OWheelBuddy goes online - let's start the competition

11 October 2016, 07:01 UTC

@SeeTheInvisible I've been using the OWB app since it launched and I love it. However, when I updated my iPhone OS with the most recent updates, it completely reset my lifetime odometer in the app and has reset my top speed several times. Not sure what would have caused it, but was wondering if you may have any ideas. Thanks and love the app!

11 October 2016, 19:31 UTC

@1woman1wheel I personally still don't believe anything over 22MPH is a true reading. I seriously don't think it is possible. I have been trying every way I could possibly think of imaginable and can not break 21-22mph. I have eaten shit multiple times going downhill or on flat ground trying to break 22MPH and I don't think it can be done. I want to see someone go 27MPH on video with a radar tracking their speed.

11 October 2016, 19:37 UTC

If it was a true reading there would be a lot more people closer to those speeds. When you look at the board where people are hitting the 18mph mark you can see people are within .1--.2 mph of one another. If you could really hit 27 you would see more people up in that end of the spectrum.

11 October 2016, 19:57 UTC

I can't seem to get beyond 16.5mph. Whenever I feel like I might have beat it, I look at my phone only to see I have a Wheel Slip warning. I'm riding on concrete, and there was no wheel slip.

11 October 2016, 20:49 UTC

@1woman1wheel don't worry, stay relaxed and enjoy riding :) I have hit my top speed while riding a track which was slightly downhill ...
I still have to investigate if speeds like 25 mph are achievable, but what I can tell you up to now is that 21 mph can be done (and yes, the rider must be a light weight person with excellent balancing skills and don't has to worry about painful nosedives)

@CaseInvaders ok, please tell me which version of OWB you use (you'll find it in the iOS settings app).
Btw: the lifetime odometer can't be reset withing the app, it is stored in your OW (of course it will be reset if uninstall OWB and install it again - but even then it updates when your connect to your OW again). pls send me further details to office@onewheelbuddy.com in order to not lead the thread off topic.

@ahxe45 yes, pwnisher's incredible speed also seems unrealistic to me

@thegreck pls tell me which version you're using - I've never ever heared about wheel slip warnings on concrete up to now :/ (pls, also provide your iPhone model ...).
The only thing which could explain this behaviour to me, is that you're riding in an environment where you have lot of bluetooth devices close to you which really could cause connection issues (this may also trigger the wheel slip detection - while I'm writing this, I've also changed the tolerance for such issues, I hope the next update will solve it ...).

11 October 2016, 21:11 UTC

@SeeTheInvisible Well, I'm on the top ten mileage board, so I think I have the newest version of the app. I don't see any updates available. I don't think there's any Bluetooth interference, as I'm riding with a street and cemetery on one side and train tracks on the other, and it only seems to happen when I feel I should've bypassed my top speed. But instead I get a wheel slip alert.

I do tend to speed up and slow down in short bursts, which is just a riding style, so maybe the app is seeing my quick speed up as wheel slip?

11 October 2016, 23:20 UTC

So today I was killing time at work and happened to check the OWB Leaderboards. J-Glide had 7766MI on a board! But now updating the leaderboards and the reading is gone.. which seems really weird. I actually got a screenshot of it...

@J-Glide do you really have a board with 7766MI? If so, a) that is freaking awesome and b) I have a few questions for you about the maintenance and performance of the board over it's lifetime that probably belong in a different thread....

@SeeTheInvisible Is there any reason that a board's milage would show up on the leaderboard and then disappear like that?

12 October 2016, 04:39 UTC

Regarding the unrealistic high speeds, how is wheel spin detected? What if I <deleted>, could someone trigger abnormally high speed readings without activating wheel spin?

12 October 2016, 06:18 UTC

@thegreck ok, the bursts can be the issue, I'll test exhaustively with a really light weight rider, because he should be able to trigger wheel slip detection easily if this is the issue.

@slydogstroh J-Glide seems to cheat as far as I can tell up to now. In fact his last reading shows 28 miles which seems much more realistic ;)

@No Honestly there are of course several ways to cheat and I don't want to inspire anyone how to cheat (Trust me, they're watching us here :)). If someone finds a way, I'll also find a way to detect his cheating.

I'd suggest that the leaderboards anyway beeing reset on regular base - otherwise it'll get boring :)

PS: I'm also working on a cheat detection algorithm

12 October 2016, 10:51 UTC

If the record high-speeds are achieved in downhill sections, then a heavier person has the advantage since they present a relatively smaller frontal area for their mass.

