Get yourself some schwalbes
Thry have quite a few e50 rated puncture protected tyres at not much more expensive
Yee yee, good stuff
My battery has one of those "ignition" points to turn the key on what would otherwise be just to lock or unlock the battery and yesterday you got rained on pretty good, seem to be working fine however the "ignition" team stuck "on" (personally what I would have wanted but I did nothing to cause it purposely) should I be worried about actual damage?
There might be some corrosion in the mechanism. If you have powdered graphite on hand that's usually a good lube for locks.
It's handy and cheap so if you don't have any, order some up for next time. Also great for sticky door knobs and hinges and the like.
the key turns fine, it's just staying "on" even when I took the key out or even unlocked the battery (turn key further back)
Oh! Yeah that's weird.
Just two wires on the back of thing right? So you can confirm it's the switch in the lock.
Seems like it should be a pretty generic part or you should be able to replace it with a rocker switch or something.
It hold the battery in tho. May as well fix the root problem
I'm just guessing it's replaceable by something the same function just dropping the key part.
It's the battery though. No where to put a rocker switch easily.
May as well get new lock mechanism
The hole the barrel for the lock was in no?
That's needed
It holds the battery onto the bike
It's not just an ignition switch
Oh like it engages the bracket on the frame, I got you.
Otherwise the battery will disconnect from the hailong contacts every time a hard bump is hit.

The battery would bounce like-a-dis
🤔
Well uhm
Maybe not as dramatic
What if I want it to be that dramatic.
But it mounts onto a vertical rail behind the seat.
And the lock outputs a pin into a hole in the rail
Holding it secure from bouncing up the rail
I'm sure I could figure something out if I had it in hand.
The part or parts exist on Grainger.com if I could actually find them.
Urban Ryder bikes use this style of battery
after another ride it seemed to "correct" itself, then did the same... my main thought is "should I be concerned about this?" like would there be more serious issues possibly? I can always push the power button to turn it off since that works still, or leaving it idle for too long it powers down itself
Either way, it's a battery electrical problem. As of present, we don't know if its a fire risk or how much it's damaging the battery.
I'd have a new part ordered if I were you.
Please don't add powdered graphite to.. electrical things
its conductive.
@Finguine ^
That's why it goes in the mechanical bit.
But there's electronics right there in the battery...just bare through the keyhole.
And it would likely collect if someone were to use a ton. Good point @Black Moons
yea some are more blended switch and lock...

K fr though, u ok @Rad ?
@Black Moons @Funermen (Radrunner Expert)
Damn cheap hinge.
keep saying bikes shouldn't be cut in the middle..
E...
That's why I won't buy a folding bike

hope your OK if that was your bike Rad

bluetooth bike
Your hinge looks quite beefy though. I wouldn't worry about it. When the frame looks like those old steel bikes you know it's good
Ain’t my bike
That there is a rocket launcher my boy!

Ik ik, just showing ya how I ended up with a "bazooka"
@Black Moons you know me better than that
I'm crazy not stupid
@Rad lol good.

Hydro kit tore up these pads in just a few hundred miles
Don’t know how long I can expect brakes to last with a bike+passengers being 400lb
Ehh, more like 380lb
I feel like those pads might have just been too cheap, or maybe they got too hot.
either way, consider switching to semi-metallic or metallic pads (upgrade rotors to metallic compatable rotor if you do metallic, semi-metallic can be done on stock rotor IIRC)
I thought these were sintered metal pads, I just threw resin pads in to make it quieter, I’m anticipating having to mess with these a lot and trying other mounts so I can use the dishes washers for better alignment
Right now the top 1-2mm of the pad is above the rotor☠️
Letric has just discontinued the free hydro kit upgrade and has started the official recall of the brakes that were originally on here

lame at up to $100 to install mechanical
for $100 you could prob get some prebled M200's
or whatever shimanos bottom level is
I like how there is 0 picture of the faulty units so a 3rd party owner has NO CLUE if they have orginal or not
Yep just get the br-mt200 and 3 finger brake and hope for the best
anyone know if I can find this anywhere with faster shipping?

2 pin male connector specifically
hey guys. what happened to my 18650 🥺>?
cell was sitting for probably 2 years alongside a bunch of other, different variety 18650 cells (i pulled from laptop batteries).... most of which also had some minor degree of this corrosion/leakage. i do not know exactly what this is or exactly why it happens, could anyone tell me with certainty the specifics? 🥺
Looks like this one corroded itself to death, that's all. Probably wanna throw them all out.
Update: yeah i think I know what i did. I took like 50 old laptop cells, charged them to 4 v,, then let them sit for 2 years 💀 time to find a recycler
2 years vacation 💀
What's their current status?
@Rotated where did you store this in what environment.
By throw you mean recycle it
i wrapped each one individually in plastic wrap then put them in a ziploc
my bedroom :) i had them on my Industrial Shelf™️
they were in a little plastic drawer thing, lied on their sides, with plastic isolating the two rows from eachother
never seen corrosion form like this
yeah so
i was not as informed when i reclaimed those cells
some of them were below 3v when i reclaimed them
and charged them
I had the sense to charge them slowly, but i probably should not have used them at all
and then
when i stored them
