novazeus Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 (edited) fyi. from the article if it's too long to read. "A tire that is underinflated by 4 PSI has lost 80 pounds of load-carrying capability." http://www.rollingthundercycles.com/page/482609976 https://www.mic.org/Downloads/Tire_Guide.pdf Edited January 13 by novazeus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techyiam Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 38 minutes ago, Hellkitten said: @techyiam Are you running a stiff sidewall or tubeless tires? (1) On the Abrams, it's the stock tubeless tire, running tubeless. 15 psi. (2) On the S22, it is the stock tubed tire, with a tube. 15 psi. Both tires are stiffer than a typical bicycle tire. However, both tires aren't as stiff as a tubeless moped tire I am using on my V12. If you attempt to use too low a tire pressure in a tire that is not stiff enough, it will feel squirrely. If you use low tire pressure with a tube, valve stem can get sheared off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly what is my down side? I already have gone through one tire on myT3, and two tires on my V12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellkitten Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 @techyiam thanks for the feedback! There’s a ton of chatter currently on rodger’s telegram channel specifically about people’s tire preference and pressure on the lynx. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novazeus Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 this is from the v13 manual. notice it says "low rolling resistance tire". if i were an atty, and ur surviving widow filed a lawsuit for wrongful death because of their wheel, if representing the manufacturer, i'd lay the blame on u for not following directions.

Scroll up or maybe try a search. It was a fairly extensive discussion not long ago.

hydracricket Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Anybody have similar issues to this person on Reddit regarding "motor bearing noise"? Curious to know if it's a design or QC issue or if some people just got unlucky. @Jason McNeil any comments on this issue? Also interested in hearing whether Leaperkim is making any tweaks between batches once you have that info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The person on reddit links to part of video where Adam complains about noise from suspension not bearings. The noise in Adams video re: suspension seems kinda normal.

Yeah that's why I put it in quotes, not actually sure what the noise is. And the person seems to have a separate issue with "the motor casing hitting the battery box". I don't have a Lynx yet so just looking for more informed opinions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When bringing up the topic to Linnea, she said that from batch 1 they added motor spacer to take out some of the gap on stator cyclinder & faceplate. Evidentally, this may not have been sufficient, there's been about 3 reported cases, thus far, under tight turns and/or hard carving. Working on getting one of these shipped to a foresnic inspection into the problem Linnea writes: In SS and Patton motors, there are no such problem. For Lynx motor, they changed the procedure to install bearing. Now we made standard to install bearing, this problem has been solved. Will make video tomorrow or the day next tomorrow (e.g. tomorrow) Edited January 14 by Jason McNeil 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had this freaking bearing knocking because mistolerances in the Bearing seat on the EX and S22 and ordered an Lynx Batch 1, so i have again to print an tpu spacer for it and disassemble whole motor again?? Green loctite for the bearing seat....Seriously unbelievable Or was this already fixed in batch 1 and it was only a problem for preproduction units?

UniVehje Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I just saw a video posted on Telegram about a warped rim on Lynx. I’m asking the owners here to check their rims. It could potentially be a wide spread issue. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Jason McNeil Posted January 15 Popular Post Share Posted January 15 (edited) Ok, so it looks like they're just adding a bearing spacer in the Lynx motors. We're flying in a supply of those spacers to deal with any cases that pop-up—these manufacturers really should have a Wechat information sharing channel, exactly the same troubles were experienced on the Inmotion V13s, it took IM like 6+ months to source those spacers, until then they were swapping out whole motor assemblies, there's such prodigal waste in resources for some of these problems LK writes: before made 1st batch, we found that problem, then we meansured the position of bearing and pick up some good motors to use. But from the second batch, we use new motors improved by motor suppliers. Edit: we tested adding a couple of the V13 spacers on the stator, they're the same size...

What is confusing here is that they say they discovered the problem before batch 1 but the problem wasn't fixed until batch 2. I have batch 1 wheel on the way.. 😥 Also what does "new motors" mean? That kinda implies more than just a spacer?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rawnei Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 BTW when re-assembling the motor like that, isn't it a good idea to put some silicone around the cover after closure for waterproofing? What's the consensus on that? From factory there's usually some kind of substance between. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
