    • Wanted to share some stoke with you all <3

      Hiya,

      Long time lurker that's slowly creeping out of her shell. Active on reddit but wanted to start engaging with my fellow floaters over here too :)

      I recently compiled some footage I've acquired over the better parts of the UK weather this year during my daily floating endeavours. Packaged it up in a little montage for you all to enjoy <3

      Going through the pics on my phone and forgot I took this back in August.

      Small herd of deer enclosed within the boundaries of a local farm. It's the only good view you get of them if you can find this small little bridleway tucked in a bush.

    • RE: Watching Action on the Leaderboards

      Week 41 locked in, lets see how things have progressed.
      2020 Week 41.png

      Daystreak

      • Daystreak wise nothing new except for the V1 where we see workwithbillyfunk fall off #5 and in their place bryanrapoza appear.

      Mileage

      • On the XR board CaptainBuddy has overtaken TheJanimal now at #7 and #8 respectively. Nguyen@808 has also been wiped off the board with YONHNA Joel Ojo taking position #10.
      • For the Plus Mr. Keith has vanished from #7 allowing everyone below to move up and see Robinal take up #10

      That's all for this week, hope everyone is enjoying the updates :)

      It has been done! @HanahsDax has rode 2 years consecutively on a single streak.
      Congratulations for making it to such an insane milestone!

      In honour of this achievement I've made a small gift.

    • RE: Badges - Got ’Em.... Send That Stoke Box (Everest & Mariana Trench .....)

      @HanahsDax In the same boat, updated the app on my old iPad to see how it behaved but not the iPhone just in case. Seems to work fine without destroying the streak but haven't used it yet to update the streak. Will give that a shot tomorrow if I remember.

      I will say leaderboard wise it looks like it stayed the same since I can't see any changes to the javascript over on https://app.onewheel.com/leaderboards.html (which is great for me since I use that page to scrape info for the weekly leaderboard updates lol)

      @LidPhones Regarding rides does it look like it's counted the ones you did but haven't made public or has it only counted those? Curious if it's possible to record private rides and have them count so I can avoid cluttering the map D: I purge a lot of my public ones fairly often if I get too many truncating as a big blob.

    • Reviving a destroyed Pint

      Hi all,

      Recently I've become the owner of a Pint that got snapped in half after a hit and run incident here in the UK. Here's some pics the rider took after the incident.
      S4nPx8P.jpg
      TNqQuwW.jpg
      The owner thankfully wasn't injured however due to legal complications with the OW being used here the police advised not to pursue a case; even though they managed to get the plate before they bailed. For those interested in pics and the post here are the links.
      Reddit post
      More images

      Unfortunately they had binned the destroyed parts and I was sent the wheel, controller and battery with the rail mounts for the axle. I was hoping to keep the rails as a memento to what the poor thing had gone through but I'll focus on bringing it back to working order before working on any tributes.

      Anyway, she arrived the other day and I've been cleaning the oil off her from the van. There is a lot of damage but electronically she looks fine having taken a closer look. Was a little concerned before purchasing and due to the distance between us and Covid it wouldn't have been sensible for me to see it in person. Risky but I trusted them that the info was accurate.
      IMG_6265.JPG

      Damage appears to be the battery communication connector had snapped it's clip off when the whole cable got yanked through the watertight sleeve. When the XT60 got tugged it yanked the power button connector apart and bent the leftover pins to the point they fell off after closer inspection.
      IMG_6267.JPG
      As usual the power button nut is loose and the plastic thread has snapped.
      IMG_6274.JPG
      When the xt60 reached the watertight sleeve it pulled out a thread one side causing the whole thing to become cross threaded making in difficult to undo without that large adjustable spanner. Being plastic it took a bit of careful jiggling before undoing it without demolishing the head.

      Battery appears to be fine though from what I can see. It's off so I assume when the cabled got yanked the battery went into auto shutdown some time after the accident.

