@jslice Can't comment on how accurate it is but I use this. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B071XTHWQF/ Works decently well and used it to set my fresh tyre.

@HorsePlay I see no issue, it's about the leaderboard and an achievement worthy of a congratulations :) Much harder to hit top 100 on the XR these days, go back to 2019 and all you needed was 2 weeks to get there. Funnily enough I'm close behind you at #105 (84 days). Good to know I'm maybe a week away from getting into double digits again soon too :)

I'm in! Holy crap that hub was hard to take apart. It was pretty tight but I eventually managed to break it lose after plenty of oil and destroying a few bits of spare wood to act as a dampener when hammering the axle out. Once whatever was stuck came loose I was able to push it through all the way with just my thumbs. Looks like one bearing is utterly shot. It's got loads of play in it, enough that I can wobble the plate against the axle with the bearing seal being the bit that moves. Trouble is it won't come off. Since it's 6PM I'll hold off bringing out the big guns to rip it off but tomorrow it's coming off! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1OPNpuGkf0 The scrapes on the hub wasn't me, that was the Van! Same side as the suspected dodgy bearing so makes sense. Under close inspection it looks like there is some corrosion on one of the stator cores along with matching rust blobs on some of the magnets within the hub. Doesn't bother me too much as I'll just clean it off. Outside of that I think this might be a simple bearing swap... I hope. Any recommendations on new bearings? Obvious choice seems to be Craft&Ride but curious if anyone has a special brand they use instead?

Bummer just got back home.. left garage open accidentally and someone got a five finger discount on my XR with yellow fender. What does one do when someone steals your one wheel? 🥺 Los Angeles, Marina Del Rey Sn: 2033175050 Yellow fender New Hossier tire relaroni@gmail.com

@NotSure Hah, that's awesome.

@Ottohoff what is the new charger? What are its specifications? There is a bit of tech in the charger to control the charge rate during the charge cycle that you will lose by using a generic charger.

@Zocchi said in Wrecked at 0 Miles.: Boy, oh boy, do I wish I had actually taken the time to learn how to use this thing. Count on just slowly putting around for the first 40 miles at a minimum. Short progress can be very misleading. I started out on the front lawn just doing lazy laps and figure eights. Your feet are basically useless blocks of meat for the first ten miles imo. At first, you may have very little stamina and the sensations are meaningless, which is a recipe for falling. After a while you become way more comfortable just standing on the board let alone interpreting the sensations your feet are telling you. You may even be able to carve on the flats ok, but an uneven road surface will substantially alter the sensation, and there is a surprising amount of that type of situational experience to acquire while riding these things. Hard heel-side turns require a degree of trust in the board as well as a strong sense of balance (you're basically performing your own trust fall). I was legit intimidated by it for the first 20 miles and I'm a well-seasoned snowboarder. A complete novice would be smart to just take it REALLY slow. Wear all the gear. Never stop wearing a helmet imo. After you master the lawn, driveway or parking lot, then try a road or sidewalk. Traversing inclines can be kinda trippy. Just my two cents on the subject.

I pushed myself today ... and got my "Mileage In A Day BRONZE" badge (8 miles). My previous single-day mileage never exceeded 5 miles ... but I pushed through that rut today! All dirt, rough terrain, ... and another new first: my first bonk! Got some air popping over a rather impressive mole hill today. Whoo-hoo!

@LidPhones , heh-heh-heh. Sure! There are bad ways to fall and "better" ways to manage an unscheduled dismount. In one of my "better" falls I pulled off a graceful spiral around the horse's neck and landed on my feet at his shoulder. So cool ... amazingly athletic. But that, of course, was many years ago ... @Adam-S , so cool! Thanks for sharing your story and the encouragement! As for the horse passing the handler (me) ... one of my horses is used to doing traveling circles on a long line. We haven't yet reached that point with the OW ... but she is asking. Gladly, each my horses accept a tiny wiggle on the lead as signal to slow down and return to my requested position. (So thankful for Natural Horsemanship. What a blessing to have clear, quiet communication and relationship with these critters.) @petec8787, Welcome to the Community! :) I've found that riding every day ... even if just to earn my daily streak (min 1-mile) ... has helped greatly. I am gaining confidence over new terrains both mentally and physically. My husband and I now take the boards out together on most weekends ... somewhere, anywhere, just to sneak in a ride together. I love it. Again, welcome! Glad you are here!

@T-CAT from where did you order that wrap ? Which website?

@MonilK i don't think so... The diagnostics tool does record trip odometer revolutions but not trip time. You could feasibly estimate your speed if you know the times you left and returned from your trip.
