- FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT READ THE DESCIPTION:
I like this board a lot and and I think all the complaints out there are focusing on the wrong thing. This board rips, it's a blast to ride and I can take it further than ever before. Is it perfect? no definitely has some bugs, But I sure do like it.
If it’s clicking call FM and have them ship it back. That has appeared in a couple of other boards I’ve heard, and FM has to swap out the motor. It’s covered under warranty.
Sending it out this week.
Have you tried lowering your tire PSI to see how that feels at higher speeds? That clicking is likely the mag handle...
As an older and bigger dude, I'm glad to hear about the pushback. I would rather have a safer board than one that doesn't alert me when it's going to nose dive. I'm glad the GT is going to be my first OneWheel.
If you're new to the onewheel this board maybe take a little more work to get comfortable on but it's quickly becoming my favorite board. I have 71 miles on it now. The pushback is a good thing and so far it hasn't got in the way of my fun.
@@CerealSnob That's good to hear. Did you mess around with the PSI at all? I know a lot of people have been saying the tire is more stable if you drop the PSI to about 8-11.
@@Evenmoresteven I weigh 195 lbs. and I have been riding my GT at 20psi. I dropped it to 15, then 12, then 10, I enjoy 20. I can see going down a little for trails, but I don't feel like the board performs as well with less air. It's just an opinion, it seems like most riders drop their psi below 15. One guy was riding with 35 psi and loves the extra distance. I don't recommend that though.
Great video man. I love your content. Thank you for everything you do. I am just starting my channel as well. Keep up the good work
That's a real as shit review you won't get anywhere! I'm glad I stumbled onto your channel an I dig the cereal content lol.....
Fuck yeah, glad to hear it. Welcome to the channel. It started off as cereal only but it's growing to my other hobbies and interests too.
Have you figured out what the clicking is? Like is it the mag handle tapping the board? I’ve heard some people had some rattling with the handle, or maybe it’s rocks clipping up and hitting the fender
I think it's a bearing issue. FM is going to take it back and fix it
11:20 Totally Agree.
the clicking is your handle put a little a piece of soft side of velcro around it and it will go away. it is just the gap between the handle in the resting position bouncing causing the sound.
Sadly that isn't the issue. Not the handle. FM acknowledged it's wired. I may send it back.
@@CerealSnob oh no that’s a bummer
It's the pro mag handle that's jiggling
Also yes clicking could be from mag handle as someone else already wrote. Tape something soft around and see if it stopes the noise. I know TFL was complaining about the clicking of the handle on tricks.
Tfl said they didn't need it since their was so much rail grab area too. I think an extra magnet would be nice for mine to add check out my ow content I ride extreme one MTB trail
Dude this was the realest and most down to earth review so far. 👍👍👍
I appreciate that. I'm a big hype guy a lot of the time but I took my time to just tell it how it is.
I am actually really enjoying the pushback at 19.5 mph compared to the subtle XR pushback at 17.5. I tend to not look at my Apple Watch for speeds with the GT which is great. Great video 🤙🏽
Sounds similar to what I'm feeling. What's your weight? I'm 230
@@DSC1320 165lbs and 16 Psi. The GT has so much more power under the hood. The governor kicks on at 19.5 no matter what psi. I feel like it is safe to say that is fast enough for most people. I love snowboarding at like 30 mph or so but 20 is solid on concrete. Different than falling on snow haha
Glad to hear you're liking it too. I think this pushback will make me more confident in the long run for sure.
The clicking is probably valve cap hitting the fender, no?
No. Checked that.
Going by what TFL said when they did their video it sounds like the clicking you’re hearing is the mag handle moving around. They could hear it on drops but maybe yours is a little more loose and rattles a bit while regularly riding as well. 🤷🏻♂️
Def not the mad handle. Sending the board back tomorrow to be checked out.
@@CerealSnob Yikes. Good luck, dude.
Nice wheel. I wonder why they don't put a roller on the front edge so with a nosedive you can keep rolling? Like a rolling pin on the front edge.
