      @s-leon well crap

      I have yet to have a flat tire on my onewheel. Odd to see that the green goop stuff didn't do it's job though, it just kinda spurted everywhere and it looks like it made a bit of a mess

      ...there's a joke in there somewhere..

      113 volts?! I could lick that!

        Turns out that the new 5.5 on my spare motor also went flat over the winter and spring.

          @s-leon FYI, I may have not put any sealant in that tire when I mounted it. The first Hoosier that was on the OneDanXR went 5,000 miles with no sealant, so I figured why ruin a good thing! :D

          Perhaps all it needs is some sealant and it will hold air.

            @onedangt -- This morning I Onewheeled up to an auto parts store and bought a bottle of off-road green tire slime. This afternoon I added half the bottle to the tire of the OneDanXR, added air, and rode the OneDanXR for a mile and a half to spread the slime around inside the tire. Now it is ranked #91 in distance, and today #3155 in Daystreak. It feels great to ride it! I also filled my spare Hoosier 5.5 with air yesterday, and it is holding its own.

              @s-leon said in Flat Tire!:

              Now it is ranked #91 in distance

              We are distance neighbours ^-^

                @lia -- I will switch the OneDanXR's display to metric! -- Edit: 13797 km

                I'm actually not planning to ride the OneDanXR much, but I will try to keep up with you -- I'm busy trying to recoup a #1 in distance on the V1 or Onewheel Plus (about 2100 and 1400 miles to go, repectively).

                Then... I'm carving to achieve a Leaderboard display of... #1, #2, #3, & #4... the first two in distance, and the next two in Daystreak. The whole enchilada might take months... or even until next year... or possibly never.

                  @s-leon I see absolutely no reason you can't strap a third OW to that bike! :D

                    @onedangt -- Not because of your teasing, but because of my fresh strategy for achieving my goals. I am tempering distance with the V1 and Onewheel Plus now that I have the #1-#2 on the Leaderboard, looking to just maintain the streaks -- and that means I get to ride the OneDanXR more.IMG_5340.JPEG

                        @s-leon i see no reason you couldn't fit a fourth or fifth on the front either.

                        XR's got what plants crave!

                          @notsure -- Send me one or two more Onewheels, and sure, I will try mounting four or five Onewheels at one time on a bike!

                            @notsure -- I do not yet have a Onewheel Pint or Pintx, a GT, or any VESC boards, but I would also gladly accept another V1, Onewheel Plus, or Onewheel XR for this challenge! ...A dedicated cargo ebike would be nice, too.

                              @s-leon With a 4th board you could make a wooden frame to link them all to make a gokart then ride that instead of the bike.

                                @lia -- Or, how about two Onewheels spread like training wheels at the back bike wheel to help keep the center of gravity low? ...And another possibility is to load a few Onewheels in a bike trailer -- which I do have.

                                  @s-leon Wait that's genius because the wheels would charge as you move too!

                                    @lia -- A yoke and couplings to pull a whole train of Onewheels!

                                        @lia -- In my experience of pulling Onewheels they would need some side stabilization because they tend to carve on their own. Maybe join them in side-by-side pairs, or several abreast.

                                          @lia -- I could use the bike trailer as the yoke, extend support struts out the sides of the trailer, and strap a Onewheel on the struts on each side with wheel to the ground. Then I could carry several more Onewheels in the trailer itself.
