NEW NEWZ and contrary to the rumor this is the good kind.
colour chart is online.


full sized funkyness is at
http://baltimore.serverindo.net/%7Ejake/robotwars/marketplace/urithane%20colour%20chart.jpg

We are thinking of offering a service for colson owners, send us the wheels and we will retread it.
Really i dont think it will be that economical for the "home user" to do their own. you have to get the urithane (its not the stuff you dip tool handles in btw) which comes in kilo tins. you have to mix it *very* accuratly, we do it to within 1 gram, Then we put it through a temperature profile so we get the most consistant parts possible.

then we dip it in rich creamery butter Smile

not a post on wheels but on polyurethane none the less, to get those different hardnesses of polyurthena, do you have to buy different variations of the two parts or can you mix the polyols and isocyanates (mwuhah fear my technicalness) in different ratios to get the hardnesses?

so you need say 4 wheels in orange and 4 in yellow.

no swilry stuff
solid colours only at this stage

we can make them wider but it will cost more depending on size.

We can do anything you want for the right price ;->

we can do custom wheel sizes and colours.
Minimum order for a different colour is 4 wheels, and an extra $15 for the pigment.

we can also do custom sizes cost is $40 for the mould and $25 for the wheel (unless it is getting much larger). We can go up to 200mm but at that size the squidgyness may be too much to take, we are investigating different harder compounds so those with larger than average wheel needs arent discriminated against.

we are bringing out 80mm wheels as part of our standard line so you can order that size at no additional cost.

Hi Jake, I'm up for four custom sized wheels on my own hubs. the dimensions are 60mm diameter by 38mm wide. If possible, I want a dark colour additive - doesn't really matter what shade it is, just so that the urethane isn't transparent. If you need some cash up front for materials, just say the word.

Shouldn't that be "same polarity" magnets? Opposites attract in magnet land.

Cheaper to put a few lines on opposite polarity magnets under the floor so the wheels get trapped by the enourmouse attactive mag field. Laughing
