Working from home (due to covid-19) counts for the biggest increase jump. Once my straight leg (180 degrees bends to a 135degress I start to get slight control issue left knee. Going g down to 90 degrees makes it hard to lift/raise to straight. On the KS16X I need to bend even further so doing this makes it close to impossible to raise to standing in a controlled manner with only half a foot touching pedals. But I look forward for your videos. As for seat I know Inmotion are close to a solution according to Liam. The Inmotion seat will probably be OK for the masses, but I'm confident my solution will be better. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have announced an official InMotion seat is in the works/supposed to be coming fairly soon. No idea what it looks like or when it will be released, however. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Marty Backe Posted August 11, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 11, 2020 Here is my implementation for a seat on the V11. Having probably ridden at least 30-miles while seated on this wheel, I'm prepared to say that it's my most comfortable wheel yet made for seated riding. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finn Bjerke Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 When you fall maybe the seat will stop the tumbling and rotation of the wheel so there is no "tennis ball effect"? YES I wrote: "When you fall ........" It might hurt the trolley handle but bystanders will not be " EUC bowling pins?" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will be so happy going up and down overheat hill he just can't stop. and it will be the first ever to do it seated Btw my V11 is getting tracking status now. Expected delivery 13/8. And it is among the first 100 units made. It means Z bearing. But I am not too worried by it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unventor Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Now @Marty Backe about the V11. It seems you are fairly happy with it after all, and considering it is a pre-production version too. But in case you could only have 2 wheels. Would the V11 make that list right now? Reason why I say 2 wheels is you can select 2 very different wheels made for different purposes as no one wheel can do all superior to another. It is just too much compromise to have 1 wheel only. Now I know we ride different styles, places and weather. I decided to go get a RØDE wireæess Go mic kit (picking it up today or tomorrow) so I get more choices to filming once I get my V11. I think it will be very clear what and why I look things different to many riders. We shall see if this brings something new. Anyway like you style of videos Marty. But not really any point in doing similar style. So I try to make it different yet about EUC and mainly V11. My last few days riding in Denmark got me to learn a few things about the Insta360one R camera. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But not really any point in doing similar style. So I try to make it different yet about EUC and mainly V11. My last few days riding in Denmark got me to learn a few things about the Insta360one R camera. I wouldn't pick the V11. The only reason is the small battery. I wouldn't be able to ride the V11 on most of my group rides and even some mountain trail rides are off limits because I need to ride to the trail. It's a real pain that there can never be the perfect wheel. So we all will have to always pick and choose what features are most important to us. I'm very grateful that I'm not limited to a couple of wheels because the choices would be difficult to me. Right now my two wheels would probably be the Sherman (long rides) and the MSP (trails). 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YES I wrote: "When you fall ........" It might hurt the trolley handle but bystanders will not be " EUC bowling pins?" I already fell off the back of the V11 I was coming down a mountain road and going around a blind corner where the road stopped at a T intersection. I was prepared to roll through the stop sign and unexpectedly a car was approaching the intersection. I had to stop as fast as I could (not really possible when sitting) so I fell off the back and the wheel crashed on it's side. Fortunately I wasn't going too fast by the time I fell off the back, and you don't fall very far when you are sitting. It was mostly embarrassing No damage to the seat or handle. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
