I know this question isn't the topic of the video but I'm curious to know, does the wind in Chicago (the Windy city) affect your city riding compared to when you were in DC or is it a non-factor. It seems like everytime I ride and feel a gust of wind it jolts my body and makes me go into a small wobble. But I don't know if I'm just being a baby about it or what (I'm on a master btw). Also do you use a rear view mirror at all? Thanks
First off thank you so much!! You’re the man ❤ About the wind it’s interesting because Chicago is built on a grid system so when it gets windy out some of the streets act as wind tunnels and you ride by and it definitely throws you off to one side! But just like everything it is a muscle you can train so you’re not uncomfortable when it occurs. If you know it will be very windy, may try going for a ride to improve your reactions to the wind. And no I never really used a rear mirror, I’ve gotten used to looking over my shoulder and double checking when turning or switching lanes 👍🏽
Hi, Nice video! Is it the Shinko size 14 x 2.75 you got on? And for the tube, do you have a link for a better tube than the stock one ? is it 14 x 2.75 as well? Thanks a bunch!
@@z4yr0 amazing thank you so much for the support ❤️ I’m using the Shinko 241 size 14 X 2.75 - and the tubes I use are from AliExpress, I order 5 at a time they are CST inner Tubes size 18 x 3. I’ll see if I can find a link for you
@ I understand it is confusing let me see if I can help: 14 x 2.75 represents the rim diameter. The 14 inch rim = 20 inch EUC as we call it (xway, lynx, Sherman, etc) but in terms of tubes they go with outer diameter, so you use an 18inch tube inside a 20 inch EUC like the xway or lynx. So buy a 14 x 2.75 tire and an 18 x 3 tube and you are good to go
I’m really curious about how the torque and top speed of the 134 compare to this one. I feel like it will have a very low top speed. Since I’m not an electrical engineer it’s just a guess. It’s much lighter and that’s why I would consider it.
Great views of Chicago and great x-way content. I’m glad you spent time talking about the PKz. I have powerknobz v2 voidcore but keep going back to the Grizzla. I’m a new rider and get wobbles bad on the PKz and think it’s because I rely on the top pads too much for stability. What are your thoughts the Cohedron pads might be a good mix between the two? Maybe enough to help with wobbles or just more time in the wheel to help that? I ride mostly street and have a V4 master as my first wheel.
@@Delko-615 they are a great middle ground and offer more support than the voidcores, but I would not give up on them. If I can recommend a change I would make sure your heel is locked tight with the pads. This will make it easier to lean and make you feel more secured which will help with wobbles. Wobbles just means the wheel is not in your control and you regain the control by having tighter pads and being more connected with the wheel
I tried the xway side by side with a blitz on my first day owning it, but it wasn’t a fair comparison since I was not comfortable with the Kenda tire that came stock on the xway. I’ll make a video talking about the differences and my thoughts on the two
Well I just got a sherman and I'm waiting on my power knob fusions to arrive. I'll chime in sometime with my thoughts after I have some miles with them
Lem from the Ungerground said there's a kit Begode is providing that has bushings for the linkage, reinforced bumpers, and a reinforced mud flap. Do you know if your unit has those pre installed?
I’m more interested in off-road and jumping, so light is king. That’s why I would want the 134 V. Still has plenty of torque for hill climbing. I don’t care about top speed.
Nice, you're making me want one 😂, seems like torquey wheels tend to damage tubed tires though, is that your experience? I mean the tire slips and the tube valve breaks.
@@tomnel I personally haven’t seen that from high torque wheels, it can happen on any wheel but the key to preventing that is riding with proper PSI. I’m running 38-40 PSI on the 241
Hi can you help me i order x way and i wanna order powerknobz But i am noob in this There is a options can you help me chose Wright. NO Extenders - slim WITH Extenders - slim NO Extenders - WIDE Boot gap WITH Extenders - WIDE Boot gap NO Extenders - WIDE Shoe gap WITH Extenders - WIDE Shoe gap
@@michaelamondzyaku2890 yes I meant to talk about this, I always go 1 piece, and I ride in motorcycle boots so I picked the Wide Boot gap. If you use boots I would go wide, and if you wear shoes I would order shoes gap
Great video, that thing looks like the perfect off-road wheel ...almost considering it myself
Hell yah. Making a cup of coffee, and kicking back on this nice 5° day to watch this one! Haha
@@TheTrevorski it’s sooo cold today 5 degrees but feels like -12F 🥲
Wheel looks great

@@PEVPOVthanks for the advice. I do probably need to be a little more locked in. Was afraid to be so locked in I couldn’t step out if needed.
Finally a great review of this wheel , good job ! Have you tried the Blitz to compare ?

It’s not preinstalled but Ewheels will be providing the kit on their next shipment free to batch 1 owners
Is batch 2 affected? I have one in transit right now.
@ they have not began producing the kits yet so I would think yours would still need the upgrades later on
I'll get this one, one day!;)
@@seadogdiogo_mylifeinmotion it’s a great wheel! Like all begode wheels the price will drop in a few months 👍🏽
@ that’s great to know! When will I know when the second batch is out?

Hows the tire now that you changed it?
@@mewk I love it, amazing grip, consistent turning, stable. It’s great

Choose one with no explanation....Sherman L or X-way.... go!
