Assuming you all have similar experiences to me, people sometimes are really interested in my board and want to talk about it. The conversations normally all go in a similar way. How fast does it go? How much does it cost? Have you ever wiped out? Is it electric? Despite the conversations all kind of going the same I always try to stick around if I have time and chat enthusiastically with them because they are filled with the same childlike wonder over seeing it as I am over riding it and I never want to leave them with an impression that I'm a jerk. I don't want any sort of backlash or complaint to be raised because of me that would lead to riding being restricted or become more dangerous than it already is. I've never been threatened or had people try to jokingly imply they would mug me. The encounters are always joyful unless it's a person blaming me for them trying to run a stop sign into me.

That being said, one of my most unusual conversations started very normally outside a coffee shop, but after the first question the guy suddenly broke out into a nose bleed and had to go inside to try and deal with it. First time that's ever happened.

Managed the dissemble pretty well and cracking the tire off with some quick clamps. Getting the new tire on took some time figuring out how to get the edges together and into the groove on the hub. Then my foot sensor wouldn't work. After some desperate googling, I found a comment 6 years ago on this subreddit that I probably swapped two of the connectors putting it back together because they're identical and color coded for idiots. Once I swapped those, it was working great again. Was a little nervous inflating it and getting the beads to pop, I didn't know if it was going to jump or bounce or anything. Inflated it to 50 psi before the second bead popped, then let a bunch of air out. Thanks for the advice everyone gave two weeks ago about the tire size. I got the GOAT tire from flight fins because, honestly, because it was one of the only XR tires available that wasn't a soft tire from flightfins or floatlife.

I'm in need of a new tire on my XR+ and my local store that sells equipment only carries GT tires and Pint tires. Does a GT tire fit on an XR+ board or do I need to order a specific one in from elsewhere?
