novazeus Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 i took mine off. they park better for me outside in their keter box on their front bumper. makes charging simple too.i've got velcro on the bumper to mount my phone anyway. i think they look more badass this way. i'm into minimalist. although i can't wait for hou's 40mm forward backplate he's making for me. ps nothing wrong with the s22's. rode the 900# spring first, then the diy s22 pro with the hh motor and michelin 809/90 r14 pilot street 2, and it was delightful. both wheels. the lynx just edges out the s22 with a little extra dig. suspension wise, having ridden all 4 today, there's pro's and con's of each one. i was surprised how great the old s22 amateur did with the street michelin.

Popular Post Rawnei Posted March 30 Popular Post Share Posted March 30 (edited) I am working on a shorter kickstand which should be printed in TPU (for flexibility) thus minimizing the problem of clipping the kickstand and the consequences of doing so in difficult terrain or in Skateparks, can remove about 2cm in the rear and still have room for mudguard to move freely. I wouldn't recommend just removing the kickstand and leaving it like that, any sort of side impact can easily damage the mudguard, for example just dropping the wheel on a small rock while off-roading will definitely damage it.

That sounds awesome! Do you think the TPU alone at those dimensions will be strong enough to support the wheel without tipping over at-rest? (possibly with backpack/helmet sitting on it) Also, with the entire kickstand in TPU, I would assume the original kickstand pads you designed would be obsolete in that configuration, correct? Btw, thank you for creating those bumper designs! (just started printing a set) Edited March 30 by Cyberwolf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forwardnbak Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Man I just love Grizzla The Lynx kit slotted on so nicely. I was so impressed with the seat hinging to allow trolley handle use. The fit and finish is perfect and enhanced my Lynx look heaps. They really design nice kit. I videod the fitting and I’ll do a quick roll review.

Rawnei Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 3D printable shorter kickstand now available for those that might be interested: Fun example from a tabletop I did with stock kickstand the other day, this is how much margin I had and this is not the steepest of tabletops or drops. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberwolf Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 It's not perfect (surface contours are a bit hard to follow perfectly), but I like the way this turned out better than with the raw (clearcoat) aluminium... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bumpers will not fit this kickstand and would be kinda pointless since it's a bumper in and of itself. 😊 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t0me Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 The front 3.5mm (3 pin) jack for the light has 24v between earth and red. Most vehicle usb adapters are 12/24v. A QC3.0 USB socket with a 3.5mm stereo plug attached, works great from that front socket. I haven't been game to try it while riding, but my initial experimental prototype charged my phone fine. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just remember to power off the wheel before plugging and unplugging the 3.5mm jack. Doing with the wheel powered on has a tendency to kill control boards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about risk of short since tip is positive and ring+sleeve are both negatives but can just turn light off and there won't be any power on the plug don't need to turn whole wheel off. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daniel1234 Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Thinking about using conductive paint and shield/ground whole top platic ... SO many similar issues . I count myself lucky so far 1300 km without issue. After two v1 begode wheels I am still expecting something to fall apart but it just ride every day. Feels ... weird...

Popular Post Artillery Posted April 9 Popular Post Share Posted April 9 Got my Lynx yesterday evening and had my first ride on it today. Was way easier to handle then I was expecting coming from an 18XL. Installed the Beidou Pedal lowering brackets and some CNC spiked pedals along with the included Beidou pads from ewheels, until my Grizzla flow and seat come in. As my first suspension wheel all I have to say is that it is so damn smooth even just partially dialed in suspension wise. Got my sag set around 28% and still need to spend some time messing with dampening and rebound settings. Still not perfectly dialed in for grass and gravel yet, but had no bangs of bottoming out with the smaller trail jumps so far. If you do the pedal lowering kit you definitely want bigger blocks or extensions for the toe lock jump pad thing, enough gap to not be totally locked in but fine for chattery stuff but iffy for descending on steep rooty hills. With the pedal hangers it didn't feel like a struggle to get it going as a 175lb fully geared rider. And the lack of weird noises, creaks, etc is very confidence inspiring compared to the creaks I'd get with forward and back rocking before. For anyone wondering about the Pedal Lowering Brackets. Heres you go, stock on the right. 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
