@iamsomewhere I'm a fair weather rider, so my board rarely gets wet except the occasional puddle. My Vega lasted 1500 miles and could've gone further, but I wanted to try a treaded tire, so I put on a FF 6.0 Hoosier and just love it! My board charges and rides like the day I bought it (well, except the much improved tire!).

Did I read that you are from the Czech Republic? Because I used to manage a group out there, so I was going to Brno 3 or 4 times a year for the last 5 years before I retired in January.

@iamsomewhere I have over 1600 miles on my + . . . I'd buy that deal in a minute! It's a great machine.

@SirCarvesAlot said in Laying Down Carves:

Hi @OneDan , have you had the chance to try any other aftermarket tires other than the Vega and FF 6.0?

No, I took a chance on the Hoosier from Flight Fins because it was sized for the OneWheel and I didn't want too much curve in the tire, as you noted it would require more sideways balancing (I can still balance when stopped, though it is a bit harder). I really like the way it sticks to the road better and doesn't slip as much in wet grass, leaves, or mud. I carve almost the entire time I ride and with the treaded tire, it feels like my "snowboard" has sharpened edges. I don't think I really get over onto the edge of the tire, nor do I really want to.

@freshbread Agree! I did the same on my + and will soon put a FF 6.0 on my XR.

@HanahsDax Same, I keep it around 20. Took maybe 100 miles to burn off the little burrs sticking out of the tire (initially I was cutting them off, but decided it didn't matter), but now it's smooth, no more rubbing.

@HanahsDax Same here, almost 1600 on my Vega and it could've gone further, but I also kept it at 20 psi and more like 75/25 street/trail riding (I'm 185 lbs). I agree, check psi often. I've also replaced with the FF 6.0 and I love it. Way better traction, even on the street, especially through mud and wet grass or leaves. I'm no longer worried that the board will slip out from under me in those situations, which I've had happen with the Vega and would always avoid them.

@fruitygreen Hahaaaaaa . . . as long as you were jacking it up, you shoulda added some shocks!!! Looks cool, but yeah, getting closer to how you have to balance on a unicycle, so I can see how it would be much more prone to both nose AND tail dives!

@greengorilla Should've said "seriously though, when can we get it?".

Add the Simplestop option to this list!

For the record, my note on the Simplestop feature:

Also, the lean back stop feature seems like something that could be added to the + and XR firmware as an option.

:D

And now we know it's an option on the Pint, so hopefully they'll bring it back to the other boards.
