novazeus Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 just curious where other owners have their speed warning settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoother Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 In my backside. Seriously! I have it set at 1 pucker factor. I have only heard "Be caution, decelerate" once. Most of the time I'm doing 14d speeds, 22-27 kph. Those are the speeds at which I feel comfortable doing my Superman flight impressions. And also the speeds that I know the 16s will power over any reasonable obstacle, unless I just can't physically stay on. oh, alright 1. off 2. off 3. 33kph tilt back. off. oh no, that's right. Can't turn it off on a King Song. Just as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you will GET ALL warning beeps on 1.-3. alarm depends on the "voice" setting. If you have "Voice ON" you will, not matter how 1.and2. alarm are set, only get the warning voice on 3rd alarm and the tiltback. If you have "Voice OFF" you will get the alarm beeps on 1.-3rd alarm (if you dont have set 1.+2. to off) Just saying...if you know allready, Sorry please! My beep setting: 1:42 2:48 3/4:50 But i really, really seldom hear only first alarm :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novazeus Posted February 2, 2018 Author Share Posted February 2, 2018 so if i was to set my #4 or “ollie” which i assume is tiltback to say, 30 kph, 5 down from the max setting, would i be making the wheel “safer” by it having more reserve headroom, besides the slower top speed.

No, probably not. KS have set the Ollie low (35) so that tilt back will have enough power to throw you off . Leave ollie at max, but set your #3, 2 to 3 kph lower so there is less chance of zooming through it and bumping into Ollie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fat Unicyclist Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I use the "SLA12YOG" warning system... When my speed makes me "scream like a 12 year old girl," it's time to slow down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayRay Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I try to keep my speed under 15mph, so my 2nd warning is set to 24/25kph... (1st warning is about 20/21kph.) I hear my first warning all the time, but try to slow down if I reach my 2nd (or third)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LanghamP Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Sound disabled, Ollie/tiltback set to 32 kph. You cannot hear the sound on a busy street at higher speeds, Ollie it is. Also, occasionally set the Ollie low, like at 10 and practice it weekly. Ollie is quite dangerous, I have fallen a few times at low speed when it triggered.
