I rode my + for about 1500 miles with the Vega at 20 psi and it worked well. I had always wanted to try a treaded tire, but was afraid of the install as, back in the day, there were no really good vids on how to DIY. When I finally swapped it, I still had decent rubber left, according to the wear markers, so I'm sure it could have gone over 2k.

I installed a FF Hoosier treaded and REALLY liked the confidence it gave me not only on wet grass, leaves, mud, but even on pavement. Carving on pavement just sticks better with the treads. I ran that for the first 100 miles or so at 20 psi and thought the FF Hoosier was just rounder, thus explaining the added difficulty of balancing when stopped.

Right around that time, I bought my XR . . . really needed the range. At around 300 miles, I needed a treaded tire and went with the Burris. Inflated to 20 psi (like I had always ridden) and, of course, was a bit squirrelly when stopped.

I was training someone on my XR while I rode the + and realized they were having some trouble balancing. Also saw a vid with @jeffmccosker riding and saying "16 psi, always", so I tried it. That just happens to be about 10% of my weight. That was the trick, I can now pretty much balance when stopped (or easily heel lift to stop), rides smooth as silk, and I can still get 18+ miles of range when it's warm out.

I can see if I rode more challenging dirt trails, I'd maybe add a few psi, but with my type of riding, 16 psi is perfect!

I wonder if Boosted riders get the kick flip requests . . . anyone know? :D

@Kielanders Been riding for over 3000 miles and I think the "can I try it?", mostly from kids, is what I hear the most. Either I'm already past them or I say something like "sorry, battery is low and I need to get home" or "not unless you have a driver's license", which I would hold if I ever let anyone else on my board.

I'm the same way, I haven't had anyone on my board except friends that want to try it or learn on it. No way I'm being responsible for some kid getting scraped up or a concussion or worse and I've already scratched up my OWs enough myself!

Anymore, my boards stay rubber side down at all times! I do sometimes slow or stop for curious adults and have a conversation, but yeah, depends on the situation.

@Franko As for the "do a kick flip", I mostly ignore them or I take off across the grass/dirt/gravel and say "follow me!" . . . HAHAAAAAAAAAAA

I need to design some sort of sling or harness I think...

I dunno, it's pretty small, can't you just attach it to your key ring? :D

Yet another request that was asked when the + became popular . . . don't hold your breath.

@LidPhones said in Comparing Pint and XR Bluetooth Connection Functionality With iOS 13 Variants While Connecting to an Apple Watch S4.:

During my ride I leave the iPhone in my short or jean pocket and only tilt my wrist to look at the OW data.

I do this, except with an Android phone and a Wear OS watch . . . works flawlessly with my + and my XR. Since they repaired my XR, it never drops the connection.

@Glyph Seriously! If anything, they should make sure the bluetooth is extra reliable, then update their watch app to connect to the board directly, without a phone, so we have the option of riding with just a watch. I know it can be done as I used to use an app that did just that, but @Future-Motion broke all the 3rd party apps when they changed the API in a firmware update for the boards. People have been asking for a standalone watch app even before the XR bluetooth debacle!

@a_onekatie No offense to Alex, but I'd talk to Jon. I worked with him to fix the bluetooth on my XR. Perhaps he'll understand if you tell him that there seems to be many others experiencing this.

This is giving me deja vu! I, myself, wouldn't buy a Pint right now because when I bought my XR after they found the problem, they still shipped me one with the old hardware.

@DashinglyHunter Open it! Open it!

I ride mostly bike paths, but this detour is a highlight of many of my rides. A deer crossed in front of me right after I took this pic.
