@eish I don't have my board yet so I am not sure how it handles water but once I get it I will test it out and let you know.

[Polle]

@eish don't think water goes on the deck as the fender seems to have a small 'ridge' (not sure if correct) that goes over the edge of the deck. (According to these pictures, as I'm waiting for mine to arrive)

Edit: I did look better and see that I was wrong :-)

Threw some paint at the fender tonight...

[J-Glide]

[BadWolf]

@J-Glide Is that EL-wire?

[J-Glide]

@BadWolf The line has phosphorus in it and has a small electrical current which goes around the phosphorus, and makes it glow. It's really inexpensive!

[BadWolf]

@J-Glide

Ive ordered a bunch. Will build the batterypack and inverter into my fender :) thanks alot for the idea! Looks awesome!

[SkateFirst.SamT]

someone post where to get that wire and how to hook it up?

@braswell my wheel came with a sticker about that size

[J-Glide]

@BadWolf I can't wait to see what you do

[SC720]

@braswell No sticker...I masked it off and used paint pens on it.

[riofiume]

Some lasers that you don't wanna cross :sunglasses: -o-

[braswell]

Haha damn we have some creative ass riders out here :+1: these look awesome

[braswell]

Still waiting on my fenders... but just wrapped my board with this matte black film cover

Thanks @J-Glide for the Tutorial

[thegreck]

@braswell I had watched that tutorial too and was thinking about doing the blue carbon fiber film, but that matte black looks great!

[J-Glide]

@braswell, @MichaelW, @BruthaMan, @Dude, @Carlo, @BadWolf Here is the very long awaited el-wire installation video. Sorry it took me 2 months.
https://youtu.be/zTFI3EP5Mdc

[braswell]

@J-Glide

1st off thanks for making the video! Can't wait to attempt this and try some ideas of my own :+1:

2nd good job on the background soundtrack haha

3rd cute glue gun ;)

Can't wait to see what else you have cooking up

[SC720]

@J-Glide Nice work! Thanks for doing this video. I was wondering how you swung this. My initial thought was to mount the controller under the front pad to maybe reduce the amount of water/grime that gets to it from the wheel...but that means running the wire under the front sensor pad and not sure if that would affect anything. Any thoughts?

[J-Glide]

@SC720 I'm not sure there would be room for it there. Since the wire and controller have a simple wire clip to undo, you can just unplug it, and put it in your pocket when you are going to hit some wet stuff. Maybe attach the controller with Velcro so its easily removed. The wire shouldn't be hurt by water.

[J-Glide]

@braswell Thanks for the compliment on my sick glue gun. Hahahaha.....

[SC720]

@J-Glide Sorry I wasnt clear...I meant mounting controller under front/sensor part of the board and not actually under the pad. Of course its all moot if if you ride goofy or reverse.

[KeithVlk]

@J-Glide I'm on the newer side of the onewheel community, so pardon this If its a dumb question. But the rails on your board are army green. Did you paint/wrap them or were early versions that color?

Just curious. Thanks for the video!

[Dude]

@J-Glide Great Video, can't wait to see the EL-Tape. I know what I want to see but can you do it :wink:

[J-Glide]

@KeithVlk This color was used on certain boards given as demo boards during the summer of 2015. I purchased this board used off a guy on ebay.

[uncbeast5]

@J-Glide Any chance you can post a picture of the bottom of the board showing the controller and rest of the wire glued?

[uncbeast5]

@uncbeast5 Also, is 9 ft wire El wire fine or would I need longer el wire?

[SC720]

@uncbeast5 9ft is plenty. I cut mine down actually.

[KeithVlk]

@J-Glide ahhhh. Cool. That's pretty awesome. Thanks for the info. And thanks for the video! EL wire looks awesome

[njcustom]

@J-Glide think I might try and put some el tape or the wire in one of my fenders.. Mold it In with the carbon fiber.. Like a glowing racing stripe

[J-Glide]

@njcustom That's an epic idea!!!!

