I think I have a video of the final finish backing plate

That was a test plate, the final version should have more details. Check some of the other videos. 1/8" aluminum plate.

@@thewhlchrguy great thank you I’ll check it out.

Find me on messenger I'm in Tewksbury Ma

@@thewhlchrguy will do thanks so much!!!

The flex isn't as noticeable as I had hoped for. I mean, it's not like I'm able to ride an extra hour due to increased comfort. I do feel and prefer the difference over the rigid aluminum pedals, though. So far, no complaints, and I wouldn't hesitate to purchase them again for my next wheel, still to be determined.

@@thewhlchrguy Thank you for the update. So far I haven't seen a comparison video between Nylonove, eRides, and Clark pedals so I'm trying to decide which one to pick.

Too funny, bro. Hadn't considered that. That'll have to be the post-retirement version 2.0 😂

Thanks! Serves both, my home away from home. So, I have never had a problem with getting tapes or hook and loops to adhere to the roho product. You'll just want to wipe it clean with rubbing alcohol for best adhesion. The challenge is the V11 saddle area, it's made of a funky foam rubber that won't let anything adhere very well. I'm using a 3M VHB double-sided tape that has held for a long time now. It's not like a permanent strong type of mount (I could peel it off easy enough without too much effort), but it does the job. Very important, though, you'll need to wipe that area well with rubbing alcohol. You want to take the shine off the surface, which is what you want. You can also use 3M primer 94. Comes in pints, get it from Amazon. That'll provide best possible prep for getting tapes to stick to difficult surfaces as well. Good luck.

Thank you! I never used any protective devices other than on my body 😃 when learning how to ride this wheel. I did scratch up the plastic around the headlight but never broke anything. I would advise riding on a soft surface initially until you can maneuver comfortably and get on and off the wheel in a controlled way, using both sides/legs before moving onto asphalt. Smooth dry uniform lawn or outdoor rubber running track surface. This way, when you fall, the wheel doesn't take a beating. Or your body 😜. Enjoy!

Made by Roho/Permobil, Called a "adaptor cushion" Air filled nods, cut to size. About $110 Us dollars for a 13"x9" piece, plenty to do both sides. Used in the wheelchair rehab seating components industry.

Awesome! So happy with my purchase. I would definitely make the same choice again if I had to do it over. Just bought some aftermarket pedals that I'll be adding next week.

The drawback you're referring to would be common in almost any machine, at least under the 6,000 dollar price point. Some of this is flex in the base clamp and some is the natural tolerance in the vertical telescopic clamp post that goes up and down. Most of this will be recovered on the next proceeding pull. All of it? I doubt it, but it is inherent in all of the machines that I'm aware of. I've never had the privilege of stringing on a high-end Babalot or Yonex machine like in the 10,000 to 12,000 price range. I'd be interested myself to know whether the clamp base and the clamp post have zero tolerance to eliminate this drawback entirely. Maybe somebody out there that's had the experience on a 10,000 plus dollar machines would have an answer to this question?

@@thewhlchrguy Thank you for your reply. I've been reading more about it, and some do indeed claim that most will be recovered at the next pull. Logically after a few of these tension could drop, and I think the solution could simply be to increase the tension by 1 or 2 lbs to compensate for this effect during the stringing process. I was considering a Pro Stringer which has flying clamps, which would likely have an even bigger drawback effect. I'm simply planning on playing with the tension to compensate... I don't have the space nor the money for a $6k+ machine. 😛

still performs without any issues. very happy with the machine. however, at the current price I would probably choose the prince 7000. for a few hundred more you get bang for your buck.

Hey Harry, thank you for the concern. Everything is well. Been busy without much opportunity to ride. I think you made an amazing choice on the v11, I've been very happy with my purchase and I think it's a great entry to mid -level purchase.

@@thewhlchrguy Good! Glad to hear it. Well not glad to hear you have not had time to ride, but that you are ok. It's good to be busy though. Interesting business you mentioned. I am a real estate agent and am shifting my business towards seniors, being that I am 63 myself. Is your wheelchair business local to New England?

I am in Massachusetts, about 30 minutes north of Boston.

