I tried out the 120mm Cloudwheels on the Exway Flex with some preconceptions and was surprised by the results.

UPDATE March 31: Exway are making bigger pulleys for improved torque with Cloudwheels! The pulleys in this video are 34T. The new ones will be 44T. You can choose which size to use with your big wheels (smaller for more range, bigger for more torque). __________ If you don't have time to watch me flip-flop on how I feel about these wheels for 20 minutes, you can skip to [15:29] for my summary. Hope you're all well and helping to flatten that curve!

Hey there Daniel, first off, great videos! You've definitely improved my knowledge of ESK8 boards! I had a question for you or your viewers... I have the Exway Flex and I watched this video awhile back and saw that you mentioned using the "Ride" app with the Exway board. I have not been able to connect the Ride app as it seems to only connect to my Boosted board. Did you do something special to get the Exway to connect to the ride app?

@DanielKwan 4 года назад

I’ve never tried Cloudwheels on the X1 Pro because I’m pretty sure they’ll get wheel bite. 96mm on the X1 already bites if you make a sharp turn so pretty sure 120mm isn’t feasible unless you just ride straight.

I have the same predicament with the ruff stuff wheels; great for riding over poorly paved ground but when it comes to full-on carving action, it is reduced due to elevated deck! Hence why I haven't purchased UK 'Foamies' equivalent..yet. Anyways, I've heard cloud wheels get better with age/use (soften up), so your next ride might feel even better! As always, great video Mr Kwan.

@xDrago479xOfficial 4 года назад

I preordered the flex a couple weeks ago and seriously can’t wait until it’s released! I live on a fairly large campus which thankfully has (mostly) paved streets and sidewalks, however due to the virus I’m stuck at home in an urban city with fairly large cracks and not so smooth roads - What wheels would you guys recommend I get? Should I stay stock? Cloud wheels? I’ve used my Regular longboard with Kegels quite a bit and haven’t had toooo many issues (though the comfort isn’t 100%)

@MrPhillipsTheChangeAgent 4 года назад

xDrago479x you could do cloud wheels or get some large wheels like ABEC 11 they have some 97mm and lather wheels

@DanielKwan 4 года назад

In your case I would stay stock first and see how that goes. If you can use Kegels on your longboard then you can use the stock 85mm wheels on the Flex.

@PiotrDab 3 года назад

In 4:41 you say that you had to remove the belt covers. I'm thinking about buying the cloud wheels for the WowGo 3X. The discovery version of the wheels fits perfectly to the 3X's pulleys, but I'm worried that riding without belt covers can be somewhat dangerous because of possibility of some little stones or so could get under the belt. What's your take on that? Would you ever consider it a problem?

@gregsun247 4 года назад

Will the hub be a lot slower compared with the new pulleys they are offering in the future? But, it would end up having lower range correct? I got the hub because it was quieter and on par comparison with the riot for performance. Did I make the wrong choice?

@BrandonBoyPH 4 года назад

Daniel Kwan 120mm is not good. I see. Thanks!

@Stanz8 4 года назад

Perhaps, to compensate for the lack of braking/acceleration you could switch to bigger wheel pulleys (if they even fit)? It would then definitively eat up a lot more of range, but it would have the same performance. Those ABEC core pulleys should be easily findable, so switching to a bigger one shouldn't be that hard to find. Then you might also need to change the belt. But overall, nice content!

@tommynguyen8620 4 года назад

I've done this for a boosted board with 3d printable pulleys, if i can get my hands on a set of exway pulleys i can probably model a set up for that. It definitely helps with the torque, but you do need larger belts and a bit of extra work on fitment.

@DanielKwan 4 года назад

Hi Great Video....Just have a few questions What video equipment do you use? Your camera never goes out of focus I'm a complete beginner to the eskateboarding and escooter world thus have a very basic question....I bought the Exway X1 Pro and some shred lights. Tried to install the lights but it seems I will need to take off the grip tape in order to screw on the lights....is that the only way? I ideally don't want to risk spoiling the grip tape

@MrPhillipsTheChangeAgent 4 года назад

Hassan Naqvi the grip tape on the Exway boards can be pulled up and placed back down. The cushion grip tape is very think. Just peel it up and when you are done smack it back down. It will stick. Just pull it up enough to reach the bolts.

@DanielKwan 4 года назад

I list my video equipment in the description. For this one it was really simple, just DJI Osmo Action and a mic. As for that foam grip tape, just use a hair dryer to loosen the glue (may take a couple minutes or more) and lift the grip tape slowly. Try not to stretch it. Use a blade to cut the glue if it's not moving. It's a very slow process if you want to avoid deforming the grip tape. To put the light mounts on top, poke holes in the grip tape so that the screws can go through.
