Haha Imma do this the way Kerry does his reviews, but hopefully this will help you happy
Pics? (soon) They are the turqoise inner material and white as the outer material.

Shipping took actually 13 days from Flatface to Finland, which is alot more faster than I expected, with my last package from Flatface it took 3weeks, so 10/10

First impressions The new packaging was really nice and colorful, I like how the turqoise shines trough the white. So yeah in this part I was worried about if the outer material will move. But nothing bad to say about these so far so
10/10

Craftmanship Yes the outer material moves in three wheels, it moves ''alot'' in one wheel, and just a tiny bit in two others, I just emailed Mike about that, and I'm considering about putting there just a little bit of epoxy glue. But the moving is understandable because it has to be so perfect latheing so the moving depends about 0.01mm faul in latheing. So I'll give these 9/10 for craftmanship.

Performance The moving of the outer material doesn't affect the performance. These wheels roll smoother than normal set of Flatface br editions. Like Mike said in the product description that these give you unique feeling when riding that's true. These wheels are pretty soft and heavier than normal Flatface white br editions. If you dont like heavy wheels these are still ridable and good. The only thing that bothers me is that what if the outer material will fall off???? 10/10

Overall these wheels are worth picking up, a little pricy though imo. 9.5/10
Hopefully this helped you!

Hmm..sounds wack. The outer material should not move from the inner material at all. If it does, it means that the wheel itself is not constructed as a dual durometer wheel should.

The inner material is supposed to be constructed/molded in a way that when the outer material is poured the inner harder material will "grab" the outer material and it will forever be fixed together.

So there should not be a need for glue or whatever to fix what should not be a case to deal with in the first place for this kind of product. Good thing you are giving feedback on this straight to the source!

I'm confused.. How can the wheels have an issue like this:

"Yes the outer material moves in three wheels, it moves ''alot'' in one wheel, and just a tiny bit in two others,"


And still score 9/10 in craftmanship?

Hmm why do people review the shipping? It's beyond the company's control once the package gets sent out? sad

dude it's still poorly made, no disrespect to Mike or anything but a dual durometer wheels should NEVER come apart or even move the slightest bit
i'd give it a 7 in craftsmanship if it's moving but it doesn't affect performance

Very nice review. The reason that the 2 parts of the wheel are not 100% mated to each other is becuase a) they don't need to be, and b) they're only as accurate as the lathe that they're made on which is probably only rated to one thousandth of an inch or one ten- thousandth of an inch (.001, or .0001). The wheels are machined out and press fit together, however since the material is not that hard, there will always be a very small tolerance that the wheels will have betwen the 2 parts. I can say for a fact that the wheels do not come apart on or off of the truck and the white one's with the "a" material on the inside are probably the best wheels I've ever used, and I used to swear I'd never say any wheels would ever top my winklers.

Would the material come off? As in would the two material stay on together?