12 October 2016, 11:33 UTC

@Roy Theoretically you're right, but in fact I think that for a light weight person it's easier to maintain balance on the board which is the trickiest thing when going past pushback ....

Ugh but ghosts can be even worse than BlueTooth. So interfering.

13 October 2016, 03:33 UTC

@SeeTheInvisible - So, are you saying that a lighter person is more affected by the OW self balancing feature? I could buy-in to that. My diet starts tomorrow.

13 October 2016, 03:35 UTC

@1woman1wheel, maybe better ghosts than goats when OneWheeing...

13 October 2016, 14:08 UTC

Stupid app told me to stop cheatin. So, dont start app while riding. It gets grumpy

13 October 2016, 15:26 UTC

@BadWolf Oh really? I almost always start the app while riding!

14 October 2016, 06:20 UTC

@BadWolf Oh man, there's just one special situation in which this can happen - and you triggered it almost instantly, lol ...

@thegreck There's really a tiny bug in the new version which may happen when connecting while riding, but it should occur really seldom (next release is in the queue already ...)

14 October 2016, 08:38 UTC

am i the only one that ever reads the update description on the app store? :D

Well. to be fair.. Its kind of my "job" to.. right? :D

14 October 2016, 14:05 UTC

Just unboxed for the first time. Took it out for a testride and got on the 5th place in top speed.

Its just awsome how intuitive it rides.

14 October 2016, 17:52 UTC

@SeeTheInvisible Any news on an Android version? I want to join in the fun.

14 October 2016, 18:38 UTC

Yes! Got 5th on the leader board with my new top speed!

(which is 18.1, but apparently @Future-Motion still hasn't fixed the upload photo bug on these forums, so no matter what I do I can't seem to get my image to upload)

15 October 2016, 22:48 UTC

@SeeTheInvisible I do not cheat, but I have more than one board. I wouldn't have the first clue on how to cheat this app or any other app.

15 October 2016, 22:49 UTC

@slydogstroh I have connected up to 8 boards since this app came out. Not one of them has more than 1500 miles. I don't know where the 7700 miles came from.

16 October 2016, 14:01 UTC

@badcheese Beta test phase will start maybe tomorrow, you want to join as a tester?

@J-Glide yes, I've already realized that some OW's deliver strange odo readings and I implemeted a workaround which should prevent this issue.

@BadWolf yeah, a job without any salary, lol (I'll get back to your email soon ...)

16 October 2016, 20:31 UTC

@thegreck: try renaming the file´s extension before you upload it (test.jpg instead of test.JPG). The forum seems to have a bug with upper/lowercase extensions...at least for me that solved the issue...

16 October 2016, 22:11 UTC

@cr4p That was one of the things I tried, along with downsizing it.

Haha, tears ... I just saw a picture of you crying as hell while your girl hugs you after a hard crash, lol (Can you too remember those moments when you were young and you wanted to learn riding a bike without training wheels ...)

19 October 2016, 20:01 UTC

I received a "Cheating detected Please don't cheat.... (Code: C)"

I think it happened when I was riding down a short, steep little ramp (from the curb to the street).

19 October 2016, 21:54 UTC

Id like to get in on this android app as well if your still looking let me know. Thanks

9 November 2016, 18:27 UTC

@SeeTheInvisible If I connect to my OW, then put my phone in standby mode (turn off the display) and continue riding, when I stop and look at my phone again the trip top speed doesn't update. For example, today when I stopped and looked at my phone the current speed was showing 18mph (even though I was stopped), and the trip top speed was showing 13mph (even though 18>13). After a few seconds, the current speed updated to show 0mph, but the trip top speed still showed 13mph.

Update: Wanted to add that this is Android 5.1.1 on LG Volt 2.

9 November 2016, 19:20 UTC

@jeffmccosker Until the cheating stops, it's gonna be tough to compete with those 27mph speeds!

10 November 2016, 02:16 UTC

@thegreck for real man. Not sure how or why they would even do that.

11 November 2016, 00:22 UTC

I have got 27.91 mph. and I know it can go even faster. Once you get moving on the board, and you keep pushing it's almost as if the board catches another gear. But going that fast on one wheel, is rather ridiculous and so yes I do wish I could go faster. Say Ludicrous?

