I had a really hard time with my first one, glue held like crazy and took me hours to do it with bits of shit left all over it, trust me, its all in the method, this way will release the rubber clean and easy
Just ordered my board and I’ve seen the other way to do it like yourself and thought there must be a faster solution and now I know that it can be done this way I am glad I can now get a converter kit and have cloud wheels of I wanted to. I also thought a hair dryer to heat up the rubber or a heat gun like others have suggested as I think it will loosen up the glue a bit better to ease off the rubber. But thank you I’m very happy as I live in the uk and the roads here are really crazy pathways too and 90 mm wheels and sleeves will not last five minutes. I would of thought that the people who designed the hub sleeves would of thought about a wheel that suits harder where not just smooth asphalt.
hello. I have a meepo v3 and I think that only the DIY pack works for me but it is never available. Do you know if there is another pack of cloudwheels that works for my v3? Thank you.
Unfortunately you'll just have to keep an eye out for when they re stock Took me ages to get mine, they tend to sell out very soon after restocking Just check every few days and youll hopefully get some, or try messaging cloudwheel Good luck!!
@@blaskotron any luck? How did you get the front cover plates off the hub. I removed the front screws and the cover doesn't come off. I have the whole hub off and still can't get the covet plate off and this PU is crazy glued on. I'm struggling hard.
@@mrfocused4014 yes I finished yesterday. It was a total bitch. But the front plate is easy, after the screws are out, only the nearby urethane is holding it so you can wedge a screwdriver / knife between the urethane and cover and pop it out.
@@mrfocused4014 for the urethane I used a oscillating saw to get most out and the rest I used a dremel. It's not dried up and solid like this video, it's very tacky, so it will take a while.
For anyone wanting to do this on Suffle V4. This method won't work. The PU on the hubs is totally different. You need to blow torch a chisel and literally slice through.
Why can't we just buy the metal sleeve somewhere? This is a HORRIBLY difficult job, that most fail at. You got off VERY VERY easy. Most have it far far worse.
I got off 'very very' easy because of the method i used, Ive done this on 4 full sets of wheels since the video and works everytime, along with many people who have used my method and let me know it worked well. If you are struggling, you are doing it wrong 🤷♂️
No offense man but you seriously you got off really really easy. IMHO this method will not work for most Meepo V3 / NLS as the PC is bonded to the sleeve with heat formed cyanoacrylate and the bond forms deeper into the metal over time. The issue is the bond is STRONGER than the wheel PC, so it stays and needs to be sanded away. Perhaps this method works on a new wheel better. Yet the three sets I've done, I've started this way the first section does not come out clean. As a avid DIY with a full machine shop and automotive bay, I can do this job. Yet for most they are going to fail at this conversion and end up buying a new set of motor wheels to get a running board again.
@jpwiggo this set in the video is an old set with a few hundred kms on them over a couple years, also done with brand new sets straight from the box. My previous job was a toolmaker, so maybe ive just got the knack for it from being professionally trained, either that or i just got extremely lucky multiple times with different sets of wheels of varying ages and usage. The key is to get under the bonding agent, so that you are not ripping the PU off of the bond, but instead the bond off of the metal
