You're absolutely right when it comes to impacting man hole covers and bike path bridges .The worst I felt were the 105 dadbod wheels ,a little half-inch thick metal bridge ramp almost threw me off my board .
Nah i think youre right on the thinner contact having more comfort. I think its cause hitting the whole surface of the wheel will have more resistance. Hitting a smaller point in the urethane will have more squish.
Size matters depending on rider. Wider makes sense in grass, gravel, and just more terrain than street. This is why Esk8 is awesome is that you do not have to be committed to one area or the same predictable place. You can go ahead and prove me wrong by getting some roller blade wheels and seeing how well you can AT.
Physics disagrees with the contact point topic, there is more force applied to a smaller contact..BUT i wholeheartedly agree in terms of esk8 because I experience the same thing. Keep it up 🎉
It kinda makes it sketchy at fast speed though. My roads are pretty bad and the contact on 120 clouds made it feel like the wheels were hunting side to side.
The point about the contact patch is true. Smaller contact patch means there's less material to compress, and it's gonna feel softer. Force = pressure * surface_area Pressure is like tyre pressure - basically material hardness. So if the wheels are made out of the same material : less surface area = less force to compress
Interesting point about the non flat contact point going over manhole covers. I actually though the flat wheels would be better for that since the same amount of force is transmitted in a larger section of the wheel allowing more of the PU to dampen the force. But I only have the non flat wheels so that's just my theory. In fact I've only had my cloud wheels for about a 2 weeks lol.
I'm not entirely sure about the accuracy regarding the transfer and contact patch. The same amount of energy is transferred upon impact, but with a larger contact patch, the energy is distributed over a greater surface area. This means that while more of the surface you hit is in contact, the impact is spread out more. With a smaller contact patch, the force is still the same, but it is concentrated on a smaller area, resulting in a sharper impact that might feel more intense because less of the surface came into contact with what you hit. I guess it all depends on what you hit and how you hit it too.
Hi Fred, I like your reviews because, like me, you're an urethane lover and you like pushing the wheels to the limits. Here again, great review! Two questions: did you try to slide them (I like the way Galaxy wheels do) ? Are they as dangerous as the Galaxy on wet ground ?

That green pops!
Fred,
Please review the Linnpower wide wheel / slick tire combo. It will bolt on 8mm axles.
The grip is insane!!!

Dude knows his wheels💯. I’m so happy the 105s came with my zealot. They grip so much better than I had ever pictured. 🔥🔥
So happy to see a new hub motor sleeve! Be curious to hear how it compares with Galaxy Pro ones!
Another great review Fred. Thanks for the info.

The point you made about the not flat contact patch wheels making going over cracks "more comfy" is soo true
It kinda makes it sketchy at fast speed though. My roads are pretty bad and the contact on 120 clouds made it feel like the wheels were hunting side to side.
Could you do a video where you compare all the different cloudwheels? Galaxy pro, rover etc.
Looking forward to seeing this review from among the best in the biz! (Fred & Max)
Legends actually.

Great detailing, Love the Unity, still looking sharp❤

The review I wanted to see 👏
bro, you are soooo informative.. Love it. 👍
I like my original clouds but I’m on hub motors now when I upgrade to a belt these may be a good option
I wish they were offered in kegel, it’s the only reason i dont own several sets of clouds. ☁️
for the AT you prefer 120mm?
great review as usual!
Nice video man. Do they grip more than BOAs ?

Urethanes are so much more fun than other wheels. But I'm sure they are bad on wet ground. Without tread any wheel will be dangerous on wet pavement.
@@boneheadnumber1409 icloud Galaxy are particularly bad on the wet
Thank you
Can you look at the isinwheel V10
coming next week!! its in this video actually 🤘🏼✅✅
@@esk8unityHell yeah
@@esk8unity I got 4 videos on it right now
When do these wheels become available?
Nvm finally hopped on Instagram and saw they are coming out July 1st!
went to the website to find these, not there, not interested anymore.
Did you comment this on Kami and Dkwan and Rage studios review too?
@@eboardlifestyle I don’t follow them. Dont like their video styles.
Hell even if they just made em in white you could still dye them whatever color you want
