They mounted up perfectly on the AM hubs.

I just tried to order these, as they still showed in stock. I used chat support to check on shipping time, but when he checked he said they were actually already out of stock, the website had not been updated. In his words:

Our supplier is the manufacturer itself and they will not have this product either until approximately mid February.

I agree with Sean, any small inventory most of these suppliers had seems to be wiped out by FRC teams. All are stuck with MFR lead time of 4-6 weeks.

Where are people on the east coast planning on getting their 8" Colson wheels?

The term is actually non-marking which of course is self explanatory. The primary application of the non-marking versions are on personal mobility scooters where they will drive across floors you don't want to leave black marks on.

We have been using the MBS vines so far this season and haven't run into any problems.

Has anyone found a source for the 1" - 4-40 thread rolling screws that come with the AndyMark hubs? We have tried using regular 4-40s and they don't work well in new hubs. Trying to avoid having to tap all the hubs.

When they said "your killing me" they meant it in a good way.

This is definitely good for all of these companies. Although I'm sure all of them wish they had more.
