@emilysmith It does. Lower PSI gives the board more cushion and makes drops easier (lots of trail riders drop their PSI for this reason)
However, I've heard that dropping your tire PSI too low can cause your tire's sidewall to wear out quicker, and you do risk damaging your rim

The general rule of thumb is 10 percent your body weight. So I'm about 140lbs, so I tend to ride around 12-14 PSI, 10 PSI for trails.

@williamlewis Generally, batteries require more care in the cold rather than the heat.

Heat managment with the onewheel is a little challenging without either swapping out parts or some crazy setups. The best thing to try is to not push your board too hard and to limit your weight, if possible.

However, since it's starting to cool down, you should be able to push it harder.

Also hey, fellow Austin Rider!

@emilysmith Hiya :) The file size limit is currently 10MB with a max image size of 12800 x 5000 pixels as of typing. The platform will attempt to resize anything on the upper end of this scale so the topics load faster. The full size images are still available when clicking the image.

If you're able to get any pics you want to share below 10MB that will work natively here. I haven't increased this limit in a while so if it's needed I'll consider the implications against the existing storage pool.

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.

@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.

self, so the friend request is just the gate. In the meantime, use the 4208 hex that was emailed and log the checksum against the 4212 before you flash anything. If the two revisions differ, note the byte offsets so others can compare. Posting a plain-text checksum here is usually enough to confirm you got the right file without uploading it.

@mirhannes check ebay. Ive seen a few here in the us for 180 bucks witch isnt that harsh. They pop up frequently and i just bought one for 120 from a seller.

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.

@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.

e foot position @rc's reply describes, feet closer to the hub, gives a quicker ankle-based turn, so maybe test that on your left side specifically. The regular short-session idea is also solid, since your feet and ankles build tolerance gradually rather than all at once. At 57 with good balance, the left side just needs its own repetition, not a different technique.

Can you still connect with FFM on the 4209?

@lia awww thanks.
No worries. I'll carry on for now. It is what it is.
Let's see what the numbers say after a week or two of daily riding again.

Thanks for the tip on the XL... I suppose if you get the best they do you can't go wrong really...

I don't think I have the time for VESC. 😏

As for the Europe trips, they were all in the car...
Holidays in general plus a couple of festivals over last couple of years.

rode the Dubs for over a year and a half but I am 47 and not racing anywhere now and want to ride in comfort 😂 so have gone back to factory rails.
This board is my daily driver, I go to work on it and anywhere else I need to be ❤️

@edgeaholic Check your charge connector on the bms board, it may be burnt, the picture is not mine and my applogies to whomever posted this picture of a burnt pint charge connector.a9a9dc06-e7d0-4bd5-85c7-c1b4eff94662-image.png
