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
|
üëç
|
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.