      Unfortunately all of the mounting posts on the controller are completely destroyed and missing so even with new rails she won't connect to anything. One corner on the controller housing has snapped off also exposing the gasket.
      IMG_6271.JPG
      IMG_6273.JPG
      On further inspection the lower metal housing on the controller is bent opening up the seal where the LED's are exposing the gasket and an opening.
      IMG_6269.JPG

      The hub also sustained a scrape but for the most part it looks like the hub's structural integrity has been retained. Pressure is still present so we should be good, just needs a bit of paint.
      IMG_6270.JPG

      After all that though, I can confirm when bypassing the busted power switch I can turn her on and off. No errors upon turning on and connecting to the app, motor maintains holding torque too once connected. Both front and rear LEDs glow and I would imagine if I short both left and right pad sensor pins to ground I could get her to spin up. Voltage entering the controller was 60v so looks like this little Pint wasn't far from home when things took a turn for the worst.
      IMG_6266.JPG

      So my question now is.... where can I buy some rails, bolts and maybe even the lower controller housing? Being in the UK shipping might be an issue and I'm not looking to break the bank this early after Christmas D:
      I'm willing to just DIY it and and give this pint a new life as something a little different but that kind of feels wrong.

      I'll keep you all posted on this Pint's recovery. Any suggestions on part availability or if anyone is parting a board out give me a poke.

    • RE: Watching Action on the Leaderboards

      Thanks for all the support, happy to be around others that share a similar attachment to the challenge that is keeping up a daystreak.

      Was considering taking a break after this with the weather being unusally horrible and lockdown limiting me to ride no further than within my small town. However I figured since I know I rode yesterday I'll keep going. Albeit my official streak ended; personally I'm still going and never stopped.

      Besides... gives me a new challenge to not only reach #1 but get back up there in the first place.

    • RE: Watching Action on the Leaderboards

      Here we are, Sunday again and looks like a lot has gone on in the prior week.
      So much so I've had to once again extend the daystreak area!
      2021 Week 04.png

      Daystreak

      • Feels odd reporting on myself, Lia on the XR is a numpty and fell off #3. #4 and #5 move up a place and in turn BUHLL appears at #5 with a year and a half under their belt. Unless @Future-Motion come out with a new flagship board I can see the bar to entry on the XR being 2 years soon!
      • Plus rider Middle-Aged-Boy has ended their streak at #3 with all below moving up the ranks. Chuckb takes #5 with nearly half a year of riding daily.
      • V1.... where do I begin. #1 Bryanrapoza , #2 @blkwalnutgrwr , #4 davidteehee and #5 bridgetheckler have all ended their streak, leaving @HanahsDax to take up #1. Filling the void of positions we have #2 Robert 208 , #3 Wesley , #4 Moist_Pinecone and #5 davinmackay.

      Mileage

      • Zigon CBR on the XR continues their climb up the ranks now taking #5 from PASCH. At this rate it looks like they'll be at #2 in no time.
      • Another rider climbing the board is Natztera-Witzwheel over on the Pint who has overtaken Double J; taking #4.
      • Odd one on the Plus, OnewheelJefe has unlinked one of their boards being the one up at #1 however still holding their other Plus which has taken #4 after the positions all move up. All except NJacobs at #7 who was overtaken by MaddMikes at #6. At #10 we see Vunveel appear.

    • RE: Reviving a destroyed Pint

      Can't get ahold of any rails through the usual channels, making my own.

      Since I've made replica rails in CAD and 3D printed to verify my measurements the next step would be to just make my own.

      Milling is tedious and expensive so I've dismissed that idea. Pre-made box section exists though and after a bit of looking I found some that's almost ideal for making rails from.
      ALUMINIUM CHANNEL U - SKU: length: 600mm, size: 1.1/2 x 3/4 x 1/8 (38.1mm x 19mm x 3.2mm)
      IMG_6523.JPG

      The rails need an inner spacing of 32.5mm from what I've found with these come to 31.8mm. All I have to do is rout out 0.35mm either side and they'll slot on. Then I can trim the depth of the U bracket down to spec. After I'll drill out the holes, countersinking a few, tapping others and then cutting the ends at the appropriate angle to meet flush with the bumpers.

      Easier said than done?
      Maybe...

      I don't have any bits capable of chewing through aluminium with a flat tip so waiting on those to show up. Then I can make a jig to slide the rails into the router to shave off enough material on the inside of the U profile, the rest will be a cakewalk. I'll keep you all posted!

