My (abused) derailleur was shifting poorly. Had to skip like 3 gears to get a shift.
I fixed it by wiggling the derailleur back and forth a little. Shifts PERFECTLY now.
Guess the grease needed to settle or something?
If it has grease it's already better than mine lol
lol I feel like it might need some new grease if its that stiff.
The issues started right around the time it started raining heavily, daily here
And I also dropped my bike a few times
But now it sorta works!! üòÑüòÑ
Yeaaa. So prob rusting/needs lube
water tends to wash lube away.
It has also been caught in my spokes a few times.
.....
:3
It works.

derailleur hangers are a magic device.
It's possible your derailler hanger is shat on lmao.
Its pretty new.. and looks fine
I'll ride it till it snapZ
LMFAO ...ü•πü•π
So I blew out my back 700x28c tire the other day by trying to ride it while it was overinflated.
The hole is 5mm, I think
I don't know the metric system. I **think** that the narrow markings on the back of my ruler are millimeters.
I also weigh somewhere between 270 and 300 lbs.
If I stick a patch on the hole and run the tire at a lower PSI, what are the chances of it bursting again?
@DanteEdward The tire or the tube? If it's the tire it will fail again. That tire is now trashed.
The tube. Sorry, I was typing while distracted last night.
As it turns out, the Walmart near where I live sells 700c tubes for $5 apiece
And pumps with inline pressure gauges
So I pissed away $25 on getting my bike functional again
hey dont feel bad, I paid 20 bucks to get shifters I'm probably replacing again later down the line.
Interesting, seems my bike has broken while riding, but regen is working. (Can't apply any throttle.)
Shorted phase?
Think thats it
Shorted throttle/controller/motor
Like internally in the hub motor?
I do really hope it’s the throttle considering the regen is working.
or controller
Interesting, I’ll take that apart and check. Fortunately I have a replacement controller, but do not have a replacement throttle.
It was the controller that died, though I still have the original to replace it. Was hoping to use this KT controller to make a nice modded bike, but I suppose that will not happen anymore.
Cleared the short in the controller and it seems to be working again. Not sure why some metal got inside and shorted out.
Fixed it by mounting it deeper and jbweld.
Aluminium failed
Both sides snapped
That's sketchy as heck. No where near enough meat on that to bear any kind of load, I hope this is for like a splash guard and not something load/safety bearing.
Load cap of what, 15lbs? :arara:
i have done 15kg +
rated about 25kg
i had it at the lowest height but my frame has 2 set of mounting holes each side so instead
i mounted it to the highest holes JB welded the bolts on the sides inside it as a stop thats never gonna move
JB'welded the entire inside of the tube mob sides and mounted the tubes deeper
so far its holding strong
considering i lifted the rear end of my 32kg bike at the rack and it didnt even budge
I'm just used to strapping stuff to my cargo bike, so low cap/lightweight stuff like that looks ultra sketch by comparison
Hopefuly your repair holds
yeah i mainly use for the odd shop and mainly holding my 2kg bike lock on daily
but 2 years of usage and the alu fatigue on a hole did its job
Is that normal?

remember kids, only support your local bike shop if they are a *good* local bike shop
Looks like I may be out of a $800 bike
Kinda why i prefer to do all my own repairs, If i fuck up, thats on me, No headache chasing for repercussion
But then you get to hate yourself and not blame other people
goodandbad
Id rather be pissed off at my self rather than a business. seems more tolerable to me lmao
But at least theres a chance of recovery if someone else fucks it and maybe pays..?
Theyll have some BS where they wont be held liable :/
U might be able to just get a new frame and swap all the parts over
Yeah, I emailed Cannondale about it, and they said they may be able to get me a new frame
Yeah, that's kinda what's happening here
How much they asking for
Not sure, said that I'd have to file a warranty claim through a dealer before I can get any numbers
Oh damn. Gl
Thanks
Cosmetic. the deep scratches are into the weld where you have plenty of 'extra' metal
upper scratchs appear to be paint only
that said, Id demand some compensation, at the very least demand they get some touchup paint for you to apply from the manufacture
(if you really wanna remove the scratches, some bondo/epoxy and careful sanding can level em out. I wouldn't attempt any welding or anything)
they sure did somethin fuckity to scratch aluminum that deeply though, yeash
(I don't trust untrained people around paint, hence why id do it myself lol)
lets say i tore a small hole in the foam that wraps my battery
is it safe to just ignore it or should i tape it and ignore it or should i assume all hope is lost set the bike on fire and get a new one
I honestly don't care at all about cosmetic damage. I actually kinda like the look of a scratched up bike lol
Depends how much damage. Did it make it to the cell?
If the cells are fine: refill hole with silicone and seal over it.

Ur... Probobly fine? How'd that happen?
well u see i lost the screw that was there
and i didnt have another self tapping screw
so i tossed a nut in there and didnt realize how long the bolt was
and then we got here
Well first.... Shorten the bolt.
I agree
Second take it out, and inspect Tru the bolt hole and see if u see cells/broken cell wraps or anything
If not. Fill the gaps with silicone sealent
i just didnt know how importent it was that the battery stayed sealed and what could happen is all
Water entry can start corroding the pack. Best case? It dies. Worst case? Something corrodes enough to short. And if the bms doesn't stop it.......
fair enough thanks for all your help
Seems like my zip-ties failed when I let a friend test-drive my bike, and the battery fell off üò¨.
Anyone?
