I know the answer is probably no but is this fixable
RIght outta the motor axle? Prob not without opening the motor and replacing the whole cable
If there is more room to work with.. maybe
So uh
I learned the other day not to mount your speed sensor on the same side of your frame as your chain.
u can if done right
im guessing chain slap on the chainstay ate the wire?
The magnet kept slapping my derailer every time it came around.
I also learned not to attempt to adjust your speed sensor while your back wheel is spinning.
As it turns out, your spokes *really* wanna eat your speed sensor.
Most people mount the speed sensor on the front wheel...
...that...would make sense
My front hub has an integrated speed sensor
@Deleted User Your front wheel also tends to lose traction less often, so gives a more accurate reading
It would make a lot more sense if it could also read the speed of the rear wheel to stop this traction loss non-sense.
*shrugs* I think some high end bikes (even gas ones) have traction control now
as well as ABS
(And anti-wheelie)
Do u uh...hear them?
hear them?

They're right on top of meh
oh, dunno.
I ignore all the roars as drag track is near by
O.O'
I believe some controllers have a abs feature if ur using a rear hub or middrive fixy
Youve asked this question before. Your answer was the grin video. You decide if that is fixable with your skills
Ahhh...yet front hubs would benefit the most from traction control...
i mean u can still do that with a front hub
no real difference

how
Bing boom bam
Which controller
dunno
asi most likely has that
prob nucular
its gonna be high end
K thank
Why do cranks scratch so easy
cause its a thin coat of paint?
that u smacked against im guessing a curb or similar?
Should be powder coated which is a bit stronger.
Outside foot down, inside foot up on turns.
That won't do nothing against a concrete curb or stairway. It's so much force against a tiny point...
That probably is powder coat if aluminum
Of course.
Even the military doesn't have paint that would survive that lol
Like, your not even removing paint when you do that, your removing the metal the paint was attached to
Chrome maybe?
Really you'd need something higher on the mohs scale than concrete.
Or...just accept defeat as we all have :Ꭰ
So, diamond based paint, gotcha

whatever this guys crank is made of
Cranks cost nothing, just replace it once it gets too beat up
They slam into shit all the time, I dont bother keeping mine pristine
When is that?
When you can afford it? Down to you really.
Id not lose sleep over it either way, so long as its not cracked
Alright, I'll keep grinding down my 9€ bafang cranks. Maybe they're still rideable when my pedals fall off
I usually only see cranks fail after decades of use
My ride side cranks are special cranks so I can't just replace em. Luckily I got spares
Ur mom's a special crank
Yeah, if u see her let her know she owes me blood iron

POV: oopsie
OOPS
Todays lesson: small oopsies may lead to big oopsies. Be careful and dont try to ride home if your drivetrain is unhappy
this will be me soon with my goofy stock chain :thonk: then i replace with SRAM PC EX1 (best value)
pop a quick link in there and off you go:think: :think: good as new
maybe LOL
Man wtf
Of course the chain would snag the derailleur cage and send it to tim-bak-tu
Reeeeeee
https://tenor.com/view/bonk-gif-26414884
Yeah, that would have instantly hooked onto your derailleur cage my dude
And then all your pedal force went straight into the derailleur
?Probably need a new hanger too?
🥹dont hurt me, I was like less than 1km from home
From the looks of it, someone popped the link off with a chain tool and then pushed it back in
Which is a bad idea because this will happen
motor force, actually. 250w is still enough torque to ruin your derailleur
It didnt do it instantly actually lol
No way. I havent touched it. My bike shop may have while shortening the chain tho
They wouldn't have
Unless there is no master link
Yea lol
Is there a master in that chain?
Used to have one but not on this chain
No quick linx
Just chain
Then you can accuse them of not putting a master link when they shortened the chain
That's a requirement for this type of drive chain.
Really?
Why?
Yeah
Because the chain will break
Sgasy
I told them id have liked one but why tf is it necessary? Is it like an intentional weak point? Ill ask for one on the next chain