11 November 2016, 00:28 UTC

@RussellLite Really? how much do you weigh? I feel like what you're describing has a certain weight limit where you can't hit that "sweet spot". I'm about 215lbs, and I get complete motor cut-off at about 19mph

11 November 2016, 13:44 UTC

@RussellLite I call Bullshit unless you have pictures or video to prove it. Trust me I would love to be proven wrong as I can't get past the 21-22 MPH mark as many other people have said as well. I don't even think the board has a motor that is physically capable of going that fast unless you literally have no weight pushing down on it.

11 November 2016, 20:39 UTC

@No I'm 175lbs and I haven't experienced any motor cutoff, but I feel like the Onewheel becomes extremely difficult to control once you get past 18mph. Trying to imagine pushing even past 20mph is like imagining certain death! Am I right, @MichaelW ?

11 November 2016, 21:11 UTC

@badcheese OK, we're investiganting :) As you are a beta tester for the Android version, please send me feedback directly per email to not lead the thread too much OT ;)

@all Believe me, with the next cheating will get much much harder :)

11 November 2016, 21:37 UTC

@ahxe45 27.91 mph is a weird number to make up. Unless the OWheelBuddy apps speedometer is off, which it could be. I am second on the leader board TheSRexp. I'll test it today to see if another speedometer gives me a different speed and I'll get back to you. I weigh 165 lbs. and I keep my tire around 20.5 @No .

12 November 2016, 02:31 UTC

@RussellLite Why is that weird? And secondly, when you cheat, you don't make up your speed (how would that even be possible?), you just prop one end of the OW on something, hold it level and put pressure on the sensor, then slowly lift the other end and the wheel will spin. Boom, you've got top speed.

12 November 2016, 03:47 UTC

Love the app! Have an iWatch, and don't miss the lack of dedicated app since notifications pops up right on my watch (I don't care to monitor speed in real-time). Sure, realtime battery status could sorta be useful.

Really like the alert for one sensor.... I'm new, and the feedback it gives really helps me learn the limits of foot movement.

But hey, feature request....

Configurable notifications.... is like to be able to get an alert re battery status every x percent.... probably every ten percent is fine.... different people will be irritated by different frequencies of alerts, so configurable makes sense.

Same thread.... alert for new max speed attained. Obviously, don't want alert spam for every increment over the old top speed. So maybe once a minute or 5, check if current top speed is greater than old top speed and send alert if so....

Seriously, well crafted, configurable alerts obviate the need for a dedicated watch app.... my 2 cents....

12 November 2016, 04:03 UTC

@ahxe45 and @thegreck: I've gotten a top speed of 24.4 mph in this app, and I suspect I've gone a little faster when it was shut off. I haven't hit the limit of the motor (I've never had a high-speed crash), so I don't know how close I am to the absolute top speed. I don't feel like it's hard to control at 24+, but it definitely makes me nervous. The faster I go, the more it feels like standing on a balance board.

12 November 2016, 04:29 UTC

@bobfandango Hmmm.... just got a new top speed notification... guess it is already there! First time I saw that!

12 November 2016, 07:38 UTC

@bobfandango : You only get it often the first time you use the app. there is a minimum speed configured in the app - only after you have reeached this minimum speed, the high speed alerts start to trigger. and since they are only triggered the first time you have topped an old speed, it is usually just at the first ride when it happens that you receive several high speed messages instantly after each other.

afterwards it only happens rarly that you get this notification, only if you really have texceeded your old top speed - which doesn´t happen so often, at least for me;-)

14 November 2016, 16:42 UTC

@SeeTheInvisible I just got my OW, and unfortunately do not have an iOS device. Would it be possible for me to apply as a beta tester for the Android version of OWheelBuddy? I have a Galaxy Note 5, Verizon.

17 November 2016, 21:50 UTC

Since there's no android version I think my top speed should be on the leader board.. 2144 mph.. Should be enough for 1st place..Lol..

1 December 2016, 18:30 UTC

I can confirm that speeds over 27 mph are possible without cheating. This is on smooth level pavement. Not on the leaderboard yet, as this is the Android version.

1 December 2016, 20:13 UTC

me too!

2 December 2016, 11:30 UTC

@badcheese I really don't understand how this is possible on the onewheel...

4 December 2016, 02:33 UTC

@Zen.Potatoes It still hurts when you fall. I just fell trying to get my 29mph again. i got it 29.1 but crashed hard.0_1480818791379_speed3.jpg

4 December 2016, 02:35 UTC

G GPS dont lie!

