Every "big" wheel I've ever ridden wants to wobble under emergency braking until you 1) you grasp the dynamics and 2) nip the oscillation in the bud with a pre-emptive squeeze high and back on the frame. The MSX, Z10, Monster and 18XL want to behave like this in my experience but can all be tamed. I was wondering if this was normal under hard braking. I just assumed it was something I would have to get used to. My Z10 and Monster both want to wobble under hard braking. I am going to try the high squeeze you mention with my Monster, but I am gun shy about it on the Z10. I got bucked from it trying to get the brake wobble out by squeezing the case not long ago.

Girth Brooks Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 @MRN76 I would like to purchase your unlock. I do not have or use Facebook though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guillaume Geneste Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 @MRN76 I'm really interested to unlock my speed! I'm really experimented on my Z10 and other unicycles and wearing my motorcycle gear for riding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GyroRideRz Posted February 15, 2019 Author Share Posted February 15, 2019 (edited) On 1/29/2019 at 9:07 AM, who_the said: I have ridden almost 300 miles on this unlocked firmware, about 100 of that after unlocking to 34.1 mph about a week ago. The Z10 has been super solid, absolutely nothing sketchy whatsoever at either unlock level. No problems at speed even over bumps, ruts or moderate potholes. This unlock allows the wheel to perform adequately at its rated speed (~ 28 mph), which out of the box it does not, beeping and tilting north of 25. I'm prepared to recommend this unlock, but only to expert riders who 1) ride with full gear (anybody riding at 30+ needs helmet and gear — period) and 2) can feel and know how to respond to feedback from their wheel's motor. One of the great things about the Z10 is the physical feedback from its motor. It always lets you know when it's working hard, either under acceleration or braking (which is much improved from the prototype in the current firmware). You feel sort of a buzzing, a stepping, a rhythmic pulse that lets you know the motor is working. At speed approaching or exceeding 30 mph on any wheel, be sure to practice your hard braking and downhills. Every "big" wheel I've ever ridden wants to wobble under emergency braking until you 1) you grasp the dynamics and 2) nip the oscillation in the bud with a pre-emptive squeeze high and back on the frame. The MSX, Z10, Monster and 18XL want to behave like this in my experience but can all be tamed. Thanks @MRN76 for your work on the firmware, much appreciated! Truly "unlocks" the potential of this very cool and unique wheel. Totally agree. I would add that you have to constantly getting focus on the road and ride being prepared to see something appears sunddently in front of you. Doing this is a great way to prevent emergency brake in case of danger. @MRN76 is my hero :-D Edited February 15, 2019 by GyroRideRz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javierito Gar Costinha Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 woah so much written .. im very late... Im testing the Z6 and i unlocked the speed limit to 46 to avoid the noise of the limit. i was worried about overleaning forward or something like that and got 44.3Km/h and it was "hard for me to faster" at that moment. i felt like woah, im not reaching this speed in most of my tracks and now i have avoided the annoying noise. now i see that this topic explains much better than me the same feelings and for the moment my Z6 is very well, havent noticed battery decrease or so, im very happy, but of course, i have been ridin 2-3 years and the hack isnt for everybody. if the Z is your 1st wheel Dont apply the hack... because for example in my case in some curves i went almost out of the road and i work as a segway trainer/tourist guide and i see a lot of dumb people. Anyway i believe wheelers know by themselfs if they can do it or not. Im still testing... i shouldnt because i dont have all the protections but im gonna try again, to be honest i dont pretend to stablish another record, i am ok with my Z16 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fremalea Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 can not wait to test, only I still can not contact @MRN76 because of the limitations ... My Z10 is hungry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GyroRideRz Posted February 18, 2019 Author Share Posted February 18, 2019 Guys you should read this before choosing the base version of the modified firmware you will choose to use : Personnaly, i'm back to the 1.0.0 based firmware Z8 55km/h.

I have had the same thing on my way back from work about a 15 degree decent my wheel went on to a nasty wobble I was wetting my pant managed to slow down but it felt like it went on for ever I had a nasty fall / highside afew weeks ago still nursing a sore shoulder 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's owned a lot of wheels and he's ridden more than any particular handful of us combined, so his thoughts on the subject come from a lot of experience. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
