Polar Shapes

[rikki]

Certain Polar shape dims are consistently off.

I have an 8.25 where the sticker (and their website) says the wb is 14.125 but it's actually a 14.25.
Also, the 8.38 I've got should have a 14.5 wb but it's 14.38 in reality.

No biggies, but yeah, seems like these kind of discrepancies are consistent with some of their shapes akin to e.g. certain DLX BBS shapes.

have they stopped making wheel wells?

I feel like they used to be everywhere with lots of choices and now it's slim pickens.

My WW backstock is drying up so I e-m'd 'em like a may-un, specifically about the 1991 shape. Customer service said they weren't sure if it would be in the next drop but typically there is at least 1 wheel well offering, check back in late Jan/mid Feb.

8.5 axles should be closest to flush

i bought a grip of those 14-14.125 short wheelbase 8.25s from their sale too and they were all wrong. traded them all to a friend. width discrepancy doesnt bother me but wb difference can get annoying if its up 0.25 from whats advertised.

Yeah I think you're spot on.

Now thunder or indy... Hmm 🧐🤔

I'm so close to making a new complete for the novelty.

Anyone got real life dimensions on the Polar Eyeball shape? Looks like a nice shape. Width over trucks, tail, nose, wheelbase? Knowing that Polar dimensions are often quite off, I can't trust what they state. Local shops don't have this, so I'd have to order or wait for a new drop and hope the local shops would get one.

Speaking of, anyone know when the new drop is and if they'll have the Eyeball shape in there? Could easily wait for a new drop also as I'm injured currently, so there's no rush buying it now. Could possibly even have a nicer graphic, or much worse. Polar seem to have both.

iirc, the dims are 8.85, 31.75, and 14.125. Will have to check on tail, nose and width over the axles. Here is one though

Thanks. I’m in Finland, so we get the hardware drops later than in US. I’ll ask my local if they’ll get this new drop Eyeball. Graphics are just as fine for me as the BMX graphic. If you are able to post the measurements, that would be great. Was planning on pairing it with Ace AF1 55s.

Edit:
Found it on CCS based on the link you provided @timemachine. They say they measure by hand. This sounds pretty much exactly why I’m looking for:

8.85" Width x 31.75" Length
Wheelbase: 14.125"
Tail Length: 6.50"
Nose Length: 6.85"
Front Axle Width: 8.60"
Back Axle Width: 8.60"
Traditional Maple Construction
Every Board is Measured By Hand