[J-Glide]

@uncbeast5 You can cut it on the opposite end of the controller without hurting it. I already took it off the board so I can start my next project, or I would take a pic.

[libertine]

 

Very straightforward black vinyl wrap.. Never wrapped before but I'm happy with the results and the clean lines - just wish I'd done it before scratching the F out of my rails!

[braswell]

@libertine image too large, downsize and upload again :)

[uncbeast5]

@J-Glide Thanks for the inspiration. I'm loving the tron lights!

[SC720]

@uncbeast5 The red lights are lookin sweet. Nice work!

[Tjandamurra]

Steampunk Onewheel!!!!!

[jwheel]

While I wait for the vinyl wrap to arrive I decided to use a can of plasti-dip I had on my onewheel.
Not the cleanest taping job, the Duct tape stuck to the dip in places, but came out okay.



I'm not sure it'll do much in the way of preventing scratches, but I like the stealthier look.

[J-Glide]

@uncbeast5 That's awesome!!! Good job!!!

[braswell]

Just finished re-wrapping my black matte with a fresh "coat"

Also did my other new one with carbon red. Me likey :+1:

[Dude]

@braswell That looks nice man, I like both of them.

[007]

@J-Glide

how do you do that because it looks so cool

[007]

@riofiume

how do you do that do you just angle the lasers and then stick them down

[OneDream]

@007 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kdr9Ch-TFSc&index=3&list=PLT3boSoEp-Rgji_OzkZTRdRCED4ChgsBo

Can't wait to get my Onewheel and start modding. I will do a matte black as well, but try to make the pads (the wooden part) black too.

[Dude]

@OneDream Ive got some good ideas for that as well. Ive got some top secret projects going on also. :wink:

yep, it works very well with the footpads too.
Was my first try but I like it very much!

[thegreck]

@OneDream I'm gonna do it to mine, too. Probably tonight. I have all the bright blue aluminum wrapped in matte black already, and I think the wood is the part that makes everyone think it's "homemade." The all matte black thing might eliminate that because it looks a lot more industrial... and just really fucking cool!

Thanks for the sweet mod idea @OneDream! I freaking love the way this looks! I wonder if I'll get as many "did you make that?" comments now, because with that wood gone it doesn't look homemade to me anymore. Unless I was Bruce Wayne.

[badcheese]

Hardware store heavy duty utility handle + 2 screw-type stainless hose clamps + bicycle handlebar wrap. I carry the OW with the fender toward me so my work clothes stay clean. It never gets in the way when I ride.

[thegreck]

@badcheese The fender is toward me when I carry it by the handle on the deck, too, so that hasn't been an issue... but does this solution make it easier to carry? Seems like it might.

[badcheese]

@thegreck: Yes, this keeps it from hitting stairs (I walk up and down a lot of stairs every day) and makes it a bit easier to walk on flat ground too, as it's not bumping against the side of my knee as I walk.

[thegreck]

@badcheese Awesome... I carry it on a lot of stairs too, and it's a pain having to try and hold it away from my body as I walk. I might give this a shot.

Anyone know if there's any electronics or wiring in that part of the frame that would keep me from being able to screw right into it?

[braswell]

@thegreck did you lift the padding or cut around it?

[badcheese]

@thegreck It looks to me like the wiring harness runs through the side rail, which is why I used a clamp instead. You could probably tap some coarse threads into it and use a short screw.

[onavircs]

Thinking about what I should do to mine while I wait for it to come...

Part of me kind of wants to use truck bed liner around the frame. Or if not the whole frame, at least underneath and just a bit on the corner edges.

Anybody try? I've never used the hand painted bed liner so a bit iffy on the quality. I'm sure it's fine

[iSurfVilano]

Used canyon copper wrap on mine, it's nice when the light hits it.

[iSurfVilano]

Looks like brushed orange aluminum when the light is not hitting it, here it is in the shade

[Tartopom]

nice color :D I wonder if the wrap resist well to scratches and so on or if after 2 or 3 sessions it will looks like it made war :P

[iSurfVilano]

@Tartopom I created a template for it, so if it looks bad I'll quickly cut another one out.

