smash Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 I’ve been told by some that enabling high speed mode decreases torque. Can anyone confirm? And if so, would you know by how much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOW im getting comfortable with that Shinko tire on my Master, so having it on my Sherman S might be a good choice. Is 244 on the Sherman S handle good at high speeds or is the stock knobby better in that regard. The stock knobby feels planted in many cases but hard to turn when i reach 25 miles hr. Anyone know if there is an "easy" way to install a tire on this or piont me to a video for it? Try this method with whichever you choose, the idea behind it (making the inner circumference larger) makes sense, even the inner tube can be put into the tyre, so long as you orientate it for the valve hole, and leave a little wriggle room, sorry I didn’t press send earlier, having read about your tube pinch: 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you using motorcycle tire tools by any chance? They aren’t suitable for tubed EUC tires, as you learned. Plastic bicycle tire spoons and tire lube are your best bet. Best sources for EUC tubes are EUC shops. Trying to find suitable tubes from anywhere else has cost me hours of work without a single result.

No it does not, torque is the same, we don't know for sure but most likely high speed mode is field weakening which means at higher speeds there is less torque but it's nothing that you will notice, the tradeoff and takeaway would be faster battery drain due to higher current draw (if you ride fast).

Several outlets here in U.K., ironic really, given that they’re more legal Stateside than here! E-Rides have a selection of sizes available.

I have 4 parts so far and obviously ended it after pinching the tube . lol.

If you already put an tubeless tire on then why not simply put a tl valve and you are tubeless....only buy an 8.3mm tubeless valve 90 degree angled and you are set....sherman s rim is perfect for it, ive done exactly this (no need for sealant or anything else, it works with any pump, even an handpump) You then have nothing but benefits, no pinching tubes anymore, even smoother ride perfectly centered tire possible , lower or higher psi whatever you want. Valve costs like 10 bucks on amaz...for example Edited July 12, 2023 by onkeldanuel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When i get to like 30 mph , i feel that the wheel is grabbing me to the right a lot. Other than that, the ride is stable My stock Kenda kobby stock tire felt super wobbly and unstable until it broke in. At about 300 miles carving became so so much easier and predictable.

Also i cant be certain but it also looks like you had the cordless drill going the wrong direction to loosen the shell bolts. However i would always suggest not using power tools when working on the wheel, there are to many small screws to strip/break. You should get yourself a good set of t-handle allens. It takes a little longer but the chance of breaking or stripping things goes way down. Thanks for sharing though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The description says that it has a proper beam cutoff, is brighter, and has a wider beam than the stock headlight. I'm buying this as soon as it comes back in stock. I'll post some pics whenever I actually get it. The "Cyclop" light has just been made available so I ordered one. It will be here in a week or so, so I'll post up some comparison pics with the stock headlight. I hope it's a big upgrade because it wasn't cheap 😅 Edited July 13, 2023 by Clem604 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll have to compare closer next time I’m with my buddy’s Patton. We were riding together at an unlit turf field one night and there was a HUGE difference in output. Wondering if it was just a difference in brightness setting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the motorcycle tools are often a cause for ruined tubes for people who don’t have your expertise. Besides, they aren’t needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDINPHX Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Let’s be clear no expertise here! most of the tyre levers Come with rim protectors as well, looks like garden hosed you can pry in and not scratch/chip the rim. . I suspect most are trying to get to big of a bit with the spoon, instead of working in small areas and likely using minimal Lube. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks to me like it comes with its own beeper pre-installed on the rear, and I can't really imagine they would allow you to lose this important for safety aspect of their installation!
