Onewheel is a product made by Future Motion. If you are in warranty, you can also send your board back to Future Motion for repair. This option wasn't mentioned in this video in part because shipping and repair turnaround times are not ideal for most. - Jak na to + styl
I'm superglad this video made it to the top of the search list .. you're doing an amazing job
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it.
So many good things that I love about your video:
1) the scene where you went into the brush. Hilarious, thank you for sharing that
2) good info
3) great editting as always
4) Javier and Chris doing a few tricks. Love seeing those guys ride.
Keep the videos coming Don, and I will keep watching.
PS Chris and Emily rock! I might need Chris's services when my trail pro comes in.
Thank you so much!!! Don't hesitate to reach out to Chris. He's such a great guy! I really appreciate the support 🙏🏾
Saving this video for future reference. Thanks man. Also subscribed to your channel.
Thanks so much! That means a lot to me! I freaked out when I got my flat, but really didn't need to. I hope this is helpful to others who experience a flat.
Don, thanks for sharing your expertise.
I’m glad this is helpful. This was more like my personal trials and errors 😅
Thanks for watching!
Another great, much needed video Don! Looking forward to the next one.
Oh, and we've got Armordilloz in stock @ Capital Paddlesports!!!
Best place to buy! Thanks, Bruce!
Great vid man! Got me wanting to get my pint back out on the road!!
I just got an XR and I rarely ride my Pint now. Usually, it's my go to when it's raining or when I'm teaching someone to ride and they are using my XR. But the Pint is still my first love!
Great video. I also ride a pint and same weight. I had the Burris c&r treaded tire installed on mine.
How do you like the tire? Do you ride more street or trails?
Thanks for this video, gunna change my tire myself for the first time next month
You got this! There are quite a few useful tutorials that cover the steps. Which tire are you changing to?
great genuine video dude. one tip with tire sealants, if its in your tire and you have leak, while the tire is inflated with some pressure still:
Locate the cause, if its a puncture (like your first tire) - turn off the board, rotate the tire so the puncture is pointing down and let the sealant work its way down and into the hole.
Yes! Good tip. I forgot to mention that and you’re absolutely right. Thanks for watching the video and writing the comment!
Yeah Don! Dropping them GEMS 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thanks for the support, Javier!
@@followdon no doubt bro! You know how I do! I do what I can! Dope vid! Keepm coming! Let's hit those marks!
I picked up a pint for my son for Xmas and he got a flat right out of the box within the first couple miles. I really appreciate you sharing your experience. So with that being said I guess we are off to the bike shop today to search for a comparable product. Also the rider weight to air pressure ratio helps too.
Sorry about the early flat! I definitely believe in using Armor Dilloz. @Mario Contino recommends an alternate tire sealant on his channel called 'Flat Out' in this video: czcams.com/video/YhRoQSHegMI/video.html. I hope your son gets back afloat soon!
You channel is great my friend! Thanks for interesting OW content! :-) God bless you and your family!
Thank you so much. That’s very kind of you to say. God bless you and your family as well!
Great video Don! Excited to try out a new tire eventually on my XR after my year mark! Going to have to bug you or Chris to help me replase it though cause I am no where near as crafty lol
I have zero experience replacing tires on the XR. But we’re so lucky to have such an amazing and supportive community in the DMV. You’ll have no problems finding help at all. Let’s keep pushing!
Thanks bro.lynk in colorado...works awesome in snow
The tire sealant does, or the Pint?
Javi be MOVIN
And he hops huge curbs like it’s nothing!
Good video Thank you for posting. I've often wondered though Why not slime over armadillo it seems to be the norm or prefer.. maybe
Slime might work. The owner of Armordilloz is embedded in the Onewheel community and makes a product that definitely works well. I’ve had only one scenario where Dilloz didn’t work. It was to patch a sidewall flat from a faulty Burris tire. They stamped their logos too deep on the SS-11 Slick tires.
Just realized you live in my area. Looking forward to linking with you. I just joined the FB group also
Awesome, man! We get out on group rides fairly often. Join the Telegram too for impromptu rides.
@@followdon will do, what's the name of the telegram chat?
Send me your phone number on Instagram and I will invite you to the group.

I know that this is the number one mileage rider of all time but, I always thought he was a young kid …… makes me feel better as a newbie at 50!
I love that riders of all ages are getting on a board and having a good time. Congratulations to you for starting to ride at 50 years young! Thanks for watching and commenting 🙏🏾
What is the name of that air compressor?
link?!
great vid !
The compressor amzn.to/3Cj4sQT. I don’t really recommend it though. The plastic where the removable power cord is pushed inside the unit. It’s not very durable. Their cheaper compressor actually looks better: amzn.to/3kgnQrL. Thank you for watching! I’ll add the link to the video description.
👏🏼👏🏼

So im new to this, i just ordered my onewheel pint. What tire is the best for all terrains and has high durability?
Congratulations on the new board! For the Pint, start with the stock and don’t change it until you need to. If you are all trails all the time, you might consider a treaded tire, but the stock Pint tire works well.
Im tryinna do that VR Boxing man
It’s fun! And a great workout! The Oculus Quest 2 is about $300.
