Xthrax Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Was out for a ride today. Tire went flat suddenly. Tried to inflate the tire, air goes right out. Not even sure how to replace the tire or diagnose the problem fully. Any helpful hints would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do a YT search on a Mten3(opps🥴) MCM5 teardown & either do a tube replacement or a puncture repair (same as bike tires) - your choice of poison. Once the repair is done, you can also slime it as an additional protection. Edited January 1, 2021 by Scottie888 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xthrax Posted January 1, 2021 Author Share Posted January 1, 2021 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KuzxQKTIXiw  Watched a video of a breakdown. This seems a bit over my head. I can unscrew and disconnect cables but the guy is discharging capacitors and making cuts into the adhesive around the wiring. Is there a place and have this done professionally? Maybe Gotway customer support? I dont think I have the tools or the skills to get to the tire ring.

Yffisch Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Yes, same happened to me now and today I was trying to make it ready for my tube replacement that I ordered. But I gave up. I may have the V1 without speakers and I felt it was impossible to get that wheel out of the box. I was going to buy a new wheel anyways this spring so I will well this to someone for a cheap price because of the flat tire. Next wheel has to be easier to replace the tubes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.S.: I owned a MCM5 V2 for years now and currently due for a tire change. And my another wheel is the recent generation of Inmotion V12. The new wheel definitely does NOT improve on the tire change aspect. #FacePalm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
