    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?

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.
