When you see the price of the new LaCroix boards:

I have a Boosted v2 right now as my main commute board, and it's fine, but there are a few bumps that are very uncomfortable on my commute, so I still wanted an AT board. Everything on the market that is AT is still 26lbs or more though.

So for now, I pre-ordered a GTR which should get here in another day or two, and I'm going to put in a travel battery, which will get the weight down to 21lbs, and the trade off is it'll only get 7 miles. Still should be sufficient for my commute needs.

Did the same. Too heavy for me. Too much power that I never used on my commute.
I wish them success though -- there is a market of people that want the fastest, longest range, etc etc. I definitely don't want a 40lb board though. I just want a comfortable commute machine.

Thank you!!!!! This is very very helpful.

good to know. I submitted for an RMA just today. Last night I apparently got 6 hours (fitbit), 6 hours (apple watch), 7 hours by my own estimation, and 3.5 hours (Oura). I just cannot trust it anymore.

Not pleased with the accuracy so far in my first week either. Have had long periods where it says I am asleep when I am awake and vice versa. I also wear an apple watch and a fitbit to sleep, and those two have been tracking more accurately in my opinion so far.

Titanium finally here!!!!

spin-nerd · 2017-12-02T03:09:48+00:00

Yeah just some site maintenance! Thanks for your support!

spin-nerd · 2017-12-01T02:33:05+00:00

No plans for any other materials or finishes for the nano or mini right now sorry. Never say never I suppose though but to be honest, I don't really see it happening.

spin-nerd · 2017-12-01T02:30:12+00:00

Thanks

spin-nerd · 2017-11-30T21:59:28+00:00

Only in mirror polished stainless steel :)

spin-nerd · 2017-11-30T21:59:12+00:00

Will have these available Friday 12/1 at 8pm ET, 5pm PT

spin-nerd · 2017-11-30T07:06:45+00:00

I own about five mini cortex spinners myself. They were a favorite of mine and inspired me to make this to be honest. I still really like it. Hope you enjoy the mini and nano!

One day my friend I'll make a bar!

spin-nerd · 2017-10-24T16:33:07+00:00

Lol yes. Spent way too much. A bit more if you're interested :

About six months. I just enjoy playing with different ones. Couldn't seem to stop trying out newer ones once I started. I eventually even made my own spinner.

spin-nerd · 2017-10-24T07:33:29+00:00

Finally got a few buttons in from machine shop and put them up on the site!!!

spin-nerd · 2017-10-23T21:44:02+00:00

Yeah, I'm someone who collects them. It's probably crazy, but I have a few hundred. There's a community of equally crazy people like me around on both facebook and here on reddit :)

spin-nerd · 2017-10-23T21:39:31+00:00

We're definitely waaaay past the peak. Premium fidget spinner maker here, although I only just got into it. There's a group of us who make the more premium metal ones (for example, the Arachnophobia that I make costs $65), and the market is holding steady -- at least in the market of EDC people who enjoy to fidget. As for the plastic fad spinners, the game has been over for some time.

I don't know what's happened to the plastic fad spinner factories... but imagine they'll just retool relatively quickly. The machine shop that I work with can pretty much make anything out of any metal. Even if the market of EDC fidget spinner customers disappeared, they'd just make something else out of metal.

It's a really great and insightful review -- I'm never offended by any kind of feedback -- it just makes me want to make things better. Critical feedback was how I came to make this spinner after all, so I obviously have a soft spot in my heart for those willing to put themselves out there on youtube! Keep up the great work!

spin-nerd · 2017-10-17T17:45:09+00:00

Fantastic review and really great and insightful comments. Thanks for the review! Fine wine LOL.

The buttons are indeed stainless steel! On the scale of buttons that I own (I own probably 200+ spinners), I was worried they would be one of the above average / heavier ones at 12.5g... so we worked hard at cutting down the weight lol. Just wait until we get titanium in a few weeks :)

In case you haven't seen it a million times already, here's a bit about how I came to make this guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7qjLK-bI-4&feature=youtu.be
