The wheels that Max was riding is a protype and the final production wheel will not look like this. Those holes are not for bolts or anything like that.

I just realised a possible flaw in the design and/or scooter check.
Max Peters said that you could change the urethane from 100 to 110, but this is not possible. Anyone remember Phoenix wheels? Well they have the same size cores on the 100mm and 110mm models, therefore the 110's have heaps more urethane and are flimsy and slow. The same thing will happen to the Blunt urethane, so if you wanted to go from 100 to 110 you would probably need to buy a new core/urethane. Is this correct?

Are you fucking stupid or something?
The more urethane=faster: 110mm wheels have more surface area than 100mm wheels due to the extra... 10mm
The cores on almost all 100/110 wheels are the same, the only difference is the urethane, the reason you buy 110 is for more speed and longer life (vs. wear down). It's possible, you just take the old off and put the new on, the only incompatibility would be with forks

whoa arent you smart. 10mm isn't going to dramatically slow you down

It does on Phoenix wheels though, people with 100's said that they were smooth, fast and just good wheels. but the 110s people said(devinthedew) that they were the slowest, least smooth, weirdest feeling wheels and they'd rather pro mod. ALSO, there is alot more core then urethane, I have no idea how much more though. Lets just say maybe 35 percent of a wheel is urethane and the rest is the core, so really 10mm more urethane could make quite the difference.
wheels.
And no, the cores are almost never the same. You need a good amount of core and a good amount of urethane to have a fast, smooth perfect wheel.
Your wrong. 110 have way bigger cores. A lot of urethane=slow just like conzzi said about the Phoenix wheels.
but if they have normal 110 mm cores...when you put the 100mm urethane..that will be barely any urethane.

Hey Guys,
We don’t and will never make a 70mm core with 110mm PU on it. Reason: we don’t like the look. So to answer your question no there will not be excess Pu on the wheel to bring it up to 110mm.
With the speed talk guys. This is how I look at it. 10mm in diameter will not make a massive amount of difference in speed, however it will be more stable when going fast. Hence why downhill skate boarders don’t use 53mm wheels, they use 68’s. As for fast wheels. The reason why most companies use 88a Pu hardness is well really it’s a industry standard and widely available and is a good middle ground. Going up and down you get a completely different feel to the wheel. Down to something like a 82 or a 85a.. You will have a slow soft wheel; however you will have a tone of grip. If you go up to a 93 or a 95 you get a hard, slippery but very fast wheel. Using a 70mm wheel and having a 110mm Pu, it could in theory give you a slow wheel affect as there is more cushion, however it also gives you a smoother feel. So really up to you guys..
Blunt goes for 88a with a wide radius on our wheels, this gives the wheel a little bit more surface area for grip. The Rebate wheel will open it up to different hardness, and people will be able to customize their wheels to whatever they are riding.. eg.. need fast hard wheels for street.. or softer grapier wheels for park.. You can have the replacements in your bag.
