I do want to make one, but I haven't yet taken the 18XL into the mountains. I want to stress test it like the other wheels. We had a wet winter this year so it's been difficult, but everything is drying out so expect to get out there in the next couple of weeks. I'm really curious how it does compared to the MSX. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yourtoys7 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Drove to Toronto today for a group ride, 14 people it was awesome. Had an opportunity to ride 18XL and to my surprised that wheel is not for me at all. what I liked: the handle, how body fits snug all the way up to the knee and pedal size. what I didn't like: flat pedals (I though I was gonna fall of it) no angle at all, tire size (felt flimsy kind of), not as solid as msx. To me it felt like race/ street bicycle vs mountain bike (msx). Looking forward to your comparison video... 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. He rides the hell out of his 100-volt Monster (over 5000-miles). The shell color has been faded by the Sun.

winterwheel Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 (edited) This boat has 10 King Song wheels on it, due to arrive in Vancouver on April 15th, eventual destination Edmonton. Edited April 9, 2019 by winterwheel 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post esaj Posted April 9, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 9, 2019 (edited) Looks like Mother Nature decided to postpone the riding season a bit more ~30cm (1 foot) of snow in 24 hours (well, at worst, at here it was maybe 15-20cm). There's a lot of people who have already changed to summer tires in their cars, something like 30-40 crashes during the day in this town alone, at least one where people got killed.

winterwheel Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 I think a lot more people hereabouts would be wheeling if the barriers to entry weren't so high: learning to ride, needing to buy-without-try from a faraway stranger. Several times a week I meet people who really seem like they would to try it out if they could give it a go. A subset of family, friends, co-workers are also curious to try them out and some of these might become riders if some of the logistics around getting into the sport are reduced. I'm putting my thoughts on this to the test by bringing in a few wheels for use as demo / training / rental / sale wheels, establishing a training / demo process, and we'll see what happens. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I have found Gotway "less than easy" to work with in that way... Combine that with the chances that your purchases will be "the previous model" before the boat lands and it makes the proposition challenging! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
