I have Nylonove pedals on my S18 and by the sounds of your review I think I will purchase a pair for my Sherman S. Awesome review, very detailed amazing graphics! Keep the videos coming!!!!
@@manapeace Hey thanks for the tip! I believe I just read your post. Here's the link for anyone else who is curious: facebook.com/groups/1428766734278829/permalink/1555105011645000/
I actually adjusted my Nylonove studs downward by a fraction, as they were for me too grippy, I nearly couldn’t get my hiking boot out and off the pedal when it came time for the first dismount. I got the non-bite system but without the overlays. I have Nylonove pedals on my MSP and my V2 Sherman, and like yourself love the slight flex they give. I was so surprised when I first got them to note that two Nn pedals weighed a fair bit less than one single Gotway CNC studded pedal, which is a decent weight saving (750g v 1880g!), which must be of help more generally. Cheers from Scotland!
Hey Forester, good to know thanks for the info. It seems by comparison my boots are just a bit slippery. I'll be keeping an eye out (no rush) for replacement boots in the future, hopefully with Boa or quick laces.
I swear by Nylonove foot plates. It was a game changer for me on my OG Sherman. And just that slight micro flex made such a difference. Hoping Nylonove will have a V13 specific foot plate in the near future but might have a look at their other options since I *think* the foot plate mounting measurement is pretty standard on the V13. I'll DEFINITELY be ordering a pair months prior to ordering my Sherman S later this year. Just not the same riding a Sherman with anything else. Liking the new graphics on the comparison BTW. Next level achieved! Ride hard, ride safe mate!
Just replacing the Philip's screws with set screws helped tremendously. Planning to just shave a bit some of the studs and drill/tap them to add more set screws. Probably will end up costing a whopping 5$CAD and 2h of labor 😂
@@jonoeuc BTW, small question. If the bearings are 100% seated right (mine have 0.5mm variation at the axle), could it be possible that it could lead to oscillations of the wheel at the tire level ? I've got one of more than 1/8 inches and wondering if it couldnt be the source of power he problem.
Those pedals should comming with stock Sherman S as its a premium wheel. Replaceable pedal hangers could be even better like on Patton, but still ok until you crash them realy hard and then you'll need to replace whole battery case
Sherman has updated them for the latest versions. I was supplied with them too and have been meaning to make a quick video about it. The hangers are hanging in there after two crashes so far. cheers
I've personally had experience with hard flat soles on moto boots causing issues on all kinds of studded plates. My personal favourite shoes for studded plates are Vans, because the waffle pattern bottoms really bite and the studs sink into the pattern; basically like what you were trying to achieve with the custom sole modifications. Some plates are clearly better than others when it comes to compensating for a less optimal shoe pattern, but I think the bottom of the shoe contributes as much if not more to the quality of the grab onto any studded plate.
100% I'm reluctant to get new shoes but it seems they just really suck lol. The rubber is very hard and non grippy. With all the mods they've been decant so far... But can still feel that they aren't 'gripping' properly with the rubber. I'll be keeping an eye out (no rush) for replacement boots in the future, hopefully with Boa or quick laces.
@@jonoeuc I've now received my Batch 3 SS and ridden it for 3 weeks, I'm up to almost 500km, and as I suspected, with my Vans I've actually not had a problem with the stock footplates. I'll agree with everyone that they aren't ideal because the cupped shape of the lip doesn't let you get the full engagement with the spikes, only the tips... but I still think the design of the sole of the shoe and the type of shoe matters a lot. I am also using grizzla flow pads to help lock my feet in more, but I still give myself enough room in the toe to easily mount and dismount, and go seated. I also came from the V11, and have the inmotion hex pedals, so maybe my experience was with less ideal spiked plates than nylonoves or similar, but the SS stock pedals are for me just as good as the V11 hex plates. I think for anyone looking to ride MTB style plates, motorcycle boots are generally very hard and not designed to grip, they're designed to slide in a crash, so the soles aren't ideal. Waffle pattern soles that the spikes can sink into, along with good pads are more important than the specific pedal design.
Wow Jon Crazy you have been to this much trouble to get her feeling great but glad you have managed to in the end I havent had any issues with the V13 ones so im leaving them stock great video mate :)
Yeah the ShermS was a rocky start for me, super dialed in now. Ah that's great re your V13, Have you had any issues, motor bolts or rebound adjusters can snap? I reckon the V13 would've been better out of the box for me. i'll have to get to Brisbane to ride one sometime :) Cheers
@@jonoeuc not one problem and the wheel is a rocket you need to get one the weight your body adjusts to it and the thing is with power assistance it makes it feel like a V12 it's bloody amazing
hello, can I have your opinion on your helmet mirror ? know where you put it exactly, and if the grip is solid? if we see well? if the vibrations do not interfere with visibility? why didn't you choose a wrist mirror? THANKS
Hi Fabre, A helmet mirror is always in the right position and ready to go. A wrist mirror isn't. You have to attach it each time (or attach to the wrist guards). You have to position your arm/hand everytime. this may also trick other people into thinking you're indicating a turn when you're just looking at the wrist mirror. The helmet mirror is almost essential and I hate riding without it. It's for keeping an eye on upcoming vehicles or cyclists etc when on the footpaths. Keeping an eye on buddies during a group ride. A shoulder check is still needed for turns. It is small but I can see enough. If the sun is up to my right, behind the mirror it's useless. To position it, put on the helmet first and hold the mirror onto the helmet. I position it above my eyeline so I don't lose any visibility. If you're in a right side driving country then put it on the Left (or one each side lol). Mine is on the right for Aus. Lift your visor all the way up before attaching. The stock attachment is velcro which is useless. I built up a curved profile of double sided tape. Hope that helps Cheers jono
This is off subject but I can’t find anywhere about the subject. Can I leave my Sherman S in high speed mode all the time? Does it cause damage to the battery, motor, etc over time?
Yes you can leave it in HS mode, however running the batteries down very low all the time is what hurts them. Make sure you don't run below 80 volts to be safe.
cheers! I've just gotten the Sherman S free replacement footplates. Yet to try them, they appear to have far greater grip. However they're quite thin. The strength needs to be tested by willing test dummies!
@@jonoeuc Front rod is easy to remove . już power driver and 5mm bit . rear rod is imposible to remove . yesterday tried with no luck . Want to remove footplates to celan .
in what way? It's hard to say without trying them. The NyloNove wins for me because they're larger, more studs around the end toes for seated riding, stud length adjustable and the slight flex for foot comfort (although this turned out to be minor).
I was a bit taken aback too. It was quite boldly written in the instructions. My guess is that there's a chance of tearing out the thread with the locktight since it's a Thermoplastic material.

