Who wants bigger urethane wheels?

As long as they are comfy. Like, really comfy. :smiley:

Yes please

Absolutely essential ā€¦ where we can slam 500A motor current and not twist the core out of the wheel ā€¦ like with a raceway that grips the polyurethane with more than just adhesive alone. Like the ABEC11 cores have, except monster. Also round holes to interface pulleys (like kegel), not weird flattened U shapes.

Yes, agree 100%

Donā€™t neglect contact patch width, this is as important, or more important, than diameter.

Can we get 80mm wide 125mm thanes with removable cusion inserts?

If this existed I wouldnā€™t run pneumies on street ever again.

I feel like that size and contact patch would be it for me too, I donā€™t think cheese grater street would be much of an issue anymore.

Bro I wish, Iā€™m trying to get rid of all the Trampa junk I have :joy:

Iā€™m thinking for road riding, 8mm is enough for most. What do you guys think? Better to optimize the wheel to work with 10mm axles or stick with 8mm axles?

I think this is doable. That could have some serious grip!

Iā€™d argue 10mm, most trucks wide enough to accept large wheels without bite would be 10mm, rather than 8mm. Plus you can always shim down, but you canā€™t size up.

If you could do 12mm that would be even better, thereā€™s a pretty sizeable population of channel truck runners who want to run thane (can you imagine Lonestar battery but with thane efficiency?), and the current solution of 12x22mm bearings really doesnā€™t work out. And again you can always shim a thinner axle or smaller bearing.

The TB130 actually make cheese grater streets melt. I feel like it should be at least 125mm or more.

But wide af is super important

The catch is 10mm bearings for 22mm seats will wear far faster than their 8mm counterparts, and the 28mm seat excludes the Kegel hole pattern

Wtf does this exist? I thought this was a joke.

37

Is there a 28x12x8mm bearing?

38

125mm or more could be possible. Would have to take great efforts to avoid making them too heavy.

I think it never got past the prototype phase.

Dang so the kegel hole pattern doesnā€™t work with 28 mm bearings?