[No]

No more paint, swapped out grip tape, and concave rear footpad.

[badcheese]

Posted this in its own thread a few days ago, but it's appropriate here. This handle makes it easier to carry.

[kbman]

Magnetically attached tire pump. I do usually have pockets but that's where I want it. It hasn't fallen off yet. We all know the OW likes to roll on its side like a silly pet in the sunshine.. this position is just clear of contacting level ground in event of rollover. Also neodymium magnets are super strong. The front magnet doesn't even touch the rail because of the rubber gasket I could make the rear one do the same as well with virtually no hard scuffing of the rail.
So far I have not noticed any interference from the magnet and tech folks I asked say it should not .!

Just got done with a 2 week project giving my OW a complete performance overhaul, deep concave footpads made of multi-colored wood, aluminum foot stops to keep my feet from bouncing off in rough terrain, and a 3 piece fender with a removable center. Post with details and pics coming someday..maybe

highly appreciated!

[8bit]

Oh yeah just a thought, does spray painting the wood around the pads or applying vinyl void your warranty?

[FutureBoy]

This is my first mod (and post). I designed a wider foot pad and added Vicious grip tape. (Thanks for the post about using the adhesive back so the sensor doesn't stick to the grip tape!) I wrapped the frame in vinyl matte black. I also added 1/8" neoprene adhesive sheet under the wood deck. (My thinking was this would help seal the internals, add shock absorbency and maybe keep the battery warm during those cold night rides.)

[FutureBoy]

This post is deleted!

[braswell]

@FutureBoy nicely done man. Did you just match the screw holes for the new deck? What type of wood did you end up using as well?

[cr4p]

@FutureBoy I have also played around with different designes for a wider outline, but I did not had the creativity to find one that I like - but i like yours!

[FutureBoy]

@braswell Thanks!! Yes same hole locations and screws. I used 12" x 12" craft plywood sheets from the hardware store - it doesn't say the type of wood - looks like the original wood. Easy to work with - just cut, drilled, countersunk holes, sanded and sprayed on clear polyurethane. It was a hair thinner than the original wood so it worked well with the neoprene under it.

[No]

@FutureBoy has the neoprene changed the feel of the ride?

[FutureBoy]

@cr4p Thank you!! I used foam core templates to see what looked good. Thinking about adding a simple angled piece for front / tail kick.

[enjoi408]

@FutureBoy Good work! I like it a lot. The wider plates might be long enough to protect the rails from hitting the ground. The LED is a nice touch, can we see pics of that?

[FutureBoy]

@No It's hard to say. It might just be psychological, it's only 1/8" thick - but maybe a bit smoother ride. Originally I didn't like the fact I could see a gap between the top of the bumpers and the bottom of the stock deck and wanted to seal it.

[FutureBoy]

@enjoi408 Thanks! Great point! - and it's only $3 for a new sheet of wood. The LEDs strip lights are waterproof and battery powered. It's on Amazon, I got the 1M length. I used more adhesive neoprene sheets to hide any wires. I mounted the battery with 3M outdoor? double sided foam tape - very strong. It's fun to ride at night, just want to make sure cars see me.

[slydogstroh]

@FutureBoy Awesome Mods! Looking really good. I thrash my board too much to worry about fancy lights or anything xD
Your board looks so fresh! Get out and RIDE!!!

[No]

@slydogstroh Same here, I wish I could install wider decks, but with where and how I ride, the protruding wood would get chewed off by rocks in no time.

[FutureBoy]

@slydogstroh Thanks! You're right - it's all about the ride!!!

[FutureBoy]

@No I'm more of an easy rider - however my shoes still extends past the width of the board. I love your mods bty!

[No]

@FutureBoy thanks man, you too, really well done mods that match your riding style

Nice. I am originally from Iowa. If I'm ever in Chicago for a few days I will hit you up to ride.

[kmacor]

@mrb what kind of tire studs did you use??

[thegreck]

I've seen where a few people have added a surfboard kickplate to the back deck of their Onewheel, and it seemed like a great idea and I really liked the way it looked, so I had to try it.

