[US] WTB TB130s

Only the later 110s, all the earlier batches I didn’t see any of that.

Yeah I think I’ve read somewhere that the black 110s had no issues but they are no longer available :frowning: I’d buy a set of them, but definitely not the arctic blue again.

My arctic blue 74As are still going strong, long time now… 72As, while holding op for now, when I lift the lip I notice the signs of delamination :frowning:

As far as I’m aware, it’s only the last batch of the blue ones. The earlier ones are fine.

It almost seems like they forgot to wash/prepare a box of cores over at the factory.

don’t worry, I am sure Tb has all the resources in the world to keep replacing any wheels that spin out :laughing:

DUN dun dun

I don’t know if that’s what happened, but the results sure don’t disagree with that theory.

do you think there is a technical reason to not have any mechanical core locking in their wheel making process? Funny that so many non-powered wheels have tons of core-thane interlocking

The only reason I can think of to not have any is if it was not needed, but turns out it is.

I don’t know, but the only part of the ABEC cores I like is the race around the core that locks to the 'thane. If someone made a kegel style core but with that feature, it’d be awesome. Especially if it had two of them.

I think that the core has to have some form of mechanical locking to make it work at a 130mm size. In addition, larger OD bearing would be nice like 27mm.

Looking forward to receiving the wheels when they finally pass all the rigid / engineering tests @TheGoodMomentum has undergoing. looking forward to an update soon