4 December 2016, 13:12 UTC

@kwatts Thank you - at some time I got addicted to further evolve OWB. The user base is great here, which also helped my a lot when it comes to new ideas for features. Now my only enemy is the fact that a day has just 24 hours :).

To the top speed topic: as you see on @CarvingUphillAVL 's screen shot there's of course a difference between GPS and actual wheel speed. To my experience, the wheel speed displays a between 1 and 3 mph more than GPS speed for most riders . It depends on your weight, tire pressure and tire wear. But it seems to be that I'm doing things different: for all of my rides, the GPS speed is higher than wheel speed -> my bassic data -> 95 kg / 209.4 lb - 1,86m / 6″1, tire pressure: 20 psi.

And: also GPS can be wrong, most of the times it happens when the device has a bad reception. But for @CarvingUphillAVL 's power and speed data on the leaderboard, everything looks quite plausible -> well done :)

4 December 2016, 13:33 UTC

Is there a way to sign up 2 boards on OWB? I have 2 boards and It always pulls up the dominate board stats. I'd like to have separate stats for each board.

4 December 2016, 15:22 UTC

@ashewheeler you should hit up @CarvingUphillAVL when you get back home and verify these speeds. We would all love to be proven wrong here!

4 December 2016, 16:32 UTC

@Zen.Potatoes said in OWheelBuddy goes online - let's start the competition:

@badcheese @CarvingUphillAVL again I want to believe this is possible... (and i'm sure 25mph(ish) is with this right psi/hill/wind/rider/weight) but also just want to be sure this is correct so that I'm not trying to kill myself reaching a speed that just ain't possible.... But sorry dude in the UK otherwise you hit that speed and the night would be on me...

I routinely exceed 25 mph on my daily commute on a level road. No hill, no wind. The difficulty is staying balanced and steady so the motor doesn't have to do very much to compensate. Wind would be bad for that reason. A significant downhill slope would also be bad because the motor doesn't just provide propulsion, it is also the brake.

I'm guessing that the ideal situation for a speed record is a slight downhill slope - just enough so the acceleration due to gravity reaches equilibrium with the combined friction of the tire contact, wheel bearings, and aerodynamic drag at the target speed (let's say 30 mph). In other words: What slope would theoretically result in a terminal velocity of 30 mph, given the aerodynamic drag coefficient of the rider, the friction coefficient of the tire (at say 20 psi) under the weight of the rider, and the friction coefficient of the wheel bearings (which is probably not significant enough to bother with)?

4 December 2016, 17:42 UTC

@jeffmccosker Ashewheeler and I ride fairly often together. He wont be back here in paradise for a little longer. I rode with local Onewheel dealer last night and 3 other wheelers here in town. Someone will top my speed soon and then you can attack that person.

4 December 2016, 18:45 UTC

Great to read that you all are trying to push the limits and achieve these results. The onewheel is great. Is this top speed just a short burst or have you find a way to carve and ride at 18-20 mph without push back. So just cruising for minutes at higher speeds?

4 December 2016, 19:24 UTC

@CarvingUphillAVL not trying to attack at all man, just curious to see if it's actually possible or if it is an issue with the speedometer. Like I said, I would love to see someone actually hit near 30mph!

4 December 2016, 20:08 UTC

@CarvingUphillAVL At the moment there's just one board supported per user. A workaround would be to create a second account for the second board which is in my opinion not practically. As everything is prepared to use multiple boards per user, I just have to finish the implementation of this feature, but please don't ask when it'll be done :)

4 December 2016, 23:53 UTC

@jeffmccosker Appreciate that! I understand the doubt. Someone will beat me soon. Although, I don't think by much as every time that I've attempted to beat 29. I crash or get close to crashing and speed tops out at 29.1. I have access to speed gun, but it will be some time before I get a chance. I will send undeniable evidence hopefully before new year.

4 December 2016, 23:55 UTC

@SeeTheInvisible thanks you rock!

5 December 2016, 00:11 UTC

@ltl cruising at 10-14 These are speed bursts down a perfectly graded hill with nice flat belly at bottom with minimal bumps and traffic. I have ridden more than 3000 miles on 2 different Onewheels(1 has new tire and deck(1800+miles), other needs new tire(1500 miles)in the last 12 months only just recently felt solid enough to try speed. I have plenty of road rash memories as good learnings. Not sure if my OWB speed of 29mph is legit, but I'll say Onewheel is best thing ever and we will continue to learn more about its limits and ours. Apologies for long wind response.

