Since the Teslas upper pad bothers you, you will LOVE ACM2. I didn't know how good ACM2 was (always liked it) until I've increased the stable and tried other wheels. Even though ACM2 looks dated when you ride it, it's virtues stands out. Only thing about the ACM2 is the pedal height, you need to watch out for but as of late I'm not scraping it as much as I used to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am glad I traded the 18S for the ACM... now that wheel takes some real commitment to get used too... it's all about time... mrelwood had quite the evolution on his new wheel (MSX), went from hatred to spokesman...

I probably agree... the only thing is if I really love the ACM with the 1600 WH, that would be my distance wheel which is not something I do frequently, so we will see... not a money thing, just if i will use it or not, and I want to see if I fall in love with the Z also... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 (edited) Good thing my username isn't Marka Marka Burning Love or else I'd have to keep up with the Mar's brothers wheel buying spree. Mar-k Lee, Mar-ty, Mar-cglider. The rest of us non-Mars keep only a few wheels in our arsenal.

When I got the Tesla first, this answer was not that definite, because I still like the MSuper V3s+ as much as the Tesla. They are two sides of a coin.

Mike Paolini Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 15 hours ago, Marty Backe said: I think 25-mph is the top-end of this wheel, so you'll be on the hairy edge to achieve that, and you better not have any headwind and 80-percent battery might be too low already. I use WheelLog to monitor my speed (which still uses Gotway's telemetry). I would use a speedometer app to get a more accurate speed. The MCM5 is a very fast 14-inch wheel, but if your goal is to be traveling at 25-mph, it's not the wheel of choice. I think you are about right Marty, I've hit 26/27mph on the GPS with the triple beep engaging pretty consistently (and that's on a 210-230 pound payload in my testing), and frankly that's too fast for my blood on such a wheel anyway as I ride with a higher tire pressure, and bumps in the road and such can cause your feet to left from the peddles (and with nothing to grip with the calves...) anyway I'm happy keeping the speed to about 22 on the MCM5. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
