This particular build is supposed to top out close to 60, but I am for sure not comfortable taking this over 50. On my ride I hit 42ish mph and the board felt super planted, super stable, at no point did I feel like I was going to lose control. I don’t trust belts tho, or these flexible TB v6 mounts, so likely won’t be pushing it over 45 until I get some gear drives.
How do they compare to TB110s
Keep in mind it’s been a long time since I’ve ridden those…but to me they felt almost exactly the same. The 111s have a wider contact patch, so I noticed my efficiency was not as good as I remember it being on 110s but overall ride feel is very similar.
From my 2 rides I have 15 and 20wh per mile. This is really good compared to most of my pneumatic builds.
Anyhow, I like them. @JJHoyt not sure if they are being made for you, or at your initiative but thank you! I’m glad we have this as a choice for big thane.
FYI, we went with opaque at the suggestion of Aend. Not as sexy as clear/translucent but when it comes to pure performance, opaque is where its at. A more pure formula for more pure performance. On our 83s, we offer both: a white optimal performance opaque (reduced pigments and fillers to affect performance) and a water clear for bling and enabling folks to dye to the color of their preference (the white can be dyed as well).
if you do another batch, do them in kegel. I’m slowly getting rid of all my abec stuff so I can use only kegel as a standard across all my wheels and boards. I’d totally get a set in kegel
