and moist
and cheap rubber
bought used so can't say for sure but they've been sitting
Yeah, they've been sitting in the sun for a long time, I can tell üòÇ
tires are 8 dollars a piece so i could upgrade but new lookin tires will make the bike more attractive to steal
might've been sitting outside as theres a bunch of surface rust, the paint isn't that faded tho
unlike my other bike which i just recently discovered was actually dark blue not almost white üòÇ
Where can you get tires for 8 dollars each?!!
action bigbox store. Dont care if its trash it's 8 dollars
don't think they're in the US
Oh, you're in Europe. Europe has a very different bike tire market vs North America.
Hint: tires in Europe are usually much cheaper vs the US. üôÇ
Cheap tires vs 25km/h top assisted speed ü§î
I'll choose the cheap tires :think:
bikes are more common here even though my EU country is quite car based, so with economy of scale prices are low
$32 might seem low but when you only earn $45 per day yeah that's why the price makes sense
(counting 2 bikes new tires)
our cheap tires are like 20 dollars lol
I choose bell and goodyears on the cheap-end
oh yeah those are no name brand BUT actually have puncture protection for that price as well
which is funny
bell and goodyear are both big brands here
they just usually focus on higher-end or other sectors.
so their cheap stuff gets sent to Walmart and Target.
Yeah, because the tires are so thick üòÇ
On that topic, I got a good ebike seat a few weeks ago from Bell, and it was so good.
but yeah I've got a 20" knobby bmx tire from goodyear just sitting downstairs idk what to do with
It has a pressure relief channel, good foam, and elastomer springs.
It made everything more comfortable with heavy riding.
Ironically, without any gear, it didn't really change anything üòÇ
this sucker?
nono i meant the $8 ones goodyear isn't really noname
No actually. It's a 2022 model Comfort 1025 seat.
i'll replace on failure, tho in winter they probably don't carry stock of the bike stuff
lord that is a fat seat
Yes, but it was so worth it when going grocery shopping.
I already have a seat kinda like that
but from Giant
My bike is really heavy when mega grocery shopping happens(backpack, rear rack and front rack), so having some form of saddle suspension is 🦸‍♂️
I have both springs and a suspension seatpost
I wouldnt use it in the winter lol
seat sags, so it's mildly annoying to try to mount while staying in optimal position
wtf? how much did you pay?
ehh it's got a lot of tread, it should be fiiiiiiine
if it snows as much as here then yeah it'll be fine for mid-winter
per beater? $11
too bad that's literally the purpose of those bikes to get me to uni from the train station in winter
ill just add kiddie wheels so i can stay up
lmfao, that's a really good idea for ice actually
I have this guy coming after measuring my sit bones: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0813T32K7?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1&psc=1****
This pic labeled would be really nice...
yes but thats all i have found
and some 3d explosion draw where every part sits were also very nice^^ but i dont have
So my bosch cargo bike motor died after 20k km, i checked the display cable, I checked the battery to motor cable, both seem to work fine on all wires. Still not a sign of life or communication between motor and battery/display as the battery soc isn't correctly being displayed
Is there anything to check inside of the motor that could be replaced?
Does the crankset main axle have play?
Like, the bottom bracket?
They tend to develop play at around that mileage, and them the play opens the seals up and kills the mechanicals.
Side to side there is minimal play
No doesn't feel like abnormal play
That side to side play shouldn't exist. Please be advised. Bosch motor bearing seals don't do their primary job of preventing water, dust and debris from entering the motor mechanicals if there is any play as you demo'd.
My advise is to have a full tear-down and service performed by a bike shop at this time. Which sounds about fair for it having 20k km
And I mean like, literally the seals you can see from the exterior go *directly* into all the mechanicals
I can find used 1-3k km motors for around 2-300€ here locally
That's probably more affordable then a rebuild of my motor that definitely has some electrical damage
@Deleted User what do you think between those options
You cannot work on this unless you have registered Bosch software, which only bicycle shops have.
A bicycle shop will easily be able to diagnose the electronic problem and service the system.
Attempting to work on it yourself will lock you out of your ebike.
My DD hub motor makes a high pitch sound at a certain rpm range. It happens during throttle acceleration. Is it fried?
Did it make that sound before?
@Dimitris or is it a new sound?
It is a new sound. It's not sounding terrible but definitely there. And it only does it under load, not coasting or top speed.
Did you up the voltage of your system?
No haven't done anything to the setup since I bought it 3 years ago
I actually wanted to get statorade to improve cooling but ended up not getting it
You should record it to say more then I guess
You mean the sound?
Yeah
It's a higher pitch motor sound like a surron motor if you've heard one
It's not unusual or banging or anything
I'll try tho good idea
It might be your motor bearings getting bit loose combined with if your motor controller is square wave and it starts to resonate during higher phase amps
It is square wave! Where should I start to troubleshoot?
You might need to replace bearings but if there is no slack at bearings I wouldn't worry about it yet
Thank you I'll have a look
broke my first spoke today
probably because an old lady forced me to take a 30deg angle to the ground after deciding to turn into me when i was turning right
Ur liable for ur own damage for not maintaining your lane, rip
Or something like dat idk smh
I've slep 80% of my life away the last 2 days
the Right on red lane has the right of way over left on green???
unless it's a turn signal
you don't turn into the intersection unless cross traffic is clear
Forcing someone otb just because you're too impatient for the intersection to clear is bad
I triggered u haha. Goal achieved
Get rekted idk smdh
yeah drivers won't observe their surroundings that well so it would be good training for everybody to use bikes etc for while to get perspective what not paying attention does
we are complacent
because we think the big hunk of metal will save us
