When you say "Not flicker", do you mean switching from red to green for like 15 mins? Because that si what is happening to mine and I am not sure if I have a faulty charger or if this is normal for this wheel.... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artillery Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 On 3/21/2024 at 12:59 PM, novazeus said: adds a little extra weight. got some countersunk m5 screws to close the holes from the toe stop removal. put the short bolts back in the flat holes my feet after finishing 5 miles over my ranch. Have you ridden the Lynx with just the 40mm forward offset plate without the lowering bracket? I'm wondering if the shift forward gives a similar amount of leverage increase to the lowering bracket. Could make a solid pick for a more offroad focused setup that can't afford to lower due to pedal clipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

novazeus Posted April 9 Author Share Posted April 9 (edited) just sent this to ewheels support. my 66lb lynx is exhibiting weird trolleying behavior. tilts back and then forward. i rode it for an hour around the ranch today and i felt the same tilting as i rolled out t the pasture. i'm guessing a hall sensor is loose? whatever it is, i'm not riding it until this is fixed/solved! the 70lb doesn't do this. this is exactly the reason i have to buy multiples of the same wheel.

Cant use frontpads anyways with the forward moved pedals right? yes, i ride padless. i just rode my ranch with the 40mm forward backplate and beidou's drop hangers. perfect! my purrfect wheel, now! ranch ride. my feet position after a ride like this: my feet position after just riding the full ranch ride after installing the 40mm forward backplate. besides the extra width(17mm each side) making the wheel feel like power rack and pinion steering, the "hold angle" stepping off is perfect for my 6' height and legs. haha, the hardest transition after 7 frigging years of squinching up my big toe on my right foot to apply more juice in areas where needed, haha, was convincing my big right toe to relax. i kept telling it, "it's ok baby, u don't have to contort anymore to make the wheel go".

novazeus Posted May 26 Author Share Posted May 26 (edited) here's why the trolley handle apparatus works horribly. i've already emailed jason with the fix. leaperkim needs to remake this plastic button piece so it doesn't flex. i've already fashioned a reinforcement plastic piece i've prepped and used golf club head 24 hour expoxy on. this hole too close to the edge.

novazeus Posted May 28 Author Share Posted May 28 1 hour ago, fl105kg said: You are right hou and i must have worked on designing this backplate for weeks. lots of mechanical bonds to account for. if i got another lynx, i would absolutely do thd same to it. lynx pedals are damn good i think. longest pedals of my bunch. when i ride the v13's for a couple of days, and then switch back to a lynx, haha, it's like a pair of old hush puppies. so freaking easy on this horrible terrain. the v13's strengthen my legs to make the lynxes so much better. the lynxes allowed me to get better. dropping a 90 pound wheel on urself in a maneuver is better than dropping a 120 pound behemoth on u.

novazeus Posted May 28 Author Share Posted May 28 trolley handle junk back together. it might improve with age now that there's lubricant on the catch/release device. but the new screw and new pieces are installed and if i hold my mouth just right, it works, sometimes.

If the base couldn’t be tapped than only 6 bolts would be used if In The forward position. Edited June 17 by fl105kg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
