alex's 1st design wouldnt work, because the outer rim of the hub and the urethane stick out farther than the bearings on the sides. therefore it wouldnt fit.

i love this idea except machining would cost alot but i think these would work great, i had an idea today, we need to also perfect the urathane too because i rode some wheels today the richard humpforfree's and they suck, i didn't dehub it, the urathane kinda ripped off liek the new yaks and it had dust in it.

when these wheels are made i am going to personally talk to the manufacturer about the urathane and it needs to be top quality

simple.

i also like this idea except make it habe the bowl idea like the top and it will be perfect, have enough support for the bearings yet cut a little weight off.

zak-sounds great.
maybe it would be possible to make the hub first, powder coat it, then put the uruthane on?

or would that be too hard/expensive?

we arn't painting them yet, first we need a solid hub design then we can have the urathane put on, urathane manufacturers suck these daysfrom what we have seen.

yak's messed up
blank yaks messed up
richard humfrys had dust in them like new yaks, i was asked to test them out, and im no hard rider which obviously proves the urathane sucks.

another thought to get out there is like in this picture you notice the black stuff well if i am right its sticky and helps the urethane to stick to the hub also so it would be good to add that along with it.

yeah where are these dehubed metalcores. i only know of one.

here is the same wheel but with ''the bowl'' idea into it but in a simpler way

well you could anodize it before it gets the tread put on but powdercoat is a no because even if the urethane can bond to it, it will probably dehub cuase the powdercowt will peel off from the urethane. id rather have the urethane bonded straight to the metal.

well someone changed it before and it wasn't me, i just chaned it to a badass name.

lol :) i just thought that since its not micro anymore it deserved a new name

no holes please. rather not risk the bending-ovalizing danger and weight reduction wouldn't help much. Stick with one of Erics

it won't ovalize if the material is thick and resists bending, unlike micros
