What is the cross compatability with v1? v1 spoke plates will fit v2 barrels. V2 spoke plates will not fit v1 barrels
What colors will be available? Barrels will be available in Onyx (black), Oro (gold), Sapphire (blue), Emerald (green), Amethyst (purple). I did my best to colormatch Sapphire, Emerald and Amethyst to the metallic filaments I've been using recently. Spoke plates will be available in Onyx (black), Oro (gold), Argentum (silver/clear)
Will colors and spoke patterns change every release? Absolutley. Onyx and Oro will probably be permanent but expect three rotating colors for barrels and one for spoke plates
Will there always be a carbon spoke option? Yes. There will be a unique pattern available in some funky forged carbon every 1.4 release.
Is this a limited release? Compared to normal releases- no. There are 25 sets of each barrel color available. There are 50 sets of the gold fleck carbon faces and 25 sets in each of the 3 spoke patterns/colors of aluminum faces
Are presale purchases limited? No. You can buy as many different combinations as you want. Mix and match. Have fun.
Do wheels come pre-assembled? If you buy an equal number of barrels and faces I will loosly pre-assemble for shipping as a final quality inspection. I will not be attaching hubs as they are all pre-bagged with their bolts and spacers. if you buy an uneven number of barrels and faces I will choose which ones to mount and the extras will be packaged up.
If I buy on presale when will my wheels ship? On or about the 10th of October (earleir if I get my shit together). Just a matter of getting everything packed up and organized.
Is this shift to aluminum barrels permanent? I sincerely hope so. My goal all along has been to move to a more durable material. 3D printing is a great way to get started but it is definitely not the endgame. I'm happy to have spent the last almost two years developing designs and techniques to produce the highest possible quality prints but I am ready to move on (and my printers need a vacation)
more questions? ask away.