      Sorry @HanahsDax for stealing the 3000mile marker, didn't realise I was coming up to it. Got my app set in KM.

      Looking back through my screenshots; if not for that 100KM VNR test ride I did the day before hitting 3000miles you'd have beaten me for sure.

      Sad to see my fellow UK leaderboard companion fall off #2.

    • Purchasing a dead XR?

      Hi all,

      Been PM'd over on reddit about potentially purchasing an XR that I tried guiding a fellow floater through diagnosing since it wasn't turning on. I already own one but love fixing things so fixing a OW sounds fun.

      They've been sitting on it for a while unable to swallow the costs of getting it repaired since they believe the controller and battery are dead (motor is fine with a new tyre on it). When we checked it over the comments it looked to be a failed BMS due to liquid damage that drained the cells pretty much to 0v across all cells (yikes). Not sure why they believe the controller is also dead unless they got that checked by a third party hen getting quotes for repair.

      My issue is they're in the US and I'm in the UK so shipping might cost as much as they want for the dead board. Ideally I'd like the whole thing minus the cells (since they're useless and will causing issues shipping) so I can try fault finding the dead components to bring her back to life.

      Anyone got any advice or had any experience shipping a OW or something of similar size/weight from US to UK?

      If not... anyone in the UK got a dead board they'd want to sell me to tinker with ;p

      @Glyph I keep hearing Mission is better for smoother terrain in general but I can't get over how sluggish it feels compared to Delirium. Having that extra snappy reaction when I need it is really nice. It might just be me being stuck in my way mind you lol.

    • RE: Watching Action on the Leaderboards

      Hi all,

      As the new Leaderboard watcher I've decided to do a week summary of positions followed by notes below of anything else interesting that may have happened along the way. Since I only really stared logging since yesterday not much has occurred.

      Feel free to add any additional context or notes that I might have missed along the way :)

      End of week 39 of 2020.
      2020 Week 39.png
      Daystreak
      First thing of note is TiY has fallen off position 3 on the Onewheel+ daystreak bumping nyte.ryda and Glassalchemist up the ranks.
      Va_Breeze has joined the board at position 5 only 2 days less than Glassalchemist at position 4

      Mileage
      Nothing seemingly to report on for the Mileage boards. I'm sure with the seasons changing the southern hemisphere will begin to catch up with the northern hemisphere again now that it's getting warmer for them and colder for the northern side.

    • RE: Watching Action on the Leaderboards

      Another week down, another summary image for you all. Seems like almost all the changes are occurring on the V1 this week.
      2020 Week 40.png

      Daystreak

      • V1 has seen Robert208 and InoBevious fall of the daystreak leaving room for BradMCH and workwithbillyfunk to get on the top 5 with under 2 weeks of streak.

      Mileage

      • XR has stevie_wondaa and CarpetFace trade positions #4 and #5.

      • Graz[hopp]er seems to have unlinked their board since they have vanished from the Pint mileage board. jonnyboomboom has in turn secured position #10

      • #3 Thormax and #5 onewheeltour have disappeared off the list leading to #9 and #10 to be populated by tigermiketea and J-Glide.

      I think for future to keep things simple I'll from now on update shifts in positions on these Sunday posts with the occasional note on other days if other interesting things appear.

      Since starting I have been saving a copy of https://app.onewheel.com/leaderboards.html for each day so we should now have a sort of historic record to refer back to providing I continue to remember to do it.

    • RE: Been testing the waters (pun intended) of how much I can push my badgered XR. Today I accidentally went deeper than I wanted.

      Forgot to update here. Made a post on reddit but for transparency purposes I'll update this post too :)
      Have been riding more and more in the watery depths and it looks like I found my limit. At least for now.

      Was out riding in my usual stream when I dove above the rails again. This time I kept it under and rode it through. It's a really weird feeling.

