Re: Wheel Types: What's best, and why?

2010 wheels work fine when implemented correctly (I might have a video) but they are much less accurate then the pneumatic wheels.

The 2010 wheels are not as accurate simply because the way the tread is placed.

Tread on 2010 wheels

Tread on Pneumatic wheels

With the pneumatic wheels the frisbee can fit under the rubber and still have traction while the 2010 cannot.
