@lia -- Great line-up! -- And a nice variety of tires, too.

I come from labour working class where not much of wealth is inherited and plenty of alike slowly diminish their few existing goals and blurry their dreams with other habits. So... close people and some of not-so-close but yet seen me growing within past 20-30yrs are like: What? .. okay .. at least he's not drinking, smoking and burning life.

My hyper-active local sports legend 77y mother is rather cool about it - she knows I've always been into "unordinary" tech stuff.

I got tons of colleagues and .. idk how .. I've not necessarily tried to keep it as a secret nor avoid contacts while on OW, but somehow I've managed to hold a low profile about it. Some few know by randomly bumping into (and were astounded, obviously) but the real blabbermouths likely have no idea. The thrill would be real at some. As commuting to work on 4-wheels is my occupational unavoidable routine, I'm liking this unawareness till it lasts. But this is only my second season on XR.

Out of all forum members here I might(?) be at the easternmost point [The Baltics]. Don't know. But you guys can imagine - there's no way you could go for ~1h ride here without feeling inquiring looks or hearing comments at any age group. Probably we have less onewheels than any state of US. Registrated, organized grouprides are not happening around here. :)

@wheelngear neat!

Soooo turns out riding fenderless over a bunch of pine needles is far less than desirable. So much so, I broke and picked up a full fender. With a little modification it fits the FAF rails. Just have to get used to the noise again... I forgot how loud they are.

@puzz360 yep, I've had that happen before

I don't like carrying around umbrellas since I find them to be a hassle to carry, and I often end up just throwing on rain gear and calling it a day.

@rahan12 said in Connecting two XR chargers in parallel to emulate a Hypercharger ?:

Hi guys, I searched the forum and the web but couldn't find an answer.
Wouldn't it be possible to plug two XR stock chargers and connect them in parallel with an XLR Splitter Cable (1 female to 2 male XLR) so as to have one female XLR that outputs 6A at 63V ?
Wouldn't that be the same as what the Chibattery Fast charger provides ?

Just as something to use every now and then when a fast charge is really required, not on a regular basis.

It's been done. A company named two-x.com used to sell a 2 into 1 XLR combiner for the onewheel plus and V1 called a "charge-x" cable. I owned two of them. You needed two V1/Plus chargers plugged into the charge-x and the output was plugged into board. Info can be found on their website in the FAQ section, then search for the charge-x questions/answers.

@zatrkrisp Sixty?!

I just started daily Stoke Reports as stories on Instagram. Kinda like a weather report. And a horoscope. Go have a look?

@notsure huge condolences. what a pretty kitty. :' (

@Lia said :

... I'm sure some of us remember how boring it was on the old forum to see "Recent" filled with links to boards on eBay.

Spoiler

Oh, yes! Definitely remember. Was that an AI? Ugh..
Back then I figured it is "board-less onewheel ethusiast" sincerely looking out for all of those aftermarket options and stubbornly sharing it with the rest of community since the loads of eBay offers didn't match to its preferred location etc.

Good job, Lia!

@lia thanks! It was literaly done with machines acrylic, printer paper and 3M adhesive. The printer paper works pretty well, actually!

@ando also just broke c11 capacitor while pulling out massive plug

@lemur not to bring a sub back from the dead, but you know where i can find the xr bms files. I had a old xr bns i pulled the hex from with no lock but it got messed up somewhere. I have a brand new pint bms and when i try to push the hex the ow does nothing, does not turn on, no light, nothing. Im guessing the hex is bad because the old error was the board wouldnt turn off....guess i found the root issue. If you could point me in the right direction i would be greatful since i cant ride if no power lol.

@puzz360 Aha right? Do like a good challenge.
Makes me confident I can do the same to my old XR that is bound to be in no better condition 😅

The XR/Plus stators I ordered from Josh Haley came in today looking good. Now to squirrel them away until I need them.

@onedangt That's pretty much it in a nutshell. I try to stay on too well beyond the point of no return lol.

I don't have any photos for my or my costume
I will try next year, but this semester has honestly been draining the life out of me, and I didn't get any time to prepare for halloween or even dress up sadly.

@sirgu I wanted a few in case I lost some and a bit of variety in case I changed my mind on a vibe. Also @cheppy44 wanted some Orange ones so I got a bunch of others too ^-^

The point about the controller being collateral damage is what gets me. Losing the wrist guards is one thing, but a controller going down with you means the whole ride ends early no matter how you land. That year off sounds like the hard part, though. Coming back after that long is its own kind of hurdle — muscle memory and confidence don't return at the same speed. Hope the next fall, whenever it comes, is a gentler one.