      Didn't notice any issues on the ride home but I noticed when I turn her off she turned back on a few seconds later. After about 7 attempts I realised this was probably due to my earlier ride, water was inside and I needed to disconnect that battery ASAP.
      IMG_5940.JPG

      BMS was dry and had no evidence of corrosion. It's covered in conformal coating so I'll expect corrosion near the connectors if any. Battery itself tested fine with each cell pair measuring within an acceptable tolerance of the others.
      IMG_5942.JPG

      Controller side was another story. The controller was soaked, drops of water everywhere. This'll be what was triggering the board to turn back on. I know it doesn't take much, just touching the pins on the large battery connector is enough to trigger the BMS to turn on so the water was doing similar.
      IMG_5943.JPG

      After removing the top plate I could see additional water on the reverse side of the PCB
      IMG_5952.JPG

      In the bottom of the controller box were puddles, yeah I took it too far clearly. Not quite sure where it all came in mind you but I suspect it was around the threading on the power button and charge connector.
      IMG_5944.JPG

      Battery box was mostly dry, there was some water in it still especially around the rear lights.
      IMG_5946.JPG

      Condensation had formed on the rear lights, I did hear some hissing as I took the onewheel apart around the battery box so seeing this with 0 damage to the BMS has me suspect the rear light has been damaged.
      IMG_5947.JPG

      Rear light connector has corrosion, some of the pins have gone blue.
      IMG_5956.JPG

      Same can be said for the other side of the connector, this having a lot more corrosion on it. Need to scrape it all off and check connectivity
      IMG_5957.JPG

      After cleaning it up I found one of the via's on the rear light PCB was dead so I bodge wired from the output of the connector round to the corresponding pin on the LED bank (was the red ones)
      IMG_5960.JPG

      My board is plagued by broken solder joints. My front LEDs actually stopped working not because the cable broke but the connector had broke a pin loose. While testing the light states with the motor plugged in I noticed the lights flickered between states when turning the wheel. Seemed like one of the motor sensor connections were broke. Having already had to bodge wire the front left footpad sensor a few months back I decided to save myself from this again and just bodge wired every active pin on the motor sensor and footpad sensor connector.
      IMG_5967.JPG

      After the wiring work I sealed up my controller and battery box ready to seal it up again with the last of my Badgerwheel kit.
      IMG_5968.JPG

      Lots of silicone, who needs an internal gasket when you can just gunk the outside ;)
      IMG_5973.JPG

      All re-assembled and everything works again. Bonus points for finally getting my front light back up and running after so many months of it being flickery.
      IMG_5977.JPG

      I still believe the Badgerwheel kit is great, my last application was 7 months ago and I feel I didn't do the best of jobs applying it. Will be doing a proper seal job soon so I can continue pushing my luck.

      Hope the small diagnostics and teardown is useful to anyone. It wasn't the most amazing of fixes since the board hadn't actually suffered any terminal issues.

    • A tribute to my Vega (7208km)

      A few weeks ago my stock Vega finally let out its last breath at 7208km; over 2 years after her first ride. I could have patched her up again and carried on but I could literally shine a light through the tyre in one spot (confirmed after taking it off). Slime was no longer an option and since I ride at 25PSI and I wasn't going to trust that tiny tear not to just rip open being as the threads were worn through too in that area.

      Exploded View Xray.JPG

      Featured in the model is a rough recreation of the internal stator inside what would be the Hypercore hub. I didn't fancy taking mine apart to get exact dimensions so used other pics and some pixel math to estimate it. Regardless I think it looks really cool and gives the model a heart of sorts.

      If you'd like to build one yourself check my MyMiniFactory or Thingiverse. I've provided all the 3D models and the BOM for each version on the stand.

      I started work on a stand for it to sit on a few months ago assuming it wouldn't make it much longer. Oh how wrong was I. Originally it was just for the tyre but I later modified the base to accept a footpad. Much later my rail guards looked like they needed swapping so I decided to make the model accept 2 rails with guards or the 3D printable dummy ones to show those off too. In my case I didn't have spare rails so printed replica ones which are included in the files.

      Of course it wouldn't be complete without RGB so I kitted it out with some addressable RGB strips and rings that are controlled by 2 Arduino Nano's.

      That's all, sharing in case anyone else wanted to make one for their fallen tyre or just to hold a spare like mine was doing for months. Thanks for reading <3
