@puzz360 It's getting to be too cold for me to ride here, so i haven't been on my board in weeks (i've also been stupidly busy), which is to say that i didn't do the haptic update on my Pint until last week. Took it for a final ride this past weekend to get the battery into the 50% range for storing over the winter, and everything worked fine. i never managed to feel the buzz, but i wasn't pushing it either.

Soooo turns out riding fenderless over a bunch of pine needles is far less than desirable. So much so, I broke and picked up a full fender. With a little modification it fits the FAF rails. Just have to get used to the noise again... I forgot how loud they are.

@blkdout well i mean at this point, theyre no longer mint condition first production run thunder rails. prob 20 of them in the world.

@blkdout I'm just praying the new tape solves my problems.

@blkdout Could maybe do a sub category under mods.
Although I guess a single topic discussing it would work fine too.

@blkdout -- Yes, I hold the Outbound Detour kind of like a flashlight, except I hold it comfortably by the ring of the handlebar mount. This morning I was out on the Greenway in the cloud-covered, extra pitch dark before daybreak. Of course, I have been meaning to be up that early and out for two weeks now, and finally did it. The Outbound Detour shines very much like a car's headlight, casting well ahead from just ahead of the board's nose all the way out where I need it at 20 mph, as well as off to the sides. On the trail in the woods I saw three single whitetail deer, and interesting small flocks of birds low in the Greenway corridor, their wings flashing in the light.

@blkdout said in New Tire Day Projects:

They said a slick is coming!

i would like a drifting slick... one that could reliably give me that elastic sliding feeling. i dunno if thats either a super hard or super soft compound, but if i could drift around a turn or two at 16 mph in a fun but controllable manner, id dig it!
