The 5 mm ring compress only 1 mm even on very hard compression when I tested. So it acts more like a somewhat damped stop, than "harder" stroke. But the user COULD change them for softer ones to utilize some more movement. Edited October 3 by EUCzero 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EUCzero Posted October 3 Share Posted October 3 I actually measured the rubber ring compression while jumping on the Master up and down when it was new because I was curious if I could 3d print something softer or better. But both original o-ring, as well as my 95A TPU prints did not compress much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayzao Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 Last day on the Blitz. It was too tall for Wendy, so we took it to the office and packed it up to send to another rider. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robse Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 I just canceled my Blitz preorder. I simply don't want to wait any longer. The EUC market (in Europe) is ridiculous. Completely and utterly ridiculous. When you finally receive what you ordered a few months ago, there is either an improved version on the market (v2, v3 etc. etc.) or the wheel has just been overtaken on the inside by a new wheel with better specs than the one you have in order, or the wheel you have on order has simply been discontinued before it went into production. But fortunately, I have just bought a powerboat instead 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking forward to some vids from you on your new wheel. But with a powerboat, you can enjoy it with your friends and loved ones together rather than solo wheel trips. Hope you enjoy your new boat. Maybe someday soon a wheel will emerge that's worth waiting for and won't be outdated when it arrives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My RS19 is still going strong, and in the absence of suspension im not in danger of loosing my muscle ability like someone... (ha ha ... 😂) so i just wait a few months, i got this idea of the blitz ending up being a wheel in stock in many places, just like the RS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I, myself, is still on an S22, and really enjoying it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never buy a begode wheel until a second batch has been shipped and received by riders. I don't think the blitz is necessarily superseded by the xway though, or the rumoured 'high speed wheel' coming up, but I do think they're all close enough that you won't miss anything by buying any of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t buy any first batch wheels from any manufacturer. They’ve all had issues on first batch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not ridden the Blitz yet but that doesn't change those facts, [ the wheel is really close to my door ] i'm a biker that's why i have experience/sensibility in this aspect, the weight of rotating mass is critical in terms of energy (effort/performance), it's critical in the bike world and also has impacts in our EUC world. if you ride the same wheel with a light and a heavy tire you should definitely feel the difference same thing if you ride the old wheels like RS or EXN, same wheel, same tire but different motor (+1kg) is another good example of how the rotating mass has a great impact on dynamics i don't trust youtubers a lot, let's say i know how to "read" their opinions but, all the people who have ridden the blitz noticed how easy and how fast the wheel accelerate, probably there's something true about that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have ridden a Blitz, but my first impression was more like Maribel's impression than what others have said. The Blitz doesn't feel heavy, but it's not as responsive as I would've liked. It would be interesting to hear about your first impression on the Blitz once you get a chance to ride it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
