High Mileage!

Yay @lia !!! Ten thousand is a beautifully round number! And a lot of those were daringly wet kilometers!
-

@lia said in High Mileage!:
I'm soon rolling up on 10000km (9880km currently). :)
Here comes trouble.....are you there yet?
-
@stinkyface Not yet, you'll probably overtake me as it's way too cold and wet to be racking up the distance currently.
Go get that 10,000, I'll try and keep up ;)
(Love the profile pic btw <3 )

The Northern Hemisphere is definitely asleep when it comes to XR mileage. I've jumped 15 places to 141 in 10 days since I reply to @Lia
Must have been a glut of riders all with about the same nearly 10,000 ish km!
-
@stinkyface Seems to be the case, tbh the further up I’ve climbed the more changes have stagnated.
On days where I do little mileage I hold my position so I wonder if there are as many active boards in the highest mileage rankings.
-
@stinkyface Wondering if you rolled on by 10k yet~?
About to finally get through it myself, saving it for tomorrow though ;)
-
Forgot to share this earlier, got very distracted after I got back~
Still the stock battery, bearings, bumpers (although covered by float plates), rails and electronics. Just a new tire and some additional cosmetics. Treat them right and your board will go forever (until it doesn't)
-
@lia yep rolled over on 31st Jan. This is today.
2nd set of bearings, 3rd tire but original battery. Great 'feel good' milestone and it blows away anyone that asks that these machines are so durable.
That being said, workshop day tomorrow, new bearings, tire and a battery swap. The original cells get way out of balance if I don't use it for 2 or more days. The old cells will repack into some drill battery packs so not wasted.
A friend is bringing over his pint for a tire change and GT40 kit install.
-
@stinkyface Congrats on the milestone~!
Blown well past me, you're on track to make some real progress at this pace.My board envy's yours. I keep promising it a new pack everytime I climb this one hill back from shopping and feel the voltage sag bring me to a near nose drag.
-
Just turned over 7,000 miles on my XR. Add in the 1700 I had on my + when I sold it, should be hitting 9,000 total soon! Once I get the GT, I'll be doing more than the 11 or 12 miles a day I get on the XR AND I'm getting a Pint X so I can float at my vacation home as we've been spending a LOT more time there and I really miss OWing when I'm not home.
GT-S > GT > Pint X > XR > +
-
Just finished putting in the new pack etc. Wow. You guys are in for a treat with your GT's. It felt like it had shifted to delerium! Really responsive. The old packs must really suffer from voltage sag.
Going from an XR with an old battery to a new GT will be awesome.
-
Well... I am again Onewheeling... And it feels GREAT! Trying to hold my speed down... Still topped 20.5mph... And I felt like embracing and swishing the speed more fully... Riding with my arm in a sling... But I added d3o pads to the sling... And the sling acts conveniently also as a tether, ensuring that I won't try to break a fall with a stiff arm... Maybe tonight I will install the BadgerSense on my Plus.
Changed my Leaderboard name to English Dance... Celebrating two core activities... Relinked, I am back at #3 on the Plus mileage Leaderboard... With one day and a few miles I am #141 on the Plus Daystreak... I rode two boards today, and I am not sure which one holds the Daystreak display.
-
@s-leon Wonderful news! Stay safe out there you speed demon.
-
I've been anticipating this new milestone for a while now. My OW history is 1700 miles on the + that I bought back in August 2017, 7128 miles on the OneDanXR, 331 on the Pint X, and 842 miles on my GT.
That's 10,001 miles as of this morning . . . WOOHOO!!!
When you think about floating ~6 inches off the ground the equivalent distance of 4 times across the US from coast to coast, it's almost unbelievable. I'll check back in at 20k. :D
GT-S > GT > Pint X > XR > +
-
@onedangt Congrats :D
An impressive distance to have achieved! -
@onedangt -- Serious mileage! A rider after my own heart!