A lot of thought and effort went into producing this video. Thanks Jon
Great video. For my Sherman S, I have the eRides spiked pedals. Very happy with them. Ride safe🙏
thanks :) Good choice! I'm curious if you had those issues installing them or the floppiness falling down?

Much appreciated!

np! haha yeah luckily it wasn't a bad crash.

The free Sherman S footplate upgrade is OK, not amazing. Nylonove still my fav.
Damn I just had a look and nothing for the V13.
cheers mate, you too
We got the same idea of grinding the stock footplates rod :)
Your video quality is impressive as always !
perfect! Thanks, put too much into this one haha. have to save some footage for the 2000km vid.
Well done. Looks like you did a mountain of work to produce this. Nice production skills here Jon
Cheers Jon, yeah too much haha.

Probably will end up costing a whopping 5$CAD and 2h of labor 😂
definitely worthwhile haha
I already had the Nylonove on order and was like hmm well then.

@@jonoeuc sadly most of shoes pads are made from more like plastic instead of rubber and very slipery on ice.
@@milordas do you ride in the snow / ice? that'd be something. i'd definitely get different boots!

as far as I know, just like Darren said,
I've been in HS mode for awhile now.

Hi, what foot size you have? Mine is 44 or 10 USA measure, and i'm worried if that pedal is too tight.
eu43 usa10, hope that helps
Pretty cool 3D effects

Yep , and cant remove these one rod in Nylonove pedals ?
not sure what you mean?
@@jonoeuc Front rod is easy to remove . już power driver and 5mm bit . rear rod is imposible to remove . yesterday tried with no luck . Want to remove footplates to celan .
Wouldn't E-Rodes CNC pedals be better then Nylenove?
in what way?
It's hard to say without trying them. The NyloNove wins for me because they're larger, more studs around the end toes for seated riding, stud length adjustable and the slight flex for foot comfort (although this turned out to be minor).
No loctite? Is it because loctite was already applied from the factory?
I was a bit taken aback too. It was quite boldly written in the instructions. My guess is that there's a chance of tearing out the thread with the locktight since it's a Thermoplastic material.
@@jonoeuc oh.... I see. I could be wrong, but I believe loctite is only for metal. Maybe that's why.
Why did I look at stock first😂😂😂❤
They do the trick for some riders with a deep treaded boot!
