Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 No worries... we'll release a straight to DVD / streaming version that's R rated! Actually it took like maybe a couple of minutes to put that together. I used an old copy of Photoshop and lasso cut and paste. The text was tricky, but there is surprisingly a Back to the Future Font generator online which helped! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One tip, keep the Mode setting to Sport, otherwise the reversals are much harder in the softer modes. I've been experimenting with the softer modes with the Monster. For street riding the middle mode seems really comfortable. Kind of makes the Monster feel like it has some shock absorbers. YMMV. I will be interesting to see what you think of it's hill climbing ability in the middle mode sometime. Allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gotway ACM wheel has caught my attention. I love my V8; in many respects it is the perfect wheel for me in Chicago, since our "trails" are all paved bike paths, and we have 100s of miles of them. The ACM is also 16" and I would be comfortable with that, but a lot heavier. I'm hoping it would have the advantages of the V8 along with twice the torque and more weight to stabilize it on gravel and roots. I've not ridden the 22" appropriately named "Monster" so have no idea how much smoother the big 70lbs wheel would be. The V8 still trumps everything else as being the most well thought out. The wheel cutoff button in the handle is brilliant and useful, and the trolley handle, which I pull out whenever I dismount, is useful as well. I would have a hard time switching without those two features in a new wheel. Maybe the "ideal" would be @jrkline's 2400Wh battery on an Inmotion V8 (wouldn't that be a thought).

Allen I'm taking the Monster to Griffith Park tomorrow. After our main ride (using my ACM) I want to test the Monster on that first very steep trail in the different modes to see if it does make a difference.

I'm wondering though if the KS16S that's just starting to appear places may actually outperform the V8. If Inmotion had just given the V8 a battery at least 2 times the size it has now, I think that it would be an even more popular wheel; at least with those of us that are >190lbs. The wheel cutoff switch is nice indeed. Allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've all been battle tested so you should feel safe riding them, but then again you do seem a bit picky when it comes to safety Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think one time you told me that the wind at the beach doesn't seem to have that much affect on it when riding at the beach. That's definitely a good thing since it can get windy in the afternoons at the beach. Allen One of my favorite things about the beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