I wonder that too. That seems like such an easy add that I think would be very helpful and likely safer. That's what the fangs did on the other models. It's only so long before they're made for the GT.
Hey man this review definitely helped me out! I feel like we are equal in our riding style annnnnnnnd thank you!
I was hoping I'd find other riders like me. Most of the videos I see are really intense with how they ride and my style is pretty go with the flow and just stay vibing to some music.
The clicking is the mag handle rattling its been a common issue with the gt
It's not. Not this time.
Just took delivery of mine and this video is spot on. At this point I’ll try getting used to it. I have great balance but I feel the tire is too round, this may end up being corrected in software though. It’s so solid though and def built better than previous boards . When custom shaping comes out in tandem with a more square tire I’m sure I’ll be thrilled .
I see so much potential with this board
100% its got so much potential. I wonder ismf software updates could do anything about the shakyiness. I'm glad to hear you're enjoying it too. I can't wait to ride more this weekend.
Loving that color way my dude
Speed wobbles are crazy on my GT. I think software can fix this. I think XR was wobbly too when it first came out.
Honestly I think this is a hardware thing. The wobble is just about where my weight is on the board and it's a lot different than the XR. I'm less wobbly today that I was 2 days ago. Also sadly it's not the mag handle.
Great video dude! Question, do you use a protective lense for your 360 cam? If so, what guard are u using?
I had protective lenses but they got scratched so I just took them off. I have the GoPro max 2 and the protective lenses that came with it.
@@CerealSnob cool. I’m debating weather to put protective lenses on my insta360 x2 or not.
How's the puchback beep sound or is it too quiet. Mine ships tomorrow. Not stoked at the clicking issue
The beep is way too quiet and I've only noticed it beep when on flow mode. I usually rode highline. The clicking comes and goes and I'll be sure to update you all when I figure that out.
As soon as I lowered the PSI, I immediately was less wobbly. I think it’s because of the new tire but a major key was the PSI. GT is AMAZINGG!!
I am going to lower mine a little bit more. It's 16 now but I'll try 12.
Great video, your feedback is super helpful. I’ve had a pint for 2 years, sold it for the GT coming in next week. Is yours treaded or slick? If treaded, how does it ride on asphalt / pavement (rough / noisy)? If slick, were you able to get traction on trails with 16psi?
Last but not least, you using a hyper charger? Not sure if it’s needed with all this range, seems stock charger takes eons to juice up though
Thanks again
I have a slick tire and I have mostly rode on asphalt so far. I haven't ridden many trails just yey but so far I've had decent traction on the dirt trails.
Great video! One question, why when riding through a crowd of people you don’t wear a mask but riding alone in a yellow sweater masks on? Just wondering. Thought that was funny
One ride it was cool, the other it was hot. It's not about covid at this point.
@@CerealSnob Agree. Its not always about looking cool or covid fobia. A mask makes the ride way more confortable when its cooler or going at higher speeds. I ride euc's and at higher speeds a mask helps to keep fast moving/cooler air from entering or flowing over the nostrils.
I keep a mask in a pocket. Same philosphy as googles/glasses. Slower speeds i can do without. At higher speeds they are a must.
Oh, and i wear a full face DH helmet.
Hey please update on the gt sound issue.i just started getting a choo choo sound off my son's pint x after I finally started liking it. We had a battery change at 200 miles. Was under warranty so they didn't charge to ship to them.finally fell in love with the small board, was was at least like I don't need to sell this, tho I felt my 5 y o outgrew it in 200 miles
Nice review. Mine gets here today and I already can't wait for a firmware update to get rid of that strong pushback. I'm 51 and about 190lb but I can hit 22 on my XR and that's not nearly enough for me. I don't mind riding hip forward when pushing the limits of the board because I don't fly around at top speed all the time. If I could do 30 on my GT I would be ecstatic. I wouldn't do it all the time but when I'm on smooth, familiar pavement and I want to open it up......
I totally agree with the headlights assessment, I wish I could adjust them so I didn't have to carry a flashlight and drive slower at night.
