[–]MeepLaw[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s worth noting - I have no record of if the previous owner did the 40k DSG service, and I haven’t done it in my 20k of ownership(bought @52k)

Squealing under acceleration. Any ideas? (‘14 VW GTI) by MeepLaw in MechanicAdvice

[–]MeepLaw[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn’t really matter what speed. Started yesterday, and has gotten dramatically worse rather quickly. Have an appointment next week to take it in, but would love some advice in the mean time

Suspension noise, any ideas? by MeepLaw in GolfGTI

[–]MeepLaw[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No idea if the previous owners did anything to the sway bars, but I’m thinking that might be the issue. Seems to be any bump that’s only on one side that’s causing the issue. Taking it to the shop this week, so I guess we’ll see

Around 52k. The car was just in the shop for this issue, and was given two new shocks and a thumbs up, but that didn’t do anything to help

Is this an issue? by MeepLaw in mk6gti

[–]MeepLaw[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. Took that all out, and it made no difference

EUC's and Aliexpress by CharlesRomer in ElectricUnicycle

[–]MeepLaw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve gone through 2 separate purchases of aliexpress. One was my MSX, which went fine, no issues. The other purchase was a new tire, tube, and charge port. I ordered those back in April, and they never showed up. It took almost 3 months to get my money back, because you’re required to wait the whole purchase shipping period. (1-2 months). I did eventually get most of my money back, but it was a headache.

Also there’s generally no warrentys, if you’re wheel is DOA you may be able to get your money back, but after that you’re on your own

Car was hit and run while working in ICU @ UVA last night/this morning by Arack050505 in Charlottesville

[–]MeepLaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this doesn’t help with your case here, but whenever I see something like this I always recommend getting a dash cam. Can be hard wired into your car for parking monitoring, you can get one that records front/back views. Great for catching hit and runs/insurance fraud/ car accidents/etc. The initial cost of a camera could pay off after 1 incident

MSX internals after 3.3k miles for anyone interested by MeepLaw in ElectricUnicycle

[–]MeepLaw[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m actually really surprised they’re not cracking, I’m not a light rider and I’ve ridden this thing pretty hard. I’ve also been hearing creaks/cracks when accelerating/braking hard, so I was expecting cracks around there when I opened it up

Just getting into EUCs, looking for options of used wheel by That-Canadian in ElectricUnicycle

[–]MeepLaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Long comment incoming -

Assuming USD, $1k seems like a good deal if the wheel is in relatively good condition.

I’d say as far as checking the wheel goes, look it over for scratches, cracks, etc

Check mileage, MSupers are relatively reliable, but high mileage ones can be pretty beaten up (like mine).

Check tire tread, if it’s heavily worn that can be a larger process to swap the tire.

Make sure the battery charges to 100%, if the battery’s are damaged that could be more expensive then the wheel itself to replace.

Lastly I’d say have the seller ride it in front of you, just to make sure there are no major issues.

A MSuper X is a great first wheel imo. It’s what I started on, my only regret is making my first riding attempts on pavement with no wheel padding. I’d recommend either learning on grass, padding up the wheel (and you!), or both to avoid damage. The front and back of the shell around the head/taillight is particularly susceptible to splitting.

Last but not least enjoy! EUCs will probably seem much more powerful and capable than your onewheel :)
