@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 ...

@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...
Roast me. 19’ wb redrill. cal 3s, freerides, rocket meteor dt.
@Kurt Derow they should have given the different lenth's different names like bustin yoass, yoface, yoknees,...Speaking of wasted potential:"These" wheels was a great name, but only if Aera was "Th...
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 ...
@Gabriel Fockler I know I'm reviving an old thread, but my understanding (from a couple 2nd and 3rd-hand sources) is that they didn't lose the formula, but their raw materials supplier slowly chang...
Are those Rain Skate Tsunamis? That is all.
@Matthew Johnson awesome grip tape job. I just put 50' savants on my shred with dragons and it's the most fun thing.