I hope you are having fun with your onewheel
@@CerealSnob I am, thanks! I just got back from riding with my wife. She prefers her XR because the rounded tire on the GT makes it too twitchy for her. I love it but that pushback is so aggressive that it feels like it could cause a wreck 😄. I hope that you are having fun with your GT!
I hope you get comfortable with that pushback. XR is way more secure but the GT zips and carves so easily.
@@CerealSnob I was out shredding up downtown Denver on my GT last night and there was only a few times I wanted to go faster than the board would let me but I would love a new firmware update to ease off that wicked pushback.
Have you been hitting pushback on yours?
Excellent insights and observations! I hope by the time you hit 200 miles your mind and body have adjusted so it feels more stable, hopefully.
I'm at 71 miles as of last night and I can tell you I'm adjusting quickly and living this board more each day
@@CerealSnob that's awesome! I also had a Pint, a couple of XR's, and a Pint X, all purchased new. I am very excited to get the GT, but my ship date keeps on getting pushed back now to March 23rd. I've seen a lot of negativity and refuse about the board, glad to see yours and that your experience is improving.
@@mikeintampa250 when is the last time your date was pushed back? Mine has been March 18th for a couple weeks now. Hoping it’s the last one
@@bradencooper4273 Just yesterday it was pushed back from March 22 to 23. Was pushed back several different times before that.
Great video! 100% agree. I don't have a click, I'm getting a rubber band kind of forward/ backward shake. You?
Glad to hear your board is doing well. You'll have to explain the rubber band thing more. I don't quite understand what you mean. Are you describing the shake while cruising?
Makes my legs shake in a jerking front to back way, going any speed. But no noise, just....slight, jerk,jerk,jerk.. ??
might be the mag handle clicking
Nope, tried that. There is nothing external causing the noise. FM sent me a pre-paid label for a repair. I'll send it back soon.
Great great vid. Thanks. You didn't say if you thought it was worth it, if people should cancel, be excited as you mentioned in the beginning.
Well I think that's for you all to decide based off what you hear. I just hit 100 miles today and i am liking this board more than ever before. It's my favorite onewheel yet and I can't wait to get back on it. The extra oomph, range and tire make it feel fresh and better than ever.
@@CerealSnob Best yet says a lot. Thanks for the reply
I wonder if the clicking is valve stem cap is hitting the rail or mag handle?
I thought so as well
It might be the handle hitting. I hear it rattles.
The click might be the mag handle. Its loose on all GTs
I did drop it from 20 to 16. That may have helped but I just hit mile 100 and the extra time has me a lot more comfortable on this board
Are you running a Vega on your XR?
Yep
@@CerealSnob that’s why the GT tire feels like an upgrade. You should try a FF Whisper on your XR before you part ways with it. Game changer but… GT still has the power I’m sticking with
Once my Vega is ready to retire I'll get another tire on my XR for sure.
You probably need to get more used to the GT tire (speed wobbles). A boxier slick tire will reduce speed wobbles or take a lower riding stance at higher speeds. The Bigger rim may also contribute to these speed wobbles... I hope that rattle noise is the handle vibrating and not something serious.
I've ride 52 more miles since this video and I'm way more stable overall. Still wobbles from time to time but I think that's more leg exhaustion at this point. I've ride a lot more this last week than I have on my XR ever.
Great video! Trail ride with a pint and looking to upgrade. Would you suggest going XR with upgrades or GT? Thx!
Great question and after a lot of time on a trail today (4 miles on dirt rocks and dust) I'd say definitely go with the GT. The extra torque makes a huge difference going up any incline and you'll be able to stay on the GT a lot more than you would on the XR.
I went from pint to GT, first ride today! No regrets! By the time you up grade an XR you might as well buy a GT. It might not be as friendly for tricks or mods yet, but it will eventually be the standard and mods will catch up
Great point! Did you go slick or treaded? Have heard pros and cons on each
Pretty sure the clicking is coming from your mag handle. Also, have you tried deflating the tire a bit? Most people seem to like between 10-13psi on the treaded tire.
