- >Wheels had dramatic shift in properties with temperature.
-
- Yes, see glass transition stage in plastics.

- >sheilded vs unshielded bearings...
-
- I am skating with a set of swiss bones bearings (I could find the box and get a
- model number if you really want..). The bearings only have a partial shield on
- one side and generaly are a pain. I have to overhall them way to often. I
- would not recomend unshielded bearing from my experiences.

- >how can you have a hardness greater than 100?
-
- For that matter, how can you have an octane greater than 100. Octane is
- suppose to be the way a gas mixture burns compared to an ideal fuel. The trick
- probibly is something like the gas burns even smother than the control fuel or
- the wheel is even harder than the control material. Just a guess.
