RE: OW XR SHIPPED!
@cameronbalch the XR has a bigger battery with a different battery chemistry so the same rules don't necessarily apply.

RE: Tire pressure
@beeasy02
10 psi is way too low, your mileage will be greatly reduced and the shoulders on your tire will wear out quickly. Ride with it as high as possible...it will feel bumpier at first but you learn to use your legs more for absorbing bumps. FWIW, I keep mine at at 40 psi unless I'm riding off-road, then I'll drop to 20psi. -
RE: Fender made with a more appropriate material
@ventoriffic when we ride offroad, I constantly have to wait for my buddy to retrieve his magnetic fender when it bounces off with no crash involved. Inevitably he gives up and straps it to his backpack and finishes the ride with muddy footpads and pants. I've only had to remove my fender once while riding, taking less than 2 minute with the hex key I keep in my pack. Between the magnetic fender and no fender, I'd choose no fender.
IMHO the only "sexy" onewheels are when they are brand new. I give the people that actually ride and beat the hell out of their boards way more respect.

RE: Fender made with a more appropriate material
I too like the flexible/durable fender idea. Carbon fiber looks great and can be durable for the right circumstances but the onewheel is a terrible application when it is guaranteed to go sliding across the pavement at some point. Magnetic mounted fenders that pop off instead of breaking are not great option either...you don't see any dirt bike or mountain bike parts that take that approach.

RE: Wheel Squeak!
Just keep riding...typically it goes away after a while.

Onewheel is way more fun https://youtu.be/5MFNlaQpO5A

RE: Riding in the cold
@doublebull In theory, taking a cold object into a warm space could cause condensation, however, in the winter time, air is much dryer to begin with so it's not likely to be an issue. You would also notice it forming on the outside of your board first so if the outside stays dry, the inner components will also be dry.

RE: Has calibrating the battery for 48 hours worked for anyone?.. Anyone?
@mtruby82 I have a Hoosier but to give you an idea how much pressure affects mileage, when I first put it on and could only inflate it to 15 psi without rubbing, id' be lucky to get 5 miles in warm conditions...after wearing the tire down for clearance at higher pressures (40 psi) I've gotten 6.5 miles. I'm also 6'-7" 230lbs so your mileage may vary.
