novazeus Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 (edited) haha, i don't care if u don't trash talk the other brands or models, but please don't hold back trash talking a s18, s22 or a v13. the wheels i own. i appreciate wrong way's "brutally honest" review and analysis of the version of the s22 pro he has. he might have discovered something that i can check or fix beforehand. if u bad mouth my wheels, ur not insulting me, or really even my decisions to buy a certain wheel, because none of u live offgrid managing a 325 acre cattle ranch by urself, because ur doing other shit and i don't have the hubris to try and tell u what u need. and for instance, haha, i hear over and over the complaint about the headlights blinding humans. guess what, for me that's a super plus. i love the headlights on the s22. best wheel headlight i have. i started in 2017 when u might have to assemble ur first wheel like i had to, my 18s. and then 3am phone calls with king song to fix the bms. haha, i'm so thrilled to have 6 suspension wheels with great batteries and only one bad problem on pavement, the jiluer tire on the s18. btw, Bob and i had to get after two huge coyotes on foot that are stalking 3 new baby calves. soon i'll be able to slide up on them on my pasture paths and put a cap in their asses with my glock 27 in 40sw caliber.

litewave Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 (edited) What we really need are better, in-depth reviews/ers comparing different wheels that are similar, like the Patton vs. Extreme vs. V14 vs. S16/19, or the A-2 vs. the MCM5v2. I think WrongWay provides good info, but his "brutally honest" S22 Pro review wasn't that interesting or useful to me - he seems to be speaking to the wheel hoes with 10+ wheels (no insult intended) and a budget for 3+ new EUCs per year.

Bob is just amazing at detecting trespassers either human or animal. living on a 1100 acre ranch in the middle of nowhere, all we did for entertainment, was shoot. there's probably at least a ton of aluminum mountain dew cans at the bottom of the creek. shooting floating soda cans while smoking weed was our entertainment. better to have a gun and not need it, than need a gun and not have it. i did just ride with my bum knee on my first v13, and riding is stressful on ur knee joints. i had a amazon delivery and i wanted to try my waist trimmer belt idea. and it does work great with the stock pads and smaller knee braces.

That means we only need to worry about the entire riding community minus one. People are sensitive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
