I must say...this is quite possibly the most beautiful wheel I have ever seen in FIRST.

Can we all get a weight on it?

Re: pic: 1024 Biohazard Wheel
 

I have seen the bio-hazard before, but still this is a very nice wheel.

Amazing...:)

Re: pic: 1024 Biohazard Wheel
 

Wow. Those are beautiful.

Re: pic: 1024 Biohazard Wheel
 

Very nice wheel, and I love the homage to IFI's traction wheels. Beautiful colors as well.

Sure, as shown with all parts (2 hex bearings, all hardware, sprocket, and sprocket spacer) is 1 pound.

1lb per wheel?

Re: pic: 1024 Biohazard Wheel
 

Out of curiosity, why anodize the curved plate when it will be covered by traction material?

Re: pic: 1024 Biohazard Wheel
 

aww no neon green? ;)

Re: pic: 1024 Biohazard Wheel
 

I am absolutley in love with that color scheme! :]

Re: pic: 1024 Biohazard Wheel
 

Yes, one pound per wheel.

You can see the tabs from where the wheels hook together and we did not like the look not anodized.

those things are awesome... what's the weight on them?

Re: pic: 1024 Biohazard Wheel
 

Ethereal. did u CNC these?

Re: pic: 1024 Biohazard Wheel
 

Laser cut actually, then the curved plate shape was created using a hand roll form tool in our shop.

Re: pic: 1024 Biohazard Wheel
 

Super cool!

Great job calibrating the roller... that's an impressively toleranced part for a harbor freight special benchtop roll-n-break.

Completely awesome. Nice looking wheels.

I certainly hope you're going with blue nitrile treads to complete the look.

Re: pic: 1024 Biohazard Wheel
 

What are these side plates made out of?

Re: pic: 1024 Biohazard Wheel
 

Aluminum!

Aluminum!

Re: pic: 1024 Biohazard Wheel
 

Oops, a double post. :p

Anyway, my response to the wheels. Oooooo , shiny....

Re: pic: 1024 Biohazard Wheel
 

How thick and what alloy?
Bruce

Re: pic: 1024 Biohazard Wheel
 

All parts pictured are 5052 Aluminum and .090 thick except for the bearing retainer which is made out of .063

Re: pic: 1024 Biohazard Wheel
 

Assuming you are using hardened aluminum, what hardness of 5052 are you using? T3,T4,T6?

Re: pic: 1024 Biohazard Wheel
 

We use 5052-H32 for pretty much all of our laser cut parts, it is a pretty good middle of the road material in terms of cost, strength, and formability. This is also a material that our sponsors stock so it is readily available during build season. 5052 also has good weldablity although it was not a factor for these parts.
