@@carlomannina4080 thank you so much brother they are my favorite thing man, and have improved my quality of life… dare I say , when I picked it up, “gave me a quality of life”
Woke up this morning to take my youngest to school and I’m still laying in bed and see another Johnny video… your style of riding and the way you speak is awesome. Thanks for doing what you do. It’s dry today in the Pacific Northwest so I’m going to Ride to work, it’s cold but I don’t mind….Cheers Olympia WA
Thank you!!! I have to tell you- your reply about wanting more content has been sticking with me and I can't tell you how motivating it is. Thank you for your kindness- and I have some pretty cool stuff lined up Largely motivated to get it out by your kindness my friend. Cheers and enjoy your ride, I just got back from jumping my v14!!! Let me know how it went! As an aside i love the cold to ride because the layers make me feel safer- is that weird?
@ It absolutely makes sense about the layers, I feel the same way. I have been alcohol free now for 1 year and 6 months with no inclination of ever picking a drop up thanks to this new found hobby. The family dynamic has grown tremendously and I thank God as well as my wife for putting up with me and sticking by my side for 22 years even through the rough times when all I did was goto work and come home and drink and repeat. Cheers my friend and maybe someday we can cross paths but until then I’ll see you on UA-cam. I’ve made a couple videos but nothing like your masterpieces. With time I’ll get better at them. Your vibe is amazing and I feel like I know you and never met you…..Cheers
I preordered a Nosfet Aero as basically my first wheel and I’m excited. A local rider has lent or given me his commander pro to learn on but it’s so big that I haven’t been able to figure it out yet. I’m putting a lot of trust into Jack and the Nosfet team but I’m extremely optimistic
@@jontaba80 a wheel of that size (the aero) will be easy peezy to ride and learn on - Big wheels are challenging And you will have a harder time with riding backwards and learning all the things - So happy for you bro
Of all the trails I’ve ridden, I have never used the trolley handle. Street and flat land I have. Trails if your not riding them your pushing your wheel up down or through terrain where it’s better to grip the handles or body/seat
This is where my mind sits with regard to the "trail" wheels- , in fact my v14 trolly handle just caused grief for me for so long. Fixed now- but man... nightmare sauce
I saw that- but it was a bold statement to make out of the gate and i was curious as to why- But i did see that , and it seems pretty functional! What did you think about it ???
@@johnnygovroom Thanks Johnny, I personally resonate with Jack's rationale to exclude the trolley handle, since they tend to break, and are often clunky. Nosfet aimed to purpose-build Apex, and that would mean some compromises. Kinda like asking a Porche 911 to have comfortable ride height or cushier seats.
@@johnnygovroom Thanks for the engagement Johnny! I'll add that Nosfet has earned my respect by their responsiveness to user feedback and updated their weak components, like the adjustable teeth. They are on top of their game for this Kaizen.
Huge miss !! Trolly handle is a must. No padded seat another huge miss. Who helped designed this wheel surely ain’t thinking about the daily euc user!!
And yaknow what? That's exactly the point. They weren't trying to appeal to everyone which is a common mistake found in many other "purpose built" wheels. The daily euc user doesn't need to be thought of when a pure performance wheel is the end goal.
Great info mate, appreciated. Regarding improved wheels: Frontlights are great on certain new wheels like Apex and the Lynx'. - How come Begode Et Max have very small front light, while the mten4 have a massive front lights. ? Im just wonderfin.... Thx for great video ....
@@FinnBjerke thanks so much brother!!! - I have no idea with regard to Begode putting what seems like the mten 5 light on a wheel like the master pro- It’s wild, but I think we are seeing a revolution in quality across the board. I’m hoping af least
@@johnnygovroom I was hoping for better bearings since I find it annoying to upgrade original chinese bearings after 1000 km er so. SKF is the better choice I find
@@johnnygovroom They seem to be longlived and good quality. I have 61000 km on 5 wheels the past 4 yrs, the pattern seem to be SKF bearings are stronger than the orginal chinese ones. Another Swedish bearing is FAG, made by Volvo.
1. Trolley: Not the most important thing, but sometimes after whole day of jumps in the sonny day or some killer offroad you just want to stop at the shop and buy some stuff. I totally agree that telescopic trolley is not needed here as it obviously isn't shopping / around-the-city wheel. Though something simple like in X-Way would do the job - also gives You some seat and wheel protection. 2. It uses LeaperKim hardware and software - which is the weakest point of LK wheels. For some reason they choose worst possible company to outsource them with electronics and software. Firmware in Lynx (which is base for APEX) just sucks - pedal behavior, deep of death on steep ramps etc... (pedal behavior got a bit better since last update, though it still isn't that good as in latest begode wheels) 3. Over engineered suspension - They literally took the best part from Lynx and threw it away. Durability and suspension is what i keep my Lynx for. Instead of making hydraulic sus (that proven itself to work great) with greater travel suited for extreme jumps and off-road they just made some kingsong style crappy solution. I understand argument for flexability, though 99% of riders will just have this on max setting, having this bloated thing to maintain. 4. My general impressions - When i was riding it i got feeling that is just soft Lynx, nothing more, nothing less, totally overhyped. I rly see no utility in this wheel. Nice as a curio, but nothing more. And tbh it's a bit sad, my expectations for this wheel was high.
Once my apex comes in literally to the day im heading down. I have no problem letting you make a review on it. Some say there here already. Some say we wint see them until February .
Umm.... I ride the Patton. Would have nice for you to elaborate on the break after break opposed to just saying. No I don't stress test my wheel as I'm not supported by anyone else but me. But it has treated me with respect as I treat it. And I have the 50e cells. Not the s.
Oh boy. No trolley=no buy. Imagine... a flat tyre or battery Metro, down apartment stairs Steep trail with short unpassable section, shops, Dawn Champion going over a cliff again would have to leave it. Never ever buy version 1 of a wheel especially a new brand, the software will suck. Waterproof? Tubeless? You must be mental in the head to buy this, are you sure they have ridden one before, no trolley ffs, couldn't be arsed to design it/copy others i reckon. Totally thoughtless and as for spare parts, version 2 will follow soon, buy again and trust us. Startups huh!
Just riding an EUC and yapping, has to be my favorite style of videos, keep it up.
@@Ripperonis it’s my favorite as well, I look for videos all the time - 🤗it’s so relaxing
@@johnnygovroom Amen.
Hey Johnny, Rod Cruz here, loved your video as usual. It was super nice riding with you and Fred that day, thanks again!
Bro thank you so much- it was epic to have you and Fred up here to vibe and just chill-
Hopefully again soon!!!
Your amazing Johnny! I love your work and honesty. Euc’s have changed my life as well. Keep up your work and positivity.

We have units delivering same time as xway. You and Aaron need to come down for unboxing!
You would be cool with that!?!?!?!
The trolley handle and seat deficiency has already been resolved with the third-party kit. MOSFET made a video about it themselves.
I saw that- but it was a bold statement to make out of the gate and i was curious as to why-
But i did see that , and it seems pretty functional!
What did you think about it ???
