yea good point but thats why you need to lube the bearing slots when you put them in.and you should never hammer them in, i always pressed mine in.
project: custom metalcores is over =[ update on p.38

Hey, same here. I thought I was the only one. (seriously). All my friends hammer theirs in. But, you now that 99% are going to hammer them in. And why risk it when you can just change one dimension.

no holes.

I'm pretty sure that 1mm is enough for a metalcore, since plastic cores have 1,25mm bearing lip.
3mm would be overkill since in that case there would be a chance to stuck those bearings because of the lip going against the bearing wall so it won't spin.
Plus, i NEVER recommend to hammer your bearings in. If you can't press with your hands, use a short bolt and wide washers to compress it it. Hammering might destroy the bearing.

no holes make it full core

the holes are nice i think, makes it different and lighter. but yea it might not be strong enough for all those hardcore riders out there.
well i emailed lee with the previous drawings that conor did and he tried showing me a design that he had in mind but the picture would not come appear.
i emailed him back asking him to resend it or send me the url and i guess i will send these and say this is our final drawings.
thanks madis, thanks everyone.

There isnt much metal around the bearings on Lee's wheel, and no bmx rims. I think Madis's is your best bet. They look beast and the holes look sweet. Madis's wheels look exactly perfect imo. Id buy at least 2 pairs.
damn straight i totally agree with you adam.
i want the holes, they look better every time i look at them.
and we have no clue what the rim looks like because he only gave me that one picture.
but hey, if they hold up there fine with me. adventually we will get a graphic on the side of somthing.

that plus the bmx style flanges and the holes like madis and it looks perfect. and it looks like theres plenty of metal around the bearings.Zak Ploof said:ok i have a picture of what he would like.
p,s i sent him madis's pictures to see how he liked them.
Conor Davidson said:
well it has 10 mm on each side. i dont know if your talking about total or each side. and i was talking about the bearing lip as it looks like the size of an axle, im not sure if thats 8mm, but how would you get the bearings out?
i really like madis's design.

well id just say a bit more urethane if were using the flange idea since its gonna prevent dehubbing anyway
its cool, i didnt really get the joke anyway.Zak Ploof said:
