How to put a wheel on an Infinity or Vertigo truck
How to put a wheel on an Ultimate Truck
It was hard to ever imagine that TRAMPA's SUPERSTAR hub could ever be improved upon - but that's just what we’ve gone’n’done! The Super Sexy MEGASTAR Rims are a PRO version of the already amazing SUPERSTAR Rim!
CNC Milled from a solid block of T6 aluminium, polished, anodised (in 10 different colours!) & logo-ed up for a pimp appearance - all of the various MEGASTAR Rims we offer fit the regular SUPERSTAR SPOKES, so if you already use Superstars & fancy an upgrade, you’ll only need to purchase the Rims to make the swap.
MEGASTAR Hubs can handle the highest inflation pressures of any small wheel on the market. Increasing inflation rates ultimately increases maximum roll speeds, making these hubs the perfect option for the insane among us!
MEGASTAR Rims have extra threaded bolt holes for wheel balancing purposes - the extra holes allow you to screw in 2x extra M4x16mm Socket cap TORX Bolts directly opposite the valve - which in turn counter-balances, creating a smoother rotation & faster spin rate!
Megastars are available in a variety of sizes, with different spoke/bearing positioning for a number of different applications!
CENTER-SET Bearing position, which is a direct aluminium replacement of the original plastic-injection Superstar rim. Keeping the bearings centrally-located within the hub leaves the wheelbase unchanged, for a nimble feeling & riding board.
Megastar 8 CENTRE SET RIMS fit all 3.75x2 inch Rim Tyres & Regular Superstar / Skinny BB-Star Spokes.
OFF-SET Bearing position moves the wheels further from your feet - widening the boards wheelbase, which in turn increases stability - perfect for large people & small Boards. Initially created in conjunction with narrower Truck Models (12-Fifties & Mini Spring Trucks) in order to grant clearance for bigger tyres or rear-mounted battery boxes.
Megastar 8 OFF SET RIMS fit all 3.75x2 inch Rim Tyres & Regular Superstar / Skinny BB-Star Spokes.
Megastar 9 OFF SET RIMS fit all 3.75x2.5 inch Rim Tyres & Regular Superstar / Phat BB-Star Spokes.
DEEP-DISH Rims are as pimp as it gets! These elongated rims both widen the wheelbase of a board as well as the contact patch of the tyres - improving both stability & grip! While also granting extra clearance for fitting larger tyres or rear-mounted battery boxes.
Megastar 8 DEEP DISH RIMS fit all 3.75/4 x 2.5 inch Rim Tyres & Regular Superstar / Skinny BB-Star Spokes.
Megastar 9 DEEP DISH RIMS fit all 3.75/4 x 3 inch Rim Tyres & Regular Superstar / Skinny BB-Star Spokes.
The CENTER SET & OFF SET (3.75 x 2 Inch) MEGASTAR 8 HUBs fit ANY of the tyres in TRAMPA's range up to 8 inches in Diameter - including the 5 Inch Gummies tyres, 6.5 Inch URBAN Treads, 7 Inch Inline tyres & ANY 8 inch tyre option.
The DEEP DISH (3.75/4 x 2.5 Inch) MEGASTAR 8 HUB fits most tyres in TRAMPA's range up to 8 inches in Diameter, widening the tread & increasing the contact patch - including 6.5 Inch URBAN Treads, 7 Inch Inline Tyres & ANY 8 inch Tyre option.
The OFF SET & DEEP DISH (3.75/4 x 2.5/3 Inch) MEGASTAR 9 HUBs fit most of the tyres in the TRAMPA product Range up to 10 inches in Diameter, widening the tread & increasing the contact patch - including the 6.5 Inch URBAN Treads, 7 Inch Inline Tyres & ANY 8, 9 or 10 inch tyre options TRAMPA offers.
TRAMPA's REGULAR SUPERSTAR SPOKES are made from Extruded 6061 Aluminum (Super Strength Aero-grade quality) & comes in a range of colours to satisfy your taste.
