Starting a series of concept design videos.

The first design is of a rear road hub.

Big thanks to Sugarkane for firing ideas back and forth with me a while ago, regarding this!

This video is part one of the rear road hub, and shows the initial 2D concept drawing, and moves into the first 3D model, before any fine tuning, or viability processing takes place.

Thought it might be interesting and relevant to this thread.

Made a video about a potential serious issue with using hybrid ceramics in rear hubs...

Might be interesting :)

@TheDarkInstall,

Any new update(s) on the Extralite hub issue that you encountered recently?
Would love to hear some updates as well as trouble background, if possible.

FYI..planning on getting a new wheelset with Extralite CyberRear SP hubs instead of Tune Mag 150.
(Ease as service, as oppose to using thin spacers for adjustment)

Please feel free to share if you have any particular thoughts on that.

Cheers

I do want to mention something in regards to the fake wheel company videos.
Our name has been pretty prominently featured as being a fake wheel company, basically adding stickers to open mould rims and calling our self a brand.

Just to clear up any confusion, we do have our rims produced for us in Taiwan and China. However the rims are all of our own designs. We own the tooling, molds, and have dedicated production for our rims. In the case of carbon rims we even have the molds built into the presses for a more dedicated production line.
Basically you will not find our rims with any other stickers on them!
