I would suggest getting a new shielding
Yea, a new cable housing for mechanical always makes them feel so nice and new
Doesnt take them long to go bad it seems
Hydraulic
replace it right now
Lol
before you ride it
lol
I hear ya Loud and clear
Is the whole system done or could I just swap the cable
I can shout louder if you want
Lol
just swap the hose
rest is fine
Is that a part that is available?
Like do the sell them at bike shops
hose?
yeah
you can get it on amazon
but you need to get your brakes bled
@ethan_stark the bigger issue is the genuine hose kits may cost more then an entire brake system, especially after bleeding, if you currently have shit tier hydraulic brakes
like, it may be $50 for a hose kit + $10~20 to bleed it, vs $30 for a new hydraulic brake lever+hose+caliper, pre-bled

Like check your bike, if its already a MT200 or something shit like that....
theres hardly any point in replacing the hose when you can get an entire kit for the same price üòõ
now if you have like, $100 brake calipers or levers or someshit, yea replace the hose.
Yeah it’s a cheapo I think
(at least, IIRC it was around $50CAD for a genuine shimano hose kit when I looked.. Lots of knockoff hose kits for $10~20 but im not 100% sure if I want to use knockoff brake hose..)
Cable feels less responsive than hydraulic imo
Yes
Because cables stretch
Fluids don't compresses
Yeah and that snappy feeling is worth 40 extra dollars to me for some reason lol
they are better brakes anyway
so it is totally worth it
I like to drift so it’s the right kind of brakes for me
*ebike drifting*
Have you done it?
I can only do good drifts on packed snow
I have done it
lots of fun but scary
Yeah
Bald tires

and keep your spoke on the ice?

Yesssssws red green
Lol I heard that before who says that ave?
Wait do dork disks actually do something?
yes, they protect your spokes if your chain falls off
Huh why do some bikes come from bike shop without it
Just cause it looks bad?
because they are only really needed on cheaper shifters that don't work properly
walmart for example
Lol
Here in Australia there is some silly legal requirement that bikes be fitted with spoke protectors
That’s terrible
No one really enforces it
I would make a really cool looking rgb spoke protector
Yeah that makes sense
People associate the spoke protector with crap bikes since they rattle
Do shops sell bikes without it?
The big chain stores making big orders from like
Giant, merida etc have enough sway to get the factories to fit it
The less popular brands just sell the bike as is without it
Interesting
Funny they are called dork discs
It's not just cheap bikes that can find use for them, though that is the most common segment that runs into the kind of issues that the spoke protector helps with.
It's there for if/when you have the derailleur's low limit screw set incorrectly (or the derailleur gets bent without you noticing), allowing you to accidentally shift into the spokes. It's an expensive mistake to make.
That said, most modern spoke protectors are rattly plastic garbage, which is why it's so popular to remove them.
Having a spoke protector on is like -50 street cred
My hub motor is my spoke protector. :P
Winning
Who needs granny gears on an ebike anyway
Did someone say *granny gears?*
Granted, yes, I don't have use for them at the moment. lol
But they were nice when I used to ride out in the Arizona mountains.
hehe
this thingy
I have some *granny gears*
they are amazing for hill climbing
I prefer to strengthen my legs by sprinting my bike up steep hills than to pay money for granny gears
welp that depends on the hills you go up, the ones in poland are hard to go up even with granny gears
just get smaller hills
There is this one hill I ride that is so steep that I am really surprised they paved a path on it
Fat people have trouble walking it
@Black Moons they say I modified the battery..
What a bunch of scammers.
oof
@larossmann $5000 is still more then iv ever heard of any chinese company offering so...
That's including $3600 I paid for the batteries
So that's $1400
didn't you already do a chargeback on the batterie? lol
But yea, I think the 'modified' line is just to muddy the waters and so you can't claim the battery just exploded for no reason. that and chinese love to deflect blame/etc.
the $5000 (and the fact nearly all their 72v batteries have been pulled from their store) kinda indicates they accept blame -_-
Agree
> the $5000 (and the fact nearly all their 72v batteries have been pulled from their store) kinda indicates they accept blame -_-
@Black Moons Totally
I know they are going to regret it afterwards, they're the ones that said they would work it out with me, it's not like I threatened to post a video. I posted a video the same night on my girlfriend's channel with 2,000 subscribers and they lost their s***
When I post this video to a channel with over 1 million subscribers, they are going to lose their mind. But I don't care. They offered me $1,400. I'm not counting the refunds on the three batteries as part of the compensation, because that is implied.
