that prevents bearings from getting worn out, if done regularly, before they ever wear out |
Well yeah, didn't mean that's an option at this point heh |
Funny enough I have my old tube here as well, looks like the old one popped in the exact same location this new one did |
Right on the seam |
Seams are weakness |
Seems like it |
I'm going to take it into a shop and get them to put a tube in, at least I'll know it's being done right and good quality |
So yeah warning to anyone who buys a Zip, be super gentle with those tubes or get em replaced as soon as possible |
Wtfff |
Ree I forgot quality could be an issue |
Evo, 49N, Bontrager, are quality |
Yeah I think that's the case here, shit failed like it was wet cardboard |
Was the stock tube straight from the manufacturer, glad I know not to trust em, also hiked up their prices a shit ton so that's highway robbery |
Will write those brands down |
The Evo Enduro tube is a thicker tube than usual. 49N sells the cheap standard tube. |
Same with Bontrager, cheap standard tube. |
But quality still |
Bontrager self-sealing tubes seal small holes automatically. |
Damn, Bontager doesn't have 20x4 |
Lots of these guys don't XwX |
Tell ya what |
Get some 20 x 4 from somewhere |
Must have removable cores!!! |
Then, buy the following: |
Ohh, that’s for making it tubeless right? |
U need a tubeless rim as. Well don't forget |
It's a rear hub motor :/ |
Wanna know what it was? |
The tire wasn't inflated to a high enough PSI so when the motor torqued up it pulled hard on the tube and caused it to rip |
That's 100% what happened to the stock tire as well |
It was not as tight as it shoulda been |
Got the lug on there boss! |
Hmm, not the headlight stopped working, tbh I plan on replacing it with a better one so I'm not too worried |
So I was debugging my grin controller and this happened |
I think something popped lol |
lol. opps. |
Might wanna e-mail grin about that. |
Prob send you a new cable. |
@THiicc in the head ^ |
I have not had luck with grin support üòÖ |
I’m honestly done with this controller |
It’s good for what it is but oh my god is it so finicky |
üòÄ üè¶üí∏ |
Yeah I just broke down and bought a awd set up |
Dual 2000watt pre programmed controllers |
Fuck grin dude |
Nothing but problems |
Grins response: |
What controller is it ? Might buy it off you |
it's a baserunner z9 |
Oh nvm |
whats wrong with a baserunner? |
Nothing |
But I don't use those kinds battery anymore |
I use bigger 30ah ones |
sorry? |
I'm not sure what battery size has to do with the controller? |
do you mean that you need more voltage |
@THiicc in the head isn't baserunner meant to go underneath one of those hailong/shark packs ??? |
It is designed to do that yea |
But it fit perfectly in my e-bikes old controller pocket |
Which you cannot possibly fit 52v 30ah in one of those cases |
You can use it that way yes |
You can mount it wherever you want |
It’s got mounts |
But id rather just get a phase runner at that point |
If grins prices weren't so much id get one now |
They’re nice when they work |
Hence why I got a 25$ china troller |
Yeah mine is throwing a code and blowing up my trrs |
Which is annoying |
Not good |
Get on Justin for that one |
“Board is fine” this is the board they sent back a month ago |
I had to manually run 5v through the trrs to get it to work |
It wouldn’t provide 5v to anything unless I did |
It works fine if you run 5v through the trrs |
But I’m guessing their connector isn’t designed to handle sustained current or something |
That or something else failed |
Anyways I’m done dealing with them |
2am here and I ain't as hardcore as @sgasgyxdd was gonna go to sleeping now , night @@thiic |

I once saw an image that depicted bearing wear like this. Specifically, in the case of the bearings in the steerer. You know how on some bikes the bars have a notch in the middle where they like to settle? Thats what I mean. I saw an image illustrating rly well how the bearings wear a big dimple on the center of the race and two smaller ones, equal angles from it to the side of the middle one. Ive been unable to find this image ever since and I dont remember where I saw it. The image has a bearing that's smaller but the angle is about right |
Usually u get either track wear and ball wear. Track wear a groove is worn into the track where the balls roll. This leads to smooth rolling but wobble and play. Ball wear is when the balls don't roll smoothly and start to wear on one or more sides unevenly causing a flat spot on them.this leads to a notched or clicking feeling. |
Yeah, and since the bars usually only rotate like 90 degrees max and mostly just in the center, the balls on bike steerers wear the same spots often? |
The last is indents on the tracks due to twisting perpendicular to the track rotation. Ball bearings like the one u showed are good for load to the bearing 90 degrees to the rotation of it. In ur image it be up down etc. Once u add forces at an angle (say a bike headset) they can more easily dent and have other issues. This is why tapered bearings are better but they not only cost more but tend to be larger. |

I've seen tons of bearings worn out yee, this is accurate. |
Usually it's down to bad preload |
Cones in axles wear out on the side facing down |
And ppl not keeping an eye on it as the ride |
Grease that has gone completely black is bad grease. Stuff goes acidic and typically will see the bearing die soon unless fresh grease is put in. |
The additives in fresh grease also do wonders in extending bearing life. Zinc, calcium, etc, protect the surface of the metal. |

@Jimbo what u wanna say, potato!?!?! |
i was just going to comment on good bones |
bones also need calcium |
Heh, it's actually for this reason. Calcium is hard stuff |
The car motor with the highest mileage in the world was found to have calcium lining all the metal from the Castrol oil. |
