Yes. I was expecting it to be the last screen, but then this screen popped up and I was turning something on and off.

I think the confidence and comfort really made the difference shown in his lap times. Even on a slightly less powered wheel, the right tire will just make you perform that much better. He probably gained all that time on the cornering with the sherman-s with shinko 244 tire. Throw an aftermarket tire on the master or ex30 and it will be a much more fair comparison imo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did make me start searching Shinko 244 as my SS arrives in a few weeks. Kind of irrelevant as at my stage (less than 200 miles mileage) I won’t be pushing the beeps on any wheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiwiMark Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Clearly any EUC can be crashed it you really try. That video showed a wheel that was not at a ridiculous angle to the ground, but it might have been >45 to the horizon - that's where the safety feature cuts the wheel power because it seems to have fallen over. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tasku Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 (edited) Yes, he turns into slope, then align to that said slope and hits the 45 degree limit. So, not a real cutout, just something even veteran/experienced riders can sometimes get reminded off. I also think George knew this, but did put the title as "cutout". The angles provided by camera does not help understand the angles involved, most people know it if they work with cameras. A fixed camera angle in right spot could have shown the angles involved better. *edit: I often find BMX tracks or such having lot of curving angles (the trail goes to wall-like) and they also surprise so many. You just can't ride that angle if the device turns off in the degree limit of 45. Edited February 18, 2023 by Tasku Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrelwood Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 It doesn’t look to be anywhere near 45 degrees to me. You can see the slope of the grass section a few seconds earlier, and it looks like a really shallow one. Also the wheel tilt against that slope is rather shallow. I could be wrong though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post KiwiMark Posted February 19, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 19, 2023 Well, I've gone on another ride today, just a short one of 74km. I was blasting along at a pretty good speed for much of the ride and even hit a new personal best of 70.7kph indicated (previous personal record was 70.0kph). This was also the highest average riding speed that I've recorded from any ride of over 10km, so maybe the speed that I normally ride at is creeping up a bit. Now I have less than 10km until I reach 600km on the wheel. No sign yet of any issue with shocks or bearings or anything else. I have ordered the replacement bearings which I will just keep on hand until whenever they seem to need to be replaced. Considering my average speed and how fast I was going at times, it is really good to see that after 74km I still had almost half the battery left - suggesting a range at my normal riding speeds of ~140km. But also important is that I can ride for over 70km and still have a very good voltage at the end of the ride, bearing in mind that at lower voltages you have less power and less available margin on whatever speed you are doing. On my RS or V12HT after 74km I would have a very low battery percentage and with it a low voltage which would mean having to ride slower and more gently - on my Sherman S I can still rip along at 60kph or more even after 74km of riding. On my RS or V12HT I would also have to slow down due to range anxiety, no such issue for the Sherman S. So therefore: I'm still loving this wheel. It is working incredibly well for me and the riding that I do. While my V12HT works well on a short ride to the shop, the Sherman S is MUCH better for longer rides and after a short ride on the V12HT the ride on the Sherman S feels so much nicer when going over any bumps. Even though the Sherman S is over half my body weight, I'm now very used to the weight and it really doesn't feel like a heavy wheel to ride - it just feels normal to me. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say that for me it looked rather more like he simply hit a divot, or small obstacle or something that threw him off, but as above, I too could well be wrong in this perception. I did not feel he got to the ‘tipping point’ of 45°. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I slowed down the video to see if I could tell, unfortunately the camera angle doesn't make it easy to see what the angle vs horizon would have been. I believe it is possible that he went past 45 degrees, but I just can't tell from that video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying W Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 The SS doesn't have adjustable cut off angle? I've gotten used to having a high cut off angle on my RS so I'm also used to using the berm on mnt bike trails. I'm sure after a few reminder falls I'd adjust, but I like being able to use the berm and rip. If thisbisnt adjustable I hope they release a firmware version that let's you set the angle much higher. I also have had my RS do the gotway dance on me from having set to "high" but it's still worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiwiMark Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 I haven't really looked into it, but did I read about a 'berm mode' either here or on Facebook? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah I've had mine in high speed mode from the day I received it 2 months ago. The fastest I cruise is around 40mph so I just have it on to prevent beeps at those speeds and for a bit of headroom. I'm sure one day I'll hit 50+ but that day isn't today. 11 hours ago, KiwiMark said: I haven't really looked into it, but did I read about a 'berm mode' either here or on Facebook? I also could have sworn I read about a berm mode after that video came out with the Sherman S cutting out in a berm at that one track. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post KiwiMark Posted February 20, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 20, 2023 Weather still good, so I went out for another ride: Average speed seems to still be going up and I can see I chewed through more battery percentage, still finished the ride with plenty of battery percentage/voltage though. So far I've put a 'hell' of a lot of kms on this wheel: I guess I'm now 2/3rds of the way to getting 1000km on the wheel. 1 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to know. I’ll be using Grizzla Flow on mine so might have to do the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiwiMark Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 My Grizzla Flow (Large) pads stick up a bit higher than the side pads, but I just let them overlap the side pads and it doesn't seem to cause any problem. So I put the side pads on first, then the Grizzlas so that the tops of the Grizzlas go over the side pads - most of the Grizzlas are held by Velcro and they don't move or come off.
