My wheel arrives tomorrow and I’m vacillating back and forth about enhancing the current OEM rubber foot pads with strategically placed grip tape. I did have my foot almost slip off the pedal during a tight turn. Now I'm more conscious of keeping my feet planted on the pedals as a result, and it hasn't happened since. Nobody else has mentioned it, but I'm getting some squeaks from the body of the V10F on sharp turns when I'm putting some weight on the body with my lower legs...

I think the biggest reason I'm interested in experimenting with different surfaces is just being able to feel more connected to the wheel. I prefer the feeling of my foot bones being attached to the metal of the pedal. ?♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rode for a few hours yesterday, and I have to say that the pedals are amazing. I didn’t have any slippage at all. I assume if you have shoes that don’t have soft rubber you might get some slippage, but really not a big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the longer you leave customers to their own devices with a product launch, the more it will devolve into a debauchery of speculation! ??

Jeffrey Scott Will Posted May 9, 2018 Author Share Posted May 9, 2018 I never said they weren't good - it's just one of the areas that I would change a little if I could. I think for most people, it's actually the best solution because of how comfortable they are. It's only under the absolute most challenging situations that you may want something else IMO.

When @Marty Backe stated that his feet slipped off the pedals during his review I knew this would be one change I would want to make. No I am not adding spikes this time but I am comfortable when my feet are anchored to the pedals with a high quality grip tape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Scott Will Posted May 10, 2018 Author Share Posted May 10, 2018 @Rehab1 wasting no time at all! ? I have a bit of an update on my modding attempts as well. Turns out G2/G3/V8 pedals aren't totally compatible with V10. The spacers are too wide, which isn't a deal breaker as I could just removed them to make it fit... but there is also not enough clearance for the hinge to allow the pedals to fold up. So it needs a little machining before I could consider it an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll do a write up tonight about the fabrication process. A bit harder than I initially envisioned. The custom silicone protective covers keep the grip tape from scratching the plastic shell when the pedals are in their upright position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UniVehje Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 @Jeffrey Scott Will Now I understand exactly what you mean by the footboard sensitivity setting on your review. What a difference it makes! Along with pedal adjustment. It’s like having springs. It also somehow increases sensitivity and stability and reactiveness. I didn’t go all the way to the other side. I felt good at around 2300 and horizontal pedal adjustment at 3.8. So much more comportable and fun now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayRay Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 We've got the InMotion guys all working overtime on the V10/F launch. They're missing out on the bioluminescent phytoplankton (glowing algae) going on near their San Diego headquarters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hey, i absolutely love this wheel. if my wheels had a miss wheel america contest, my v10f would win hands down. i’m not knocking my other wheels, they are very good wheels, every one of them, but this is my first inmotion and they have hit it out of the park. keep up the good work. if u can only afford one wheel, this is all u need. update. the download did go thru, i updated and everything looks correct. woo woo!

TechShizzle Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 The issue I’m having with lowering the pedal sensitivity is that it feels “sloppy” in that the body rolls forward and backwards about 1/4”-1/2” before the motor starts to roll. Makes the wheel feel loose to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rok Tomažin Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 I preordered V10 (not F). I hope I didn’t make a noticable mistake reffering to power and acceleration. @Jeffrey Scott Will? Is there a noticable difference between 1800 and 2000? Range is not a problem. 300 € was too much but now I’m being worried ?. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TechShizzle Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 When I go to adjust the turning and forward adjustment I get an error that says it’s not enabled. iOS 11.4, iPhone X. At this point I haven’t noticed that changing the footboard sensitivity does anything at all. Also, I adjusted the sensitivity and the body of the wheel still rolls forward and backwards about a quarter inch before the wheel motor itself starts to turn. My V8 didn’t do this, and I’m starting wonder if I’ve got something loose somewhere (axle nuts or something). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so noticeable when you are riding, but if I am on the wheel and hold onto a light pole or similar structure and rock a little back and forth on the wheel, I can definitely notice some “play” in the V10 drive system. I don’t get any of that same play on my King Songs, but it really doesn’t effect me much when riding the V10 under normal conditions. So I think it is just an the nature of this wheel.
