So far, I have 8 miles on it... LOL I wish I had access to a long narrow hallway. Nice progression. You're definitely well ahead of me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrie Lim Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 So finally after two busy days, I’ve finally had the chance to ride my 16X for the first time on a long ride. Chose a route that brought my group up a steep hill and the wheel performed flawlessly, there was a light drizzle prior to this so I didn’t wanna push the wheel too much. The lights on this thing is pretty bright for the dark trails we rode on. And the tires handled the slightly wet metal grill like bridge as we descended the hill. Im still trying to get use to the tire as well. Everytime I turn, it will sort of snap me back to upright position once I’m done with the turn. Uneven surfaces seemed more pronounced as well as the wheel kinda wobbles when going over them. Perhaps I need more time to get use to the wheel, or perhaps I need a change of tires to the newer ones kingsong is putting on the current batch of 16Xs 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am very happy the 16x is not as big as I imagined it was going to be after riding/ trying out others 18XL and Nikola. Comparing the tire on you picture just ozzes this is a different league of wheel. My V8 served its purpose, my learning wheel, I doubt I would ride one again, so much have happen the last 1.5 years... Just as the V8 was huge step forward when it was released compared to wheels before its time. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lowered my tire PSI to 30 and this quite happening for me. I am 190 lbs with gear on. I have seen others that have lowered even more but are also lighter weight.

You'll get used to it soon and have yet another skill in your toolbox Try 25 PSI, that's how much I would bump up my 16X if I were to do a heavy errand run. Also put in tire sealant. 32 minutes ago, prasket said: I lowered my tire PSI to 30 and this quite happening for me. I am 190 lbs with gear on.

For my weight of 137 lbs, I needed to take it down to 18 PSI until the tire broke in. Contrast to the CST, where I'm running 28 PSI right off the bat.

Garrie Lim Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 A little speed test on my 2nd ride with my 16X Did not turn on my Garmin, but rather was using my Strava app on my Apple Watch instead. Kingsong app states 48.9kph whilst Strava was more generous at 54.7kph. I’m more inclined to believe the kingsong app. Also so I think I did hear the “please decelerate” announcement but I wasn’t sure despite listening out for it. Was not wearing PPE today so did not wanna push my luck. Wheel was at around 80V when tested. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First thing, my pedal float got a lot worse. After the BT firmware update, I was very rarelt getting random pedal tilt, so long as I didn't play music. Now my petals seem to be changing posture pretty much all the time. I tried horizontal gyro calibration twice. On a positive notr, I tried a very steep hill. Previously, it was hard work to get up it. With 1.05 it was easy. Nice improvement. Have you done the latest USB update? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garrie Lim Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Does anyone know if the 50kph speed is hardwired into the system or can you go past it? The speed settings allow u to set tiltback above 50kph so I’m wondering if anyone has went above 50kph so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sliders go to 60...but any Settings above 50 will not get confirmed! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
