AndyMark Performance Wheels

Oh so pretty: http://www.andymark.biz/perf-wheel.htm

Looks like Andy and Mark are at it again! These look nice guys. Keep up the good work.

Strangely enough I'm wearing my Shift Happens shirt today. These are some sweet wheels but I still don't see the dual omni wheels yet.

[Jonathan Norris]

Look very nice, the selection of Hex bore is a little puzzling to me, seems like most teams use the standard bearing in the wheels and then sprocketed. Those these seemed to be designed for more of a 254-type drive system... Look like these will be more robust than the ifi wheels, but may need a little more customization to fit the needs (change the hex bore).

[Josh Murphy]

I think they look great, only wish we could get them, but we just stick to a traditional boring wheel. They look very robust and will probably exceed what is expected of them.

Look cool, but I can't see the price. All it says is 'Error: Data not available (100)' Anyone else have this problem?

EDIT: I looked around the site, and none of the price or weight fields seem to work.

I don't have a problem.

It's $59 for a wheel, and they are 0.8 pounds (My favorite part about them)

[EHaskins]

Everything seems to work now.

They are sweet wheels.

You can always bore it out for a standard shaft.

[Ian Curtis]

Yay! An AndyMark product that non-FIRSTERS will appreciate when you set it on the center of the table.*

*Whenever the families of the core build team go out to eat, we bring along AM products to discuss, since more seem to keep arriving every day. They always end up as the centerpiece, and the waiters/waitresses never understand.

only if you have the equipment to do it. Namely the proper size drill, reamer ir adjustable boring bar. and then of course the clamping hardware to hold it Dead center for a proper concentric hole.

So in effect Mr. Jimmy on team XXX with No Lathe, Mill Tooling, or Indicator to even be able to center it on a drill press cant just bore it out

[Andrew Blair]

I think the idea is, for teams with a lathe, that you can just take standard cheap hex stock and turn it down to interface with standard round shaft/key setups, They probably designed it as such to save it from those ugly dead axle applications...

I saw these (and a number of other products) at Ramp Riot, but these were what I was the most interested in. I'm wondering when more varieties (different diameter and tread sizes) will show up!

Thanks for all of the input everyone.

We will decide this coming week if there will be variations. Here are the options we are considering:

8" Performance Wheel w/ 1/2" hex hole
6" Performance Wheel w/ 1.1245" bore for 1/2" id bearings (one on each side)
8" Performance Wheel w/ 1.1245" bore for 1/2" id bearings (one on each side)

These would be a MAYBE at this point. Providing an appropriate amount of intentory on all of these parts is our biggest challenge.
