The FE discovery wheels launch on the 1st July www.icloudwheel.com/collectio... The flat contact patch really has made a difference to the wheel and having a foam core reduces the slow speed vibration & noise
I just bought the Cloudwheels 120 a couple months ago so I already have the pulley kit to go with these wheels. I'll definitely be getting a set of the 120 FE to put on my Titan X. I'm guessing I'll see a slight bump in range. Can't wait to try them. Thanks for the vid!
These have me interested. Every time I have eaten it on my board, I was riding the Discovery's. The SLIGHTEST bit of moisture caused my back end to kick out so fast. Heck, one time the ground was wet, I hit a small tree branch and the wheel had no traction to roll over the branch so it just turned my wheels into ice skates. I have never had an issue with the stock PU wheels I threw back on my board. Since then I have never gone back to the Discovery's.
I had 3 pairs in a row that delaminated I am not sure if it my weight but they sent me replacements each time. That was the 105mm but for some reason the 120mm is just fine and I am running them now on my 2nd pair. I am 220lbs and ride a Verreal RS and I put 1000 miles on the first pair of 120's and they were fine but the 105's for some reason just pull apart over and over but I love the feel of the cloudwheel over all.
These look really nice. I imagine a set of 120's on a Zeus Pro would be fantastic. It's time for a new board for me again. Your last bit of info about something new coming has me intrigued. Hopefully something progressive.
*Great to see a follow up on these wheels!* 🤟🏽⚡️🤙🏽⚡️🤟🏽 I'm feelin like the 120mm is the one to go for if someone is considerin FE, the 105s ain't really equal to or better than Mads or Dad Bods from what I hear so far.
Well now I own both and I just tested the Mads v2. They definitely grip slightly better than the BOAs, and seem to absorb a bit more vibrations rolling over unperfect roads (I got the first generation of BOA 100 in 83A). However the Mads definitely make a humming/whistling noise at any speed you ride due to the whole inside them. I read that it's only happening at low speed, but trust me, at ANY speed you get this noise riding, that I think is quite annoying. BOAs definitely are quiet wheels and don't make any noise. It's hard to tell which ones I prefer in the end. If Mads didn't make the noise, I would prefer those over BOAs
@@davidheath2427 yes I don't think this is really doable to plug or cover the holes. I'm reaching out to Brian from Madesk8 and see if maybe I got a bad batch or something, because no one is mentions this noise happening whatever the speed you go at. In any case, it's possible that the sharp lips/edges of those holes in the inside of the wheels are the one responsible for the noise they make against wind pressure. In this case maybe a simple use of a dremel to sand those edges creating a small bevel out of those holes' sharp edges could help to dampen the effect ...? I wonder... But so far yes, I do think the noise is quite annoying.
Jokes aside these do look really nice. I have put just over 600 klms on regular 120 discovery and they have gotten better as they have worn down. Not quite as flat as these yet but a noticeable change from new. Still deadly in the wet though the only real problem I have with them
