andmed Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Hi! I have got a new MTEN, 512W version and I like I have one issue though. When standing on one leg only, I hear some extra noice like plastic getting in touch with the wheel. No sound when on two legs This sound was from the very beginning and I can find no visible defect, the wheel is spinning freely normally This is my first wheel, I wonder is this normal. how it sounds My weight is less than 70 kg, not that much 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erk1024 Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Some people have this problem on the Kingsong 18L / 18XL. The body flexes enough to cause some rubbing on the tire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alcatraz Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 I'm not familiar with the Mten but you can check the bolts holding the shell to the pedal supports. If it only happens on one side you might need to check that the axle is straight and that the pedal supports are parallell. You can try and manipulate the shell by bolting it down in the opposite angle of the tire rub angle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lirva Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 It's happening to me too, but I can feel the shell flexing a bit and i'm 100kg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neon EUC Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 This is normal on most wheels to be fair. If you do one leg riding your going to flex the shell causing stress making it bend and it will run against the wheel hub. Personally I don't do one wheel riding as it's not good for the wheel. Never heard any bad problems arise from it to be fair tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andmed Posted June 13, 2020 Author Share Posted June 13, 2020 Thanks everyone! This is my first wheel so I was riding on one foot while learning, a bit. I see this noise is not a problem, really, very glad there is nothing to worry about! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
