New wheel idea.

[humpurple kushiones]

well i was thinking, and i had an amazing highdea, instead of making a wheel one piece, why not make the urethane detachable. people thought of it before but i think that its about time someone trys it.

Pros:
Possibility to use whatever urethane hardness/ even a different matirial depending on what you're riding that day (park street... dirt? ect..)
different wheel sizes
different core material / color
urethane shape/ color/ anything
core ovalizes or breaks, get a new core, urethane cracks/ dehubbs, get new urethane.
you could have different colored bolts and ----- think of how badass that would look. black core, red urethane, gold bolts. fresh as fuck
cons:
it would be more expensive, but in the long run not having to replace the whole wheel would be cheaper.

the urethane would rest on a ring of metal or plastic that has holes for the bolts, and the core would have a lip with holes for bolts and you would bolt it on. the core be 2 different halves down the middle and be bolted together on the urethane ring so they obviously wont come apart. so there would pretty much be 2 sides to the core bolted on to the ring on both sides, and in the center of the cores is the ring that the urethane is attached too. its all just an idea feel free to add or tell me im retarded lol.

i agree on you with this one
it'd take a little while to actually design a prototype but someone should DEFENITELY do this

I think its genuis. Would be sooo much better than having to buy new wheels.

Sounds like it would break easier, especially if it was 2 parts of the core. And do you mean theurithane would have holes in it for the bolts?

no, the urethane would have a ring on the inside of it with hole. that would slip onto the core and u bolt it.

no no lol the urethane would be bonded to a ring of metal or w/e (like a normal wheel), and that ring would have holes.

there would be 2 halves of the core lengthwise. so it would be like 2 cores, but when you turn them around they are flat, and theres a female grove around it for the ring on the urethane. when you put them together on the urethane ring and line up the holes you bolt them and that would keep the cores together perfectly. ill draw something if people still dont get it lol.

ahahahahaha, fuck yes it does.

why don't they make scooter wheels the same way they make em for skateboards?

 

[Steezeman]

^ Because they're too big. With the same urethane as scooter wheels but no core they would flex way too much, and with the same urethane as a skateboard we'd be sliding all over.

Just wait like a week haha. Got some shit on the come up.

 

[humpurple kushiones]

something like this though tom?

for people who didnt get it. yea my handwriting is horrible lol.

 

[TomK]

Just wait.........

 

[humpurple kushiones]

ight..

but does anyone see anything wrong with this idea? i cant find anything at the moment but i may not be thinking hard enough. id love to see this exact design actually happen.

 

[Rob.]

Honestly. It seems like an alright idea.

 

[BrandonWeir]

I had this idea while trying to fall asleep a few months ago. It looks like it can't be nig rigged. But if done right, it looks like it'd work pretty well.

 

[Joe Trainer]

This is very true because I drew this design high as shit hahahha

And heres a close up

EDIT: The nut could be replace with something less protruding (idk what?) or the hole on that ring could be larger to fit the nut inside and make it flush.

 

[humpurple kushiones]

thats exactly what i was thinking at first.
then i thought about having 2 halves of the core meet in the middle. both of them are really good though.

 

[Tyler Rehard]

holy shit...this might just be the future

 

[Andrew Young]

weed makes people like me almost shit themselves (Jon.s sig)
for other people it turns them into geniuses
