New GC Aluminium Frames. Geek-out.
from LocoSkates on 30 Jan 2020

Jake Eley on the new Ground Control Aluminium Frames. Closer look and geeking out on some of the specs.

Measurements: Frame height GC: 32mm
Frame height Sola: 30mm

Middle wheels split GC: 114mm
Middle wheels split Sola: 112mm

(This makes sense! If the tolerance is tight then you directly sacrifice the same amount of ride height for middle-wheel split and vice versa)

Frame wall thickness GC: Thicker!
Frame Wall thickness Sola: Thinner!

Kizer Element 2 frames have a split of 140mm and a height of 40mm, it’s not a sensical comparison though as they are designed to take different sized wheels.

Putting my £170 Intuition liners in an oven | LocoSkates
from LocoSkates on 9 Nov 2019

The advice seems to be; Don’t heat-mould your intuition liners in the oven… so we heat moulded some Intuition liners in the oven. Did they shrink? did they set alight? Did the universe implode in on itself? Find out…