TRAMPA’s new BB STAR Spokes are as lush as it gets - CNC’d from T6 Aluminium, available in two models - SKINNY (fits ALL MEGASTAR rims) or PHAT (fits OFF SET MEGASTAR 9 ONLY).
The MEGASTAR's hub construction is held together by using 5x Socket cap M4 x 40mm A4 (Marine Grade) Stainless Steel Nuts & Bolts that'll never rust on you!
Further pimp up your Megastar hubs with M4 Socket Cap spacers - anodised in 10 colours!
TRAMPA's MEGASTAR Hubs can be used in conjunction with any of the Pulleys that fit to SUPERSTAR hubs.
It's possible to fit any Bearing size TRAMPA offers into MEGASTAR Rims. As Standard the Superstar / Megastar spokes accept Mountainboard bearings for 12mm Axles - these bearings can be fitted with Reducer Sleeves that allow the hub to fit to 9.525mm Axles. If you use the Special Spoke Support Spacer into the assembly of the hub, you can fit to 8mm Longboard Axles - where hundreds of top quality bearing options are available to choose from.
TRAMPA SPOKES fit all SUPERSTAR & MEGASTAR Hubs. TRAMPA's Spokes are produced using the finest 6061 'Aero-Grade' Aluminum, which to maximise strength & performance are produced with the use of an Extrusion Die, which means TRAMPA spokes are made in one continuous piece before being sliced like bread to the required thickness. Before being sliced the extruded profile is T6 Heat Treated making the resulting Alloy extremely strong.
Once sliced the Raw Spokes are sent to the CNC machine to mill out the bearing housing perfectly. Before being anodised the spokes are bead polished which not only gives a top quality finish but also removes all & any sharp edges, then finally sent away to the Anodisers to have the relevant striking colours added for top surface protection.
Check your spoke support spacers, O-Rings and hardware are in good condition when changing spokes & ensure all of your nuts & bolts are tight before you ride!
Using TRAMPA's NEW & AMAZING 9 inch Deep-Dish MEGASTAR wheels, it is now possible to comfortably fit larger sized 9 inch wheels into the assembly any of the TRAMPA Belt Drives or Spur Gear Drives using 16 inch Mountain board Spring Trucks.
Using 9 inch wheels which have been CNC Precision Milled from two solid blocks, milled with an offset bearing position, will significantly widen your wheel base making the board feel more stable & planted, whilst the additional width of the tires (9 inch Mud-Pluggers are 2.5 Inches wide where as 8 inch tyres are just 2 inches wide) increases the surface contact with the ground & as you can tell from the name of the Tyre which pretty much describes what its capable of, the extra 1/2 inch of tyre & the aggressive directional grip results in absolute heaps of extra grip comparing to the smaller 8 inch tyres, especially when riding off road in mddy conditions.
The increased tyre profile size of the well gripped sidewall will not only give you more Grip but also loads of extra Comfort when rolling over rough stuff & the increase of overall wheel size going from 8 inch to 9 inch will give you a natural Geared increase in Top Speed by approx 5%, making the new MEGASTAR hubs a must have piece of equipment for all serious of road electric mountain board riders out there...
It is possible to fit the 9 inch MEGASTAR WHEELS to any of TRAMPA's 66 Tooth Belt Driven Slave Pullies or 58/59 Tooth Spur Gear Drive Pulleys that would usually fit to the 8 inch Superstar wheels, So if you're looking for the latest all round upgrade, then this is the one for you!
The downside to using 9 inch wheels is the increase in weight... with all the increase in size they are bound to weigh more than the smaller wheels & rubber can weigh a lot... so to gain the extra grip that we talk about without adding to much extra weight we suggest that you only need to fit 2x of the 9 inch wheels on the rear drive wheels giving you the grip without all the weight of 4x wheels, so you only need just 2x 9 inch wheels to gain the extra Grip, speed & Comfort without too much extra weight... You might be thinking, what 8 inch on the front and 9 inch on the back.... yep thats right guys.... You might be thinking but then its higher one end than the other, Yep, thats right.... the extra height at the rear almost forces you int a more aggressive stance, positioning you ready to take the huge forces in the acceleration... the stance is nice, the tyres are amazing.....!!!
