- The SOA wheel is from the FIRST batch.
- JoeRiley, yes it was broken in.
- I didnt swap the wheels around, because i wouldnt be able to tell if the damage was new or not.

& the first batch is the same as yak wheels & orange wheels, we just held the orange models till now before selling

there was one production when all these wheels were made at same time, each PU different when colours are changed & sum of the cores had flat tops or strips of metal going into the PU

ive also seen you post that wheel a few times in pst months back & it always looked used to me, so is it worn that much from 15mins or few months of riding, also the fact its black now might sure fact u see the pu wear on top, s ive never seen them wear like that, indeed on rough rds yeah they wear fast & crack easy

the bearing cups every one puts as cons, but what actual problem has gone wrong for you, as knowing this info can only help the design in the future

The wheel has been worn previously yes, most of the cracks WERE there before from paths. The urathane flaking away was what i was talking about. The bearing cups on my soa are fine but on my yak the bearing falls out. i put them as "cons" because people have had problems breaking them, or like me not staying in.

thanks for comment & yeah as we posted every order a note the PU isnt good for rough roads foot paths so on, i have sum used at skate park only & there smooth as not worn down going fine till other day i did 360 but landed 270 & broke the front one

the bering cups we sent you yeah are fine, i have heaps here which are bad quality like loose when inserted to the core of the hubs & also the bearings as you said fall out, we try post all good qualtiy cups plus extra spare for each wheel free of charge, when yak store tryed get skyhigh to buy like heaps wheels wholesale & sell the yak metal cores are a higher price to get free replacment cups

no future metal cores will be around market price the 20mm are sold cheaper due to the quality also cost less to make with less material

the orange onees we have on website are made at same time as the blue ones & yaks model yes there 34.95 like other au shows retil the yak metal cores for


the PU is stronger, but have the metal strips in them so there more chance of dehubbing i broke one & so did a team rider, but i have others i ride which are going fine

Ok, :)
When are you releasing the "Fat" metal core,
And how much will they be.
Also will the urathane be like the yaks at the moment, or better quality.
