I'm looking forward to riding a 16X, someday, hopefully. You ride with @Marty Backe at times right? If som you might get a chance in a few months once he comes around and reads the awesomeness of review we give it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now, I've just yesterday received shipment from KS of the new board (ups to 12 247 MOS from 9 smaller MOS of the OG board) and new tire they're using on the production models, but ran into a few hitches, as the I've punctured the inner tube (unsuccessfully patched) when swapping out to the new tire (Jason to the rescue, as he's expressing out a new inner tube ), and frustratingly, they've drilled screw holes on this new board heatsink that are wider than the previous board *smh, so I had to audible and go out and get a longer screw/nut combo as a hack fix. *Ugh, all this effort for what is in the end not my wheel. Oh well, I will get my 2 cents out on how the new board/ride feels at some point I guess. Very interesting news on your end. A lot has been happening apparently. Wow, new control board and tire! Very much looking forward to your views Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just from that paragraph, here's two epic stories: My new 16X tire exploded, and what Kingsong is doing about it Upgrading 16X to 3.0 motherboard - DOESN'T FIT?! Thumbnail: green motherboard with giant arrows pointing to screw hole insert montage of drilling Why 3.0? Cause suckers like me will look for 2.0 on your playlist and end up watching a random clip of yours instead Btw, for those new here, this channel has some 🔥🔥🔥 content around the 16X.

Reviewers like yourself and Marty ( many others contribute as well) have given so much time and effort providing members with the pros and cons of each new wheel before it comes to market. Your comprehensive reviews( both written and video format) provides members with sound advice and guidance that allows them to make well informed decisions before purchasing a new model. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I dream of Marty changing this 16X board, and not me ) @chrisjunlee point taken, but those videos sound like a snoozefest to me, so hard for me personally to make those kind of vlogs, maybe for another YouTuber.

I bought a couple of meters several years ago to protect my mountain bike frame from rocks. It worked well. I still most of the roll.

That looks pretty awesome. Would love to see ~5mm silicone tape, I'm sure it exists in some niche industry. One of my rabbit hole favorite companies is 3M - I used to spend hours just geeking out over their spec sheets. One time, I contacted them about the differences between a couple of their reflective tapes. In response, they sent over like 10 different generous samples for me to try out. Hmm... I guess I'll e-mail them now. Edited July 19, 2019 by chrisjunlee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
