Just finished, using RIT dye.

is that a Blue SOA wheel or the NEW Orange models we have at moment, it looks sik in black, also with white bearing cup would suit it very well

might go get sum dye to try sum, anyway tryed do a multi colour one???

 

[Humma]

^How would that work

 

[SOA]

there would be many ways to multi colour one, to start u dont have to dye the hole wheel at once, do sections at a time, the colours would possibly blend in

im doing sum research now bout ways used make hippy shirts did once back at school it possible would work, it ws just a suggestion i will try it later, but yeah as seems the dye soaks into the PU as you all ride them & the colour is just not on top it has been absorbed by the PU material,

then indeed u could soak a section at a time, & it hopefully would mix, i will try one later when i do a few wheels ill try one or 2 with a few colours from the others i dye complete one colour that way u can try not wasting a pack of dye just try multi colour one & it stuffs up

 

[Humma]

That would be sick.

Rainbow Metalcores

yeah same as what eagle-sports are doing at moment

we also got this idea from riders from skater hq suggest to make hippy wheels lol, eagle ones are just yeah lightly mutli colour but still look sick

i post pic later to show u how they turn out

 

[Mattt.C]

yeah its the blue soa wheel, and yeah you could multy colour it just make sure when u cover the wheel its sealed completely

 

[Humma]

^Matt you rode it yet?

If so hows it going

 

[Mattt.C]

fine, but it feels a little softer probably untill it drys out. at the moment it feels like i could rip the urathane off but it might be just me.

 

[JarradSmith]

rip it off??? shit!

 

[Humma]

Jarrad, what's a rip off?
