Not sure if they have been said but how much do you plan to be selling those Y shaped bars?

Silly to be comparing these to Micro. You can't compare these wheels to anything at the moment. It's quite obvious they're of a different quality judging from the results I read in this thread. Yeah you can compare the prices but to be comparing the prices of two things of a different quality? That's a little silly lol.

I know what it is but I am not going to say because there is just way too much that goes into making a good wheel than just a number. Ride them first then if you like them you know it is a good number

I agree that hardness of the Urethane does not say everything!!! there are 1000ths of different Urethane mixtures possible !!!

Most important is the rebound of the Urethane, the more rebound the faster the wheel !!
Also the core is a important part of the rebound for a wheel, Alu gives more rebound (stiffer/harder) then Plastics (absorbs rebound= loosing speed)
Hardness (shoreA) of a wheels tell just as much as ABEC (precision) with bearings.........NOTHING...............
You can even messure let say 85 shoreA on a wheel made out of wood......depents on the hardness of the wood......

As for the colors, I won't buy them anyway but Andrew, I guess you should make like 80% black, then 20% orange or some other color and charge extra for them from the people who are desperate not to get blacks enough to pay a few dollars more.

Edit: As Im always negative and suck in general, I just have to point something out: these wheels will destroy bearings like none other.

I don't know about that. I don't beleive in that.
I've never heard any of the SR team riders break bearings with these protos.

Plus, you can always be more negative like:
- if the wheels are strong then the bearings will break,
- if the bearings are strong, the axle will snap,
- if the axle is strong, then the deck will crack,
- if the deck is strong, you're gonna break your legs.

The reason bearings break on most metal cores today is because the center ovalizes and does not evenly distribute pressure on impact which weakens the bearings. With a properly designed core this should not be an issue anymore.

Whatever you do, please do not make them black. White ftw. That way you can dye them whichever color you want.

WHITE POWER!
These wheels look so good, is the urathane just glued onto the core like on micros, or is more like plastic cored wheels which have some of the core go into the urathane which stops in from dehubbing as fast (i think?)
Oh and I am not racist.

I'm positive the urethane will not just sit on the wheel. Andrew wouldn't make a design like that. There's probably holes in the core or something like that to allow the urethane to connect to the core better.

Normally ALU core wheels does not have any part on it with holes (like plastic cores) that make the Urethane stick on it. If thats necesery then you got problems because it need to be sticked on the complete core, not only through some holes.
Also a bigger dia inside the wheel because of this extra part will make that the wheel loose to much rebound and comfort, so it will not work.
Most alu cores are made out of a massive bar of aluminium and then CNC turned into a core. So on the outside the core is flat.
Its the wheelmakers secret how to get the right bounding between the Alu core and the Urethane.
Believe me there are a lot of (familiar)brands that tryed it but didnt manage to get the right bounding.

no.

idk if im allowed to say how the core is, so im not gonna say anything. but its not flat where the urethane meets the core.