5 December 2016, 13:50 UTC

New absolute top speed today

Pretty sure that I can reach 27km/h (17mph) but since I've tasted the ground at this speed...yes I'm shitting myself...don't wanna taste again...

5 December 2016, 13:54 UTC

@badcheese said in OWheelBuddy goes online - let's start the competition:

@ahxe45
My hardware version: 2206
My firmware version: 3056
My weight: 167 pounds

If you've already gone over 23 mph, 25 or 27 aren't so far away. How do you know you've hit the limit? I would only know by outrunning the board and crashing. That hasn't happened yet, so I probably haven't hit the limit.

I Have outrun the board and crashed many times trying to get faster than that. That's what im saying I have not been able to push past that threshold. I couldn't get past the 22 MPH mark until the other day and I was only able to do the 23 MMPH in a short burst and almost ate it.

5 December 2016, 18:59 UTC

@ahxe45 : I've reached 27+ mph by creeping up on it very slowly, and balancing as if the OW were just a passive balance board, the way it feels if you try to balance on it when it's powered off. It feels as if a very tiny forward lean will result in a crash.

In fact, that's what happened during my commute this morning. Until today, I've only had a couple of low-speed (under 10 mph) crashes. Today I wiped out at 26.4 mph, probably because I was thinking so much about OW high speeds.

I still consider myself lucky, because the only casualties were a thin windbreaker and a patch of skin on my elbow, despite the fact that I foolishly ride without any pads, helmet, gloves, etc.

5 December 2016, 19:19 UTC

@badcheese Get a helmet and gloves at the very least man! Set the example for the kids haha. I was the same way at first, but realized I have a great life to live...

Funny story, the very day after I bought a helmet, I hit a bump I didn't see on the sidewalk going about 20 on the OW... ended up hitting my head HARD on the ground. Like, I know I would have spent a week at the hospital at the very least if I hadn't had a helmet on. I've since bought a new helmet and refuse to ride without one. SKATE SAFE!

6 December 2016, 00:30 UTC

@CarvingUphillAVL When I Hit my previous 29.62 mph on the record board before the reset I was challenged on here and so I went out and got on my waze app (navigation app) and turned on the speedometer which is accurate and I hit 27 mph. The speeds are doable but there has to be the right tire pressure and the right weight of the rider. I took a nasty spill at 25 mph and I haven't been able to get the speed back up but I also need new foot pads as well as a new tire (the tire is really holding me back).

![alt text](![image url](![0_1480984182994_IMG_1114.PNG](Uploading 100%) image url))

6 December 2016, 00:35 UTC

@CarvingUphillAVL have you had to change your tire? If so do you remember the mileage?

28 December 2016, 14:52 UTC

@SeeTheInvisible So I recently got my board back from FM after getting a tire change and checkup. At the same time, I got a new phone and so downloaded OWheelBuddy again through the cloud.

My issue is that it seems the Odometer was reset since I sent my board in. Is this on the software side or did FM somehow reset it when I sent it in? I miss being #1 for mileage! haha. Any help appreciated.. Thanks!

28 December 2016, 15:24 UTC

@slydogstroh So that puts my little 1800+ miles at number one until I send it back. Which is interesting because this OW with over 1800 miles had a tire change at 1400 and my odometer didnt get reset. I curious to hear what FM says.

28 December 2016, 15:25 UTC

@slydogstroh Actually, my 2nd OW returns next week with a fresh tire so I ll see if the mileage reset.

28 December 2016, 15:26 UTC

Just got mine back from FM with about 800 miles on it and they reset the odometer as well. Might have to do with them fully removing the battery which causes the reset, but IDK.

28 December 2016, 15:28 UTC

@jeffmccosker Makes sense! But how did my other OW keep its mileage after tire change?

28 December 2016, 16:24 UTC

@CarvingUphillAVL The exact package I got was the "Tuneup + Reload Pack"
I'm assuming that whatever they do with the Tuneup part is what resets the odometer.

28 December 2016, 23:24 UTC

@CarvingUphillAVL
Did they change the battery or just the tire? Honestly, I have no idea what resets it, but the common theme seems to be battery repair/replacement.

28 December 2016, 23:28 UTC

@jeffmccosker Just tire. I'll see soon as my other OW just got shippped back home from its new tire and tuneup.

