Definitely my favorite Onewheel KZbinr

[@ManBearPig_FE]

Thanks for the video and advice. I've had the TFL Savers sitting in a box for months, because I've been dreading using other youtubers video suggestions on breaking the tire bead (2x4, skateboard, $69 dedicated tire bead breaker, etc.). Your suggestion using an adjustable bar clap was genius and a simple tool I had - worked like a charm! Geez whiz info - for my stock FM treaded GT tire it took about 50-52psi to seat both tire beads on install.

[@ThatsGinterEV]

Glad it was helpful! ...the only hard part is wrestling on the lifesavers 😅

[@MrJakefuller]

Way to brave the heat, it's no joke out there!! Great video, informative and entertaining. You've got a fluid riding style that's fun to watch.

[@ThatsGinterEV]

Thanks!! Next time I ride, I think I"ll just go in swim trunks and float straight into the pool... badgered GT can handle it right??! 😂

[@MrJakefuller]

@@ThatsGinterEV Haha! "Those boards don't work on water. Unless you've got power!"

[@Echo5Hotel]

Great video! Your interaction with Mikey is awesome 😃

[@floatershack8320]

Great video! Nailed with the 3Dway Wedge Pro fenders.

[@ThatsGinterEV]

Thx, I dig 'em!!

[@unlimitedlives2613]

I didn’t think it was possible to use the mag handle and Lifesavers at the same time thanks for the video

[@Chewbaccawheel]

They say it’s not compatible but from my experience with them it just rubs a little bit and will get broken in after 10miles. I only noticed a scraping at first when I went in reverse.

[@seandadude]

Another excellent video! Loving the GT 3rd party content!

[@ThatsGinterEV]

Thx!! 🧡 I miss my GT buddy!!

[@ignasias]

Thanks for the video. This answers my concern about the mag handle potentially rubbing the lifesavers, i knew it was gonna come close

[@deemontes7265]

Dope edit as always my friend 👌🏼🤙🏼

[@ThatsGinterEV]

Tysm!! 🤙🏼

[@CayoticProphet]

Milwaukee tools bro! The packout kit with drawers is a game changer!

[@ThatsGinterEV]

Thanks, I'll check it out!! 👍🏼

[@paulcroach7262]

Great video! I use Milwaukee drill excellent and small enough for working on boards. Under 100 bucks.

[@SeanPaulNotTheSinger]

For when the Enduro comes in, boil the Float Life Savers. It makes the rubber more supple, if a bit warm to put on. Also, the Dewalt Gyroscopic Screwdriver is clutch for plucking the board apart without destroying various parts of your hand/fingers.

[@ThatsGinterEV]

Interesting…. thanks for the tip! Also I think I was eyeing that DeWalt before! 🤔

[@unknown.z34_33]

@@ThatsGinterEV the dewalt is def nice. Has a adjustable clutch too so you can set a good torque spot.

[@Jrekt]

T47 fits the hub bolts supposedly as well. This video will come in handy for when my life savers and enduro arrive soon :)

[@ThatsGinterEV]

Good to know!! Whatever the tool/bit, just make sure it's a snug fit!! ...last thing anyone wants to do is strip those hub bolts!

[@Jrekt]

@@ThatsGinterEV ya one teardown video a guy used it. I got a t47 bit coming from amazon. Better fit lol

[@BillyShredder]

Mike is the best! Rad video yo.

[@ThatsGinterEV]

I keep him around cause he makes me feel smart 😜

[@Traveticus]

Tip for you on power tools, I dont think you should use them on the hub bolts because there is a chance you can shear off threads with something to torquey. For that you just want a longer handle ratchet or a breaker bar, but I've heard the hub bolts shouldnt be too tight from the factory if you have a standard ratchet. As for power tools as an electrician I like milwaukee, but every other trade seems to prefer dewalt. For home use I have Ridgid power tools because they warranty the batteries for life. The batteries definitely don't last for life, but its easy tog et replacement batteries under the warranty if you register the tools!

[@ThatsGinterEV]

Travis! Thanks a lot for the advice... sheering or just damaging the threading is something I'm always trying to be cautious of! Yea, I def need to get a longer ratchet of some sort...need that extra leverage!