I love it! It really gives you a lot of additional control, especially when turning/carving, and it's great to always know where your back foot is without having to look.

[Hubbitron]

A dog pissed on my board at the dog park. Worst mod ever.

[Snurfer]

People should consider Bloom traction pads. Made out of algae instead of petroleum products:

Reduce Reuse Recyle brah!

[carvewell]

@Snurfer 🙏🏿🙏🏾🙏🏽🙏🙏🏼🙏🏻🤘👍🤙

[FutureBoy]

After grinding though the edges the wider wood footpads like cardboard, I decided to replace them with 1/4" acrylic footpads. I figure bumpers and fenders are plastic - they're holding up much better. Also added 1/8" adhesive neoprene directly under the Vicious grip tape, making it more comfy and grippy - no issues with the sensor.
However, the best mod is the Hoosier (d30A) treaded tire! (I got a de-beading tool and mounted the tire myself.) It's even more fun to ride! I was riding last night with a big smile on my face. It's so responsive and as pointed out more playful and agile. I was doing slalom runs between the little cracks in the pavement. Props to @No, @Earthpilot and @cr4p for their tire experiments, and @njcustom and @sonny123 posts on removing the wheel / tire. The tire looks so cool I don't want to cover it up with the fender.

Things to do waiting for good weather and the -o-+. I will be changing the Vega on that one too.

Acrylic and neoprene - I can see the power light as I ride. (goofy)

[braswell]

@FutureBoy damn that's bad ass! I would love to ride to feel the difference

[FutureBoy]

@Earthpilot Thanks! I got it on Amazon. It's at 15 psi. I did file the lip of the battery box a bit so I think it could go higher. How are you going to add a kick plate if I might ask? It's for your v2?

[Earthpilot]

@FutureBoy I have a V1 that I am staying with for now. The foam kickplates that people are adding to their back decks. They are for surfboards

[FutureBoy]

@Earthpilot I did sand the bottom of the acrylic so it's frosted. I was going to add LED strip lights where the fender meets the plates. You can see a notch in the photo. I actually have some el wire but it wasn't bright enough to make the plates glow. Might try it later, I just like the look without the fender for now.

[FutureBoy]

@Earthpilot Cool idea about etching. I do have a dremmel tool and clear Vicious grip tape...

[Earthpilot]

@FutureBoy Ooh boy, let's see your crafting magic

[FutureBoy]

@braswell Thanks. The wider pads and grip are definitely nice but the tire is biggest upgrade in my opinion.

[MadCap]

@FutureBoy please be so Kind and explain once more what you did exactly about the footsensor?
Did you remove it ? You just stuck the foam over the existing pads ?
How does the OW sensor work? weight? or somehower in a different way?

I live in Germany and am slightly relutant Tuning my OW - since if something goes south.... I do not have a cheap/quick
place to send it in.... and would be basically grounded.

[Solaranlage]

i Gave it a try myself, looks like a Butterfly now. Also added a Picture of the Sensor. i basically rebuild the Sensor the wa it was on the original.

[timvdp]

[Solaranlage]

@timvdp love that one.

I wanted something wider cause my feet are so big. And the 3 sided concave design really changes the ride.

Its far not as professional as the one made by @cr4p or the others i've seen. But its not the look that counts.

[timvdp]

[FutureBoy]

@Earthpilot You got me thinking about adding a rear kickplate. I decided to use polystyrene and a foam cutter. It's light but strong, in the photo you can see I ran it over with my SUV. It's easy to test different shapes and angles. I just covered the sides with vinyl tape and secured it to the acrylic deck with double-sided carpet tape and under the neoprene / grip tape. Works great so far.

[slydogstroh]

@FutureBoy Hey man, do you ever RIDE your board? haha Looks CLEAN! The mods are cool, but mean little unless you're out there ripping.

[goodblake-eskate]

@FutureBoy That thing is awesome! New business idea, custom designed Onewheels or eskates. Or new tv show, Pimp My Onewheel. Good work!

