I know you get 0-20deg dihedral adjustment on the NyloNove pedals and TBH that's all I really care about. On the teardown video posted (GoGeorgeGo one) they mention that there is no dihedral adjustment, so not for stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accept I had S20 pre order, August 2021... then Master... then V13... then Sherman S. FedEx said it will be delivered Sunday. Which means I'm staying home all day for my Sherman S. There’s still time to change your mind! Seriously though, you’re going to thank yourself that you saved yourself a whole lot of trouble by changing your mind, there are so many issues that come with the ones you cancelled, albeit that when they do eventually work as they are meant to, then money and time and trouble aside I expect they’re decent rides, but why put yourself through all that, when you’re paying for the ‘pleasure’ in any event? Most you might have to do with your S is possibly to swap out pads and pedals for your preferred contact point preferences, and possibly make or obtain a seat something like Go George Go’s friend Jason’s Sur Ron adapted and flip up example. A little bit of bump padding here and there, and off you go! Good luck on Sunday, must be like Xmas all over again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forwardnbak Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 i saw in our aussie group today that a new sherman s went for a swim in a deep river. Such a shame. Not sure about all the details yet. I saw some footage of the wheel after, I will try to get info and see how it holds up. Shame was just unlucky accident in bad place i think 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The suspension rubbing on the inside is a little concerning but i guess only time will tell on that. The funny part of the video is when he says "make sure you know what your doing when it comes to electrical" after saying "DC current does tend to throw you" He was close....definitely close, just opposite.

The stock dihedral angle is a little much for me. TBH though I don't think I would decrease the angle on the stock pedals as the traction isn't great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clem604 Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 (edited) Here is a video on the E-Rides pedals for the Sherman S. I like the look of them and I'm definitely considering these although I'm leaning more towards the Nylonove pedals due to their lighter weight. Either way I hope more options get released so we aren't just choosing between the two . Edited January 7, 2023 by Clem604 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like those quite a bit, however I'm going to wait and see what leaperkims updated pedal looks like as I'd probably be able to get them for little to no cost. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I've read that LK are going to revise the pedals in some way and I'm curious as to if the changes will make its way onto my batch 2 wheel. I'm certain I'll still get aftermarket pedals regardless but I would probably want to donate them to a member here if they bought a batch 1 and couldn't get the updated pedals.

I haven't seen any mention of problems from WrongWay and he does ride in 0 deg & below weather in Poland/Canada. I'm guessing that they are fine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did 40 miles today and the dihedral angle of the stock pedals is killing me. I have flat feet so I need flat pedals. I would much rather be able to adjust that angle than have the ratcheting mechanism. I hope they can get this right. The suspension on this wheel is amazing. It's taking me time though to get used to the height and the weight. I felt especially unstable in wind on this wheel (probably didn't help that I'm 6'8". Going from 33psi down to 28psi in the tire helped alot with stability. I also turned down the compression and rebound 4 clicks. This made the wheel ride lower, squishier and more stable.. I have 2 questions: 1. What should I do with suspension settings for maximum stability? I was thinking low compression and low rebound, but I'm not sure. 2. What's the lowest tire pressure I can run and still safely p off curbs? (7-10 inch drop). I'm 230lbs geared up 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good question that a slow motion video might assist with. I've been meaning to do this myself, film the tire coming off a curb and bonking up as well. The sidewall stiffness varies quite a bit between tires, so I'm not certain there's a solid 'rule' that applies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post wstuart Posted January 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 8, 2023 It worked! The Suron seat from my Sherman Max fits surprisingly well. It also made the trolley handle stiffer and much more functional 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superox Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 I'm considering upgrading to a big suspension wheel come springtime, but worry because I live on the second floor in a house without an elevator. Sherman and similar wheels with handles at both ends and not in the center are also notoriously hard to carry up stairs. So I wonder: could I trolley or push a Sherman S up stairs to my apartment? Each step is 14 cm in height and 30 cm in depth, so about 25 degree angle. The steps are made of somewhat worn concrete. If you're able to push your wheel up and down stairs instead of carrying, then could you measure how tall and wide the steps on it are?

I just like that they are CNC with plenty of spikes for traction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
