Maybe my googles not googling. MBS seems to have pulleys and some belts… but where the hell are the mounts?

@ATC definitely made some before, idk if they’re still in stock.

Also @EboardSolutions has some I think

Boardnamics should have mounts soon, or maybe he does have them in stock now. Unsure. @Boardnamics

omg! I love those tires. I kind of want them on my own board but i don’t think they’ll fit berg rims.

I’ve been running @idea’s 20mm wide pulleys and have only snapped one belt in over 2 years. Full disclosure, I was driving through snow like an idiot so probably my fault.

I think it’s boardnamics mounts. @DerelictRobot who’s mounts did you sell me with those trucks?

What do you run? I’ve just gone back to the berg tires from the clevers. I like them both for different reasons. I think I’m going to keep a set of each with the pulleys ready to go depending on mood.

right now clevers because i prefer the stiff sidewalls that transmit the street to my feet. The bergs were deceptively soft and shielded me from much needed information, much like the 8" MBS tires i put on that flux build i just handed over to the customer.

To me clevers are 6" urethane in a way. They just don’t slip. Also, I’ve tucked a berg before and got thrown. admittedly, it was my own fault for carving that hard that fast, i was being stupid. Love my stellas.

I’ve never bought a set personally, but I’ve seen and tried Cisco’s and they’re great. Really fucking clean aluminum job too.

Exact experience. I almost high sided myself from the sidewall rolling with the bergs. I was just playing while following my kid. Clevers take away some of the excitement, they’ll go over anything. Wish there wasn’t such a big battery tax to pay.
