Yak Metal Cores

[Humma]

Ive seen them. they're pretty good.
A bit too skinny for my liking

 

[NickGraham.]

Okay, so my local shop is selling them and a few of my friends have them so today I rode there scooters and heres my review of them.

Pro's:
-cheap.
-smooth.
-relatively fast.
-nobody has de-hubbed or broken them so far, at least that I know.
Con's:
-wayyyy too skinny.
-relatively slow.
-bearing cups are removable.
-has a weird feeling too it.

Personally I kinda like the wheels. I definately would choose a different brand like eagle/proto/micro if you have the money, but if your less fortunate this is a great wheel for the price.

And to Sanchez. the bearing cup should just pop right back in. it happened to my friend today and we just put it back in and it rides fine.

that makes a whole lot of sense. haha

no, i think i know what he means
like its kinda slow but kinda fast

exactly. like there just a decent in-between speed.

i guess sosos idk
greg had no problems but w/e

did u actualy break the wheel it self or just the bearing cups, & also is your model YAK branded, as i remeber u wrote soa wheels = fail due to the bearing cups break on u, yet u saying here by looks of it a yak one which is it?,

i seen u post image on this furom with that wheel on the back, looked fine & was on your scooter when snapped your french-id muffin deckk at the foldy corrrect???

& for those who broken the cups/cones, are u using Bearing spacers, as ive never broken one of these inserts in 9 months riding testing them, only broke one like user above broke the ring on the bottom come off, when removing it with too much force 7 removing them is sum thing most riders wont need to perform

i will test sum tomorrow with out bearing spacer to see if breaks, due if u run a spacer im 100% sure they cant break like users aboves pictures

okay. would it kill you too spell correctly? or at least punctuate your sentences correctly? not only does in look un-professional, but it also is very hard to read and/or understand.

[steven]

scooteronly greg said that it was an soa wheel with eagle urathan idk but i didnt break the wheel just inserts.
yes im using bearing spacers, i guess im ride to gnar for the wheels to hold up .
plus the wheels are way to skinny

 

[JackDillon]

they sell them on shq now for like 30 bucks australian.

I got my Yaks today and I really love the Wheels, haven't testet them because of bad weather but they look pretty cool.

for those who broken the cups/cones, you can't break it, because it's not glued, and you can put them out if you want to...
The plastic cups are the best idea on metalcores, because you won#t have problems with your bearings

The Pu has the same Shape as normal Wheels the Hub is just a littlebit bigger, but compared to the plastic yak hub it's the same size because there is this (don't know how to call it but it's made that the PU don't get off the Hub)

i know it not glued and that how wen the lip broke on my the inserts started to come out!!!!
ok so it might be a good idea but that if u are willin to pay for amillion sets of inserts (which in time will be more money ) so y3a

more oney than breaking shitty plastic core wheel?
haha i love you sanchezz

 

[Brian Murphy]

i rode it in the back all day at tic today so heres didnt break or anything after i broke a spoke yak metal core
pros
cheap
fast
88a
dont need to be worn down
looks cool
cons
only 100mm for now
people said the broke them with no proof

SOME wheels have to be worn in. Metal core or plastic

Fixed.
eagles dont need to be worn in

all wheels need to be worn in properly if not there are some cases of chucking i didn't wear my protos in not saying there amazing because i didn't wear them in its just a bigger risk of breaking it for like 2 weeks then after they are wore in they are fine wear your wheels down! any wheel

 

[kolbycrouch]

^ correct all the people that say they broke them didnt wear them in i assume even stock pro wheels should be worn in a little, when someone rides these go bombs some hills while putting wieght on the scoot, ill be buying some from tdadd very soon and ill give a review