[enjoi408]

@FutureBoy I like the ramps! Great work.

Just a thought, since you only ramped the grip taped area, you wider foot plates now become useless because your foot no longer can touches them.

[FutureBoy]

@enjoi408 The total width is of the grip tape is still wider than the original (outside of frame to outside of frame.) The front pad isn't raised.

[FutureBoy]

@goodblake-eskate Thanks man! It just makes the ride that much more fun.

[FutureBoy]

@slydogstroh Every chance I get!

[Snurfer]

@FutureBoy what tool did you use to break the bead on the original wheel? Was it the one shown somewhere on the forum elsewhere. The one you stomp on?

[braswell]

@drew fresh!

[FutureBoy]

@drew That color is hypnotic! It reminds me of those 50's hot rods. All you need is more chrome and a white wall tire.

[Solaranlage]

Took a view rides with the new footpads. And its great. I love it. Much more control, and very important to me. No more foot fatigue at all. The hoosier treaded tire arrived last week, but i think ill wait for the vega to be worn down.

[Aaron Broward FL]

@FutureBoy and @Earthpilot

1. FB, love the footpads design.
2. Saw the discussion on sort of anti fatiguing the design a bit. It's something that i think about all Time. So, aside what i have done with my shoes, i think those surfboard kickpads provide a mild impact reduction. It may not be obvious to the average rider, but especially on long rides, it reduces. The repeaded microvibrations are what causes the stress and fatigue.
   testing right over the stock grip tape.. no problem taking it of a few weeks take as grippy as ever. However this ideas led me back to a material i worked with before.

Anti-fatigue mat https://www.amazon.com/Anti-Fatigue-Ergonomically-Engineered-Non-Toxic-Waterproof/dp/B01B868D1M/ref=sr_1_6?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1489232282&sr=1-6&keywords=anti-fatigue+mat

I have been wanting to get a hold of a Mat, cut it up use it as a base and slap the grip tape on that and see how it goes. I have noticed that even standing in the wood shop, that stuff is amazing at how wel it can keep you comfortably standing in 1 place..
and 4 i can't wait to get my plus and put the treaded tire on it.:)

[gbones2692]

@FutureBoy do you have a link for where to get the tire from ? , and does anyone know if the OW+ is the same size tire

[FutureBoy]

@Aaron-Broward-FL Yes! I actually had that same exact mat in mind to try. My feet get numb after riding a while. I even put special shoe insoles to see if that would help. V3 should have a mini shock absorber, like on mountain bikes, where the axle meets the frame - how cool would that be.

[FutureBoy]

@gbones2692 The D30A seems harder to find sometimes.
Hoosier link

[gbones2692]

@FutureBoy thanks , this community is huge and thanks for the help , do we know yet if the tire size of OW and OW+ are the same size ? , or is that still up for determination

[Aaron Broward FL]

@FutureBoy if you want to take out the shock.... Get springblade shoes. Especially on long trips it takes the minishock out pretty well, I also recomend dr. Scholl gel inserts. I ride almost always with springblades though. Here is a video. https://youtu.be/a_oZr_FVBsc

[FutureBoy]

@gbones2692 I don't have mine yet but on the OW website picture shows 11.5 x 6.5 - 6 on the tire.

[cr4p]

nothing new, but i just post some mods i have done here to the customization thread, to make it easier to be found - as someone suggested.

1. "DIY mobile super charger"
   to extend the off-road rides (still wanting to replace it with a improved version from andi)
   

2. DIY OW Stand
   

3. black carbon foiled (according to @J-Glide ´s awesome tutorial) & black painted pads
   

4. DIY 3-side-concave-pads with viciuos grip tape
   (as described within this thread, but inspired by @ashewheeler ´s & @No ´s pioneering work)
   

5. one of @njcustom awesome magnetic custom carbon fenders
   (coated it with a black-rubber layer to cover the scratches from off-road riding)
   

6. a DIY undercoating protective layer
   to protect the bottom during offroading.
   

