Who wants bigger urethane wheels?

until someone start dropping curbs with them :joy:

iā€™d say using a 28mm bearing seat would work great, since
6001 bearing is 12ID28OD (8mmW)
and
638 bearing is 8ID28OD (9mmW)

but 10mm axle u donā€™t have much choice except have the bearing seat at 26 or 30mm (exclude 22mm because its shit)

yes, 6001 is 28x12x8

So with a 28mm OD, you can find bearings that will fit 12, 10 and 8mm axles. Thatā€™s pretty good!

For 8mm, another option would be to use a spacer and put in a typical 22mm bearing.

I think @RipTideSports was working on something similar in this thread, but an affordable variant for the rest of us mere mortals was a way off iirc:

130 x 8 cp and fit 10mm and are more squishy/comfy than normal thanes. I will buy.

I donā€™t think there is 10ID28OD bearing

Infinityhub tried that method, some people are having tolerances issue iirc

There is, 16100 is 28OD10ID

All Tanuki Wheels use a 28OD8W spacing :slight_smile:

just do standard 8mm axle bearings. We are so niche compared to the rest of the skate industry that if you donā€™t do this and also sell these wheels to non-esk8 builders you may not have enough viability.

Been using InfinitiHubs since they came out and no tolerance issues here, at least nowhere near as bad as evolve hubs.

Definitely in! 28mm bearing seat. Pulleys for them would be no problem.

We thinking MBS or Trampa hole pattern? I would assume we are sticking with 5 bolts

Wait that might not leave much thickness in the urethane, maybe Berg or Hoyt pattern? Only 3 bolts kinda worries me though since itā€™s a plastic core

Make use with retaining ring to get even pressure

Not sure if bergs pattern is still popular, but we can adopt the hoyt pattern since itā€™s a newer design?

Hoyt 5" is another pentagon pattern, I think that might be the move

For ungodly levels of torque? You know you can fit 72T pullies on 125mm wheels right :grin:

My vote would be a press fit type like kegal or abec, ish. With a bearing in the pulley. Could also use BN m1 streets.

72T pulleys are 113.4mm outside diameter. Belt would be 3mm from the ground, lol
