Onewheel GT S-Series x TFL 5" MTE Hub + 555 Enduro Tire // Install & First Ride!! 🤯 

Hah, it helps to have friends who are handier than I!

Eh they'll be alright lol

Yeah that was full cringe. You can press bearings in with an extended c clamp, a car jack.. or even a bearing press !! Never ever hammer a bearing in.

Thanks for watching!

I'm more of a show rather than tell kind of guy, but if the people want more talk talk I can maybe try to accomodate 😂 I try to give the best, no bs summary I can in the description of my videos if you are ever wondering. It is absolutely better and worth it.. though maybe less so if you don't like to get your board dirty lol. On the street, I pump it up from 8 psi to about 12 and it turns into the most magical floating machine. Still feels plenty stable while absorbing all the bumps and dips in the road, feels like a true "floating" experience. It also helps cushion curb drops and such.

Yep, I cut the fender delete with a dremel at the point where the FF fender starts and tried to make it as seamless as possible, but it's not perfect 😂

Hah, it was using a concrete slab with a hole in the middle underneath some carpet to get better leverage.

N52 magnets on the MTE. I felt the slightest of torque bumps, but it could also just be placebo. Would make sense if stock GTS is N50 to feel an ever so slight increase.

Nice. I’m riding n52 on Enduro 655. Loving it.

A lot of people have no desire to figure out the VESC settings that come with a float wheel, use crypto, and wait the 60 days that FW estimates to ship your board to you. Currently FW doesn’t offer a 5” hub so you would have to do a hub swap on a ADV anyways if you wanted a 5” tire. Which isn’t an option because their stator is a whole different size.

Well, the hype I was referring to was for the 5" MTE specifically here, which isn't included on a Floatwheel either. Yes, this is a far more expensive build than you can get with a VESC, but for the price I'm getting a simple, out of the box and ready to go software experience that's easy for a simpleton like me to understand. I'm not worried about hitting any speed beyond 25 mph as I typically only average up to 20 on trails anyway. The "Climbs better" scenario has been fixed with the latest firmware which includes Gradient Tracking. The range is plenty for the type of trail riding I do, and I prefer how much lighter the board is as a result compared the the GT and especially the Floatwheel. Lastly, I don't have to worry about the Floatwheel dumping me unexpectedly at speed if a cell happens to be imbalanced. That one is a big one for me. I'm all for supporting riders to ride what they want, VESC or FM, I really don't care. What is strange though is how much VESC people try to push their preferences on others, while GTS owners like me are too busy out riding and enjoying their board. You do you, my friend! 😊

@@AlexLepoutre mic dropped, I agree with your last sentiment. If something is really that much better, you don’t need to shout at everybody to convince them it’s better, It would be apparent. Ride whatever you want and quit being so hostile (not directed at you), people should be able to ride whatever they want and not get flack from other riders.
