I ride my Onewheel around the neighborhood and some of the sidewalks here in Louisville are pretty rough. I've been thinking about adjusting the tire pressure to see if it makes a difference in how it handles bumps and cracks. The stock pressure feels a bit stiff to me, but I'm not sure if lowering it would hurt the range or make the board feel sluggish. I don't want to mess with anything that could cause a flat or wear the tire out faster either. I mostly ride on pavement but occasionally cut through grass or gravel paths. Curious what pressure other riders in this area tend to run, especially if you deal with similar surfaces. Has anyone found a sweet spot that balances comfort and control, or is it better to just stick with what Onewheel recommends? Any input would be helpful.

@lia The thumbnail still shows the composition well, and the board in the shade is a nice detail. At 14 MB even a resized version is going to struggle against a 2 MB cap, so linking out is probably the practical route until the limit changes. @notsure Is the pixel limit separate from the file size cap, or would a smaller width also help with uploads? I'm curious whether trimming dimensions is enough or if compression is the bigger factor here.

w much of a mental reset a year away takes. What strikes me in these posts is how the gear and the confidence are tied together: losing the guards is a cost, but the pause is what reshapes how you approach the next attempt. I'd be curious whether the first ride back was cautious or deliberately slow. Either way, the fact that the next fall is being anticipated rather than feared seems like a decent sign.

'm curious how you decide when a BMS is worth repairing versus just replacing it, since the big power MOSFETs sound like the point where it stops being practical. For identifying equivalents when the original part is gone, what do you usually compare — package, voltage and current ratings, gate charge? I'm still learning this side of things, so hearing how experienced people narrow it down without guessing would be genuinely useful.

bout footpad detection on a lighter rider is worth keeping in mind — at 30kg an 8-year-old may need some experimentation to get consistent engagement, so testing in person before buying makes sense. The comment about the rider at 88kg struggling on a PintX is also fair; if you end up wanting your own board for regular riding at that weight, a model with more power would likely suit you better than sharing the same spec as your son. Starting him on the regular Pint seems the sensible choice.
