Maybe this speaks to wide tolerances in the manufacturing process. I trimmed the side knobs which was no big deal. Now I only have fender rubbing. I anticipate this going away quickly once I wear the tire hairs off. The rubbing was enough to make spinning the tire difficult. Now, if I lift the rear fender with my fingers just a bit, I get zero rubbing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's not enough clearance. Small rocks get in there. I definately felt one go through, and it left a gouge in the battery box, but I'm pretty new to euc, and I've noticed alot are like that.

No wobbles from the tire. I use copious amounts of soapy water. I over inflate until I hear the bead pop in. Then I deflate, fill with Stan’s, and inflate with the pressure I like. Goat heads don’t stand a chance. 🤙 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no perceptable wobble in the tire. When shaving the right side knobs the left also rubbed. After shaving the left, no more rub except on the mudgaurd. The tire is simply too big but can be made to work. The golden boy is worth the extra work though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah I was worried about having to shave the 244. If you don't mind could you take a picture of and show us what part of the tire you shaved? Also what did you use to shave it?

Paul D Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 (edited) I used a pocket knife. Shinko 244 is good to go now I think. Warming trend here. Maybe I can do a little riding soon. ETA- shinko 244 is referred to as golden boy sometimes. ETA2- It took about 15 minutes to shave tire knobs.

My lynx seems quieter, but my ear vs that video is meaningless. Definitely louder than a fox float shock but not noticeable while riding at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RagingGrandpa Posted January 21 Author Share Posted January 21 (edited) 20 hours ago, novazeus said: would leaperkim owners, specifically lynxes, attest to whether this demonstration represents the suspension somewhat? Yes that's realistic, but bear in mind where those hiss sounds are coming from: it's the plastic fender supports, riding in their plastic slot between the battery pack halves. There is a small gap all around them and no contact is intended, but inevitably the alignment won't be perfect and the plastics will kiss lightly. Despite the noise, it makes very little friction because there is no force being applied to that plastic slot.

onkeldanuel Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 (edited) Can someone tell/measure how "high" this jumpblock on the lynx is in total? Im printing pads for it right now (dont have the wheel yet) and want to figure out how high the pads should be in total if removing the stock Pad... I know that the upper grizzla part which many put above the stock jumppad is about 190mm and fits about right ...

From Reddit: Quote r/ElectricUnicycle•10 days ago keltonfb Veteran Lynx motor bearing issue Do any other Lynx owners have an issue with their motor bearing making noise? I have the same exact noise as Adam from WrongWay in his video https://youtu.be/UCZXmYAMr54?si=zJnzJoqJYK8V1PIQ&t=2634 at the 44 minute mark. In addition my motor casing is hitting the battery box when turning left, scraping the paint off the motor. eWheels is aware of the issue and said something about adding loctite between the axle and bearing. I wanna hear if anyone else has tried this before I open my motor up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MandatoryFun Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Got an email today from eWheels that batch 2 wheels arrived in the US today. I asked them about the statuses of the issues known about the Lynx thus far. The sticky buttons have been fixed in batch 2. The info is still the same about the motor spacer. LK/Veteran has said they added the spacers in batch 2 but the jury is still out. eWheels was kind enough to offer to hold onto the wheel until they can figure out the situation with the spacer which will likely take a few weeks. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novazeus Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 i hate that y'all are having to take one for the team, but i'm sure the lynx is gonna be exactly the wheel they designed it to be and probably about when i have money, all these hiccups will be fixed and somebody like roger euc might have stuck a michelin street tire on his. now i just need to build a longer road with fresh asphalt and a big roundabout. u know, u gotta fence all this off from wildlife. i've seen gators in my pasture. hitting anything at 50mph is gonna be terrible for the rider and the animal. i've got a frigging black snake that likes to cross in front of me. i don't want to kill it and a v13 would slice it in two. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
