Here is the final CAD
*It will be 7075 AL (citris yellow)
*50 X 44 x 58g.
*It will have a 15mm axle
*the pads will be recessed .4mm
*flat 5x8x4 bearing. (NOT BEEFACKED)
I’ll be letting you know who will snag a prototype once I have a quote back.

The participators have been chosen.
Thank you everyone for the really positive response.
If the protoype works out well, there will be a production run!

Recessed pads are a legendary touch with this bearing.
Can’t wait to get my hands on a production run!

7075 instead of ‘68. Recessed the pads and spread the rim weight to bring it closer to the body from what I’ve gathered.
Oh! And scrapped the beefcake bearing

Another important change is the bearing. I have ordered more precise, shieldless and lightly lubed bearings. The ones in thw first proto were really vibey when clean and absolutely caked with grease.

Yodaddyo:
7075 instead of ‘68.
7075 instead of 6061.
On paper 7068 is meant to be stronger than 7075, but in my experience I find 7075 is tougher and less likely to ding. Thats why I chose 7075 over 7068.
