Nice. |
Seeing as my chain used to get caught and wrap around my chainring |
It solved that problem |
YES that lol. ever time id back up my bike I had that shit happen until I switched to narrow-wide front sprocket (cyclone 3KW) |
(well, back it up in 1st gear anyhow, cause bad chainline) |
For me it was last gear and chain being flappy |
I kinda wish I woulda got a cyclone and 72v battery instead of another bbshd |
But I guess it helps to have a spare motor too |
Just power hungry. If I could afford the 18kw cyclone and a good frame etc I would definitely do so LoL |
I've hauled lots of stuff on trailers with my bbshd just fine tho . It was always the sprockets that failed |
that sucks. Don't know many other people who have reported sprocket failure |
Usally its the fact that it just chews through rear cassettes/chains that is the issue |
like every 1000 miles for BBSHD |
every 300~500 for cyclone (used at full throttle all the time lol) |
That exact problem (chain wrapping) is what caused my current bbshd motor problem , the 6 clunks during one revolution, which later gave out completely, hoping it's nylon gear not pinion |
Brought up solid while motor was still running |
Chain wrapping? |
Like getting stuck on the front sprocket? |
Yes |
Weird! |
iv only seen that if the front sprocket gets nasty burrs on it |
Especially with Luna mini |
Guessing because it's so small and teeth so deep |
And my gear was so low , chain so flappy |
Destroyed like 3 derailleurs that way too lol |
And a hangar |
Prob need to shorten your chain then |
you do know the standard chain size they sell, is over sized for most bikes? |
I did that too but cassette range didn't account for it |
k |
No I didn't |
Yea. Its oversized so it can be shortened to fit most bikes. Its rare that a bike requires the entire chain |
I always did actually shorten my chains |
(and often too long to use the entire chain on most bikes) |
Using my previous shortened chain as a guide |
Ah |
So now it makes sense |
Well, Might wanna check out the park tools video on chain lengths |
I'll do that |
Not too tight in granny yet not too loose in lowest |
you'll want to check your chain length any time you upgrade to a smaller/larger rear cassette 1st gear, or smaller/larger front sprocket |
Basically yea. You want to just have about an inch or two of slack in the granny gear so it can still shift in/out of it without going 'taught' |
(if it ever gets 'too' short... very, very bad things happen) |
Rock and a hard place kinda bad. |
I've noticed though , sometimes it's hard to combat the looseness with such small sprockets sometimes |
You may also need a bigger derailer for large range cassettes |
But that little chain tensioner accessorie I linked above helped tremendously in that case |
Yes true |
Derailleurs I've had so much problems with this past year too |
Mainly due to lack of knowledge/laziness I'm maintenance |
Try not going for the cheapest one. My bike shop turned me onto one with big beefy cogs. it served me well |
I've been considered modifying my sprockets and doing a manual switch of gears when needed |
(bigger sprockets on the derailer also means lower RPM on them, good at e-bikes speeds) |
A narrow wide chainring solves that |
What exactly is a narrow wise chainring |
Wide* |
Quite contradictory sounding |
Ahhhhhh |
I'll be ordering one of those too |
It centers your chain WAY more accurately |
The neverending lost of bike parts! |
downside: can't be used on bikes with more then 1 front speed |
Because it refuses to let go of chain |
Upside: it refuses to let go of chain. |
I never needed another chainring than 1 anyways |
My chain used to fall off my front sprocket a lot before I went narrow/wide, especially when id back the bike up |
40kmph was enough |
Good to know I'm getting one for sure now |
❤️ kmph, always makes my brain go "is this person confused!!?... no wait.. its me" |
üòÖ |
I still don't know propor conversions |
I always parse it as 'kilomile per hour' |
Also celsius Fahrenheit |
kmph is fine |
Km/h |
I think is right |
its just more common kph or km/h |
since mph is miles per hour |
LoL |
I want to push my bbshd to its limits for fun , so far I've towed 8 logs on a trailer (roughly 450 lbs) up a 45 degree incline (was just waiting for my cassette sprocket to bust lol ) luckily it didn't |
lol |
But that's why I've been thinking of a beefier manually switched sprocket system |
I've also seen these sprockets for gas motor conversion kits , ones that actually attach to the freewheel/cassette side ( knowing of course you'd have to somehow get a chainring to match for the front |
Of course the teeth count are in the 40s and 50s (which would be in my favour for towing large loads uphill) |
BMX chain alone will last like 5~10x as long as 7+ speed chain |
Its the poor alignment, and the fact the chain has to be made loose enough to survive bending while shifting, that makes multispeed chain die so quickly |
Makes sense |
Just bend a BMX chain side to side vs a 7 speed and you'll see what I mean.. BMX chain is very stiff, 7 speed you can flex back and forth like a snake |
BMX rear sprocket but with many more teeth than usuall |
Is what would work well for me |
2 gears only would be ideal |
Manually switched |
40-45t , and 11-13t , only problem I fave now is chain length ü•¥ |
Ahh well I'll worry about it tomorrow! I'm going to bed . Goodnight! |
Cya |

I have a cyclone after I blew up my bbshd, I'd rather have gotten a lightning rod small block tbh. |
