NotSure

@lia Thats a GT?! i want those rails!

Lia

@notsure TFL Steep and Deep rails ^-^

They were dead cheap on the black friday sale. There are different versions that probably ride different but I let my purse decide for me 😅 Below are the differences.

NotSure

@lia how steep is that in degrees please?

Anyone had any luck with re-calibrating a GT using FixMyPEV's tutorial?
https://www.fixmypev.com/diy/onewheel/gt/calibrate/

I'm getting stuck on just connecting via the webpage in Webler 😭 Sent them a email but had nothing back so I assume they're busy.

Lemur

@lia Iphone Webler hasn't worked or months now.
You have to use FFM on the "live" tab on a Windows laptop and I think Android works too.
Do you have FFM ?
If you do the calibration and pairing , level the board, the board may time out and shut off, so it may take a few tries.

Lia

@lemur Oh I never even tried Windows or Android since it said incompatible. Should have seen the little asterisk 😅 Will give it a shot in the morning after I dig out an old android device.

@lia I use nRF Connect along with the original instructions on Android and have had success re-leveling the board. I never disconnected the battery, but that shows factory mode works.

It will have to be a non-upgraded GT. If you have the buzz, FM changed things from what I understand.

Lia

@biell I'm 6109 atm (HW6408). Waiting on a GT motor to come sometime next week so I can at least get rid of one of the errors and sort it out. Seems to turn itself off after like a minute so I assume that's related.

I did have a go on Android but the FM app would refuse to see the board after pairing via the FixMyPEV button. Probs that BLE handshake thingy so will need to try the rewheel fix :3

biell

@lia I think the GT BLE commands are different, but I remember the rest being the same for my GT as for my XR: https://owforum.co.uk/topic/210/rewheel-app-to-access-factory-mode-on-onewheels/4?_=1707077559784

Rewheeling is the way to go anyway, because after you disable the handshake, you can use OWCE to manage the board (for most things, at least).

The key is to use nRF Connect while the app is still connected.

Lia

Kinda been a bit busy but I would like to share the new member of the fam.

I haven't named it yet or styled it out. I don't wanna keep it all black.

I ended up not using the superflux motor as it made it super heavy. Thankfully @dajw had a GT motor needing a new home so I was able to buy that and get it running.

Not before fixing the pairing issue. I reached out to Justin at FixMyPEV and he was able to share some knowledge on the topic since I'm not super up to date in the GT fiasco. This guide was what I ended up following.

Will need to unlock it with the tool that shall not be named so I can use the OWCE app.

I also modified a model on Printables to allow an airtag to be mounted ^-^

Might upload it another day as a remix.

LOAFFETTE

@lia That looks amazing!

I wish my board looked that nice!

Sirgu

Not gonna lie, flexy fender top gives Slushy looks to it. :}
Clean build!

Lia

@loaffette Thank you ^-^ I do wanna give it a makeover at some point since I'm not super into just black but at least it looks nice as is :3

@Sirgu Aha yeah I had some spare bits so those were migrated over. Slush remains intact though. I want to try without the fender and just the fins but I need to stop the dirt somehow.

TheAdman

I honestly think it looks so good all black, so mean looking.

Sirgu

It haunted me till now when suddenly realized why I like BLACK so much in here.
-- You heard of why fat people wear black clothes? - Yes!
Whenever GT first made into public, prof. Jake Leary criticised it for fat rails and bulky looks in so many reasons. (I agreed all those hands down.) Aside of aspects from practical considerations, one was just the looks.

And yes .. one does not need to be obsessed in black tone in general ... black just makes GT / GT-S look pleasantly slimming.

Lia

@sirgu I used to dress in black a lot to slim some bits 😅

I sort of like the chunkyness of the GT. Although I got some lowboy footpads to bring the ride height lower so it's a bit more stable.

I got some lowboy footpads

I really like these on my GTS. I replaced the concave pads on my GT for the flats, but that was before the lowboys came out. My GT is now waiting for me in Hawaii and will get a new tire and small cosmetic makeover soon as, right now, both of my boards are pretty murdered out.

Lia

@onedangts I like them but as with most FM pads for the past few years they don't activate brilliantly. Although I'll take poor activation over ghosting 😅

Might have to add some bumps or something to add more pressure points since if the pad gets cold it doesn't activate cleanly lol.

Wanna see pics of these boards now :3

https://owforum.co.uk/post/5612 . . . that's what they look like now.
https://owforum.co.uk/post/5610 . . . better pic of the GTS.

The GT was loaned to my brother-in-law to learn on, so the bumpers, rail guards and fender got pretty scratched up. It then had a controller issue so I sent it to FM to fix it and I swapped the return address to my Hawaii place while they had it and they shipped it back there (FM life hack to get your board shipped somewhere, LOL). Like a new board, it got to Hawaii in 3 days as well! Once I get there in March, I'll put on the new TFL rail guards and the sharpie/clear nail polish repaired fender along with the new tire (will keep that secret until the reveal).

Lia

@onedangts Look amazing! Love the little tip for the return delivery too. I'll keep that in mind.

Can't wait for the reveal ^-^
