flat tire replacement
-
Hi,
Can you provide some instructions how to replace the flat tire, i.e. where to loose what/how to loose the cable from the wheel? I am in Germany, so shipping the device to USA is not really an option for me.
Thanks,
Predrag

Do a search since someone recently posted a link to buy the tire and instructions on how to do it.

@fabuz That is good news! You heard this from FM?

Hey Fab,
Stoked to hear you are loving your board! We are aiming to have our European repair center open by the end of June 2016. If you are having any issues with your board we can of course have your board come to our repair center in the US.

I'm going to do a complete tutorial on how to change the tire very soon.. it's really easy..
-
@njcustom You're so the man!
-
Thanks @J-Glide much appreciated
-
@njcustom I need this so badly.
-
Nice, I wanna experiment with different tires..
-
@njcustom much appreciated!
-
@No not a good idea.. as a technician/mechanic i highly recommend the same tire.. it must be a slick too for safety reasons.
-
- to remember to check the video when its released.
-
@njcustom , not questioning you at all. Simply wish to learn. Why is a slick tire necessary for safety? I agree that at 15 MPH a treaded tire wont make a huge difference in any environment I can think of, but curious about safety? Thanks!

@Count if something like a rock or stick gets caught in the tread you're most likely getting hurt ..
-
@Count to add on to what @njcustom said I have had one experience where I was on an extremely rocky offroad trail and somehow a very large rock stuck to the wheel and the wheel tried to keep spinning but the rock was digging in to it and eventually jammed. So it threw me about 5 feet in front of the board. If the tire had treads I could see this situation happening all the time. Just like your car tires pick every little rock and pebble up.

@fabuz Not sure if anyone is still here but is there any news on the "European Repair center that will be opening by June 2016"..? Last thing I heard from FM is that it would open by the end of 2016, and after that that they would keep me posted of any evolutions. I guess there is no European repair center? And European riders are paying the pretty high shipping cost?
-
@saturnone hey bro ! I'm still here yeah !
If you did not watched it yet, there's a voice of onewheel episode with FM and they were talkin about it

But I think they say YES MAYBE because they don't want to tell us a NO NEVER...
We will have to be patient tho....
-
Hm, thanks man for the swift reply. I'm ok for now in terms of my onewheels being operational but had hoped a European center would offer accessories--and thus lower or no shipping cost.. As you indicate: we'll have to be patient--and pay..
