New Seismic/3DM Wheels: Hot Spots

**Captain Hampton** · 09-04-2005 02:55 PM

Check it:

"In late 2004, we began developing a new shape to roll through turns faster than the Avalon without compromising grip. Taller and thinner than its famous inspiration, the Hot Spot features a slightly squared lip that bevels inward at a small angle - an evolution on the trimming frequently applied to the Avalon. It's a perfect complement to your race box and an outstanding choice for all-purpose longboarding, cruising and Old School styling."

Looks like a cross between the Cambria and Trimmed Avalon.

In essence Manx are just an alternative to trimming your Avalons. I traded a set of soft stims for a set of 4mm trimmed Avalons..... same contact patch and generally the same profile minus the square lips.

Nope, 74, 77, 80, 83 (!), 86, and 89. Beautiful range.

**Homer80** · 09-05-2005 07:51 AM

Are just 69mm? I was hopeing for something a little taller.

I realy want 3dm to make a DH wheel mabey 83 mm with PLENTY of thane and a narrow (by 3dm standards) profile. But still grippy.

If they made that wheel id buy em instantly. SO MAKE EM.

Me too. That's exactly what I'm wanting. A tall 3dm. I can live with wide. Certainly would be a nice alternative to the Green.
