Popular Post WARPed1701D Posted July 30, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 30, 2018 The best option here is a per wheel setting to correct wheel rotational distance. Set the correction amount and it is applied to the reported wheel value to get the displayed value for distance and speed. As already mentioned having the app do it on the fly would just result in inaccuracy from carving, bends etc during normal riding. It would be best to ride a known distance (100m running track) in a straight line, observe the reported wheel distance, and calculate the correction value. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just used 5km to calculate correction to upload to wheel so it could use new more accurate value, of course for those who choose to do so. The important part is option of choice. I rather have reliable mileage as to me this calculate into speed to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Unventor Posted August 4, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 4, 2018 @US69 just a thought on the trolly handle.I practically never use the trolly handle fully extended. To me it would have been perfect to have a thicker material handle extention that only reach to the first lock possition. I would imagine this would make the handle more stiff and better to cope with the weight of the wheel. Plus the lesser joints the lesser risk of lift sensor mis reading. I would simply put like to have shorter 1 posittion lock extentiuon rather the 2 possition and then have a massiver 1 tube extention if you like. It is not that the handle is bad, I just would feel it as better build quality with less movement in trolly handle. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second level is overkilled and has too much play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second level is overkilled and has too much play. I disagree... I am 6'3" and with the handle in the lower position I can just reach it without bending - which is fine when you walk your wheel along right next to you. But in a narrow space I need the handle on the top position to walk the wheel in front of me without stooping. Perhaps I just have stumpy t-rex arms? And while I love the height of it, I do agree that it feels a little "loose" when fully extended. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A coating actually exists. Inmotion listen up: Starting dipping the V10’s into a vat of this substance before shipping. It will cure your moisture infiltration issues while providing a shell that physically restores itself if subjected to abrasive occurrences. __________________________________________________________________________________ The coating is made of a mix of a material called "fluorinated polyurethane elastomer" ( FPE) and a specialized water-repellent molecule known as "F-POSS." It can be easily sprayed onto virtually any surface and has a slightly rubbery texture that makes it more resilient than its predecessors. Waterdrop animation courtesy of Anish Tuteja If it is damaged, the coating can heal itself hundreds of times. It can bounce back "even after being abraded, scratched, burned, plasma-cleaned, flattened, sonicated and chemically attacked," the researchers wrote in a paper recently published in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces. In addition to recovering physically, the coating can heal itself chemically. If water-repellent F-POSS molecules are scraped from the surface, new molecules will naturally migrate there to replace them. That's how the coating can renew itself hundreds of times. Its healing ability is limited only by its thickness.

cbgti Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 I think that it could be a good idea to make a new version of the trolley with only 2 positions like before... The KS18L is higher than the previous models like the Ks16... It should be ok for most of us (and more rigid and solid). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm holding my purchase of KS18L, waiting for huge pedals AS I recall it it was rumoured to come, but was then officially said it will happen on new wheels maybe. As in Kingsong heard the feedback and request but will make this a feature in new wheels going forward. My speculation is that we might see this in a KS18XL or KS18L Mark II or whatever next option will be called. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure on that wheel, but I think they are in stock and received before the Tariff so if he sells out and has to order more stock (I am guessing you are getting it from ewheels), the price will go up as you are seeing on other wheels on his site... I am also under the impression the pedals are to be sold as an accessory so they are separate and in addition to the wheel purchase, I may be incorrect, best to shoot Jason an email...
