“So far I have only 50 miles on this wheel before tearing it down to replace the tire with a Shinko 244. The stock tire(direct from Begode) was absolutely horrible with such a heavy side wall there was no road feel and horrible traction off road despite being a knobby it was a road tire 80/20 IMO.
*get nylon bushings to address the huge amount of slop everywhere(literally) in the linkage/suspension. This is why the wheel rattles and makes so much noise!!! Horrible tolerances, the spindles that attach the shock top and bottom to the body and linkage arm is an odd 11.2mm and it doesn't even fit the shock body properly (slop) of about .3mm.
*Additional y the lower grade ~5 (according to hardware expert) bolts used to attach the wheel to the suspension despite there being 11 of them didn't inspire confidence so I upgraded to grade 12 bolts of the same size.
* Finally to shed a bit more weight and get a more progressive shock feel I'm installing the 210x65 Begode air shock. The 900lb spring was shipped with my wheel instead of the 1300lb I requested from Begode so it was a very harsh ride for for a 6'5" guy at 270lbs with gear!
Would be nice if a replacement kickstand was offered so one can run one front and rear for additional protection & perhaps a bit more rigidity.
I'm likely going to offer an etsy suspension upgrade kit that includes nylon washers and bolts to minimize suspension slop and alleviate all the suspension noise.
Would love to attach pictures but not seeing a way to so that here for some reason.”
“What a beast. Jumped from a v12 right to this apex predator. It moves with such confidence and control. I have more agility and speed than ever before.
Packaged perfectly. I'm so happy I chose this wheel as my second wheel. And very pleased to be in the first wave. I went with the 168v. And I went to the right place. Stick with the best. Buy from the best.”
“This wheel is awesome! I have a lot of different wheels and this one is by far the most capable. I'm 230lbs and I can fly on this thing. With 6 years expirence riding onewheels and EUCs and I can only push the wheel to 65% PWM at the moment with only 40 miles ridden. The wheel is sleek the power is insane. I slid on some ice this morning getting coffee and I recovered without falling. I always fall when the wheel looses grip but today with the bigger wheel and treded tire I rode away unscathed. I can't wait to get my confidence up and start jumping. Love this wheel!”
