The Endless 80 frame is a high quality frame for multiple wheel set-ups and with a balanced rocker.
The founder of the company Endless invented the Endless 80 frame especially for the
freeride skates of FR and Seba
. These skates have a 165 mm mounting with raised heel. The Endless 80 frame fits on all skates that use this mounting. That's why the Endless 80 frame fits on the freeride skates of Flying Eagle, Rollerblade, Micro too.
Those who need a Trinity mounting, can look at the
Endless 84 Trinity Frame.
Most rockered frames are designed with slalom in mind, for instance the
FR Deluxe V3 rockered frame that has a 2 mm banana wheel set-up. For slalom you also really need that. The so called
balanced rocker
of the Endless 80 frame has less rocker. It is designed with freeride in mind.
Keep in mind that there is a (balanced) rocker only in the 4-wheel set-ups. The 3-wheel set-up is flat.
You can use the frame for 3 different wheel set-ups:
- 4 x 80mm (well, read below)
- 4 x 84mm
- 3 x 100mm
(in the product specifications we write that the max. wheel diameter is 84 mm, but that is in the 4-wheel set-up)
The package includes a pair of frames and 8 axles (but no spacers).
Most people do not use a brake on an Endless 80 frame, but if you feel that you need a brake in one or all wheel set-ups, you should choose the
Powerslide Urban brake.
The compatibility between the brake size and the wheel set-up of the Endless 80 frame is as follows:
Strengths:
- Contrary to other multiple set-ups frames (of other brands) the ride height of the 4-wheel set-up has not been compromised to make a 3-wheel set-up possible. There is only 1 mm space between the front frame bolt and the second wheel in a 4x84 set-up (as it should be).
- The balanced rocker 4-wheel set-up is ideal for freeriding.
- Because of the use of the strongest aluminium the frame is very responsive.
Weaknesses:
- Even with excellent frames we do not have any problem to find some weaknesses: we are simply raising our standards in that case. 😁
For instance some people find it aesthetically disturbing that there are axle holes visible of the not-used wheel set-up.
- The 3x100 setup will work only with bullet profile wheels, not with full profile wheels.
- We are a little disturbed by the fact that the factory communication talks about 3 set-ups while in reality there are only 2. Because, of course, in every 4x84mm set-up 4 wheels of 80mm fit.
Some more technical specifications:
- Wheelbase: 255 mm
- CNC-machined from 6061-T6 aluminum
- Weight = 258 grams, without spacers and axles
The official name of the colour variation "black white" is "camo".
