How recognize this models by red butttons on display? The new rim is brand new. They just finished testing it and had to make the pedal hangers wider to accommodate it. Im pretty sure they will be shipping with black buttons. Red button on top will have higher pedal hangers I think, but not the new rim(?) I'm currently waiting on my sherman from ewheels. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The boat is expected at Port on the 4th, and then has to get unloaded customs etc. There is also rumor the port is backed up. So it could be a few weeks after it reaches port before the wheels are unloaded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to say when it shipped out since tracking was iffy. I received it about 2 weeks ago in April 2021. I put some calipers on the rim and it shows 60mm wide. It is a red button model. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r_713 Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 What are the real world differences of having the new wider rim vs the previous narrower rim? Stronger but less nimble? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stronger but less nimble? Supposedly it should fit the tyre better. SEveral riders have reported bad fitting of the tyre causing it to "wobble" (not being perfectly seated in the beads) as a result of the rim diameter being to small vs the tyre inner diameter. I dont see how a wider rim can fix a too small diameter, but maybe as the tyre is allowed to flare out a bit more it might get easier to get more spot on, though i doubt it. So I will still ride in high PSIs when my wide rim sherm arrives in a month. Last thing i want is a tyre rolling of the rim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..... Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 (edited) My v1 rim never had a problem. I now have a v2 rim. I think the newer rim doesnt bunch the tire as much and has better shoulder spacing. I run 20psi on the old rim/off road tire. I now run 20psi on new rim and pirelli (80/80/14). I found that approx 85-86mm is as wide as the sherman wheel well is. Technically, the rim could fit MUCH wider. 3" = roughly 76mm. A true 3" tire (at widest tread), will easily fit in width of the sherman wheel opening.

I have a few questions if you're happy to answer them? Do you prefer this over the stock tyre? How is the turning and cornering? Do you find it tramlines and drifts like a Z10? Does this increase or decrease the outer diameter of the tyre and does this make a difference to felt speed or torque? Do you find it is slippery in corners on suboptimal road surfaces? Does this inspire more confidence in your riding over the stock tyre or encourage you to avoid gravel, mud etc where possible? Thanks 👍😊👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks 👍😊👍 Measurements are stated in my vid of how I changed tire and rim. I've never ridden a z10 so I cant comment on that. Yes, I like it more than the stock offroad, or I would have changed it back. Edited August 20, 2021 by ShanesPlanet 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
