Flat Tire!
-
@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.
GT-S > GT > Pint X > XR > +

@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.

@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.
-
@s-leon I knew it!
-
@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!
-
@s-leon I love this so much please build a onewheel train!
-
@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.
-
@lia -- This kind of exchange is how ideas are born!
-
@s-leon It's such a fun idea!
Added twist though, not sure how feasable it would be to reverse it.
Just imagine this. It's Christmas time and you've got Santa's sleigh pulled by pairs of Onewheels up front?Think this needs it's own thread at some point lol.

@s-leon
Reading this made me think of this guy I follow on YT…🙂
