  I ride a Onewheel around Louisville, and the colder months are killing my mileage. I'm not great at cold-weather gear and my balance work drops off when I'm not riding regularly. I've been looking at a walking pad treadmill as something low-impact I can use indoors during winter to keep my legs and stabilizer muscles active. One thing I'm uncertain about: a walking pad has no handrails, and I'm used to relying on my feet and balance from riding. Does a treadmill without rails feel unstable or take getting used to, especially for someone using it mostly for light walking? Also curious whether the low profile under-desk style is actually practical for daily use or if it's more of an occasional thing. I'd rather hear from people who use one regularly than guess. Anyone here use a walking pad alongside their riding to stay active in the off-season? Any input appreciated.

  @puzz360 Man driving 2500mi is no small feat! But well worth it if you guys got to some extra places like lake Balaton. Weather this year was super hot there all summer.. bouncing between 30C and 45C.. so no wonder the water temperature felt like in a thermal bath 😂

  On that note I really want to drive down with my onewheel and go around Budapest on all the routes/trails where I used to mountain bike. One day!

  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.

  Mouser will be your best friend. This forum will be your best friend. It has parts, the bootup sequence and flow, and breaks down microchip and battery chip and where to source them.

  When you get into the weeds, make sure you have a inline fuse because i have fried to esc due to shorts. I had one where it was a xt60 with a fuse between it just incase. The bms really does not have a known failure on paticular parts ( im on a og pint, they are tanks) and i just opted to buy a broken bms from a local seller as a donor for parts. On pint or xrbms its really easy to knock a cermaic cpacitor (the little things around the big bms chip in the middle). Ive onlt worked on pints a xr so cant say anything on the gt and up. Rest is really trial and error.

  Look around and see if someone's already figured it out, otherwise feel free to ask for help.

  @lemur appriciate the looking out. I hit a wall this week with the microchips. They are from 2.0.7 revision so im guessing the chips are locked out from erasing. They pass and write properly according to mplab. Tired 3 i had around and all three lied about success. Im gonna have to replace the 1788 with a new blank one. Orderd them yesterday and will update when everything comes in. My board is on 4212 and already have a owie inline so the only issue is the fw.

  It ain't much but it's something.
  These are taking a while to add since there are so many cool pics that I'm barely into topic 105 >.>

  https://archive.owforum.co.uk/gallery/

  Capture.PNG

  The gallery itself is mostly comprised of code by Tim Wells who I've added credit for in a comment in the HTML. Probs not needed but I like to give credit where it's due.

  Before I add more I need to:

  Change how the images align so it's hozizontally instead of vertical. Then I can attempt to lazyload anything in an <img> tag so it only tries once you're bringing it on screen. If I don't fix the alignment order it'll need to load everything before actually figuring out the order which would be bad for performance. Add an auto scroll to drag the archive page a little down because posts are loading from the top rather than from the base of the banner leading to posts clipping off screen. Add the rest of the images slowly. Maybe add breaks between years or something. Tweak the hover animation. Although a fun effect grey scaling the images when not hovered just makes the page bland. Adjust the header colours or make a revised logo instead.

  Each image thanks to the recent post tagging work @biell put in links to the image from the thread it was taken which is a neat feature :)

  So far I just have the 3 rules for getting in the gallery.

  No screenshots Images must be of okay quality Images with kids won't be added.

  Should also work on mobile, spent some time tweaking the page so when scaled on that sort of screen it looks okay.

  Edit 1:

  Made a bunch of changes... omg why did I choose to build the site manually!
  Capture.PNG

  First up I've gone for a basic grid that crops in the images to fit a pre-defined space and only scrolls vertically instead of the prior solution that was incredibly clunky after spending 2 days getting it working >.>

  Next up I changed the logo and moved the description into the footer.

  Another change was to make the images not all load at once. Now they only load when you scroll to them. However they don't unload so I need to figure out how to do that else I doubt most will get very far before you inevitably run out of ram.

  Hovering over an image displays the original uploader and the date/time. I manually enter these as with the rest of the image link and post link so it takes a while to add these. As such I might be a bit more strict with what gets added.

  And yes, mobile is usable :)

  Edit 2:

  After some research Lazy load isn't ideal at all. I'll probably have to manually make thumbnails for each of these instead to lower the page size and up performance >.>

  Would be simpler if I wasn't pulling them from the archive and jut had a singular directory with them all in but then cross-referencing them would be a nuisance. Slow simple solution is better than a slow complex one ;)

  Just a heads up. I'm in the process of planning a large upgrade to the forum to bring it in line with the latest major release. Should run a little better and come with a few new features.

  I'm going to run an upgrade to the latest release on a sandboxed offline copy of the forum so I can test it out first and make sure nothing too drastic changes that may cause confusion.

  If all goes well I'll be taking another backup and scheduling in the upgrade with some prior warning in case I need a bit more downtime than expected.
