I've been getting by on all my uni's with a bicycle pump that has a t-connector fitting both schrader and presta valves, but its never worked great and I think I'm going to need something more precise when my V11 arrives. Thanks! Happy to have pump recommendations from others also. It's the pump that comes with the wheel. you don't need to buy it. It comes included with the wheel. But I think that High PSI pump is only for the suspension and you are not supposed to use that for the tyre Edited July 15, 2020 by VizioN-Scope 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musk Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 (edited) If a rider decoupled the left & right suspensions so that each foot moved independently, would there be any case where it would be a positive?

The “saddle” moves as one piece. So feet would not move independently. That scenario would probably just be working worse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, I imagine it could reduce the rider's authority over the wheel, since a lot of maneuvering involves shifting weight to one side, and independent suspensions would likely dampen such inputs to the wheel. I'm not sure I can think of any particularly compelling reasons we would want to decouple the left and right suspensions. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you twist this around... If you did this what would you hope to achieve with it? Bare in mind you only have one contact point with the ground, a small patch of tire. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I was thinking this exactly - we only have one contact point, and the forces we are trying to dampen are only coming through that one point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That scenario would probably just be working worse. I'm looking at how the aluminum bar of each side's suspension is bolted into a shared bracket underneath the saddle top. I think if those bolts were removed, each foot would move independently. 19 minutes ago, Unventor said: If you twist this around... If you did this what would you hope to achieve with it? Bare in mind you only have one contact point with the ground, a small patch of tire. The only thing I could come up with is on turns. In a hard turn, would it be possible to apply more body weight to the outside foot for some unknown advantage (like less pedal scrape on the inside foot, for example). I think it would be possible to do this. It would be akin to riding single-footed in corners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to over-react.. why does every little hickup have to be followed with a threat to cancel ones pre-order? pedal height too high - cancel pre-order negative chamber adjustment not disclosed - cancel pre-order plastic piece and a couple of screws missing on 1 wheel - cancel pre-order get a grip folks and trust the process.. first batch wheels will have challenges, you trusted your gut when you pre-ordered, dont chicken out now and dont threaten to do so. If you feel that is whats best for you, by all mean go ahead and cancel... but dont spread your panic here. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If other wheels have the same problem then cancelling our orders is completely justified - not overreaction. I am very concerned, and I am waiting for reports from others.

Because as you can see here in my photo this we just a screw on my pre-prod unit... as least that’s how it looked when i unscrewed it: 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Patton250 Posted July 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 15, 2020 So we’ve had a drought in my area for quite some time. You couldn’t buy rain. Just got my V 11.
