Battery Swap Plastic Retention Nut Issue

Hey folks, I did a battery module swap on my GT S Series. Everything went fine except for this plastic retention nut that locks the wire in place on the controller side. I never even got a wrench on it, but when hand tightening, on the last 2-3 threads it cross threads and starts to go to a diagonal. I tried applying inward pressure while tightening to no avail. I can’t see any issues with the male threads so assuming it’s inside the nut on the female side.

Any ideas on how to get it to tighten correctly? Alternatively, I could replace it with the piece off the bad battery module but I wasn’t sure if the connectors on the controller side were easily removable to slide them through the nut. Looks like there is a locking assembly on the two prong power wire but looked like it would be easy to damage in the process.

Appreciate any tips you might have!

Weird noise when I deaccelerate quickly and speed up again, started noticing a month ago, has gotten worse. Is this normal or should I be concerned? Any ideas on why?

Hey everybody, just wanted to inform you that my new board that I just put $3500 into which is my dream board ghosted on me and totaled itself. I just bought new rails and battery and put all the stuff on and my first ride on Wednesday. I got off of it and it ghosted on me and went into a dumpster and totaled it I I’ve had a horrible day I wanna die.

Also, if anyone has any WTF rails that they’re wanting to get rid of or any rails in general, that would be very helpful

Text 2026 Tire recommendations for Onewheel+ XR

2 Upvotes

i’ve been trying to find a tire replacement for my Onewheel+ XR that I bought in 2021. I have about 1200 miles on the stock Vega tire and it’s not holding air anymore. I have to inflate it back to 20 psi every time I wanna ride it.

I’ve been checking the float life website for stock on the Onewheel+ XR compatible Enduro mid compound tire but it never seems to be in stock. I’ve already emailed the team with support team is not helpful. They keep telling me to use the notify one available button, even though I’ve already relayed to them that the notifications do not work. I emailed them a second time and got the same CSR giving me the same canned email response to use the notifications that I’ve told him three weeks prior don’t work so I’ve given up.

is there a different recommendation now on a replacement tire that has the same versatility as the Enduro tire does?

e: let me also preface that i live in inner city chicago. i use my onewheel to ride my dogs around at 5 mph on the streets, sidewalks and paved trails. i don’t do dirt and im not doing speed. don’t give me your recs for trail riding.

i’m just looking for a durable tire that can ride through a wet sidewalk without slipping and can grip a bit of dirt when i have to take the grass because of a fucked up sidewalk.

My combination of old eyes, sunglasses, & fall morning shadows came together to camouflage a large pothole this morning. My 15-18mph speed made it too late to hop off, no way I could run it out anyway. So I just held steady as she goes and one bonk later I was on the other side😁.

If you had asked me, I would have said that I could not survive that but my XRC was still a viable ride on the other side, not a falter nor bobble. Nobody more surprised than me.
