I so need to learn those smooth as predrifts.

Great idea to increase acceleration bad idea to restrict tration. Are they a custom ABEC 11 as I would guess or does anyone else know otherwise?

I would have loved to make it ti Peyragudes but Train tickets were quite alot, but thanks to some awesome spectators and crew we have some great footage

Without looking I am guessing you're talking about the green dimpled type wheels and the rider has an evo and black leathers?

If so they are new ABEC 11 wheels called Centrax. A new wet/dry wheel that is bigger than BigZigs but smaller than Momos.
They ARE meant to be released but when is another question once Mischo has the world title down maybe??

Interesting, yes the Green

Interesting, yes the Green wheels. Would love to read up on how it removes water, will have to be holes that go right through to the hub to work.

I cant see a raised patch working. Would wear out fast unless its a crazy compound. We shall see.

Thanks dg

I took a guess at weight reduction (rotational inertia)

holes

Im guessing they work by giving a place for the THIN film of water that gets trapped between a slick wheel and the road to go up into the dimples and allows the water to spread out enough that you get a bit of road to wheel contact rather that the wheel hydro planing

I've never heard of those...

When doing a little research on events I heard Mischo won vernon on them and then checked the ABEC 11 thread on the fish which has the pictures comparing them to other ABEC 11 wheels.
I also talked to Lynn about them when she was here.
They look nice different take on rain wheels going wider. I doubt we will see them down hear till next year sometime.
