Feed the geese Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Hey I just got this wheel and can't get it to stop beeping. I already took it out of transport mode and connected it to the app. Anybody know how to fix this? I will be contacting alienrides Monday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way you ride, no surprises there. There are varying levels of crazy. Pushing yourself past cars on the same lane in city traffic on a beeping Mten4 without a single piece of gear on you is next level shit man. I wouldn't brag about it very much if I were you. I just hope that the crash that finally makes you learn doesn't leave any too serious permanent issues. 3 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it is yours choice, but for me it was very uneasy to watch you riding that toy in the middle of traffic without any gear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techyiam Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 (edited) To me, @ZweemZ came across very comfortable while riding his mten3 in slow NYC traffic, while filming. I can't judge because I haven't ridden there. I certainly didn't see any close calls. I have never been on a mten3, but it couldn't have been easy to ride that small a wheel on the mten3 on such roads with bumps, and manhole covers.

Perhaps if he rides it more, his opinion might change in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a game changer for me, who knows, I really didn't think it was possible to ride an MTen3 like that. Clearly I need to give my demon wheels a bit more of a chance to shine in real-world commuting conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enaon Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 an mten3 on an experienced rider made me feel like my s18 had a problem, I could not catch up. Amazing wheel in my opinion, but the mten4, especially the way the have the fets over the pack, I really do not like, I think they make the fire thread a lot bigger in a year or so.

techyiam Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 (edited) It depends on whether you are holding a glass half full, or half empty. The only thing that could have been bent is probably the steel chassis. That metal chassis is made of welded, formed steel sheet. It shouldn't be difficult to fix. It should be easy to bend back. And it can be repaired many times over. Even if there was more damaged, many welding shops could repair it. Unlike a bicycle, as long as the hangers are square to the axle, there aren't any geometry and alignment to worry about, other than tire clearance. The steel sheet formed box frame is just primarily to hold the small battery and controller board. If you look at the pedals relative to the wheel, they looked true.

Tawpie Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 I don't know if the MTen4 likes to do the GW dance, but my MTen3 sure likes it... and it gets pretty good altitude sometimes. Recent BG wheels don't like landing upside down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
