Can you imagine being the person that got paid to take this bad boy on the road for 10,000 miles? That's nearly once around the world. MFer probably took this chair from Alaska to Chile along the Pacific Coast.

Probably ran the casters on a conveyor belt/treadmill for whatever length of time.

At a speed of 3.5 mph, youd only have to run the treadmill for about 12 days to get 10,000 miles. There are testing facilities that you can hire for this.

Or its all made up.

9,000 miles further than I'd walk just to be the man who walks a thousand miles to fall down at your door.

Every breath you take, every move you make, every bond you break, every step you take, I'll be watching you.

I always feel like somebody's watching me. And I have no privacy.

I can’t believe they missed the opportunity to say it’s “Wheel Engineered”

And it shall be called "Sproing" and will glow when orcs are near, or when elven ears can detect the musical stylings of "Jump Around" by House of Pain

Everything would be orange and sticky and there would be wonderment about the mystery of how springs work. Probably.

Well in the picture it shines, being made of metal and all (and being a rendering it looks extra shiny) , and since they have to paint it anyway for corrosion protection it may end up actually looking like that if they go with blue. In reality I kinda doubt they would choose blue, since black and transparent paint would give a more office approved look.

It shines bright like a diamond.

Which is to say, it doesn't glow at all, but merely reflects light.

Never buy luggage with anything less than 50000 tested wheel miles. You never know if it might fall out the back of a truck and get dragged several thousand miles to your destination.

Oh look at Mr. 2D paper here, while we have to deal with all the thickness of 3D.

I can't wait to go across the country in my office chair.

that's like, 500% wheelier than the industry leading wheel

Okay, but for real the spring suspension could be great for a rolling cart or something in my garage for jumping over extension cords or standing mats.

10

You think they'd say something like "wheel reinvented" if it weren't truly revolutionary, pun intended?

We had a baby stroller with similar wheels, they where indeed great. You could turn and push the thing with one finger.

Dozens on Amazon, most chair wheels are interchangeable. Just pull one off and measure the top post.

This is the new Apple wheel.

"Technology we made and perfected! The roundest wheel we've ever made. The most advanced rolling technology the world has ever seen."

i mean, it's giving me some ideas how to add functional suspension to my bike, but other than that

This reminds me I need to buy different casters for my chair.

The current ones are very nice, but my floor is uneven enough I keep popping wheels off and having to push them back on.

I have some with rollerblade wheels in them, they roll smoothly even over tile.

I was just about to say that, they are so good!

Didn't even know something like that existed until someone here mentioned it.
