Clicking once per revolution on heel side turns (Update: serviced & resolved)
-
Any ideas? Checked the tire for debris and checked tightness of all bolts. Live with it?
-
Is this a newer board? I used to hear something similar when I first got my board, but it has since stopped
-
@readysetawesome let's see a clip of it with audio so we can diagnose. . .
-
Fixed! I put another 5 miles on the board and it seems to have stopped on its own
-
@readysetawesome Didn't you read the manual? The board always clicks for the first five miles. It's called the Five Mile Click.
-
My board developed a nasty click after about 20 miles. It went away after another then, then re emerged around 40 miles. Went away after about the fifty mile mark and didn't come back.
-
@cameroni79 yeah it came back louder yesterday. Definitely 3 or 4 clicks per rev now, becoming more of a grind. I'm at 150 miles.
-
I had the click pretty bad for about 25 miles, then after about 20 minutes riding on it, quieted down. It comes back a little bit sometimes but much quieter now. Just hit around 50 miles.
-
Mine clicks too.... when a rock is stuck to the tire. :)
-
@cascadewheeler I cleaned the tire thouroghly and even removed the fender. Clicks just as loud on carpet. This is coming from inside the sealed hub and vibrates through both footpads
-
Bummer sorry to hear... sounds like a trip to fm is in its future.
-
@readysetawesome I sent a vido of the noises mine was making to FM and they wanted me to send it back. So it's obviously never supposed to click. Bad bearing is my guess.
-
Still waiting for any response on my support ticket... living in onewheel purgatory sucks
-
@readysetawesome Yeah mine clicked (randomly it seemed like) for the first 100 miles or so. It didn't always click when I rode though. It seemed to change from ride to ride then one day it just went away.
-
@goodblake-eskate mines gone again so I do feel better now. Maybe just part of breaking in the beast
-
A pattern has emerged: clicking only occurs when I ride harder and the motor temp gets around 110F. If I do less accel/decel and avoid the abundant hills in my neighborhood, the click won't develop even after a longer ride. As soon as I get back to aggressive riding and hills, the click returns, and gets worse until I give the board some cool down time.
-
@readysetawesome I have the same problem but I don't even have to ride that hard to reproduce it and the motor temperature is 30 C
-
this is strange - i just got one too last night - but i can make the board click by manually turning the wheel even when it's off. that might be bad.
-
@ceceree they seem to have a defect or a design flaw, this is happening to a lot of us. As time has gone by and I rode more it became easier for me to reproduce the click with the board off.
-
@readysetawesome I haven't been able to reproduce the problem with the board off, perhaps this is the early stage and it will get worse. I am going to try tightening the bolts as some people have suggested and see if that helps.
