BACKFIRE ZEALOT S CLOUDWHEELS HOW TO INSTALL

[@metaljew4456]

Extremely helpful video. I’m putting my cloud wheels on today!

[@esk8world]

Thank you so much! You’re gonna love them man! Which I already know you do from your comment on my other vid 😂

[@MrBrazil_]

Amazing video! Just replaced my stock wheels for the cloud ones after a pretty bad downhill fall from last Sunday (Had my helmet thankfully) and I must say, riding on a not so perfect street makes a day and night difference. It feels so much safer and a smoother. But regardless, thanks for the amazing clean and simple explanation!

[@esk8world]

Glad the video helped and that you were okay after the fall!

[@tr4nsist0r92]

Just got mine and drove for the first time - oh yeah its awesome, i coudnt feel my feet anymore after 10km and now its waaaay better

[@macross7k]

Your board looks awesome now!👍

[@Dafty23]

Wow lol thanks for mentioning the baseplate issue. I was about to go out for a ride today... looks like ill be staying in lol.

[@esk8world]

You’re welcome man. You should email Backfire Boards ([e-mail]) your... Phone Name Street City State Zip Country ...if you have the Zealot S that is and they should sent you a replacement set of baseplates for free. They should have sent you an email, did they not?

[@Dafty23]

@@esk8world My brother actually bought it for me under his email so I had him check his email and I believe there was a form he filled out that I'm sure you're aware of. Once again thank you so much! You potentially saved me from getting hit by a crazy NYC taxi driver lol.

Nice video

[@esk8world]

Thank you 🙏🏻 I appreciate it!

[@maxsuelusa2006YouTubeTv]

I’m thinking about get one zealot S but with this base plate problem, I’m scared now

[@madeinaustralia2020]

am getting cloud wheel kit..thanks..Backfire dont offer such clear information on their site

[@esk8world]

Anytime! You’ll love the cloudwheels.

[@MultiSourmilk]

I'm thinking of buying cloud wheels for my zealot s, does anyone have opinions on cloud Wheels? Would love to hear opinions

[@esk8world]

They’re a game changer. Takes out nearly all the discomfort you experience when riding over rocks, sticks and cracks in the road. Totally worth it!

[@taylorvalente631]

Hey if i have different cloud wheels that are colored there just as good even though there not "backfire" wheels? Just curious what the incentive is to buy their wheels if you wanted color ones?

[@esk8world]

Reason I bought from Backfire was because the wheels come with belt covers, and extra belts designed specifically for the zealot s. I’m sure you can find this package deal elsewhere but I wanted to ensure I was getting the exact hardware I needed to make it work. Plus Backfire just has good customer support and I wanted to keep it simple.

[@Crispykid17]

@@esk8world cloud wheels also includes the needed hardware specific to the zealot s and zealot. So you can’t go wrong buying straight from them either!

[@laosta692002]

Did you use the same bearings from the stock ones? I see that they're a different color than mine

[@esk8world]

The clouds come with generic red bearings but I switched them to zealous bearings with built in spacers because I was having rattling noises with the standard spacers.

[@ChioFreak]

Backfire sent the old baseplate replacement trucks out to the customers. But wouldn't you like to have the new fixed baseplate trucks, when you buy the Zealot S? (The 8-inches one) That's part of the reason why I have bought it. I am also wondering how long the shipping will take. I have ordered 5 days ago and the board still hasn't shipped to Europe.

[@esk8world]

Ideally, yes I would rather the baseplates be functional from the start. I honestly don’t think there’s anything wrong with mine but I’m not taking any chances. I do think it’s great that Backfire told everyone and is essentially fixing the issue. It’s an inconvenience but the board is so worth it. Last I heard they’re making a new batch because they sold out so quick so I don’t know when you’ll get it but soon I hope! 🤞🏻

[@ChioFreak]

@@esk8world I will inform you when I recieve mine, if I got the QC-Passed Truck or the old one. Customer Support said it should come with the new 8-inch truck.

[@esk8world]

@@ChioFreak Yeah let me know! I hope it comes with the new ones so you don’t have to bother with it

[@SumTing_Wong]

@@ChioFreak They will send the Zealot S out by the end of April and you may get the board at the end of June. That´s the latest information i got from Adi. So you get the new baseplates... btw. I ordered mine 2 weeks ago

[@esk8world]

@@SumTing_Wong hope y’all get yours soon, it’s a game changer!

[@Ch12iSx727]

Are the cloudwheels lighter than the stock wheels?

[@esk8world]

They felt about the same weight to me. I do know that you sacrifice range but gain top speed with the clouds

[@bugglegumjr2146]

Good job man. Here is a tip try to sound more excited you sound kinda monotone.

[@esk8world]

Appreciate that feedback man 🙏🏻 I’ll try and do better

[@robm425]

How much range did you lose when you switched to the 105 Clouds?

[@esk8world]

I still haven’t been able to test because my motor is being replaced atm, I’ll let you know when I find out

[@robm425]

@@esk8world oh that stinks having to replace motors. Was service from Backfire good?

[@holyhostXd]

i just road it anyhow lol im really thinking of buying the cloudwheels

[@esk8world]

I haven’t been able to test them yet on the zealot but I have been riding them on my phantom and they’re amazing. Would highly recommend!

[@SumTing_Wong]

Can you send me a Link to the Guitar stand where the Board stand in?

@@esk8world thanks alot 🤘

[@esk8world]

@@SumTing_Wong anytime man, thank you for watching

[@ryanattard9961]

When are you receiving your baseplates?

[@esk8world]

I got a tracking number yesterday but theres no delivery estimate yet. I’ll let you know when I find out!

[@holyhostXd]

you did 200 miles wtf im at 120km and my battery case has hella scars lmao i was looking into putting an extra battery ontop of the board get a few extra km i ride in turbo 90% of the time racing around my home town

[@esk8world]

Haha yeah turbo mode eats battery really fast! I wish it didn’t because that’s definitely my favorite one to ride in. If you end up putting a battery on it let me know!

[@soraisfinallyhere1305]

How are the cloud wheels?

[@esk8world]

They’re amazing! Like having mini pneumatics.
