Abec 11 Updates

will the "freeride" strikers still have side-set cores?

On a second read I see my message came off pretty serious. That's my crap attempt at sarcasm for ya. But thanks for the update. Glad to know things are rolling along nicely. Now I just gotta wipe this damn smile off my face.

I'm feeling kind of fat due to the winter season. Flywheels going un-used....

Anyone ever made an ab roller out of a flywheel? All's ya need is a 5/16s really long carriage bolt to put through the bearings. Then you just gotta put hex nuts on either side to keep it from slipping.

Am I missing anything?

Picked up some amber freerides as soon as i heard they were going to be discontinued.

Meh, I prefer the new color. Only thing I'll miss is the yellow 'thane lines.

The 66mm and 77mm "Freeride" is Strikers with a new name, so no change besides the name. The 72mm will be the same shape as always.

wait are they still going to have classic formula freerides though??

Abec11 Freerides are classic formula Freerides.

classic formula is the standard abec 11 formula.

edit: beat me to it shift

how cool would it be to have a larger wheel around 80mm with a vented core and big zig shape. big Big Zigs. i would crap my pants.

They exist!... They're made by Seismic though. They're called Speedvents.

and they are also amazing. i want some 73mm speedvents. all i have are 85mm, and you cant run those on a topmount....you just cant...

You're pushing it with 73mm, too, though.

they arent 80mm. they are 77mm. and i hate the way they slide. black ops thane is choppy. grippy as hell, but choppy.

I would say reflex thane is choppy aswell. Very grippy with choppy slides. Especially if they were 80mm. But then again i have never ridden any black ops wheels so I am not sure how they slide.

[rodgon]

reflex thane is choppy at first, then it wears into a very slippy wheel ( grippy at first with a very quick release) its not choppy.

[mcgoon]

In both cases (Seismic/Abec) you just need to be moving a lot faster to get reflex or black ops sliding smoothly.

I want a 90mm Flywheel to mate with a Classic thane Amber BigZig, creating flywheel-core-big-zig-shaped wheels in the diameters from 70-85mm. Dayum. Maybe the Daddy Flywheel could sleep around and get some reflex-thaned-vented-zig babies in 77a-86a reflex thane too! I would buy all of those said babies.

And then somehwere in there a centrax and refly wheel mate...and then i buy the whole family...yep, i got it all figured out.

frankie, I propose a battle royal.
