you can get single walled rims like yours ofc
Ive been very rough on my rims and theyve held up well.
yeah it valies but they prone to go out of true
also now that your rim tape is broken it needs replaced entirely with the thick rubber type
or its gonna puncture tubes
My rear is very slightly wobbly but it hasnt changed at all since I got it
Not related to the snapped valve? Im ok with the risk for now
well the fact it moved enough to break it means you had clumping near valve

and extra room to exand near where it was removed
That broke it? holy shit
probably resulted in bad seating of the tube itself
also what size tyres are you using
27.5
and whats the tube rated for
yeah but tubes have a width rating
Id have to check for that, I cba atm lol
6am, I need to sleep
5am
7 almost
9am
Lol got 2 hours of sleep
same lol
@sgasgyxdd you been scamdoodled
Wut
What does this mean
missold rim
I wasnt told by anyone that its that, tjats just what I saw on their website
Are they lying?
looks like it but maybe you just have a potato camera
I do hage a potato camera atm
Idk if I want to take it apart again lol
How can I test without taking the tire off?
Don’t you have a carrera e bike?
Carrera vulcan blue
What power motor
let the magic smoke out of my battery :(
reversed the polarity (for less than a second), heard pops and saw smoke. The battery still has full voltage on output. Would you use it?
no because bms is blown
bms failed the task successfully
the battery might be good however you need a new bms
check wiring if you're able to reuse the signal wires it's less work
thanks for the advice. I'll look for a drop-in BMS replacement so I can reuse the signal wires
Balance wires are standard for like all bms'
Reuse cells and swap bms, monitor carefully for a few weeks
Man, had the chain break twice, put on a new chain on a casette that's done 5000 km and still going, started with minimal skipping and now the chain has worn in.
A new cassette is coming tomorrow but am tempted to ride this chain till breaking as well
i mean a cassette essentially shouldnt last that long
especially on a mid drive
Hey, I's running lovely now
I'm all about the LinkGlide now
im replacing a chain once a month or so basically
then a cassette every 3 months or so
on LG
I think I'd still be ridin the old chain if it wasn't for snow and salt
how much do you ride a month ?
i am doing like 1000miles+ a month tho
I'm doing like 850 - 950 a month
on a bbshd
regardless the LG chain is kinda trash
and expensive
i just went with an sram chain since they cheaper
16 euro is pretty cheap for a 10/11 speed chain
thr LG chain is £30 here
Oh
I'm in the EU and buying from germany
I'm gonna be putting 120 euro towards a blingring tomorrow
an sram pc1130 is noticeable cheaper , its at its most expensive atm at £20
its usually like 15
Ah that's fair then
the sram x1 11 speed is £12 atm
How many teeth?
honestly the chinese ones are perfectly fine at a fraction of the price
and work with 11 speed though it needs some wearing to be smooth on chain since tolerances can be tight at 11 speed, even worse if its shimano chain due to their weird sizings
10 speed and lower straight up works
blingring is mainly if you want 12 speed
42
I'm perfectly happy tp send my money to New Zealand over China
I also got a Czech made shift sensor at double the price over a Chineze made one
show us it
https://gearsensor.com/products
also you say that but when a lekkie blingring 42t costs £120+
when an identical chainring on alie made from the exact same materials for 1/3rd of the cost it adds up
also that gear sensor is a joke of a price
£50 yeesh
I paid €32 euro
UK sellers have it £45-55
on their own reseller listt
Plus like I said, I'm more than happy to support non-chinese manufacturing
yeah gotta support that non chinese manufacturing
for your specifically chinese manufactured , designed and owned mid drive

My front fender left the chat..
Something I'm curious about, has anyone here ever tried cannibalising a broken hoverboard for their motor and powering an eBike with it? Those hoverboard motors are meant to direct drive a person, so they should be pretty powerful?
And broken hoverboards are fairly cheap, much cheaper than usual motors on ebay
Yes, plenty of people have already done so.
