@Philipp Murx No swirl issues yet, but thats just for protos. 

We've got some cool stuff we want to hook you up with. Here's what we have available and what you gotta do to get it:   HERE'S WHAT WE'RE GIVING AWAY - Obishike Jersey  - Lots of Rip...

@Philipp Murx heck yeah lol Are you even really sending it if you're not eating shit? 🤔    (hopefully they're all ok)

@Kurt Derow indeed they were. Good eye

@Matt Needs Wheels It does sound a lot like we are talking about the same factory. I heard very similar stories about being a bit creative with orders. Aparently if you show up there and negotiate ...

@Matt Needs Wheels skatech stuff plsss

Updated: hyperlinking is fine for now, if every gear post is a battle between ppl making money off gear trying to get you to buy from them this may change.

@Lucas Stokoe I beleive it

@Philipp Murx The Taiwan lab in question is likley one and the same with the "China factory" I had referenced. They have F'ed me a few times just on protos. I have asked for wheel/thane combos that...

This reminds me a lot of common 2008 freeride setups except it apears to have been made when the world had moved on. Honestly nothing but respect for riding a shitty rig in the uk where everyone el...

@Kurt Derow "Bust in yo face"

AYO 😨

Roast me.   19’ wb redrill. cal 3s, freerides, rocket meteor dt.

i'm pretty sure the last 8 people i've seen violently eat shit were riding that exact setup.

Very interesting topic to exchange the background Infos and maybe end up with a much more pomplete understanding as brands don't exactly brag about this stuff.Most of my knowledge on this is ~10 ye...

Wheels straight up don't cost that much if you don't create a new wheel mold, it is not unlikely those cheapo wheels were made in the same factory as 75$ freeride wheels for the same production cos...

@Owen Campbell My oposition to that is lot of wheels have "race characteristics" but are a lot more forgiving and fun to ride due to their thane not being as grippy. This shows the importance of th...

@Sam Diefenbacher Based on some recent experiences, I have some suspicion that wheel shape can have just as much an effect on grip as the goo that goes into a urethane. I've seen a bunch of people ...

Great summary. I gave these a try on a friend's setup at Woodbooger and was astonished by how much less grip they had than Mags despite the rumor that they share the same formula. It has led me to ...