7. @no ´s discovered treaded hoosier tire (in D30)
   

8. DIY Bumper
   to protect the custom pads for offroading.

Nice to share with you. Turn your 'lame' solowheel info a very fast onewheel. These solowheels have great range and speed. I will stay faithfull to my onewheel, however I liked this idea.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-NBGK1wR73w

[carvewell]

$5-10 worth of stuff from Lowe's and you can start sending
➖🌎➖

[ltl]

@ashewheeler Wauw that is great. I would love to buy your custom pads. Would it be possible to develop a version that you can clip on the current frame and pads? So you don't need the sensor for your full replacement solution. Just keep the original pads and clip on a frame around the onewheel. I would expect that you would get a lot of orders from the forum members. Just as @njcustom and his great fenders.

[cr4p]

@ashewheeler : incredible shot - i love it!

@ashewheeler I love these. Def going to buy some rope at Home Depot this weekend......

[carvewell]

@slydogstroh I will post my receipt from Lowe's and a little explanation of my setup

[slydogstroh]

@thegreck I'm pretty hardcore with riding in the streets of Chicago, but not so good at the tricks. It's all about progression though. You may have confused me with my man @jeffmccosker he's SMOOTH.

[sonny123]

@slydogstroh

How you guys doing snow wise?
We pulled off a foot of snow with a good chunk of ice and sleet...
In short, a mess and no shredding for good few days.
Took my Onewheel out 3 times yesterday in anticipation..
Good thing my dog loves the snow and kept me busy all day..

[slydogstroh]

@sonny123 Got pounded with snow today.... I'm thinking Thursday is the soonest I'll be shredding again. And only 3 times yesterday? lol jk. I do usually ride 4 times a day though xD #nolife
//
EDIT (staying on topic): That's why I wonder why these guys have all this time to do these mods... I'm usually out ripping. They are cool though!

[dcosmos]

@sonny123 Bit of snow, slush, and salt here but commuted anyway. Stayed off the OW yesterday because I've found that the deeper snow seems to pack under the non-sensor/battery end pad and essentially freezes it. I believe it may be the cause of complete shutdowns, lifetime odo resets, and otherwise funky behavior. Have you tried riding on a frozen lake? It's amazing the OW can do it if you're very careful with speed and direction changes. Like always, momentum is your friend.

[sonny123]

@dcosmos

I tried once riding in snow and it didn't go well.
Frozen lake sounds a bit scary.
Heck, if the ice breaks, I'll lose my beloved OW. lol...

[dcosmos]

@sonny123 I had been drinking at a fisherie when I thought this would be fun. I still encounter ice patches on my daily commute that give me good practice becoming one with the board.

[thegreck]

@slydogstroh said in Have you done any customization or any modification? Post pictures!:

You may have confused me with my man @jeffmccosker he's SMOOTH.

Oh yeah, my bad! One too many falls on the asphalt lately, I'm losing my memory.

[braswell]

Had to fix the +'s most glaring problem. Next up vicious grip :)

-Oh and don't worry I cut holes for the "Hyper Core" :D lol

[carvewell]

@braswell 🔥bro love it🤘

[Snurfer]

Thanks to @ashewheeler and his ingenuity with the handle, I think I just came up with a great idea:

http://burtonriglet.com/howto-burton-riglet-reel/

Made for towing your kid snowboarding, this retractable handle could likely mount to the center of the fender. That way you could grab it when about to hit the jump, sketchy area, whatever...the release it back to the mount automatically. BOOM. Game changer?? Best of both worlds!

Back to mowing the yard. 🙌🤘🤙

[carvewell]

@Snurfer yes bro the flow of evolution I love it➖🌎➖

[thegreck]

@braswell BTW, you don't have to cut a hole for the hypercore if you'd prefer not to. The heat doesn't actually come through that hole like it appears it does in the graphic Future Motion uses. Those arrows are showing that the heat is being pulled from the axle of the wheel, not really through the holes in the rails. It's more being dispersed across the aluminum frame and immediately into the air.

