For me I advance my right foot over the the front edge of the pedal and my left toe is on the edge of left front part of the pedal so I have more leverage for forward and breaking. Advantage for me to have right foot forward is it's easier to see the traffic over my left shoulder. Interesting. I've never heard of this. Basically, purposefully place your feet so that they are uneven. Hmmm. Not sure I fully understand what this is helping with, but could experiment. What kind of difference are we talking about? 1-inch, 3-inches, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At times he almost looks as though he is riding more in a sort of skateboard stance, by leading with one shoulder facing forward.

mrelwood Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 My experiences on offset (”2-axis”) feet positioning. I suppose it is to help in getting a bit more leverage for accelerating/braking especially on large wheels, but with my crooked legs it disturbs the side to side balance center point. Even if it wouldn’t, I felt it’s more of a thing for level ground. Any notable hills or obstacles yearn for a symmetrical setting. And unless you have seriously oversized bigfoot pedal extensions, your feet are already hanging off the edge of the pedals. So the gained leverage can be questioned. It might give more front to back balance though. Although, for level ground it’s not really needed in my mind, as the wheel already does that for us. Not to say it wouldn’t work for some riders, it just doesn’t for me. Doesn’t hurt to try (hopefully!)! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So when I need to accelerate, step on the right foot. To break use the left heel. It takes some time to get it use to but that's how I ride any more, works great on small pedal Mten3 for me. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another thing is you want to stand as wide as possible for stability, hardly touch the side pad of MSX like the MCM5. As with these wheels just need to practice. Watch how @houseofjob moves his feet around the pedal as he rides. I'm not quite there yet but I'm working on that too.

Multiple reports on Facebook showing the 100v chargers literally going up in smoke (on video). One guy got a replacement 100v charger and it too burned up.

Electroman Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 (edited) 2 hours ago, nte said: Not sure if this is helpful, no idea where the original source vid is. That kind of sucks, so 100v need aftermarket chargers then for now or do they know what is causing them to burn and what to do just to minimize any chances of it happening? So the videos for MSX start to really take off now and even 100v MSX videos available, hmmm... Despite 100v burnt chargers I really want a 84v/1600Wh vs 100v/1230Wh shootout asap Edited August 1, 2018 by Electroman 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually plug the brick into the wall and then the wheel, but it doesn't matter. It's good either way. I use the Gotway app and WheelLog that are listed on my YouTube videos (see my Signature below). If you're on iOS I can't help you. Tire pressure is very personal, but at 80kg I filled mine to the max listed on the tire (45-psi). The pedal stiffness is very easy to change. Try them all and find what you like. I ride at the stiffest (hard/Sport) setting. But when I cruising, sometimes I'll switch to the soft mode because I like how it feels (like you're in a car with real soft shocks). You get better gas mileage in the soft mode too. Turn off the first two alarms (click the 1st Alarm button, then the 2nd). I turn tilt-back off. But I would suggest you first set it to something like 10-km/h just so you can experience the tilt-back and know how it affects you when it occurs. Then either turn it off or set it to the speed that you don't want to exceed. The MSX is so fast you can find yourself going faster then you really want to Good luck, and let me know how you're enjoying the wheel. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrelwood Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Converting to tubeless takes enough work for me to avoid doing so until I’m certain I’d appreciate the benefits in added comfort. I Gooped my MSX tube, no issues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
