No, I'm not going to call these "Rim Jobs" so quit asking!
If you're a fan of TFL, you know we ride our boards tough and tend to break the hell out of em'! Well, after countless shattered rims, we finally decided to do something about it. Life Savers are poured from the same material as our Kush line of footpads, so you know they can take a hit and bounce back. They take a beating so your hub doesn't have to. $29 for protection, or $550 for replacement, the choice is yours. TFL LifeSavers give your rim (and your wallet) a fighting chance. Don't settle for low quality 3d printed knockoffs, get the original and best Onewheel™ rim protection right here.

-o- If you're having trouble installing Float Life Savers, heat them up a bit with a heat gun/blow dryer/oven and that will make them a touch stretchier -o-

Glow in the day is more like it. These guys pop when the sun hits them leaving a soft green glow in almost any daylight setting for those who were curious about the intesity of the glow.
Duration of glow after no light is interacting with them is very reasonable for the price point and dosnt feel like it goes away too fast.
Plus I can practice drops and 180s with piece of mind.
Okay I'm just being honest with myself right now... Will I ever be riding hard enough for the Life Savers to do anything? No... no I will not. HOWEVER... they look very cool and they help tie in the color of the Kush footpad on my board. And hey... a little peace of mind never hurt anyone :)
I ordered the wrong item and their customer service was amazing and shipped out the correct item.
This was extremely nice and I really am impressed with their C.S. which is why I buy from here for my projects!
The Float Life Savers look like they'll provide pretty good protection. Installed them on my Pint X right away. Wish there was some instruction on the need to remove the side handle though. Went for my first ride tonight and the handle rubs and vibrates on the Life Savers. I'll have to pull the wheel again to take it off.
Boiled them for 10 minutes and they were reasonable to put on. Not easy by any means, but reasonable. They'd be impossible without heat.
leave them in boiling water for 10 minutes, and it will still be hard to install, but once in, they are nice just dreading the time I will have to replace the tire :). too bad colors are not in stock

Originally received the wrong part (ordered during Black Friday event). Dropped the board off to have installed and found out they wouldn’t fit. Brandon took it upon himself to send out another set free of charge with another order I made. I couldn’t be happier with the customer service and look of the part installed. TFL will be the go to for all 7 of my boards moving forward. Thanks again TFL crew.
Let me first say that the protection that this thing gives is definitely worth it along with the personality it gives the board. The bad is that these lifesavers are STIFF! All my strength and rage that I could summon from all the pain from the past 31 years wasn't enough. I highly recommend boiling them in water at least a minute and a half each because it helps considerably. Even when you boil them though it's still requires a lot to get them on. They're on and it's done I hope to never take them off.
Hi guys. Amazing product as you already know. Super fast postage to 'down under' 🤣🦘
Massive thanks to Jeff for the YouTube video on changing the tyre. Made the task easy and swift.
Only 1 suggestion....you could suggestively sell the tool kit for the boards at each purchase?! I had a little trouble getting a hold of a TP45 bit (in Australia), I saw later that you had the tool kit and would have for sure bought that at the time of tyre purchase.
This is a top necessary addition to protect your rims! I’ve installed 3 sets now. 2 pints and a GT. Both went on without any issues! I would not have a board without rim savers! Float on!

Love a good Rim Job!
Grwat products every time.
Look great, adds some color...but the main benefit is piece of mind from damaging my rim. The first one was a pain to get on, but with heat and determination, the 2nd went on easier......will definitely buy again for future boards or tire changes depending on how they hold up
Very fast delivery! I appreciate all, who had anything to do with it.Great product guality, the color is perfect, I'm applying them to a Antic for protection to rim&motor mostly for looks unique &cool
These are great rim protection. Some folks apparently aren't watching the TFL vids about installation. Heating them up does help. I live in Arizona and I learned that it's a bit easier to put on a new tire after it's been in the heat for a bit. BUT--really it's about FINESSE.
Get this in your heads, my dudes. Repairing and modding oneys is about more than tools and brute force. Watch and learn from Jeff. He's a Master. Thanks to his tutelage, I got to the point I could switch a tire and install a float saver in 18 minutes... No lie. And my dubes, I have arthritis/tendonitis.
You can do it, just use finesse. Take your time. Work it over slowly.
Big-ups to my dudes for the free swag. I mean I got it on sale. Totally feel like it's my birthday hahaha
Although I watched the installation tutorial video, I couldn't install it with my bare hands in the end. Even after soaking it in boiling water, it still wouldn't fit properly. Eventually, I had to cut it open to put it on. Despite all this, I still really love the product—I just wish it were easier to install!
I turned 60 this year and picked up a Onewheel GT as a gift for myself. Wasn’t sure if i’d use it. Now I’m grinning like a school kid as I carve up the asphalt in the Central Park Loop. Thanks, float life, for helping me find this source of Stoke!
Soaked them in boiling water for 10 minites and used the TFL tire levers to help adjust them after stretching them over the rim with my hands. Had them on in a few minutes. Easy peasy for a little extra protection.
Float Life Savers | Rim/Hub Protection
After noticing multiple significant impacts to my stock GTS hub I decided I needed to get some protection before I shattered my wheel. I struggled for a while to install them until I submerged them in almost boiling water for 10 minutes and used a small tire iron I use on motorcycle tires. All said and done I’d say the piece of mind knowing my wheel isn’t going to be shattered on a trail far from home or my ride home was well worth the effort.
I’m running the future motion performance treaded tire with no issues other then the bead being a little tricky to set.
These look like they will give great protection. Jeff made installation look easy, but I had to boil them to get them on. The description notes that they are not compatible with maghandle. I went ahead and reinstalled my maghandle on my Pint X with a thin shim on the stop, and it fit fine for me with no rubbing. I did have to install the maghandle after fitting the fender delete over the tire, which required an extra long torx.
I love the retro 64 purple I tried a few different ways to soften the ring the microwave was the best way 👌 but I accidentally melted one of the rings so I need to get a new one for the one side it's on and works it just has a scar lol
I’ve bought float life products for the last 6 years and they never disappoint. I have yet to instal my life savors, but they look and feel high quality as always. Every add on I’ve bout from float life has been amazing quality and always ships and arrives fast. I appreciate your whole team!
Well worth the investment.
Watched Jeff install these no problem, and felt quite weak when I had to boil them to get them on other than that, not too bad. I like trail riding, and I’m sure these will save my rims.
Way worth it
Boiled them in water for 10 mins first. Went onto the XR hub like butter. 👍👍
The rim jobs protect my hub from damage.
They fit better as far as ease to put them on than the non BLEM I have purchased in the past, or maybe Im just getting the hang of it by now 😀! Either way , they look just a good .