[braswell]

@Snurfer looks awesome, great find! So does this mean you'll be a guinea pig? ;)

[Snurfer]

@braswell I later read some mixed reviews of the riglet, so I'm Not sure anymore. Worried about the strength. I started looking for a stronger alternative and found this:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B009FGA1HM/ref=cm_cr_arp_mb_bdcrb_top?ie=UTF8

It's kind of bulky and I don't think it would be ideal, but it's worth considering.

I need my plus before I can try anything 😔

I started thinking a strong bungee might work, kind of like what the burton no fish board used to have. I dunno.

I still am waiting on @ashewheeler to post the shopping list for his setup!

[FutureBoy]

I modified an old school deck and a pool deck and mounted them on Onewheels. The pool deck is 11.25" x 34" the smaller one is 10" x 33". I used 1/4" neoprene underneath the boards and skid rails under the sides. I wanted the feel of a concave board front and back and on the sides. I'm not much of a wood worker - so I tried this and love the feel and control. One rides like a big power boat and the other (hoosier) rides like a jet ski.

11 x 34 deck / Vega

10 x 33 deck / Hoosier

[J-Glide]

@FutureBoy Great job!!!

[enjoi408]

@FutureBoy What happened to your previous footpads?

[timvdp]

how did you transfer the sensor stuff?..no troubles with the sensor??

[braswell]

damn I really want the Hoosier tire! I just don't want to modify the board at all.

[Snurfer]

@FutureBoy thats so sick! I was thinking of doing something similar. How did you keep the waterproof aspect going under the deck? I'd imagine the concave brought up the edges a bit.

[No]

@Snurfer I used their products to make new footpads before. As someone with zero experience laminating, it was harder than the site made it out to be, and my finished product ended up warping after a few months, probably due to my lack of experience, just my 0.02$. The color options are interesting though, someday I'd like to try again and build multi-colored footpads for my V2

[FutureBoy]

@No And for that price you could get two Alva pool decks (beautiful maple) with change $.

[No]

@FutureBoy true, but for my project, I wanted to replicate the stock footpads, but I agree, if looks weren't a concern (not that the decks look bad, just a preference) using real decks would be the best option for sure

[Snurfer]

@No Thanks for the insight. I wonder if you sealed the pressed footpads with any polyurethane or if humidity was high when you vacuum sealed the footpads. Warping would be no good!

If you are done with your roar-rocket supplies, I might be interested in taking it off your hands :)

Trying to decide between these wraps: 3M Red Metallic and Autvivid Carbon Fiber Burgundy.
I was also considering layering 2 colors (like burgundy and black) and cutting out a pattern revealing the color below but I'm not sure how well these things sit on top of each other...

Possibly a burgundy wrap with a spiderman logo cut out to reveal the onewheel blue underneath?

[floaton]

Nice safety feature from the side

owarmor.com ) @itwire ( Skinny rails and OWReflect, pretty hot and tempting

[No]

Added a side handle. Been using it for a couple weeks, I've sent my OW tumbling down a few rocky hills, and it's still holding on.

Edit: also shown in the pics... I stripped all the paint off the hub and rails, then repainted the rails with 3 stripes of exposed aluminum.

[timvdp]

now that's "customisation"!:)
nice pics
maybe add a laserscope or someting ;)

[No]

@timvdp hmmm maybe a paintball gun...

[ryan1Auburn]

@ricoburgos looks sweet!

[iiikz]

Nothing fancy - but in case anyone was wondering what the clear vicious tape looks like on the OW+:

[polysix]

@iiikz Ha! I did the same but on the back only. I thought it would be more see through than it is but I'm so happy with the grip of the vicious tape that there's no going back. Also, covering that ungripped piece of wood was necessary.

[iiikz]

@polysix yeah, once i realized how easily the original tape peeled off i decided to go ahead and peel the front as well.

at some point i plan to pull the back off and do something with contrast - either stickers or something of my own design.

[timvdp]

mwa I think it looks a bit unfinished/ pale wood..not dark laquared..no logo
but it gives us an idea about the new sensor of the +..thanks!;)
enjoy!:)

[Snurfer]

@iiikz Quick Question: Were you able to peel off the original tape in once piece?

