I currently have one on print to test out. i dont know if it will be strong enough or if i will have fitment issues but i guess the only way to find out is to try it right?
Will this widen the hub without widening the bearing spacing, or is the offset the same (bearing spacing increases by the same amount as the hub width)?
Yeah that’s the plan. I don’t want to have to make any changes to the rest of the drive train, spacers or axel length. Seems that just moving the outer hub part to the other side of the spokes almost perfectly matches the width of the etoxx hub.
How about inside bearing distance? Is possible to keep them under same usable axle lenghts?
What would be the minimum usable axle required x for this installation? TB axle is 47mm, Evolve SC is 32mm; theres even a hub bearing adapter from Board Bumpers for the Trampa superstar x that short Evolve SC axle. There are a dozen more brands in the middle (??)
Yeah, with a custom piece definitely, but I don’t think it would feel great, the Gummies does not have the smoothest ride, and by doubling it it would be harder. The axle definitely has a greater chance to be bent
Agree on the Gummies. Thin sleeves are awful. Can’t believe someone haven’t come with a wide hub for wide and thin urethane or rubberized covers (??) Either by using or transforming existing hubs (E-Toxx, Trampa, MBS, etc) or coming with a new one. Peeps here love wide wheel with lots of cover. Why manufacturers have not come with a solution x this need todate?
Yeah, they have the use case, but it’s pretty limited, if you like the urethane feel and has some sort of obstacle that only big wheels can handle they are great. For example, in my city almost every intersection has channel cut across the street for the water to flow, it’s impossible to go through them without stopping on smaller wheel, I tried every way imaginable, but the gummies you just go diagonal and no problem. And also wet performance, it’s the only urethane wheel I would ride in the rain feeling safe