Which tire do you prefer between the XtraRad and the Whisper?
I enjoyed the Whisper better. It has a more rounded profile so it is less stable feeling, but I liked the nimble feel and the soft ride on the road. I can tell that the XtraRad is more durable. The XtraRad is quiet like the Whisper but you'll feel bumps with the XtraRad more than the Whisper. The XtraRad is still cool though.
@@followdon I thought I was the only one given the popularity of the Xtrarad. I inflate it to 27 psi to try to achieve the nimbleness the whisper provides
I’ll have to try that. Thanks for the tip!
Isn't the warranty on the one wheel only six months anyways? how did you go through four tires in 6 months
The stock tire I had still had some life in it but it started to warp in shape in a way that made the ride less enjoyable. The Whisper is a very thin tire and in normal riding I would get down to the threads. So far the Xtrarad is holding up longer, but I ride my Pint much less now that I have an XR. The warranty is 12 months (or 1243 miles) for items other than the footpad, tire, and battery pack, and 6 months (or 622 miles) for the other board parts. Not super generous for sure. My Pint is way out of warranty now, and my XR is approaching its OOW status with mileage alone.
@@followdon thanks for the reply, im still deciding to get one or not
How many miles do u ride until u replace ? Whats the life expectancy?
Personally, I run through a tire every 1,500 miles or so. But it depends on the tire, the terrain, rider weight, and other factors. I weigh 233 lbs. on average. For the tires, harder compounds last longer than softer compound tires. I used to ride the Burris SS-11. That tire is a soft compound and gets less life than the SS-33 variety (harder compound).
👍
🙏🏾
Do you really think swapping a tire will void your warranty lmfaooo this fuckin guy
The tire warranty is only good for 6 months and the site says this:
WARRANTY
THE FOLLOWING ARE NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY
“The product has been dismantled or repaired by an unauthorized third party.”
“Natural wear and tear that does not affect product function (including scratches and wear and tear on frame rails, footpad, tires, etc.)”
Source: onewheel.com/pages/warranty
@@followdon the law is the manufacturer has to prove whatever modification you made was the cause of the malfunction. They can’t just void your warranty. It’s illegal to do so. Go ahead an google that.
So one wheel don’t replace tires?
Onewheel does replace tires. It’s often more expensive considering you’ll have to cover shipping a heavy board. Then you’ll have to pay for the service. And you won’t get to choose your tire type. Tire choice is not a big deal if you love the stock Vega tires. I’m not sure how they’ll respond if you’ve installed 3rd party aftermarket items on your board. onewheel.com/products/tire-change
Personally changing your tire is something YOU should do, unless you don't believe in yourself... it wasn't hard to get the board taken apart, the hardest part is trying to get the tire off the rim and putting the new one on and setting the bead!
Yes. And early on there is the confidence factor. You may be worried about doing irreparable damage out of ignorance and inexperience. Also, some may not have the tools to take the task on. Now I’d be more confident changing the tire on my own.
I voided my warranty when I first got it lmao
Glad I haven’t needed to send mine back!
I've been riding OneWheel for 3+ years and changing your tire DOES NOT void your warranty.
That only happens if you break something in the process.
I'm not sure how many have tried to send their Onewheel to Future Motion for whatever reason after a tire change, but your risk of having service denied for an in-warranty board is dramatically reduced if you keep everything stock and fill your flat with a sealant I would imagine. Personally, I exited the warranty period long ago based to the number of miles on my board, but when I had my first flat there was a good chance it was still in warranty. But it would have been prohibitively expensive and unnecessary to ship my board to FM from Washington, DC, then wait for them to fix it and send it back when a sub $20 tire sealant would have fixed the issue.
@@followdon I'm just talking from experience. I've sent in several boards since getting my first OW in early 2018. I've been denied warranty on broken controllers because they claimed it was due to "impact damage" but they have never once said anything about my tire, sidekicks, Badgered board, or new grip tape.
I have spoken to people inside the FM circle and they confirmed that your warranty is only void if you break something in the process.
Having said all that, sending your board in just for a tire change is so crazy to me. Changing your tire is so damn easy. Also if people don't feel comfortable they can just take it to a local Stoke Life Service repair shop. (Which I am actually a member of)
@@c0pyimitati0n thank you for sharing your experience!
Plugs won't work?
What plugs do you recommend? I have found the Dilloz tire sealant to work the best for me.
@@followdon I'd probably use any old plug you can get at Walmart or wherever. Depends if the leak is from a big screw,nail,cut ect.... I haven't had any leaks yet knock on wood🪵
@@macflyguy5166 one benefit of the sealant over a plug is that it fixes the current hole and then also those that might arise in the future. The sealant stays liquid within your tire and naturally and quickly fills holes before they become a problem.
Onewheel doesn’t have a warranty if nobody has ever had it honored.
These guys need a lesson in customer service.
To their credit, the wanted to help me with my flat, but it would have been prohibitively expensive to send my board from DC to California to get a resolution. I’m glad to have a community of riders nearby that were ready and willing to help me for tire changes and everything else.
Im Don-ald
Aye!!!! Good name!
