http://www.daddiesboardshop.com/images/products/display/soywheel-300.gifThis is them, come in 66, 70, 76mm made from Soy based urethane (environmentally more friendly). Retail for $80-$90 a set. We haven't had a dry road to try them on yet, but they seem very sticky (they stick to each other a lot) and have an interesting back cut lip. We'll hopefully know more this Sunday if it stays fine and we can get a good hit on Stuart.

Have been running these bad boys on Mt stuart for the last couple of weekends, for my first 5 runs, and are really liking the feel of them.
The lip is similar to that of a mini monster, and to be honest they grip very very well.
I've been trying my best to get them to slide, and i had much luck they just like to grip and go.
They react very differently to a o-tang. The one thing i've found with otangs, is that once the wheels are hot after a few runs they start to slide a lot more.
With these wheels i haven't found that to happen,they are also not being coned as fast as a blue mini monster either.
I have only ridden them for two weeks, and will continue to ride them until things start to happen. Will keep you posted.
Cheers
Grits

Hey Grits do you think your run in period was different to the O Tangs that you've run? I think Brads run in was less. Is that right Brad? I think I might grab a set from Ado when I get to T'ville and give them a whirl.

In period do you mean time wise?
If you do mean time wise, then no. Same amount of runs in the same amount of time. Both first 5 runs, because i'm more fresh and i don't like riding my bb when i'm tired, especially on stuart.
I only usually do 5 runs on my BB because we only ever do 10 runs of a sunday. That way i can keep up on both 5 on bb, 5 on luge.
I'll be in brissy over the weekend and i won't get to run them this weekend, but i will run them the weekend after.
I do like how they ride. But they could be a wheel that once they slide, they won't stop, like brad said.

Yeah time wise and speed build up. When I first run a set of wheels I build up speed gradually over 3-5 runs depending upon how they 'come 'in'. Then I 'work' them as in test them to see what their perfomance is like and how long their performance window is. Then I'll record all that stuff, then get a few more from Ado and put them away until needed. Sounding very possible like they might have tendancies for a rear BB Drift wheel. I ran some old Krptos on the rear of my SBB at Baskerville Drift Comp and I thought the Krptos had got away from me, that was until I got home and found the board had delaminated the front 1/3 of it's length - hard on the gear that Drifting.

Delam - yeah well it's my first BB so I'm not sure to expect with the life expectancy. But I made some Ply Discus when doing my time as a Speed Boat Laminator at Successcraft in Toowoomba and those Discus copped a hiding and a couple of those delaminated mainly from racing at hi speed and of course falls were part of the day. Bit nuts the equipment abuse and nothings changed, I'm still out there testing stuff to find it's limits.
