@rosco Yes, just now. Not good im afraid.

The vendor seems to not want to sell them
… Ive been told that ‘the mold belongs to a client’ and as such i cant buy any… Even in large quantities… :thinking:

Wait Hoyt and Metro are merging?

Not necessarily merging. They’ll be separate lines of boards that may share items between each other

I believe ILAN is leaving metroboard. (which sucks. He seems cool. he was super communicative to me during this original bulk purchase. )

so, his partner and hoyt are making some kinda deal.

I’d assume so. I’ll keep pestering them and see if I can get anything out of them :cry:

On a separate not, what tubes do people use for metro 155 tyres or the evolve 155s. Can you get away with using a 7" inner tube in a 6" tyre? Reason I ask is because that’s the most easily available inner tube for me, without paying £10 a tube from evolve :eyes:

I have squeezed 7" tube in a 155. it’s was a bit awkward getting it in. but it worked and lasted the life of the tire.

I also have about 10x 155mm tubes where the valve stem is pointed the wrong way, ( parallel with the tube ) some people made them work by bending the valve stem themselves… others by just letting it twist. (I got a leak at the valve stem sometimes ) which I can send someone for cost of shipping in the US. ( guessing maybe $4.00 for 2 ? )

They said 7$ per unit without any negotiation, not sure how firm they are on price.

Do not fit hubs designed for bergs or 6x2 clever tires
