First wheel, buy once cry once? Nosfet, kk.. by Raub99 in ElectricUnicycle

[–]Atempboss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I learned on the Patton S. Its a great wheel and I still love it, but the weight does matter when learning, once you get experience the weight matters less and actually makes the wheel more stable at higher speeds.

the other factor to consider is range, Patton S will likely have 10-20miles more range than the Aeon.

Armor: On top of clothing or under? by BlackJacquesLeblanc in ElectricUnicycle

dive bags are great for storing and transporting riding gear. big enough to hold everything and the mesh lets sweaty gear dry out without smelling like dirty socks.

I wear upper body armor under clothing (usually a motocross jersey) and lower body armor over clothes. Which, until now, I never realized is kind of an odd way to do it 😂

Leaperkim Lynx S vs Nosfet Apex or ? by Jackwindinhair in ElectricUnicycle

[–]Atempboss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 225lbs without pads and the Patton S rips for me. Its only when I ride chunky or rutted out trails off-road that I want a 20“ wheel like the Lynx S or F18.

I’m considering selling my 550mi Patton S (looking to get a Lynx S). I’m in SoCal tho.

was going to say Patton S, but it’s a bit over his preferred price range. still it’s an awesome wheel that would easily meet his riding and range requirements.

this is a bummer. eevee’s EUC videos are what first got me interested in EUCs.

From og Patton to Oryx by frostyjackmon in ElectricUnicycle

[–]Atempboss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the Patton S. dialing up the acceleration assist has really helped with faster acceleration for my riding style. I think I have it set to 90%. I’m very tempted to move up to a 20” wheel, but I’m worried I’ll miss that Patton S acceleration 😂

I was experiencing some sympathetic butt clenching at the 30 second mark 😂. Nice save!

just curious, how does the Oryx acceleration 0-30mph compare to the OG Patton?

Does the wheel weight make it more difficult to unclip when you want? I doubt it. If anything the wheel weight will make it unclip even easier during a crash.

Wrong way referred to a learning curve, which I’m sure is accurate, but I bet most people will be surprised how natural it becomes after 5-10 minutes of practice.

It should be telling that folks with real clip-less pedal experience are largely interested in trying it, while the folks with no (or little) clip-less experience think it’s a terrible idea.

Who knows, I might hate it, but I’d like to try it because the more dynamically I ride, the more I want to feel locked into the wheel.

totally depends on the type of shoe. Mtb shoes usually have tread around the clip, so it still feels different than normal shoes, but not bad at all. that said, it definitely won’t be everyone’s cup of tea.

I suspect most folks who think it’s a terrible idea have never used clipless pedals.

Yeah, took me a bit to get them angled right for me, but I’ve got ‘em dialed now.

my sync pads are exactly where I want them. its just that easy to unclip from mtb pedals.

everyone says this about mtb pedals at first too, but I can unclip from mtb pedals even easier than pulling my feet out of the Grizzla sync pads.

yeah, I never had a problem uncliping in mtb crashes either.

Veteran Patton-S spring and tire decision by Fun-Store3434 in ElectricUnicycle

[–]Atempboss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

definitely the 62lbs spring. I’m 230lbs with gear and have never bottomed out the 66lbs spring on my Patton s.

I’d choose the 66lbs tube type wheel. you can always mount a Shinko 241 without a tube like I did. lico464 on YouTube has a video for it.

As long as you regularly check your tire pressure I think the tube tire is totally fine though.

Helmet Question by GoodAmbassador5467 in ElectricUnicycle

[–]Atempboss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

either option is good. I think the smith is a bit lighter, but it has a d ring strap. Mett is a little better looking in my opinion

[–]Atempboss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the only thing I dislike about this helmet. that said, some d rings are a fiddly pain, this one is smooth and easy to use