If so, I may do the same and try and keep the original on standby in case I need to send in for warranty work. That way I could potentially re-apply the original tape to avoid voiding the warranty.

[thegreck]

@Snurfer The original grip tape came off my V1 in one piece, and I didn't even heat it up. The tape is stronger than the glue, so you shouldn't have a problem.

[jew_fro_1009]

@Snurfer im preety sure taking off grip tape dosent void your warranty as long as you have the foot pad with plastic on the sensor you should be good

[Snurfer]

@jew_fro_1009 Unfortunately that is not what the owners manual says for the Plus.

[iiikz]

@Snurfer yes, and it was surprisingly easy to remove. no heat required - i literally just started in one corner with my fingers and it pulled off with ease.

[jew_fro_1009]

@ahxe45 yes the vicious griptape is totally worth it like i said to @CBR-954rr you can always just put new footpads on if you have to send it inj

[jew_fro_1009]

@jew_fro_1009 and the footpads are not covered by the warranty just a heads up so if it says it voids the warranty they mean the whole board

[darthj0n]

@timvdp Did you put v2 bumpers and decks?

[onewheelwraith]

@riofiume Where Did You Get These Lasers? How are they mounted?

[Onewheel Miami]

Here's my latest board version.

Blackout with Eight2Ten products - swap to a monochrome griptape, with custom stencil work on it. Pretty darn happy.

[adeafgerm]

WOW! Thanks for sharing your pictures. This is my first time seeing all of your modifications and I like futureboy's because it looks like my board, the Doubletail. I transferred my V1 sensor to an Onetail so I can have Onetails on both sides. Many people claimed I'd nosedive more because of that modification but it isn't true lol! I would LOVE to use the sensor from a plus footpad because they are larger than the V1 sensor but they are not available for sale yet. Anyway, the flight fins inspired me to install Freeboad's S2 Bindings on the Doubletail so I can carve harder and jump over cracks, tree roots, and curbs. Now, many people are claiming I will break my ankles if I nosedive lol. I like the detachable S2 bindings and it gives my board a double personality lol. Without them, it's name is still the Doubletail but when I put the bindings back on I call my board the Ankle Breaker ha.

[steeve]

@iiikz
Hello! You obviously remove the original grip tape that was over the sensor,any trick on how to remove it with out damaging the sensor?
Thanks Steve

Winter is coming.

[adeafgerm]

@steeve I used a heat gun on low setting to make the tape easier to peel off (be careful not to melt the tape). I read that blow dryers work too also some people leave their OW in the sun for few hours to soften the tape. The challenge for me was removing the plastic covering the sensor it was glued down pretty good (I used putty knife).

[mtruby82]

@ow-miami Looks good! What kind of grip tape did you use?

[steeve]

@futureboy
Beautiful Job on the Boards Decks!!
Question did you move the sensor in between the grip tape the board or did you leave it where it was is the back of the board on top of the sensor???

[adeafgerm]

I got rid of the S2 bindings because I realized I like to use the Onewheel for cruising, not tricks/flights. Anyway, I got tired of waiting for the plus footpad so I put two V1 sensors in parallel on my Onetail. It works really nice and it feels like a plus footpad lol. My wife loved my mod so I made a second one for her Onewheel! I know this set up cost $100 for two sensors plus $100 for the Onetail on each side but it is WORTH it!!!

[adrenalinanimal]

@sonny123 Onewheels float - so no worries. Sent mine off the dock into the lake. A paddle tire and some more power; then I will be able rip across the lake.

Your tire lettering looks great! Nice job!

Did you cut your XR graphic by hand? Or do you have access to a SUMA plotter?

[causticgrip]

@JFB all the tape work you see was by hand.
And thanks on the wheel letters.

Look's Awesome!
Question is the pool deck right on top of the stock sensor foot pad with 1/4 neoprene between the pool deck and stock foot pad.What did you mean by : the boards and skid rails under the sides?
I would appreciate a reply.
