lol mine did |
no matter what power |
Wait, yeah, mine did as well when just pedaling.... |
Had front chainring jumping as well... |
HOW |
that was a pain |
Abused chainring |
Teeth were sharp af |
like super fucking sharp |
Dude, thats what set off the chain of events that lead to my derailleur being destroyed today. Chain started dropping because of my shitty chain guide, a link got bent and ig it got caught in the detailleur |
If that happened to my deore |
Id cry |
IT WAS MY DEORE |
o |
I THINK??? |
It was bent slightly already, I think |
Oh |
that wont have helped lol |
Does this say deore to you |
yea |
I miss the deore meme |
Pretty sure it was a command here |
*sad times* |
What? üò® |
What was the meme and command? Please enlighten me. |
Thats the one XD |
I don't actually need as much range as I currently have, the lowest like 4 gears are low enough that I should never shift down to them cause otherwise I become an almost stationary object for a while |
wtf why |
You shouldnt let your motor use those gears lol |
I have the bike for like a week now, still getting used to not using the entire range of gears when starting from zero |
What's the range on your cassette and the tooth count on the chainring? |

Looks like about 11-51 |
Larger chainring should give you a decently useable ration on the biggest sprocket. |
I climb the steep hills with a 36t chainring on a 51t sprocket on my acoustic. So like a 46t chainring should give you somethign decent with a motor. |
0.71 with my 36t, 0.90 with a 46t chainring. |
stolen |
Pinned a message. |
That's what you get for buying all fancy parts then cheaping out on the forks and dropouts |
He just didn’t had a torque arm. |
No torque arms prob |
^^ no torque arm, and fork on backwards(?) |
though is handlebars are twisted 90 degrees so hard to tell |
Look at the motor cable, he put his fork correctly. |
Ah, it just spun around violently as it ripped out, lol |
I can only imagine the crashes from having your front wheel yeet itself outta the dropouts are amazing |
I had it happen once, got my first bike with QR, took wheel off to put in car, when I got it home I put it on and didnt tighten it near enough, did a wheelie and to my horror the wheel came out mid air |
I thought they had lips on it to prevent that happening even when idiots dont tighten them fully, but I probably didn't tighten it at all, I was a kid back then |
At high speed that must be horrifying, cruising at 50km/h and suddenly your wheel just leaves |
Some do have lips, but yea they can only hold on for so long üòõ the lips also make it hard/impossible(?) to install a regular threaded axle |
so not all have them |
Good news! its held on by a cable.. no wait nm the motor just kept spining and cut that too. carry on |
If it happens you have about 1 second to learn how to ride an EUC |
hahahah |
basically. |
Bonus points: Not using a torque arm usally results in: destruction of the dropouts, motor wiring and potentially the controller too. so if its a rear wheel, you can basically write off the entire bike. |
Will be left with a battery, 'Only crashed once!' you can say on the sales page.. |
Always remember the torque arm people! |

"Torque arm? I bought the QS205 2T, it has the lowest torque, I don't need one" |
Sounds legit. |
That bike is not fancy at all lol, look closely at the image |
Think he just fell and his bars were loose so they shifted |
Those brakes and rotors are pretty fancy |
Doing wheelies as a kid? Awesome |
I could never hold them for more than a few seconds, always afraid I'd go too far and fall back on my head |
I did near enough the same thing when I was a kid. |
Hmm how tf did I ride 20km that one day without a torque arm on my TK30??? seems like an impossible thing to do now |
@Deleted User sometimes it works out.. sometimes it fails the first ride. |
best not to chance it |
@Black Moons today I saw an insane chain. Wish I took a pic. |
A shimano x11 road chain a fellow rode-in with. |
2 links had broken on him already that day |
On 1 side of the chain, I counted 12 cracks in the plates. |
Just barely at the 0.5 wear mark |
Most cracked low-mileage chain i have ever seen. And I've only ever seen a tiny handful of cracked chains up to this point. |
How about this one: |
Cracked/shattered rollers, and quite a number of partially seized links |
Normally chain doesn't.. stand up like that üòõ |
Bad spacers, woe. |
In the case today I had, it was the outer plates that were cracking. |
Wow |
Something must have gone quite wrong in the manufacturing of that one. |
goddamn overachieving woodchip |
Tire looks reasonably worn anyway it just wanted to remind you to replace it üòõ |
enh, tire's only got 800 miles on it. It didn't have very deep tread to begin with. |
LOL, I feel your pain. When a fucking wooden stick that shouldnt even get stuck in your tire somehow still does it. |
When I was pulling it out, I was impressed by how far it had managed to shove itself in there. It was a full inch or more into the tire. |
Cheapy tire. |
sure, cheapy bike. |
(They're Kenda Kontact tires) |
Welp |