28 December 2016, 23:50 UTC

these speeds approaching 30 are achievable only in short bursts.

tire pressure and rider weight have been mentioned. you can go faster downhill.

to reach your maximum wheelspeed you need to slowly accelerate so as not to get caught in waves of pushback and not to demand more instantaneous power than is there.

ambient temperature has a noticeable affect on power delivery.

slowly accelerate down a long hill on a warm day and push past pushback--start freewheeling. only then should you come back and suggest what is impossible.

29 December 2016, 06:30 UTC

Personally, I think it makes sense to only reset the odometer when a new motor is installed if and when that would happen, and not after a refresh like a new tire.

29 December 2016, 06:58 UTC

@T-CAT said in OWheelBuddy goes online - let's start the competition:

I had my tire replaced at FM without my odometer beeing reseted

29 December 2016, 17:34 UTC

@slydogstroh oh, sorry to hear that :). It just depends on what FM did with you Board.

But what I can tell you is that the Odometer also resets when your Board completely shuts off while riding. In my case I tried to accelerate too quick with about 5% battery at -2 degree Celsius.

I have implemented a workaround for such issues a few days ago -> the online platform detects when an odometer for a specific Onewheel reports a value which is less that the stored one, in that case the old value will be stored as backup value and the new values are just added to the backup one.

If you could tell me your last odo, I could add it manually as backup value on the server.

@SeeTheInvisible Please do! I'm not sure the exact value I had when I sent it in... the last screenshot I have of it says 2656mi! Go with that. Here is a screenshot of my old reading on the leaderboard. Thank you very much by the way! I was bummed out to see it reset.

@SeeTheInvisible ugh on mobile.. always problems. I'll post the screenshot tonight via my personal computer. Thanks again!

@SeeTheInvisible BOOM! From November 27th.. I probably lost a few miles there but it's still enough to secure #1 :p

@mrb Who are you talking to? And when I have said it is impossible it is because I actually have tried numerous times to hit those speeds and so have plenty of other people. All I ask for is a simple video or something that no one has been able to produce coincidentally.

37.49mph--i suggest that there is no speed limit, only gravity and pushback. your onewheel can go over 100mph--if you throw it out of a plane.

i ride on dirt and grass and can burst about 23 before my tire starts to slip. this speed and anyone else's top speed means fuckall when i can only ride comfortably around 13 without having to negotiate waves of pushback.

fuck pushback. god bless @ahxe45 .

@SeeTheInvisible said in OWheelBuddy goes online - let's start the competition:

But what I can tell you is that the Odometer also resets when your Board completely shuts off while riding. In my case I tried to accelerate too quick with about 5% battery at -2 degree Celsius.

@SeeTheInvisible Just had a full reset of the odometer while having a full shutdown of the machine.

Last ODO was 260kM approx... if you could confirm that on the server?

Thanks

Just got a Great idea: what about planing your trips in the app. According to riding-habbits, ups and downs, typical rider-specific range etc. Should be possible but maybe to mich effort for a Hobby.

@Solaranlage Ehh. Not really needed. I'd rather just lurk my local area looking for spots and catch a charge at any coffee shop or bar I see.

I'm on my third tire and I changed them myself. I don't want my odometer reset. That's one of the things I love about OWbuddy. Vega got 1060 miles, the Hoosier slick got 528 miles and my current tire will probably get close to what the Vega did..

Am I understanding this correctly... the odometer on the OW will reset if you are riding and the battery dies? I went from 550 miles to 4 on the odometer reading... That doesn't make sense to me

2 March 2017, 01:06 UTC

@tonyrumans It takes more than that. I used to ride my OW till it low-battery pushed me off all the time and never had a lifetime odometer reset until I had an accidental dismount in cold weather. What a bummer to lose those proud 800+ miles!

@dcosmos I guess after thinking about it mine must have happened after my ride home on Sunday night. I wonder if it's due to an electrical failure... "total electrical fire" -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2KLw2Pu2IU

One out of the two of my boards consistently resets the miles all the time. I haven't found any rhyme or reason as to why it's doing it. When the miles reset it also puts it back in classic mode.

I've contacted @SeeTheInvisible a few times about this issue. I believe he is working on a fix (backing up the leaderboard score and adding the odo reading to that score every time).

It's too bad. I'd be coming up on 3500 miles! I wonder if I had a friend with an android what the odo reading in the other android app would be... (not Owheelbuddy but the other app).
