It would be awesome for the Swan to have a slider plate guard option like what comes with the UFS setup. Would LOVE to have that ! 🎉

The frame lock is slick. Traxxas uses a similar slot fill technique for tightening their motors. They have a plastic filler with holes for different gear sizes, but the main slot is long and metal.

Wow those fram locks complement the frame so well . Genius absolutely 100%

[@Rollerbalder]

In hindsight, it's kind of crazy it took this long for someone to make something like the frame lock. The new frames look great and I love your skating, Nicholas!

[@endlessblading]

I had the same thought as I was designing and testing them.

Swan reminds me of my FE ego frame. If u want most stable hardcore 243 mm 4 x 80 frame, there is nothing like flying eagle's ego frame on the market. That thing built like a tank. Shame they don't market that much about this gem.

When comparing the Swan to the Endless 80 using an 84mm wheel, which frame would come closest to the boot when measuring at the 2nd wheel?

Great show guys! I bet you after all this time you couldn’t wait to unveil the Swan frame. You kept it very tight lipped that’s for sure!

[@endlessblading]

Thanks! My previous career in the aerospace industry taught me how to keep secrets for long term projects. 😎 It’s all about hiding things in plain sight.

With new wheels 90/84/84/90, would anyone be able to tell me what would the effective rocker height be? 2mm? 1mm?

[@boonsfrc]

I love the color very classy

[@boonsfrc]

This is exactly what I need im a 400+ lbs skater and i need this because my mounts do move a little

[@boonsfrc]

I have a size 13 what would be best for me

[@9jhlikesmusic9]

Nice podcast! Is it possible to use the frame locks on UFS wizard type frames? If not, is there any possibility of making a frame lock for UFS? :)

[@endlessblading]

Thanks for watching. I'm not sure that really makes sense since the UFS mount is designed for no adjustment, so it typically has no slop.
