project: custom metalcores is over =[ update on p.38

[zakmak]

we care about weight.

k?

 

[Matt Dibble]

n00b.

strength and durability should come before all

 

[JAM3S]

MICRO METAL COREZZZZ OMG

 

[Hep Greg]

lol thanks for that lovely input james. =]

i dont think that ridge design for the hub is a good idea. i think one solid, thick ridge will work better. also, those 3 ridges would be rediculously hard to cut, causing price of production to rise.

 

[Oscar]

I can't wait for the final product, I'm definitely buy three, four pairs.

 

[Eric Magray]

who cares abot wieght wow an oz or two more

yea he is right. the most i could shave off without losing strength would barely change the weight.

but i think that the hub being smaller and the urethane going deeper is a good idea. so ill have to change that.

good point, so now just one thick ridge.

 

[zakmak]

i think one ridge would be ok but there would be nothing for the urathane to hold on to like as razor wheels have those holes around the rim.


and to matt, we want these wheels to be perfect, i care about every little spec of these wheels because the sooner we have the design down the sooner we have the wheels and i want to have the design down first try when we have a pair of test wheels made.

also eric if your going to change the design get a picture up so i can send it to him, i emailed him telling him about what we are doing with this and he wants a few pictures.

 

[chrisisme]

So the wheels are going to be 105mm? Cool, dont have to file my brake now!

ok, ill probably just send pics of the drawings with the dimensions and measurements written because i dont have the sketchup on my comp its on my friends. and i cant go over today cause im grounded.

 

[zakmak]

ok cool.

i just want this to get on the production line and have us test a pair out.

 

[Alex.Peasley]

make the ridge a little higher then the wheel itself also so it'll have a more of grip

 

[Eric Magray]

yea so this looks like the final one if you like it:

 

[zakmak]

i sent him both ideas the one on the last page and above also asking him what he had in mind what we could use.

 

[Eric Magray]

sounds good. i cant wait for this to go through

 

[chrisisme]

are the bearings thick enough? otherwise thats a sick wheel

 

[Eric Magray]

its draw almost exactly to scale. im not perfect but the drawing is symmetrical and square, and yes the bearings are the right size (i used a real bearing to trace).

 

[ENERGY TURTLE]

This will be so sweet!!! Im ordering a pair for sure!!

 

[Hep Greg]

the ridge is too thin. it wont support the urethane correctly. square it off.

 

[Eric Magray]

i was going to but then there would be less surface are for the urethane to bond to. and besides, the aluminum is plenty strong enough.

but if yous really think it should be different ill make a new design (or 2) tomorrow, im too tired to do more tonight.

 

[Alex.Peasley]

i think we should keep the bowl idea so it doesnt dehub easyer
