[RUMOR] ABEC11 closes down company - gone for good?

this is sad news indeed. Fortunately for me I have 2x spare sets which will probably out last my skating days anyway (perhaps part of the problem) but I feel for those who’ve yet to ride on 107s, and now may never get their hands on a fresh set once the existing stock is sold out :frowning:

Somebody wake up @psychotiller and see what he knows/can find out. I love my abecs.
Been riding on gumballs for years. Would definitely be disappointed to lose access to abec wheels.

if this is true I am heart broken, end of an era. there’s not another longboard products company that can compete with the innovations created by ABEC. :sob:

Not really enjoyable though see’ing other folks leave… We should just all play in the sandbox together. :sob:

Glad muirskate came back…!

Nordboard has some electric flywheels. They have pink to which I didn’t know existed.

From everything I know, this is not the end, the perfect storm that the parties are involved in will come to an end and they will survive, then thrive. I think @DavidBanner term “Phoenixing” is appropriate here.

This is the resolution I am hoping for!

Thanks @Alphamail for your insight!

I was going to say everyone might not miss the abec11 wheels but what about sixshooters aren’t they made there?

I make Sixshooters with my hands using Abec’s CNC mill. And I made them before I started using the mill there. There is no end in sight to the pneumatic torment I will cause.

That was a great idea.

They are out of stock. Nobody has Electric Flywheels in stock.