Not the maghandle, I've checked that. I also have dropped the psi to 16 from 20 and I'm liking it there for now.
It’s a bearing issue… It’s happening to different people.. FM will send you a shipping label to inspect your board
I think it's a bearing issue too. Or at least that was my guess.
3:39 Mine dropped at 21.1 just the other day on me as well, damn it...
I hope you're okay. Oddly that fall I had was the least painful with the most minor of scratches.
Could the manhandle be what is producing the clicking noise?
Nope I actually removed it to test that out and it's not it.
Oh hell no. I can't handle the clicking noise. No way. Please keep me posted on the sound. Is it the mag handle?
Not the maghandle. I've taken everything I can off and the noise is coming from inside the wheel hub. Sending it back to FM soon.
@Cereal Snob man that's beyond horrible. So sorry. I live on the east coast and have no plans to ever send it back unless I absolutely have to. Mine is scheduled for delivery Thursday. I'm so nervous now.
"I'm a bit of a pussy." NO, no you are not. You are being intelligent and not pushing an electric vehicle that has TWO jobs - keep you upright and move you forward. You consume one when you deplete the other. People that get hurt pushing through pushback are eventually going to draw the attention of the news when enough of them die and ruin it for the rest of us.
Well thanks for making my feel better about being basic in my board. A big part of me wants to do cool tricks and ride real fast but I'm not very skilled in that space. I fall enough without doing anything crazy. Currently on my 4th week of recovery from a fall were the GT dropped me at 16pmh and I tore my rotator cuff on my left shoulder. I do my best to respect the board so I can continue to have a good time.
wondering if you have done an all pavement ride to see if you can hit the 32 mile advertised range? Seems 20 miles is all of it from what I've seen on other videos, but no one has done just a pure pavement ride without nudges and bonks. Thanks in advance.
I have not. I do pavement most of the time as is and last night I got to 15.5 miles with 32% battery left. Which I'm pretty confident puts me over 20. I'll definitely be riding this weekend for the full range test. I'll make sure to drop another video with those results.
Could the clicking be the valve stem hitting the fender/delete or the mag handle rattling?
Neither. I tried both and it still rattles. FM is going to take a look at it.
I’m a new rider and that wobble scares the hell out of me and the fact it bothers you doesn’t instill confidence
Wobbles are the scariest thing about any onewheel (besides nosedives) so you're right to be concerned. But now that I've out 115 miles on my board the wobbles are much better under control. It still happens from time to time but it's not so bad.
Have you tried reducing the tire pressure? Might help with stability.
I did drop it a couple psi and I don't think it made much difference but the more I rode the more steady I'm getting
Why would you think you would have to pay to send it back if there is something wrong with the board? It's a brand new board, you better not have to pay. What psi you riding?
Idk man, I've never been thrilled by FM's customer service. They did reach back out to me and sent me a pre-paid label to get it inspected at headquarters. I'll probably send it in next week of the clicking doesn't stop.
16 psi.
Did you get the beep to alert you about pushing the board to hard?
It's a standard feature that turned on but it's really hard to hear overall so I turned it off and put my faith in pushback.
Speed should be raised to 25mph then pushback, so it’s traffic speed safe in city and neighborhoods”
While I think I'd be interested in a higher top speed, I'm okay with it being lower and therefore hurting me less whenever I nosedive.
@@CerealSnob Bart Miller went like 29 mph before it dipped
@Salty Pureblood but that’s the thing it can handle that though people got it to the high 20s without nose diving it has nothing to do with that per se it’s just they purposely put a governor on it at 20 miles an hour people on their XR can go 23 24 without nose diving barney Miller just proved he 30+ before It gave out so the GT can definitely go faster than the XR can just do to the extra torque and power and it has to keep you balanced
Where you live are they still masking up?
No. But it was a cold morning in my video where I was wearing a mask so I use that to stay warm and keep bugs out of my face.
You’re riding a one wheel outside with a mask? Bruh….
Bruh it's about keeping my face warm and bugs out of my mouth.