I use to have a crank machine. Got the job done, but there's nothing like a constant pull machine with a locking table. More accurate and certainly more pleasurable to use.

I'm glad that it worked out for you. Nice job! Thank you for the kind words!

Sounds good, I'm trying to do something similar, how long more or less did you file each pedal? I'm having a hard time filing in a consistent way and scared of taking off too much.

@thaer12345 I would say the shiny filed line was an 8th of inch wide. It wasn't much at all. If you're filling without some way to check the angle, file a little at a time. You will have to do more fitment procedures to see what feels good to you. I have over 5k miles on the same pedals, same brackets. At some point, i did get new pins. Im assuming you have the V11.

Give me a few days. I'm out town at moment.

Okay, so I started out with 12" x 12" plates 1/8" thick so that I'd have enough space to move my power pads around and experiment with the ideal location for me! I'd recommend that you do the same since we are likely different sizes and weight. For reference I weigh 145 pds, 5' - 10". After a few weeks of dialing in my pads location, I took everything apart and trimmed down my plates to the following, R to L bottom 10-1/4", R to L top 9", top to bottom is 11-3/8", so the toe box section would be 2-3/8" top to bottom, and 1-1/4" to the front. Hope this helps. Good luck. But like I say, I'd start with oversized and then trim them down later once you're certain that they suit you perfectly.

@@thewhlchrguy ... ah ha,, yes, I see what u'r saying!! I was thinking of making them and adjusting myself to th pads,, lol. I ordered my v11 yesterday,, shipped today,, so,, I should get it in about a week! Using 1mm steel plate (washing machine lid) a pair of old rubber wellie boots and a can of builders foam!!!,, lol. I see I'm going to hav to take a different approach, using trial and adjustment, before using th foam,,, tanx for that!!!

@@thewhlchrguy .. can u please tell me th depth of u'r pads???

@@thewhlchrguyDid you use the original screws to tighten it down?

Grizzlapads.com is where I purchased from.

No, they do not. The larger cell applications like seat cushions have a valve to tweak desired pressure, but these smaller low profile pads are non adjustable. Hope this helps.

You are correct! However, it depends what type of rider/riding you wish to do. For me personally, I like to be aggressive on jumps, stairs, trails, etc. You can not do these things without pads.

Sorry friend, I have never had to do this procedure and am not familiar with it. I would contact Inmotion tech support, I hear they are very good.

Whoops! Good catch, I'm on it. Thanks.

If you want to ride aggressive? There a must have! Sure they lock you in more than having nothing, but that's what allows you to do things that you otherwise wouldn't be able to do. Really depends what type of rider you are. Of course, it's just a personal choice. You'll never know though until you've tried some kind of pads.

@@thewhlchrguy Ah makes sense! v5 is not really an aggresive thing electrically.

@@Laenthal .. lol, i think that's th point,, it is IF u want it to be!!!

@@thewhlchrguy well, after having 2400kilometers on my v11 with inmotion pads on i can say that it's better with them than without. However i really like their slim profile, so that they dont hamper seated ride and general everyday hopping on and off. Grizlas seem to be way too wide

I tried the Inmotion pads you're referring to. Didn't work for me, but I don't ride seated either. Glad they work for you.

Just start with 12" x 12" 1/8" thick aluminum. Center it on the machine, match up and mark were to drill the holes to secure. If your not comfortable with these steps then I wouldn't try to do it on your own without someone to help you. Good luck

Hmmmm, very interesting. They told me to ignore and that it wouldn't affect the use. But like you say, it's really bothering me too. I'm gonna reach out to them again. Thank you for the advice.

@Michael Arsenault They are very correct it'll ride fine. But I have a feeling you're like me and want perfection at this price point. Persistence is key here, Inmotion likes happy customers. Tell them how much you love the company and it'll take you far. I've gotten kickstands, panels, extra shock caps etc just by being exceedingly nice.

Referred to as "Roho adaptor pad" used in the wheelchair seating trade. You can cut to size as needed and would easily get 2 nice size pieces out of one sheet. It's not cheap, probably 100 us dollars and not really cost effective. I'm in the trade so I occasionally have left over pieces. But if cost is not an issue, I do recommend it.

Lol....right! Thanks Bro
