The Heated Wheel
« on: January 11, 2023, 05:26:17 PM »
Thought it could be useful to have a dedicated zone to discuss all things THW, collect new catalogs etc.

The Polarizer thread is great, but doesn’t really pertain to all their popsicle and shaped offerings, and the brand itself has dropped so many new graphics, consistently, along with really interesting shapes… just felt like it deserved its own thread.

My only gripe is I wish they would list wheelbase for all the popsicle boards on the site.  Other vendors have a variety of WB listings for the same board, so it would be nice to see that confirmed officially.

I’m a big fan of their stuff, I currently have a polarizer, pop and shaped deck in the quiver and a few more on ice.  I’m loving the slick.   

Not to hijack or change the topic of the thread, but in addition to WB I wish more manus and online shops would also list nose and tail lengths.  I find myself going to the Tactics site before buying, say, a Black Label deck.  It seems most only list wheelbase and I find that very annoying.

I'll probably get a heated wheel deck next time i buy one. The graphics are sweet, it even makes me want to get rails just to save the graphic

Yes, good point.  I get that they wanna keep the page clean and simple but maybe a little “full dimensions” link could spell out all the details in a pop-up?

They use generic BBS shapes should be easy to find the dims.

There’s a pop wheel that will provide a discount code.  Or try “thankyou20”

Is the 9.25 shape (Frontier, Yuma, etc) offered by any other companies?   It’s bbs wood so I guess I’m just curious whether the same shape is used by other companies or it’s unique to Heated Wheel. 

Kind of in love with it, and since every drop sells out I’m also a little worried I won’t be able to find more of them.

Site says they’re a custom shape but I’d love to know too.

Also would be curious to see what the standard popsicle BBS dims THW use are if anyone has access to those!

Dimensions are listed on two shops in AU that I have seen, but if anyone wants specific info I can post it here for you for each board size or shape too.


From the Woodshop thread:


Two shops I know that also list dimensions have quite a few of their boards:


https://www.ocdskateshop.com.au/collections/the-heated-wheel-1


https://www.basementskate.com.au/brands/the-heated-wheel/


Basement skate has the dimensions in the specs tab of each listing, in case it doesn't show up easily.

Eg

Width (inches)    8.25
Length (inches)    31.75
Wheelbase (inches)    14.25



Width (inches)    8.38
Length (inches)    32
Wheelbase (inches)    14.25



Width (inches)    8.5
Length (inches)    32
Wheelbase (inches)    14.375



Width (inches)    8.75
Length (inches)    32.375
Wheelbase (inches)    14.375


They were all normal popsicles at least.

I talk too much about skateboards.  Sorry.

This is awesome.  One outlier I saw is the 9.0 MIG-

It specs it out at 8.75, 14.5 WB, 32.5… a typo or just the way they measure with the concave?

I like all the longer 14.5+ wheelbases so I am personally bummed less are available now, but maybe the marketplace has dictated this change

I did notice that too, so just didn't put it in.

OCD does have the basic popsicle as well, as below:


https://www.ocdskateshop.com.au/products/the-heated-wheel-grasshopper-team-9-0-skateboard-deck


WIDTH
9.0
LENGTH
32.75
WHEEL BASE
14.5


I would say that other board is the 9.0 and they just put the width in as 8.75 by mistake.


Also I think more than anything, it took a while for their stuff to get here to AU, so when I went looking before, no one really had it, but now a lot more shops have it so someone brought in a lot of it here.

I talk too much about skateboards.  Sorry.

Very interesting, I also noticed this team graphic in 8.75 is already available on OCD… I’ve only seen the team riding samples on ig.  Maybe it’s part of this upcoming drop?

I have a 9” MiG 3 pop that I bought a couple weeks ago during the sale.

I just measured it.  WB is 14.5, N is 7.5 and T is 7.25.  Length is 32.5.

Thanks!  Wish they still had the 8.5 in that WB.  But I guess Black Label has that size if I need it

The 8.5 x 32.4ish with 14.5 wb is pretty common, with a lot of brands using that size for their boards, even if they are not listed as more than 32 even.

That is my secondary main go to, which I always have a few setup, but I am enjoying the 8.38 x 32.25 with 14.5 wb for the most part, of which I have too many setup up but they work well with different wheels depending on what or where I am skating.


Sorry if I already asked or you said, but where are you - country or continent?

There are a few of that size in AU right now for pretty cheap, which I always keep my eye on.

Yes, it’s a really solid all around board!

Thank you so much, I’m in the US - west coast - I really appreciate it

FYI--The Heated Wheel trucks are back in stock and it looks like there are new Polarizer graphics on pre-drilled decks.

I kind of liked drilling mine and playing with SG truck placement, but this will definitely speed up the process for those looking to just grip it and rip it.
