School me on the Labeda Sensor Frame

[Datsyukiandeek 0]

Actually thinking about picking a set up but im not too sure. Is it really a 80-80-72-76 setup? If thats the case, it makes no sense to me.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It was done to give skaters a lower center of gravity (like a hilo) but do so without infringing on mission's patent.

76 up front to eliminate wheel slippage experienced with 80-80-72-72 setups on hard starts.

I've yet to meet someone who hasn't been happy with their Sensors.

They're great frames, really light. It's a pain in the ass to buy wheels for them though.

I still don't understand the benefit of 80-80-72-76. Rather go with Vangaurd or stick with my Sprungs.

The rear two would have given speed, the front would have eliminated the slippage like davezilla mentioned. I believe the 72mm was to allow better manuerability for the skater.

I've got a pair I'm trying to get rid of... pm me if you interested.

They are a teriffic frame. I've been skating in them for years. I have a few mediums and smalls that I would be willing to part with. Would consider trades for sprungs.

The Sensor was built prior to Mission owning the Hi-Lo patent. We introduced the Hi-Lo to Mission in the first place.

The Sensor was built on the same premise as the Hi-Lo in that the frame would be lowered to the floor as low as possible while maintaining 72mm wheels in front while the two rear wheels which have more clearance area would be boosted to 80mm maintaining roll allowing for max maneuverability without speed loss.

After the design of the Hi-Lo we realized we could add a 76mm toe wheel without raising the chassis. Therefore allowing the same principle of the original Hi-Lo with a larger toe wheel maximizing pushoffs and toe slip. You do not realize the amount of toe slip you deal with or how much stronger your takeoffs are with a larger toe wheel until you use it.

This is were the evolution and design of the Hummer continues with our hockey chassis theory. The added 80mm toe wheel increases and maximizes grip to its fullest potential and the second wheel spot that controlled skate height and maneuverability was swamped with an 80mm increassing overall roll and by recessing it into the sole of the boot we were able to maintain the maneuverability.

I hope this clears things up!
