Get my Funwheel fully built but that'll hopefully be before the new year. Upgrade the floatwheel, upskill, lose some weight and hopefully get my girlfriend riding too. Maybe actually qualify at some races next year 😁

@chippmover
Congratulations on joining the Onewheel community. You have made a fine choice.
Just ease into it, no heroics, the skill set will improve with time on the board.
I started riding at 68 years of age, and am currently 70. I ride every day, and enjoy every mile.
Be safe my friend!

@onedangts Solid info. Tysm :)
I tried a goat a few weeks ago but that GT also had the latest firmware so I was always trying to figure which I was feeling at play when off road. I'm still rocking the OG GT treaded so I'm not super fussed on the hard edges. I'm definitely a bit of a fringe rider with my preferences 😅

Defo will try to if we do Opensauce next year. Big IF because I'm not sure yet if we're going. Wish we had planned to stay longer this year but tbh we didn't think we'd be up to much like the time before. Sacramento will be on the todo list and we'll give you a heads up if we're in the area 🥰

@wheelwizard I have a set of the standard GT WTFs, and I like them. A GT will never ride as nice as an XR platform board, but WTFs will at least give you the best possible ride for the platform.

Note, I also have standard WTFs on my XR platform VESC.

WOW new beast!Like a lot!GT sux,too heayv

@lia said in New XR!!!!:

TLDW; XRC modules will fit in GT rails but you won't fit a GT battery box in the XRC rails. Controller module will fit regardless.

Diffrence:battry& rails
You made battery box for GT,rigth?Made 4 XR Classc! Would take 20 min 4you!

,has same lid,proly same led window,just shallower.

I almost ran over this little one the other day. Luckily everyone is safe. But, I did coax them off their sunning spot.

@puzz360 Got some good one wheels scooter I don't need anymore

@loaffette Big oof 😶
Idk. It is priced at what the PintX was so technically still better for the money but I'd still want those little QOL bumps for an S series.

Also that screen snippy you posted shows that bumper edge they mentioned which I couldn't spot on my first viewing. Pretty big so maybe that is for the rail guards like they suggested.

@onedangts said in GTS First Ride:

It may quiet down as the tire wears, but it's not too loud as to be annoying.

Quick follow up with about 150 miles on the ThunderCat. I would say the noise level is about half what it was when new. On some surfaces you can barely hear it, but the hum is still there and definitely keeps me informed in real time as to my approximate speed. Overall, loving this tire, great grip both on and off pavement. :D

@lia it was! that rain made for one of the best years i can remember in a long, long time. it was fantastic. kinda hoping it rains again this year, but alas, the long-range forecast is looking like a totally normal (perhaps even slightly cooler) year.

@notsure said in Cast 5" MTE hub now available from TFL..:

Cuz Jeff proclaims "Only for GT!" in the video

Yeah, pretty sure he means the GT platform in general, cuz they have the N52 magnets to pretty much match the GTS original hub.

Here's from the product page on TFL:

For GTS riders:
We recommend the N52 which is nearly identical to the stock GTS hub performance. The N48 or N42 will also work but you'll lose 5-10% torque with the benefit being an even higher top speed if that's what you're looking for.

And . . . they're sold out! :D

@lemur the last I heard the BMS may be charge only, but I'll just be glad if it doesn't power down at 20mph again, spraying me across the tarmac like a jam donut.

@loaffette said in ONEWHEEL S-SERIES RALLY BOARD:

@sirgu yeah. 450 to get rails put on and releveled is a slap in the face. Not a huge one, but still a slap

Or perhaps a temporary measure until they can sell leveling kits?? maybe that's wishful thinking... it's a potential revenue stream. i get it. I understand the rationale too.

That said - I hoped they learned a lesson about working with small niche consumer markets. Shit went sideways real quick last time huh?! lol...

We tend to live and die by our markets, not the other way around...

@notsure It is a very nice upgrade. I already built an 18s VESC myself, so the GT was feeling blah. I was getting used to the VESC algorithm, and little things about the FM algorithm that didn't used to bother me started to. So, I installed it, and that brought new life into my GT for me. I'm very happy with my choice.
