Didn’t watch the video, but I don’t trust that guy’s tank top. Or his hat. :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

Lmao I know it was sad. If I had money to experiment I’d have too many wheels lol

I have the artic blue 110’s now and I love those

I’ll expand my inventory more in the future :joy::joy:

I’ve only ridden 3 wheels so far but are ranked best to worst as:

venom mach 1’s (@moon :+1: :black_heart:)
TB110’s
orange cags

venom’s feel best to me but chunked very soon, TB 110’s seem un-chunkable

Are they really 83A? Or something changed?

#53

Duro doesn’t always mean everything, and no point having a nice wheel if the thane chunks, which apparently these tend not to.

… No buy button?,…could be because they are not doing pre orders and will actually have stock in Feb like the post states, twice :rofl: :thinking: reading is hard :pensive:

They probably tweaked it a little, and @longhairedboy said they feel even softer to ride, so must have taken feedback to improve rather than pump out the same thane as the older ones.

Dont believe it - sounds like Labeda formula turned into China rocks, hence they had to talk up the “feel”

I count at least 6 photos of the new wheels on their Insta, and a video by Long Haired Boy

Duro went up? from 83a to 83a, oh my what an increase :thinking:
how dare they change the thane name from Hemotox to … Hemotox :thinking:

I was referring to the video linked. I didn’t, and still don’t care enough to check.

Kinda sounds like those people who hate something because others like it, aka Game of thrones

I’ve got a pair of Boa 100mms, but only based off the positive reviews I’ve read. Also I took the time to make a low quality meme… Not much time at all.

I hate boa just like I do Psychotiller, Hyperion Systems and the other vendors who are simply too incompetent to understand they owe us products for the money we pay them.