[@N253]

Your videos are fun I like your altar Ego haha 😂 I do have a question when you’re out riding what settings are you at Flow Highline?… I ask because I feel if I nose down like I see you in your videos my board will take off like a rocket and I don’t know if I have full control when I take the nose half inch from black top just curious keep the videos coming they’re awesome. Thx

[@ThatsGinterEV]

Much Thanks! I was riding in Highline for a while, but have recently started riding in Flow. It aids in smoother acceleration and braking, and can be more forgiving if you are a heavier rider. Even though I'm on the lighter side, it still helps reduce power surge in tricky situations (rocky desert trails). But no matter what ride profile you prefer, it will come down to getting used to the torque of the motor at different speeds, slopes, terrain, etc. The more you ride, the more of a "feel" you get for it, but you do have to push the board, and yourself, to the limit every so often to know the thresholds. Hope that helps! 🤙🏼

[@N253]

@@ThatsGinterEV Thank you so much that’s the best definition of the shaping modes that I’ve heard definitely need to be one with the board you’re right need to spend more time working the board thanks again really helped

[@DisneyMagicwithForti]

Mikey is rocking the Purple wig. Life savers 🤣 who needs power tools 🤣. Good video. Almost at 1K subs 🎉

[@ThatsGinterEV]

I had to figure something out for Mikey since I cut my hair 😜

[@jessecavalcante4944]

Great video!! I just bought my Onewheel and want to install the life savers but I was little concern of take my board apart because of the warranty, could that be a problem or not? Thank you very much

[@ThatsGinterEV]

Most modifications you do to your Onewheel could be a considered a "warranty voided" situation if you ask Future Motion's legal team lol. But as far as actually breaking any "Warranty Void" stickers, nope, none that you'll remove here, it's basically 1 step away from a tire change. 🤙🏼

[@ryandodson3703]

Great video! Subscribed! Does disconnecting the power to tire void warranty? Just got my GT and life savers this weekend

[@ThatsGinterEV]

Thx Ryan!! Nope, it does not.

[@ryandodson3703]

Great! Followed everything but the valve stem part. Do we have to remove that piece to let enough air out of the tire?

[@BirdPhish]

Sugar is super bad for your health Ginter.... At 300 miles of experience with my GT now and curb nudges are bad for my health...kind of painful for me right now lol...end up picking myself off the pavement. I need to find a curb leading into grass lol. What do ya think....should I keep trying to learn with my stock GT or would the 3Dway Wedges help me learn curb nudges quicker? Got the curb drops down but it'd be useful in getting around town to learn the other direction too. Thanks for sharing!

[@ThatsGinterEV]

Ha, yea...I have a sweet tooth, but usually it's for chocolate =). I learned how to curb nudge without any assistance from flight fins or wedges... so it's hard for me to say if it'll help you learn faster as it is more of a cheat (but if it works it works!). The trick is technique + timing + lots of practice. I learned on a short curb, and took it slow until things started to click. Contrary to belief, you don't have to ride fast or slam hard to pull it off.

[@BirdPhish]

@@ThatsGinterEV Dark chocolate...80% or better cocoa...good for testosterone :)

[@Rockford217]

Left my savers in the sun while I took the board apart made it easier but still can’t feel my thumbs 2days later

[@ThatsGinterEV]

Sweet, so I can have a 2nd degree burns 🔥 AND sore digits 😂. Jk

[@Chewbaccawheel]

Throw some armor chilloz or statorade in your motor next video. Especially with that AZ heat it would really keep your motor from overheating and shutting down suddenly.

[@siggy2694]

Man that was a quick 21 min. On my pint, i find it very hard to nudge the board up and over stuff. Do they make these for pint too?

[@ThatsGinterEV]

It looks like they do!! Link - www.etsy.com/listing/1012776330/wedge-pro-fenders-for-onewheel-pint

[@cllnmahoney]

[@bk6271]

You said they “pretty much worked” did the rims still get scratched?

[@ThatsGinterEV]

I think the heat was getting to me lol, they definitely worked on my messed up bonks/nudges…I just didn’t have a hard enough impact to go “definitely saved my rim on that one!”. Honestly, for under $30 bucks, it’s a no brainer buy. If you dent your rim bad, that’s a whole new GT @ $2200+ since you can’t buy just a replacement rim.

[@LucianObsidian]

wtf is the white Life Savers a different formula? I even boiled them for 10mins and couldnt get them on

[@ThatsGinterEV]

Not sure if different colors have a different formula, but I did recently hear from a friend that the newer version of Life Savers (new ones have a more rounded edge), were a lot more difficult to install.

[@tanner32844]

Hi I am also a fellow GT owner and as I can see from your other videos you've had to send your board back three times. My board is at FM right now for the fourth time so I guess I am now the leader in how many times I've had to send it back lol this time it was a bad motor. Just asking for your opinion. Should I sell my GT when I get it back and then buy a new one in a couple months and then hope that one doesn't have any problems. Or should I just keep mine and hope it doesn't break again. It's just that I can't keep sending this thing back when my warranty expires.

[@tanner32844]

Also, I would love to hear anyone's opinion on this situation

[@ThatsGinterEV]

Aww man...that sucks. I think it depends on how badly you want the GT to work. If you have an XR or other PEV you enjoy, I don't see why you NEED the GT now. I had a friend with ghosting issues multiple times, and on his last full replacement board, it still ghosted. He was fed up and just asked for a refund from FM and they obliged. So maybe try it one last time and if it still gives you problems, request a refund - that way you get your full money back, cause if you sell it yourself, you might not. After the dust settles, hopefully future GTs will be problem free.
