired of carrying 135mm x 4 of thane :joy:

Donā€™t lie to yourself Bro. 6", 7" or 8" Pneumies with their set of hubs, bolts, nuts and tubes are not that much different. Perhaps even heavier. So whatā€™s the excuse here?

Never rode tires before so I have no reference for weight difference :smile: but jumping for 90mm thane to 110 was like going from carrying a baby compared to carrying a 6 year old

Interesting theory, but unfortunately not correct. :rofl:

Iā€™m not going to share Dexā€™s real identity and Iā€™ve shipped things to you, so you know Iā€™m not in Texas :smirk:

That kegel core looks microscopic in that wheel

6" inch tires are 150mm in diameter. We can consider that the lowest standard size where pneumies start. So thatā€™s the limit to which urethanes can go. So far, with few exceptions (Trampa Gummies at 125mm and iWonder iClouds at 120mm) there are no urethane wheels in a great segment of the theorethical spectrum, 30mm to be precise, from 120mm to 150mm.

But pure thane of 135mm compared to an air filled tire with an aluminum hub, thatā€™s the same weight ?

I think comparatively they are the same weight. Pneumies are complex amalgamation of parts compare to simple urethane wheels.

Iā€™m not sure if theyā€™d be the same weight, but Iā€™m optimizing for reliability and range and if a few extra grams on a 15kg board gets me more of that, then :+1:
