Love your reaction at 6:52. It's so interestingly true to your own feelings. Besides the way you describing the fat tyre causing "gyro effect" so distinctive and clearly one of the best for what I've seen on youtube. Keep up the good work and best of luck to become one of the best "reviewers/spokesperson " for our EUC world.
16X is my first wheel and had only ridden my friends innmotion V8 before the 16x. Mine came with the CYT tire. After hearing all this talk about gyro effect and people having to get used to that I was a little nervous that I would like it. Prob helped that I didn’t have much to compare to and that I mostly learned on the 16x but man, I love this wheel!! I completely agree that It likes a little forward lean and weight shift in the turn. The more I ride it, the more I love it! I can just rip this thing around and it delivers! One reviewer said it’s like you fight the wheel a little. I’ve ridden motorcycles for years and this wheel makes me feel right at home, leaning and shifting my weight in turns. It becomes rewarding when you get it down and super stable in my opinion.
Wow! What an accurate and honest video. I own 4 wheels and have been struggling to fall in love with my new 16x. You articulated the issues and the techniques needed to tame it very accurately. I like the incredible range, the look of it, the lights and the audio quality. However, I am not very happy with the heavy weight and the general feel of it after two weeks of experience with it. While I frequently ride on gravel trails, grass, etc. I am not one to suit up in full body armor and race through the woods with my wheels. So I find that on sidewalks and streets, the wide tire is quite grabby and it scares you once in a while when it grabs grooves etc. I find it is a lot more tiring on the roads than other wheels . Not as relaxing and nimble as my 16S and 18L. It is so heavy that it's a real burden to carry it up a flight of steps. I've considered selling mine but, as you said in the video, there are times when the power and capabilities win you over. Maybe I'll try a tire change. Again, GREAT VIDEO and your mixed emotions about the 16X mirror mine!
Awesome video! I also love the original tire as much as I hated it in the beginning. For me the gyro effect caused it to be more stable when riding at high speeds. The only reason I didn't keep the original tire is because transitioning from a gyro to a non gyro wheel requires some time to adjust. So I think if this is your only wheel, stick with the original tire and learn to ride it.
If you ride motorcycles, specifically cafe style bikes, this is a natural way to ride. I've tried a few of these and found that my many years of riding motorcycles made this an easy transition for me. Now that I'm planning to purchase one I'll keep the tire issue in mind. That stock tire looks like it has a flatter profile. Like on motorcycles, tires are everything. They should give you options when ordering
@@evXNYC haha I was just like you man with my Tesla until I tried the medium and now soft mode. You can get so much more aggressive with those modes than with hard mode. I'm telling you man, those modes are intense with soft being the absolute best for aggressive riding. But I hear you, keep up the amazing production man 👍🏿👍🏿
When o bought my Z10 it felt very strange to me and i did not like it, but after experementing with different tire pressure (now 28 psi) and riding it for about 2-3 weeks. I love it! Now when i ride the Gotway msuper it feels just as strange as i thought the Z10 felt in the beginning. I think i would like the 16X with stock tire.
very nice and honest review of the 16X, the 3" tire is indeed a different approach and requires some adjustment of the rider, but i believe that once you get used to it it will become an appendage to the rider just like the thinner tire.
is there a self-balancing EUC for disabled riders (like, using the handle - but stays upright like a Segway) ? this would be a game changer for someone w/ paralysis in one lower leg.
Great video! I love the edits, the music and the content. I’m glad you compared the tires because I have been hearing so much about it and I really don’t want to change. Listening to your honest review made me feel that it’s definitely not a necessity more of a choice and that gave me comfort so thanks. I started on a V-8 then I bought a used tesla which ended up having some issues and now I have the 16 X which I love. Looks like we both will be doing more videos on the 16 X. I look forward to checking out more. check mine out when you get a chance, happy trails ... ride safe.
I think your helmet is tsg. I can't remember the exact letters but they look really good and trying to find a dealer where I can try on the different sizes. How do you like the helmet and do you know of any dealers? Amazon doesn't have that page anymore.
Moral of the story: all things new seem awkward at first. But muscle memory is a funny thing. Almost gives us a bias because we think things should feel a certain way. Until we are trying something that does all the things it should but in a different way. Our initial response is usually uncomfortable and awkward. Until we build new muscle memory which makes it more intuitive. It all comes down to neural passageways and how flexible they are, weather we know it or not.
Great video. I also have the Z10 and 16X. I really don’t think the stock tire is that bad. It’s definitely different from the 18XL. I don’t possess the know how to change the tire anyway so it’s not really something I have as an option. I wouldn’t mind trying it but like I said I don’t know how to do it.
Your body syncs up with your wheel, that’s why getting used to a gyro effect wheel takes so long. It makes an extremely stable riding platform and an awesome carving machine. Other wheels will seem fancy an unsubstantial
Thanks God i have keep my mcm5, no wobbles with my 3,2 Bar in tire and just 2,125". It's looks like sport vehicle vs over EUC fatbikes. I don't wanna be beta tester for 1900$.
Im very thankful to have watched your video before making a decision to buy this wheel. I have ridden another wheel that felt that same exact way to me. It wanted to stay upright while I was making turns. What program do you use for editing? Phone/ computer edited?
I can't imagine how the loss of the more precise maneuverability of the 2.5" is something good. I see in your vid that you miss the 3", but IMHO you didn't explain quite well why. Do you feel the bumps and street imperfections less? Does it give a safer feel? Compared to the 18L or XL, which do you think is the most comfortable to ride the streets? Sorry for all the questions, but I am currently choosing between the 16X and the 18L/XL, having riden only on the 18 ones. Thanks and props for the nice vid!
The stock tire gives you a more fun ride. Comfort and maneuverability are about the same, they just work differently. If you want a super long distance wheel get the 18XL (that was my daily wheel). If you want a totally unique wheel, thats fast, stable and comfy, get the 16x! best of luck!
Gabriel Rossini de Oliveira Jota yes it is the same range, that’s why i tried to emphasize that the ride mechanics with the stock tire are actually an attribute on this EUC. Personally, i think the torque of the 16x is worth the purchase, however i don’t see this comfy on a serious long distance ride. The 18XL is much better suited for that.
Just buy a second wheel! In all seriousness, this is a huge discussion in the onewheel community as well, especially on the Pint. Tires are really important to everything that uses a tire.
Great videos as always. I'm not sure which between the KS16X and InmotionV12 is a better option. They seem to have simillar traits and they are about $200 apart in term of pricing. Which one would you suggest? Thanks in advance.
Hello thank you for your answer, but I bought my Kingsong 16X with the original CST tire which seems kinda slippery to me when I ride on tile floor, or on paved roads (I live in Paris). I wanna try to replace it by the Chao Yang tires. I trust Chao Yang because I already used this brand on my MSUPER 3 to have more stability. And obviously, Chao Yang is doing good job on MSUPER 3. As CST, Chao Yang also has a puncture protection. On your videos, you showed how to manage to make turns by using legs and body, it's very helpful, but could you please precise what kind of riding mode did you use ? Hard one or soft one ? The hard one is more stable in my opinion, but pedals are so rigid by the way.
COOL PHILIPPE i used hard mode. The CX tire is slippery for the first 200km but then when it wears down it’s much better. But CY works too. Do what you love!
Hi there. What is the difference in ride feel on a less/no gyro tyre 16X versus a 18XL? And is there still a bit more Z10-ism when cornering at high speeds than the 18XL, or are they pretty much the same?
TheseusMinor so if you get a 16x with the chao yang tire they are now shipping with it’ll feel extremely close to the 18XL. But since it’s a wider tire (3 inches) it’ll feel stable and there will be a small trace of that z10 feel. But not enough for it to be weird. It’ll take a few days to get used to, and then you won’t even notice. Double check with your dealer which tire they are shipping with. I feel like it changes every month lol.
lol @ the click bait title. Spoiler: evX likes his new 2.5" tire, but he also sorta likes his old 3.5" tire, and absolutely nothing went "WRONG" (I just saved you 10 minutes!)
Hi evX again, I also have the KS-16X and I'm wondering which are the two tires references (the stock one and the one behaving as a 2,5" tire)? Thank you very much
Wow bro loved your new channel. At least this video.. Impressive job great editing. I'm thinking to buy the ks 16x next month through ks.. They made me an offer so i think i will pick one. Sub to your channel. Great job hope to see more videos from you. I would loved to have your quality when i started. Have a nice day bro
what psi do you recommend for the ks18xl, i have it at 36psi and sometimes experience wobble at high speeds on asphalt. i'm 200lbs so i thought higher tire pressure is needed. any suggestions?
crosshair i weigh about 165 and i ride the 18XL at 40 psi. I would try higher first, then gradually let some air out to see what feels best. We often talk about the beach ball effect. If the wheel feels like riding a beach ball, it’s too inflated. But if the psi doesn’t feel like that, it could be your stance, riding style, etc making you experience wobbles. Def try different stuff and check out my video on 3 tips to be a better rider. Let me know how it all turns out. -M
Good review - great filming and nice delivery! I have subscribed 😁 I have a Z10 and I enjoy the ride challenge, so I can see where you're coming from re the 16X stock tyre. Good that 16X riders actually have the choice, but I don't quite get why swapping one 2.5 inch tyre for another 2.5 inch tyre makes such a difference? Is it to do with recommended pressure? Or tread pattern?
I’m still trying to figure out the best wheel for me to start out. I like riding my Onewheel pint off road but if I do commute it’s only a 4 mile commute. I can ride a real unicycle but never tried an euc and every time I try to purchase one I get overwhelmed
My 16 X is on the way this week. Mine sharing the model of the tire you purchased? You mentioned a CST tire? On my 16s I got tired of flats so shot some slime in the tube and it’s working well for extra puncture protection.
Jesse Martin is you contact ewheels.com tell them you want the Nikola CST tire. It’s not expensive, and worth buying from the big US dealer. Unless you’re in the UK, in which case you can contact speedyfeet. Keep riding!
Ugh, I keep flipping back and forth on the next EUC I want. I have a Inmotion V8, but do I get another 16” wheel? Was leaning towards the KS16X then toward a Nikola....maybe an MSX... and now you got me thinking about that KS16X again!!
thats quite the wide range of wheels you're thinking about. If you've got the money to spend and want an amazing, unique wheel, and dont need inssane speeds, get the 16x. If youre a true speed demon, get the MSX, if you only plan to ride twice a year, get the V8 ;)
DON HAND that load limit has more to do with the axel. The 16x is a great wheel but above certain speeds can have motor over current power draw that would occur sooner for heavier riders.
About to purchase One of these EUC Kingsong 16x Kingsong 18xl or Msuper X Ninebot One z10 GARBAGE Which one do you recommend My weight is 240 pounds size 11/30 shoe
Great video, I have had a very limited experience on the 16X and immediately notice a little bit of the Z10 effect, which in and of it'self it's not a bad thing I am just not used to it. Having said that my question is: have you had the chance to try out the MSX especially in the 100V version? Admittedly I may suffer from a Gotway bias but I am convinced that the MSX still reigns supreme and not just in terms of speed. The whole riding experience is still unmatched imho. It's a beast of a machine and is as sharp as a knife in terms of responsiveness
Jacopo i have ridden the MSX. The 18” tire is built like a tank and made to be like a steam roller over bumps. It’s a well rested wheel that has done well. But it’ll never be as nimble as any 16” tire. MSX is always a great choice!! Liking GotWay more isn’t a bad thing, there’s only 2 major companies and some people like one or the other. However I’m a fan of both. They both have their draw backs in different ways. For speed GotWay is the only way to go. For built quality and comfort, Kingsong is the way to go.
@@evXNYC I will have to disagree on that. I believe that the 4 major manufacturers (gw,Ks,9bot,Inmotion) of EUCs are pretty much equal in terms of quality. They have all had their fair share of problems. The whole industry is in its infancy and companies like GW and KS can be considered mom and pop businesses. Ninebot-Segway is the only company on the market with lots of money since they backed up by the chinese technology giant Xiaomi but their unicycle segment is not their most profitable and even though their model Z looks stunning in terms of design, it is not necessarily the best engineered. My poin is that I believe that the distintion between Gotway being the speed king and KingSong being the quality king is false and largely attributable to marketing strategies.
@@evXNYC any chance you could send me a few to the uk so i can put them on my epv's plz i have a few different machines and i love the way your logo looks, are you on insta, I'll dm you my address if poss, thanks for the reply 👍👍 ill pay whatever it costs 😁😁
Hey buddy I am a first timer to this unicycle stuff. I am more a skateboard/scooter rider right now. What would be a decent first WHEEL FOR ME?🙋♂️ Any advise would be appreciated 👍
RIDE w/ PRIDE that’s a tough one. However I’d say, don’t get one with a small battery. Most people start with a smaller one due to price, but VERY soon after they want to buy a bigger one and regret buying the smaller wheel.
@@evXNYC what you say of course is true even with my purchase of an electric scooter. Instead of going with a swaggatron for 500 I went with the Ecoreco L5 Plus Electric scooter for $1,100.00 the Mac Truck of Scooters😉👍so your right. I will look into the Kingsong 16X
where did this guy come from? never seen him out with any of the EUC guys. Say what's up to NYCEB some time, come out to the NYEF, the largest rideable festival that we help fillipachi throw. Nice vid.
Murphy the Turtle haha i been here in NYC for the last 12 years. I ride with the EUC guys on the reg. I chill with Tishawn and Yim and David. Hope to see you at the festival. Ride chill bro! 😎😉
@@evXNYC just surprised, this is Jesse, this is my trolling account lol. But yeah, been boys with tisawn and David for years, hence my surprise. nice edit, and see you at NYEF:D
@@evXNYC Awesome, thanks! Just quick question: does on your chin guard is a note "Chin guard does not protect from impact"? I have my helmet with removable chin guard and it says that on mine. I'm worried about this as it's not tested for impacts :P
I just hit 1000 km on the 16X on the stock tire 🥳. As of this moment, I am the most experienced rider of the 16X by a wide margin. Take a moment to appreciate that folks. Spending 'an hour' on this wheel is not giving it a 'fair shot'. This dude completely missed out on appreciating the strengths of this tire, and expanding their riding skills. There is nothing wrong with that, but understand the reviewer prematurely dismissed before understanding - just like someone complaining that an airplane can't fit on a road. For a more balanced view of what to expect, you owe it to yourself to look at my day to day wheelog on the stock tire: forum.electricunicycle.org/topic/14918-kingsong-16x-reviewwheelogjournal-🐸/ You'll notice I had exactly the same opinions on this tire early on - but I pushed through that adaptation phase, and now am thoroughly loving it. As for the CST tire: that's kind of old news. Eddiemoy has experimented with several better alternatives if you're going for the non-gyro effect that you're used to.
Chris Lee thanks man! Glad you dig the content. I obviously spent more than 1 hr on the tire haha. I spent 7 days, and by the end, grew to love the tire. It’s truly unique. Thanks for watching. Like and subscribe if you wanna keep this channel going. Peace brother!
I just went to 16x from 18L and I'm having a hard time getting used to it. As soon as I get over the 25/30 kmh on the asphalt I feel absolutely insecure, especially when turning. I hope it's just a fact of "acclimatization" to the new monowheel.
PN it may take time but I’d also check your PSI. I had to considerably lower my normal psi level. For reference, i used to ride at 40 psi on my 18XL, and now on the 16x, I ride at 30 psi. At 40 it felt like i was riding a beach ball that had a mind of its own. Maybe try 10 psi lower than normal. But if the wheel starts to feel too grippy or is dragging, pump it up 2-5 psi from your initial degrading. Hope this helps!!

Sub to your channel. Great job hope to see more videos from you. I would loved to have your quality when i started. Have a nice day bro
MADpack thanks! Got a lot more planned for the channel. Spread the word!
@@evXNYC maybe one day we make a video together. Have a nice day my friend
what psi do you recommend for the ks18xl, i have it at 36psi and sometimes experience wobble at high speeds on asphalt. i'm 200lbs so i thought higher tire pressure is needed. any suggestions?
crosshair i weigh about 165 and i ride the 18XL at 40 psi. I would try higher first, then gradually let some air out to see what feels best. We often talk about the beach ball effect. If the wheel feels like riding a beach ball, it’s too inflated. But if the psi doesn’t feel like that, it could be your stance, riding style, etc making you experience wobbles. Def try different stuff and check out my video on 3 tips to be a better rider. Let me know how it all turns out. -M
@@evXNYC it feels bumpier now. I'll try 33psi.
Appreciate the quick reply. =)
Good review - great filming and nice delivery! I have subscribed 😁 I have a Z10 and I enjoy the ride challenge, so I can see where you're coming from re the 16X stock tyre. Good that 16X riders actually have the choice, but I don't quite get why swapping one 2.5 inch tyre for another 2.5 inch tyre makes such a difference? Is it to do with recommended pressure? Or tread pattern?
swapping the tire radically chnages how to wheel operates and turns. Its about how much body weigh and effrot is needed to make turns and adjustments.
I’m still trying to figure out the best wheel for me to start out. I like riding my Onewheel pint off road but if I do commute it’s only a 4 mile commute. I can ride a real unicycle but never tried an euc and every time I try to purchase one I get overwhelmed
Message me on my Instagram and i can help: @evx_mick
Just install some Kuji pads and you're golden.
Darth Vader def gonna make some soon. Gonna need it for big jumps. So Glad he made that video.
Looking forward to your take on the pads. 👍
My 16 X is on the way this week. Mine sharing the model of the tire you purchased? You mentioned a CST tire? On my 16s I got tired of flats so shot some slime in the tube and it’s working well for extra puncture protection.
Jesse Martin is you contact ewheels.com tell them you want the Nikola CST tire. It’s not expensive, and worth buying from the big US dealer. Unless you’re in the UK, in which case you can contact speedyfeet. Keep riding!
Annnnnd if given more time .. maybe you'll love the Z10 also!!!! JUST MAYBE????
Hsiang haaaaa! No waaaay! Lol 😂
Where is this product made?
China
Nice Wheel this 16X 👍
Which one better 16x or 18xl ..am trying to get one but can't decide which one better .
janny khan get the 18XL
The transformation from RIDER to E-MOTIONEER
That turning seems normal, i have to do this on my msx
Ugh, I keep flipping back and forth on the next EUC I want. I have a Inmotion V8, but do I get another 16” wheel? Was leaning towards the KS16X then toward a Nikola....maybe an MSX... and now you got me thinking about that KS16X again!!
thats quite the wide range of wheels you're thinking about. If you've got the money to spend and want an amazing, unique wheel, and dont need inssane speeds, get the 16x. If youre a true speed demon, get the MSX, if you only plan to ride twice a year, get the V8 ;)
Will you recommend KingSong 16X than Inmotion V8F for beginners?
V8F for beginner
Interesting insight on the 3" wheel. I'm 6'1" and 210lbs. Would you recommend the 16X for myself as a EUC beginner?
I would not. This wheel has known issues with power and heavier riders. I’d say look at the 18XL from Kingsong.
@@evXNYC Oh really? The max load limit on the 18XL is actually less.
DON HAND that load limit has more to do with the axel. The 16x is a great wheel but above certain speeds can have motor over current power draw that would occur sooner for heavier riders.
4:12 hi what is your helmet? Thanks!
TSG pass helmet
About to purchase One of these EUC Kingsong 16x Kingsong 18xl or Msuper X Ninebot One z10 GARBAGE Which one do you recommend My weight is 240 pounds size 11/30 shoe
Ernesto Nieves m super X
Have you gotten a chance to try an Msuper? I'd love to try the kingsong if your interested in meeting up.
NoNamesLeftFuk i have tried the MSX quite a bit. It’s a dope EUC!
Great video, I have had a very limited experience on the 16X and immediately notice a little bit of the Z10 effect, which in and of it'self it's not a bad thing I am just not used to it. Having said that my question is: have you had the chance to try out the MSX especially in the 100V version? Admittedly I may suffer from a Gotway bias but I am convinced that the MSX still reigns supreme and not just in terms of speed. The whole riding experience is still unmatched imho. It's a beast of a machine and is as sharp as a knife in terms of responsiveness
Jacopo i have ridden the MSX. The 18” tire is built like a tank and made to be like a steam roller over bumps. It’s a well rested wheel that has done well. But it’ll never be as nimble as any 16” tire. MSX is always a great choice!! Liking GotWay more isn’t a bad thing, there’s only 2 major companies and some people like one or the other. However I’m a fan of both. They both have their draw backs in different ways. For speed GotWay is the only way to go. For built quality and comfort, Kingsong is the way to go.
@@evXNYC I will have to disagree on that. I believe that the 4 major manufacturers (gw,Ks,9bot,Inmotion) of EUCs are pretty much equal in terms of quality. They have all had their fair share of problems. The whole industry is in its infancy and companies like GW and KS can be considered mom and pop businesses. Ninebot-Segway is the only company on the market with lots of money since they backed up by the chinese technology giant Xiaomi but their unicycle segment is not their most profitable and even though their model Z looks stunning in terms of design, it is not necessarily the best engineered. My poin is that I believe that the distintion between Gotway being the speed king and KingSong being the quality king is false and largely attributable to marketing strategies.
@@jacopo125 Exactly, Inmotion make amazing wheels in terms of quality. For me they are at the top along with KS.
Great video, great contribution to the EUC community. What do you prefer? KS 16 or 18?
Sebastián Hernández G. For everyday use i prefer the 16x, but for long distance the 18XL is king!
Well Done
Hey where did you get the ewhere decal on your wheel case?
I am part of the evwhere company. We make clothing for EV riders. We just give out tons of them to people we meet. 😎
@@evXNYC any chance you could send me a few to the uk so i can put them on my epv's plz i have a few different machines and i love the way your logo looks, are you on insta, I'll dm you my address if poss, thanks for the reply 👍👍 ill pay whatever it costs 😁😁
you damn clickbait god :P
you are doing it right though. not too much, not too little
Hey buddy I am a first timer to this unicycle stuff. I am more a skateboard/scooter rider right now. What would be a decent first WHEEL FOR ME?🙋♂️
Any advise would be appreciated 👍
RIDE w/ PRIDE that’s a tough one. However I’d say, don’t get one with a small battery. Most people start with a smaller one due to price, but VERY soon after they want to buy a bigger one and regret buying the smaller wheel.
@@evXNYC what you say of course is true even with my purchase of an electric scooter. Instead of going with a swaggatron for 500 I went with the Ecoreco L5 Plus Electric scooter for $1,100.00 the Mac Truck of Scooters😉👍so your right. I will look into the Kingsong 16X
RIDE w/ PRIDE if you live in the USA, call Jason at ewheels and he can help you decide.
@@evXNYC
I live in Brooklyn NY😎👌
RIDE w/ PRIDE best place to live! What hood you in?
Marty, did you review this wheel?
Jo be he’s left kingsong behind lol
How does it compare to 18xl
I think I made a video on that 😊
Thank you so much. Tell me of yur helmet
shayne caesar it’s the TSG PASS
thank you ev X
where did this guy come from? never seen him out with any of the EUC guys. Say what's up to NYCEB some time, come out to the NYEF, the largest rideable festival that we help fillipachi throw. Nice vid.
Murphy the Turtle haha i been here in NYC for the last 12 years. I ride with the EUC guys on the reg. I chill with Tishawn and Yim and David. Hope to see you at the festival. Ride chill bro! 😎😉
@@evXNYC just surprised, this is Jesse, this is my trolling account lol. But yeah, been boys with tisawn and David for years, hence my surprise. nice edit, and see you at NYEF:D
hey evX, You are right in many but I dont agree with you in some points. I really like your videos. you could check out some of my ks16x vids :D
It’s just my experience when i first used that wheel. This opinion might be different now
Your a natural
Whee can I get your helmet, love it! 😍
Jaroslaw Rybinski it’s the TSG PASS, and i got it on Amazon. But check their native website too. Beware, it’s almost always sold out lol.
@@evXNYC Awesome, thanks! Just quick question: does on your chin guard is a note "Chin guard does not protect from impact"?
I have my helmet with removable chin guard and it says that on mine. I'm worried about this as it's not tested for impacts :P
Jaroslaw Rybinski no mine does not say that. It will protect you from a fall. 😎
ev X so I know that will be m net helmet :) they have it on Amazon :D
Jaroslaw Rybinski right on!! It’s a great helmet.
3:37 Биг бубс... у колеса это тоже есть? )))
Nice
I just hit 1000 km on the 16X on the stock tire 🥳. As of this moment, I am the most experienced rider of the 16X by a wide margin. Take a moment to appreciate that folks.
Spending 'an hour' on this wheel is not giving it a 'fair shot'. This dude completely missed out on appreciating the strengths of this tire, and expanding their riding skills. There is nothing wrong with that, but understand the reviewer prematurely dismissed before understanding - just like someone complaining that an airplane can't fit on a road.
For a more balanced view of what to expect, you owe it to yourself to look at my day to day wheelog on the stock tire: forum.electricunicycle.org/topic/14918-kingsong-16x-reviewwheelogjournal-🐸/
You'll notice I had exactly the same opinions on this tire early on - but I pushed through that adaptation phase, and now am thoroughly loving it.
As for the CST tire: that's kind of old news. Eddiemoy has experimented with several better alternatives if you're going for the non-gyro effect that you're used to.
Chris Lee thanks man! Glad you dig the content. I obviously spent more than 1 hr on the tire haha. I spent 7 days, and by the end, grew to love the tire. It’s truly unique. Thanks for watching. Like and subscribe if you wanna keep this channel going. Peace brother!
I just went to 16x from 18L and I'm having a hard time getting used to it. As soon as I get over the 25/30 kmh on the asphalt I feel absolutely insecure, especially when turning. I hope it's just a fact of "acclimatization" to the new monowheel.
PN it may take time but I’d also check your PSI. I had to considerably lower my normal psi level. For reference, i used to ride at 40 psi on my 18XL, and now on the 16x, I ride at 30 psi. At 40 it felt like i was riding a beach ball that had a mind of its own. Maybe try 10 psi lower than normal. But if the wheel starts to feel too grippy or is dragging, pump it up 2-5 psi from your initial degrading. Hope this helps!!
@@evXNYC Many thank's for your answer!!! what tire pressure do you suggest for a 96kg pilot?
PN try 35 psi. If it’s still too stiff, then drop it down to 30.
Change the title to include "Tire".
Nice vid bro. I rode with a TH-camr lol
Electro Cycle yeah buddy!!
Wish I could afford one
Truett Calvin i has to sell an old wheel to get this one haha
what is this music ugh
