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.

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
