Footpad Order Page Down?

@Boogieman awesome man, thanks! Just noticed the pics.

You ever find a stronger adhesive?

No issues so far otherwise?

[J-Glide]

@Boogieman Thank you for sharing your picks and info! I'm doing this as soon as I get home.

[J-Glide]

@lynnpreston I would think that the tape would rip, or bulge in places. Tell me what you think about this; I was kind of thinking of adding something like a thin piece of plastic around the edge of the grip tape. Perhaps a frame like that would hold it in place. I guess we won't know what works until we try it.

[Boogieman]

@veryous Using 3M77 right now, think I will try 3M90 which is supposed to have a higher heat rating and better bond strength.
Board still running great no sensor issues whatsoever.

[J-Glide]

@Boogieman Please share what your findings are.

[Boogieman]

@jeremyschow
Notes: The entire grip pad is glued to a thin plastic sheet, the area on the sheet that covers the sensor MUST remain glue free. Cover/protect it when respraying/regluing.
The areas to the Front and Rear of the sensor have thin plastic sheet sections that are glued directly to the wooden pad. Your grip pad/full plastic sheet assembly will be glued to these to complete the job.
The end result is the upper and lower third of your front pad gets glued, the center third(sensor area) is glue free and free floating.

[lynnpreston]

@jeremyschow - thanks for the info! Very good to know. I just ordered a pack of Vicious grip tape to try.

@lynnpreston Let me know how it works.

[J-Glide]

@Boogieman Thank you!!!

I ordered a new set of footpads from the website and it was totally worth it. They send you two new amazing looking pads that right after installing makes your boards look brand new.

It comes with instructions, new screws with thread locking (once you take your originals out the locking is ruined) and tool needed to install. Totally recommend.

So far my front footpad has slipped only about 0,5 cm

Can I keep riding until it gets worse? Im worried about damaging the sensor underneath.

[J-Glide]

@pteasima I wouldn't worry about it damaging the sensor. If it gets a little glue on it, you can use a product called goo gone to get it off

[Franky]

@pteasima, mine looks exactly the same but still works fine.

[veryous]

@pteasima same as others, mine looks exactly the same but works fine.

[DVO]

Does anyone have any creative and preventative ways to maybe stop this slippage? Any idea's would help :)

[Franky]

Somebody mentioned putting a screw into the footpad to stop sliipage.
Not sure how that went.

But given the diagrams of how the pads and board work, a screw should not cause issues as long as it's not over the sensor or so long that it goes through the wood.

Mine is slipping but no problems yet. New pads are not too expensive which is what I'll buy if I have any issues.

[lynnpreston]

@pteasima - Are those threads starting to show on the edges of your tire?

[SkateFirst.SamT]

you might be able to put washers under the screw that are already in place to clamp the grip tape in place

[DocBlock]

Can you please post a pic of the new foot pads?

[J-Glide]

@lynnpreston I tried the screws through the grip tape. It worked like magic! I used some very short pan head screws. Three across the front, and three across the back. Even after several hot days my grip tape hasn't moved. This was a brilliant idea!!!

[DVO]

@J-Glide If you have time, can you post a pic? And the size of the pan head screws please.

[J-Glide]

@DVO Will do

[lynnpreston]

@J-Glide That's awesome! Glad it's working well. So far my Vicious grip tape hasn't slipped, but then again I haven't left the board in the sun for long periods yet either (a waveless summer, ugh). If it does start slipping, I'm definitely giving this a try.

[J-Glide]

@lynnpreston Did you apply more adhesive to the nylon strips under the tape where it meets the wood?

[lynnpreston]

@J-Glide No, I just trimmed the grip tape backing for the sensor, and applied it. I have a can of 3M spray adhesive (unsure of specific variant), but I wanted to try without it first. I have seen the spray reduce the adhesion of factory-applied adhesives before.

[J-Glide]

@lynnpreston Good to know.

[J-Glide]

@DVO here is a pic of what I was able to do with the screws.

[J-Glide]

[SkateFirst.SamT]

nice! im sure it helps prevent your feet from slipping off the board offroading as well

[sifo]

Any idea what does the footpad replace? Is it the whole wooden piece?

[lynnpreston]

@sifo Yes, in my case they replaced both wooden pieces as part of the footpad swap.

nice.. thanks for sharing. :)

[DVO]

@J-Glide thank you very much brother! What size screws? So I don't go too deep

[J-Glide]

@DVO I want to say they are quarter inch size screws, but I also removed the footpad to make sure that if they did go through they didn't hit anything. The ones you need to worry about the most are the ones closest to the lights.

[DVO]

@J-Glide Thanks bro!

@J-Glide I want to let you know that I have experienced the same issue as you, when the board continues to run after I jump off. This seems like a seriously dangerous design flaw. I have written onewheel, but wanted to post here as well for others to find this. I will post whatever resolution I get back from them.

I’ve had my onewheel out a few times now. I’ve never had a problem with it when getting off of it… I normally get of smoothly by rotating my toe, but even if I jump off it with both feet, that works fine.

Today, however, I was letting a bunch of friends at work try it (they all loved it, ob-v), they where all pretty much jumping off, and everything was fine at first. After about 45min of this, when people would jump off (from an absolute complete standstill), the board would start running off on its own, accelerating! It smashed under two cars this way, two separate times. Then I tried jumping of as a test, being careful to really jump with both feet at once, and it did the same thing (though that time it only rolled a bit and then stopped).

This has never happened before, and I’m scared to ride it in San Francisco now because if I have to jump off I don’t want it zooming out into the middle of the street under a car!

When I get off smoothly, but rotating my toe, everything works as usual.

[kbern]

@kbern Oh, and obviously my tape is not slipping at all, as the board has only ever seen two short days of use.

[veryous]

What firmware version are you on @kbern?

[kbern]

Sorry, forgot to mention... software 3034, just installed this morning. I wonder if there's a bug in that? Though, keep in mind that this runaway board issue was not happening at the beginning of our outdoor session, it only started happening after a while.

[J-Glide]

@kbern It sounds like a foot sensor issue to me. I'm sure FM would fix it for free if you send it in.

[kbern]

@J-Glide In case anyone else ever has this issue, I wanted to mention that this thread about my issue primarily took place in the "General Discussion" section titled, "After a failed dismount, my onewheel took off!!", here (they may remove the link):
http://community.rideonewheel.com/topic/115/after-a-failed-dismount-my-onewheel-took-off/25

Sorry to have cross-posted, but that was a more relevant thread.
Thanks for all your help!

So I took the plunge and decided to regrip the front footpad.
Board still works fine.
The grip tape is over a thin plastic sheet that isolates it from the sensor, the only remaining issue is finding an adhesive thats strong enough to resist the torque slippage that still occurs. The grip tape stick fine to the plastic sheet, it's the plastic sheet glued to another underlying plastic sheet that creates the slippage weak spot.
Trying to attach a pic...

when you re gripped, why didn't you make the grip bigger and cover the whole panel and then use the 4 corner holes to help hold the tape in place?

This post is deleted!

[veryous]

@eish would that work with the level change of the deck?

are they different levels - I am still boardless, I only ordered the other day :(

[Boogieman]

@eish - I could have went for full coverage, but I like the look of wood showing around the edges. I've regripped again and eliminated the plastic sheet insert. I'm using a folded sheet of card stock over the sensor. Grip tape now has more wood to grab onto and has not moved at all even in 90+ degree northeast riding weather.

[veryous]

@eish oh yeah man, there's like a ~1-2mm inset where the grip tape lays so it's flush with the wood.

[eish]

@Boogieman so the plastic is not needed?
