(see: everyone whose using a shitty PAS controller) |
My battery rated 40amp controller 30a continuous |
One of the things I managed to inherit |
Lucky. All I got was a framing square and a level. |
Do you think it would be safe to shunt mod my controller |
Would it add up too much amps for my battery, possibly? |
I don't think its safe to shunt mod any controller. |
Yeah true based on previous experiences with this set-up I'd say it's a no go |
On another note , I'm tired of my chain rusting, would a stainless steel chain help that problem, I've noticed my cassette rustic too , also not willing to put in the work of propor chain maintenance all the time |
Seeing as my bike is ridden in adverse weather conditions more than often (only method of transportation used daily in all seasons) |
if your chain n casette is rusting...could lubricate it more often... |
Stainless steel still rusts |
I had my frame for 10years I think |
Darn it |
All hope is lost |
Now you have to actually lube your chain |
like...at least wd40, or like white lithium spray |
No |
For both |
WD40 is a water dispersant not a lube |
I got wd40 but it gets too gunky |
And I have to clean the cassette a lot |
White lithium will literally gunk up anthing |
Vegetable oil? |
Lmao no |
Propor chain lube then |
Which I have never bought in my life |
Stainless steel is only going to be used on the side plates AFAIK and only stop cosmetic rusting |
Yes I think I read that somewhere |
Which sucks |
What about titanium chain |
You don't want stainless as a bearing material |
Dunno, id assume that is just for lightness and would still use steel |
rollers |
Go with belt drive and IGH if you want rust proof |
I heard they were also brittle so I'd have to use it on hub only |
Hmm , can you modify freewheel to belt drive |
(or belt drive and single speed.. or belt drive and front bottom bracket shifter) |
Is there a conversion kit |
Yes and no |
Belt drive can't do more then 1 speed by using multiple cogs like chain |
I'd be fine with a ss |
MOST belt drives, require a frame with a removable piece or a special geometry to even install a belt. |
ONE belt drive, is a spliced belt, but costs like $100+ a belt IIRC |
and can be used on regular frames.. |
Looks like I have some researching to do |
@mhatayas honestly id invest in a good chain cleaner/oiler, and maybe consider switching to something like motorcycle lube that comes in a giant can and is messy as shit. |
(sticky as hell and prevents rust/won't fling off) |
Also note there are 'dry' and 'wet' lubes. |
I'll probably end up doing that then |
But |
How am I gonna get rid of this rust that has caked onti my chain and freewheel |
Dry lubes are good for dry conditions. they dry and don't attract dirt and last a long time.. in dry conditions. but rain will wash them off. |
One of those steel brush chain cleaners? |
Any wire brush. then wipe it clean if need be |
Sweet sounds simpler than I thought |
or loosen it with a wire brush and use a damp nylon scrub brush to get it cleaner |
maybe some degreaser |
like simple green |
Honestly freewheels/etc don't last that long, and are only $20 for 6/7/8 speed |
so for the labor to keep it clean... I just ignore mine and replace em when they wear out. |
new ones = so shiny! |
I know , this one's only a month old and already rusted dramatically, but still holds its Integrity |
As for mid drives , I've had nothing but snapping and bending and wearing out |
Hence why I'm trying to figure out something*better* setup |
Btw: wet lubes, are designed for wet conditions, are sticky/non drying and tend to attract dust. making your chain *filthy* but not rusty. |
I ride on crushed stone and gravel paths in summer time, very dusty |
So I'll get both wet and dry lubes |
(idea being you clean the chain more often and reapply it) |
Dust has caused me some problems too |
With wear |
Also motorcycle chain products seem to work just fine on bicycle chain, and are generally sold in *much* bigger containers for the same price. |
Also I'm never buying a Luna mini chainring again . Teeth keep cracking on me |
(like, a 500ml spray can vs a 80ml eyedropper bottle) |
(both $15) |
My cousin had some motorcycle lube this summer he used it on my dusty chain |
It held up good for a a nice few days |
But dust was my enemy during that time |
they make these things too |
I was gonna get one of those |
Aka: how to clean your chain without having to clean yourself right afterwards. |
Dunno how well they work. |
But ended up spending funds on something else bike related |
My friend had one for his fixie apparently worked great |
yea I think the idea is sound |
Think I can replace that capacitor in my bbshd controller tho? |
I don't know if it's practical to get all that grey gunk outta there to replace it or just get new controller |
Not sure what the grey gunk is either |
Feels silicony or rubbery |
I have all the other parts I need coming but forgot about that darn capacitor blown ü•¥ |
Wow these things are cool inside lol |
Wow |
Must get every nook and cranny |
yea I didn't expect it to actually drive gears off the chain |
For the price, I'm picking one up |
yea now I want one just to play with. |
weee adult toys. |
Hehehe |
speaking of, iv seen nylon brushes and stuff for drills for like, cleaning the sink. Im like 'thats stupid. I mean I want one. but its still stupid...' |
I got one of these for my bbshd |
