Frames used
Below only Seba equipment is stated at the moment
SEBA Deluxe
Seba Deluxe (v1 and v2) Black Frames Flat 165/180/195 mount is considered as one of the best frames on the market. It is stiffer, lighter and guarantees superior control, comfort, and outstanding power transfer. It is great for most demanding skating styles.
The secret of the Deluxe frame is the tubular cross-braces. Cross braces are typically the weakest point in a frame, and the demands of slalom and freestyle skating can often lead them to crack. In the Deluxe frame, after extrusion, the cross braces each have a hole drilled town the length to turn them into tubes. These tubes are much stronger than the standard cross brace, and provide the frame with excellent stiffness and durability. The short lengths available are ideal for slalom, freestyle and dance skating disciplines.
Used sizes:
273mm (90mm wheels), 243mm (80mm wheels) Mounting distances: 165mm, 180mm, and 195mm Weights: 190g / 6.06oz – one 243mm frame no axles Aluminium 6000 series frame, cnc machined
FR 300
The 300 Frame from FR comes in the well known design from SEBA. With its length of 232mm it offers a goof agility. It is milled out of a 7005 aluminum block and provides with its cut-outs a stylish look. Thanks to the hardness, it is extremely torsion-resistant and ensures optimum power transmission.
Used wheel size = 100mm length = 232mm Mounting = 150mm, 165mm and 180mm Aluminium 7000 series frame, cnc machined
Apps used
- Hauk for live gps tracking
- Opentracks for gps recording
