Drop Top Fender Kit (GT/GT-S)

If you’re wondering should I, just go ahead and do it. This is so smooth, clicks in and off you go. Plus you get a nice sling pack for when you want to ride with the top down.

I got this because Onewheel could not fulfill a full send package in time for the GT-S. Thanks for patching my kit! Easy on and off my re-curve setup.

It’s a nice fender, for being made by people who don’t ride with fenders that much. I’ve had this fender for about a year and have really put it through its paces. As concisely as I can put it, here are my main takeaways:

1. It’s very strong, I don’t see this ever breaking from regular or even hardcore onewheel use. Getting run over by a car however probably not, but if your board is getting run over I wouldn’t be worried about the fender😆

2. I give it a 7/10 on keeping water on the bottom side of the board. It doesn’t leak onto the footpad at all like the C&R magnetic fender does which is great, buuuuuut it’s too skinny over the top and if you’re going through some REAL wetness with any speed, you’re gonna get a little, SOME water slung onto your front leg and toe. It flings the water forward instead of down like other fenders. If this matters to you at all, I think it’s good to know. 🤷‍♂️

3. It fits with half & half axle blocks!! As in this is one of the only full fenders you can have with any rails or a half-inch drop on stock rails! Lots of extra clearance 🤩

4. Only thing I DON’T like: it’s super loud. Yes it makes the expected noises when rocks and gravel are thrown under it, BUT it also vibrates super loudly when slowing down down a hill. Like, 2X louder than haptic buzz. It’s because it’s friction fit, and a certain frequency from the regen noise your motor makes resonates with the fender and makes it vibrate, a ton. It’s annoying, but if you don’t ride with a fender that much anyway and you like everything else about the fender, this is absolutely not a dealbreaker imo. It’s just especially noisy, that’s the only problem with the fender. :/

Works good with the Homebrew Dub Trail rails.

This is hands down one of the greatest innovations that the Float life has pushed forward. It’s such a simple design, but it solves the issue of dirt buildup, obstruction buildup, and even repairability. I’m not one to ride around without a fender, but it’s cool if you want to show off the tire, you just pop it off. Now then, that’s where it also shows its flaw. If you do indeed like to pull off tricks on your onewheel like I occasionally do, I would highly recommend you take off the drop top fender because it can easily get popped off and caught and wedged inside the tire/frame. Other than that, it is an excellent accessory. I couldn’t be more impressed with the float life and what they’ve done to advance this great piece of machinery. Can’t wait to see what they do next.
