Yes! I wonāt call them out here though 
Use spacers (unnamed person)!
Almost nobody uses spaces on popsicle skateboards anymore.
I went into 3 different skate shops when I got a new skateboard and everyone looked at me like an alien when I asked for spacers.

yeah, zealous bearings are awesome. I have 2400km on mine without cleaning (sorry) and they still run super great.

Anyone know if these wheels are too bouncy for the spud?
Makes also good flat spots!

Thats why you keep the wheels spinning

That moment when you are still used to huge grip and they are suddenly broken in and the ass end of your board tries to overtake the front. Happened to me on a toeside lean and I soiled myself.

These things take forever to fully break in but when they do they are a very predictable wheel.
They come back easy from a slide which is commendable considering the size and grip. No hint of a high side. Nothing rag dolls you quite like a high side.
I lost the back end accidentally heelside on a known corner that suddenly had gravel all over it and the board came back sweet once the grip was restored. Didnāt stop dead and throw me into orbit but just slid back smoothly and came back in line. Still loving these big old beauties.

The kegel core is better though. Deeper 'thane (smaller core), stronger and round holes are much easier to DIY than whatever shape this is
Because drill bits and bolts are both round
And deeper 'thane is better
And less void means stronger core

You can have thinner thane with better rebound if fourmla is right making a lighter wheel with better performance.
Yeah the issue is that i already have Abec pulleys.
Not sure in general about the 110mm. I know that you praise them. Iām coming from 3 years of Hub motor riding and the last few months 200mm pneumatics.
Plan would be to use a single 6374 sk3 190kv (because thats what i have laying around) with a 10s4p 30q pack + a 12s2p lipo 12Ah as backup. I plan on running it on foc (Esk8 is illegal here) I also have to find a FOC compatible vesc.
Saving a few grams of wheel weight for a performance sacrifice may be worth it on downhill boards ---- but in the world of electric where people are putting 60 cells on a board that weighs 25lbs (11.3kg) itās not worth it.
If you did find a better formula, youād still want it as deep as possible to be even better. No sense in trimming a couple grams off the wheel on an 11kg board and sacrificing some performance.

New tires/thane have mould release agent on, you have to carefully āscrubā it off with careful riding for the first few miles, most people are familiar with this from cars/bikes.

About a year and a half later, 6 months after the production wheels rolled out of the factory, these wheels are still kicking my ass.
I havenāt had any chunking at all on the production formula wheels. Not a single one, out of 24 wheels (6 sets).

Working on testing a 74A version see if they provide more grip and are a bit softer.

is it fair to assume you average about (10) miles a day?
