But with my luck I properly get it by 2031....with a storage bill attached Given the few updates and some of the idiosyncrasies that occur during the process I myself would rather be involved. That way I’m always assured that the updates are properly installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The closer you get to the max performance the higher risk you get for a possible cutoff or loss of balance as the wheel can't keep up. And to you seem like more power available, might not be the same for a bigger person causing more wind drag resistance. Perfect. I'm 6'2, 200 pounds. I've been testing and checking the motor limits thru the app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tire discussion is really confusing to them.. I recommended they use CYT, but thy said the no name brand they use for early production models are indeed made by thesame company that makes the CYT tire. They may switch to CTS 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are steps I personally wouldn’t skip at my home lab, but they get 80% of the way there. Good to know the conformal coating wasn’t my imagination. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have failed badly. Who in their right mind would want to get off this wheel after just one mile? In all likelihood they've made a wheel that will make people late for work after they go on a detour. 11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like eta more deco options and such? They are very much focused on getting the FW update right.. and getting it to the customers so they can start enjoying the wheel. The seat was really soft though. I tried riding and seating, even though I am not a big seat and ride person, and it seems fine to me. Oh I also saw a red KS18S, like the one @houseofjob rides.. looks nice 👍🏾 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suntory hasn't shipped the stuff in nearly a year. The islands received one large shipment and I'm told that's it for the year. Now, this is REALLY off topic. Sorry, couldn't resist when I saw you changed your account to Hibiki. Good taste! Ok, to get back on topic...Jason (and FedEx) says I should receive my 16X tomorrow, no later than 8:00PM. I'll do FW update immediately. Cheers with Hibiki Harmony btw, for those of you haven't got the 16X like you and @CampDylan. you might get lucky to have CYT H-5167 tire pre-installed by KS.

eucinsea Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 (edited) Just got a notice from FedEx mine will be here Thursday, I am so excited. I took off Friday to go on a nice long ride.

Popular Post BleepBloopBlop Posted August 21, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 21, 2019 (edited) Careful out there. Not saying it's the new firmware but the wheel cutout completely after hitting the top speed beeps/tiltback tonight. I am 750 miles deep on the 16x and never had cutout issues until today and I was riding on smooth flat ground. Gear up!

Popular Post Charles McLean Posted August 21, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 21, 2019 Holy Bejeezus! That looks like it hurt. I think we've all been there at some point. I hardly ride anywhere anymore without wrist guards since I did the same thing to my palms last year. I hope you heal quickly. Keep us updated on the cutout and whether or not you think the firmware is responsible. What was your top speed on the 16X before it cut out? How much do you weigh? 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyfur Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 @BleepBloopBlop holy crap are you alright my dude? I thought this was a joke with red paint at first. Don't think I'm ever going to risk riding without wrist guards now.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
