Are Cloudwheel Galaxy Wheels Special? Galaxy Pro First Ride

[@mrgee918]

So basically a good boosted 105mm for abec crew. Got it!😆 Would be good to get a duro measurement to see how they compare with the other 105s out there. Keep up the good work, brother.

[@RBEMotion]

Yeah, they're a bit harder than the mad105 though. Check out the full review video I recently posted, there's duro measurements there.

*Nice review,* love the high top Vans. ⚡🤙🏼🤙🏼⚡ The rollin resistance/drag is the most noticeable con of these types. of wheels. When you let off the throttle or brake uphill you do feel it more than other wheels, slows down a Lot quicker. Great carvin in this one dude 🤙🏼 I only like wheels over 90mm on DKP drop-through since they ride so low and I have clearance issues over bumps and motor mounts gettin trashed lol. Boa's newer 74a 90mm are pretty good, similar to 77a 85mm blue cags but seems more chunk-resistant than the blue cags.

[@RBEMotion]

Yeah I don't really notice higher rolling resistance on these or madwheels. Definitely on Onsra 115's though.

The vibration is what i don't like, i never noticed the noise and that won't bother me. The vibration is noticeable on low speed mostly and you are right about the Dad Bods and the tracking thing. I experienced it with them on the Velar and since i swapped to the Rovers 110R, it's been perfect.

[@RBEMotion]

Yeah that was quite interesting that I didn't notice any vibration either. Personally I don't mind it at all but it doesn heavily depend on what deck you're riding - some propogate them through more than others.

The shiny coating is probably a mold release, like they use on fiberglass molds. It would be needed if they use a two piece mold, which I suspect they do to create the grooves. Check for a seam inside the grooves

Nice review. My daughter also has an Envy NLS3. She really wants these due to the colors available. Do you mind saying which 40t pulley and belt you are using on your Envy? Is it the 604-A5 kit on the Cloudwheel website? Thanks.

[@RBEMotion]

Thanks! Yeah, it's the kit that's made for the Meepo Envy on the cloudwheel site.

[@Esk8ologist]

I ride 90mm wheels most of the time, but today I tried my cloudwheel Galaxy, nice grip, feels good n comfortable, but not sure about the range ✌️

[@RBEMotion]

Yeah it will be interesting to see how the range does for these wheels. I think they will do quite well.

You have the lowest opinion of its shock absorption out of anyone by far. Vapor traol channel is a whiney old geezer who only rides AT wheels and he loves them. These are on a similar level to cloudwheels for shock absorption. Some people say they are better. If you try riding on a gravel road or dirt with stock wheels you won't do so hot with those you can manage

[@RBEMotion]

Lol maybe they are pretty good compared to normal urethane but they are not nearly as good as madwheels. The urethane is several durometer points harder, I measured it. They are definitely much better than boas I'll say that much These are definitely less absorbent than normal Cloudwheels, but have more grip

[@michaelwagner6410]

@@RBEMotion you are right. These aren't 72a and it pisses me off that Cloudwheelz advertised it as that. One thing better about the Galaxys is the tread. I was mid carve fully extended and hit a big pebble, the treads launched it out and I retained grip instantly. So I love the treads but I have a lot of bad roads and these aren't for bad roads even though they are advertised for it. At least I won't totally hate my life while waiting for my next set. So just how much better are the Madz over the Galaxys with impact absorption on the 1 to 10 scale? If it's close I'm getting the discovery FE because the FE has better absorption than the Galaxy. But if the Madz are way better with impacts I'm getting those because that would mean they are neck and neck with the FEe and damping. But with more grip. I was considering the rovers 110 or onsra 115 but it's going to decimate my already shitty range on my 3e. I am considering buying a second battery to keep on me. Also the treads on the rovers only last 300 to 500 miles. What do you recommend the v2's? FEs? Or a second battery and some rovers or onsras

[@michaelwagner6410]

@@RBEMotion also my 3e comes stock with those risers with the bump guard on each side so it's got a lot of clearance. I'm considering getting the 120 FE now with a 45T pulley. I just don't feel confident going over bumps in the street at 25 to 30 mph with 105s. I only have 170 miles experience(10 days I achieved that) so I need some extra stability.
