Personal Project: Quad Speed Skates

A removable hub Quad Speed Wheel concept based on a large Diameter Indoor Configuration

A Carbon Fiber based NTS plate popular Down Under.

A second concept with forged cast "hangers" or trucks with a carbon spine.
Clip axle quick release is the only option!


SPEEDSKATING on QUADS


In Littleton Colorado in the early 80's I was an avid speed skater racing on a team throughout the Midwest region. I love to skate and when the Rollerblade was introduced it decimated the "Quad" skate market, and innovation etc. shrunk. Currently there is a resurge in Quad Speed , so I experimeted with a few designs based upon some of the best stuff from the past.


Cheers, THOM


P.S. Anyone interested in quad speed equipment I linked the Skatelog Forum in the title post, where you can always find great stuff.

    Michael,
    Thank you for your kind words!

    These are just my design concepts at the moment, however I am in process on some new designs for manufacture and distribution, so stay tuned.

    Cheers, THOM
