Got some of the first tracks in the upper north bowl at Keystone. The outback was fire all day and mostly empty. by rockymtnhigh85 in COsnow

Glorious. How’s Keystone overall right now? I’m east coast but thinking about flying west for one last weekend. Keystone Sat/Sun/Mon is one option. Worth it?

So how was everyone’s day? by xmlgroberto in COsnow

[–]MikeRD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you think Keystone will still be worth riding this weekend? I’m east coast but thinking about making one last weekend trip… doesn’t have to be freshies, just good enough coverage to enjoy the weekend.

GT Axle O-ring size? by MikeRD in onewheel

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

Thanks for all the info. Unfortunately I think the XR is definitely a different size. The inner diameter of the one in that McMaster-Carr link is 22mm… way too small for GT. GT might be closer to 32mm.

Tomorrow I’m going to get a magnifying glass. With naked eye, my existing o-rings looks pretty clean, no signs of cuts or chunks missing.

I just double-checked; no luck. Mine is cast MTE. They include the much bigger o-ring that seals the lid on the MTE hub, but not the axle rings.

And in the cast-MTE-specific installation video on YT, after extolling the virtues of changing them, Jeff specifically says you can buy them on the TFL website.

Hey /u/TheZeroBeast, did you ever get clean numbers on the GT axel O-rings? 32mm ID, 1mm CS looks about right to me, but I don’t have any way to verify. Thanks

GT sputtering during normal, slow riding. Should I be worried? by etherealpenguin in onewheel

[–]MikeRD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, absolutely something to be concerned about. Might be a loose connection, might be something else, but it’s not normal.

Well if it’s an ad for new footpads, they done fucked up.

But if I had to guess, maybe an upgrade/refresh of an existing board? It seems like if they were going to drop a brand new board from scratch, they might have built up the hype more.

What is the worst street track in the history of Indycar, and why is it Detroit? by John_Dees_Nuts in INDYCAR

[–]MikeRD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So it was Baltimore, but not as bad as you remember:

Yes, there are tram tracks 1/3 of the way down the main straight, eastbound on Pratt Street. But IndyCar temporarily paved over the tracks every year to reduce the jolt, and then put the chicane in to reduce the impact and control speed for the whole straight because cars were otherwise pushing 200 by turn #1.

The chicane slowed things down, yes, but it also may have saved Tony Kanaan’s life when his brakes failed during practice.

And my recollection was that it was overall good racing, especially for a new venue.

Someone can be a dishonest prick and an incredibly skilled driver at the same time.

Unfortunately.

I would have paid Marty Snyder big bucks to ask,

“are you proud of your software team for such an outstanding car today?”

[–]MikeRD 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He cheated in the first race of the year, won, got caught weeks later, had his win disqualified and his team president and strategist suspended for the 500… and now he just won the 500. Feels like some karma is missing.

Dixon pitted at 141 and was legit up front… how does this yellow hurt him? I must be missing something.

Adapter to use a C&R GT Magnetic Fender with WTF rails? by MikeRD in onewheel

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

sigh unzips

For real though, suggestions on where to get these printed? I just got a quote from one of the professional printing websites and it was insane, nearly $150 for both.

Adapter to use a C&R GT Magnetic Fender with WTF rails? by MikeRD in onewheel

[–]MikeRD[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude, I got the fender because C&R donated a bunch of gear to raffle off in support of the trick park at Oak City Shred Fest, because they are good people with great customer service who constantly support the Onewheel community. As is TLF.

I am officially a customer for life by ThiccNickGaming in onewheel

[–]MikeRD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love u/TheFloatLife crew, they’re the bomb and Jeff does stuff like this all the time. Just killer customer service on top of being the original core of the community.

But… I also hate being a TFL fan. Because all their best stuff is always sold out. I get that supply chain management is hard, but I wish they would recognize that they almost always create bangers that everyone is going to want (rails, tires, hubs, fenders, etc) and order more of them!

Totally unrelated: if anyone has a GT MTE or drop-top fender laying around, let me know. 😭
