Hi Ivo, very nice and informative video's you're making! One thing that came to mind; if you have a frame that is manufactured using CNC from a solid block / bar, the block/bar is initially also manufactured by the extrusion process. CNC milling a frame out of a big extruded aluminum bar may be slightly more rigid than extruding it directly in to its frame profile, however, I think this may be negligible. I think the biggest benefit of CNC is the design complexity and precision you can maintain. Seeing the fact that extruded frames are usually finished using CNC, and considering the waste of just using CNC milling to cut out the shape, I would say extruded frames are definitely the most bang for the buck.
As a slalom skater I have explored carbon frames... They have very accurate transfer, stiff, very light, in fact they would be perfect except for their one disadvantage (apart from cost), that they crack/snap, whereas aluminium flexes. Also my speed skating buddies who explore performance on similar principles to slalom gave me two confirmed cases of carbon frames cracking.
Hey Ivo! I'm looking for a 4X90 165mm mounting frame .. I couldn't find any Rollerblade ones on your website .. what manufacturing techniques the frame on the Rollerblade MAXXUM XT is made with? and which aluminum grade. Thanks for the informative videos!
Sadly there are not too many 4x90 165mm frames on the market right now. The maxxum frame is extrusion. the aluminium grade is probably 6061 but i am not sure

for sure!
thank you for such a aimed and organized knowledge in this short video 👍
It's quite technical, thanks for technological informations.
What about magnesium frames?

Sounds like the technology needs to further improve.
thanks for the insight!

What size is the hanging Imperial Basic 80 and how much is it? I like the red cuff.
It is a size 35-36

@@Thisissoul ok thanks, too small.
Hey buddy, can you say me which metal is used for making wizard and endless frames?
Its all made from aluminum
How much does an aggressive metal frame material affect vibration and shock absorbtion?
The material is harder, improves power and movement transfer. Therefore it should provide more feedback from the riding surface texture :)
would be interested in too! sometimes i think since skating solas its hurting my hips and back more, but could be wrong also..
