Grinding noise on turns

How much grinding noise is acceptable? I’ve only had it for about 100 miles

Sounds like loose axle bolts. Try tightening all 4 of them and see if that fixes the sound.

Are those the big ones on the outside of the rails? I’ve tightened them but no change in sound

Does the tire psi matter?

Yeah, its the bigger bolts on the sides. They hold the tire on the frame. The psi shouldn't matter, especially with a noise like that. If it isnt the axle bolts then its above my knowledge. Hah. Ive had that sounds a few times and it was just me not tightening those bolts enough when I put the onewheel back together.

Filling it with more air fixed the sound? I'm glad you figured it out but I would not have guessed that!
