I've never seen any rear hubs explode
has anyone else? :P
to me, it seems like a fake review made by someone who has literally no clue how ebike hub motors are constructed
Yeah, that's some weird bullshit there.
that's racist
I had a phone call from India by a guy called Richard
maybe it was him
I ask them if their mother knows what they do for money
Or for the fake tech support scammers I'll start following their directions, but on my microwave
i get calls in mandarin for some reason
Are you American?

It‚Äôs designed to intimidate illegal immigrants from China I think lol
yep exactly
i had a friend translate for me lol
also
ive gotten several really odd ones
that just say 'its time to stay home. stay safe and stay home'
thats it, cheap robotic female voice
Chinese students pay 3x the standard tuition fee to study in the U.K.
They wear expensive clothing and have very expensive apartments too
Probably spending ¬£50k+ per year studying here
except they take all the spots from regular students
schools are very happy to have more people paying triple tuition
and there's no shortage of demand
Don‚Äôt think that‚Äôs how it works here
@Orange_C Sometimes I cuss at them in Cantonese
I know very little Cantonese. Just enough to be extraordinarily rude
@StarTrak Id wager torque arm failure. but yea.
lolol nice, id love to learn more than a few words (more insults), but damn is it a tough language
also 2nd bike has a hall sensor error, doesnt seem to be my connector
doh
it ran fine yesterday unloaded
broken hall wire, fixed up now
that'll do it.
thankfully, for a bit I was worried there was a deeper problem but it's running well. Low on torque compared to my geared hub (25A dd, 20A geared) but that's a bonus for this use case
I'm really bad at bleeding brakes. I can't bleed Magura MT5 for shit.
Hate myself
with a bleed kit?
ya

you get better. I first tried bleeding brakes in my unheated garage in a canadian winter. long story short, the piston popped out and all the mineral oil went onto the garage floor and i was so cold i didnt bother cleaning it up so i just left if for a few days and went inside to warm my hands
Lol forgot the bleed blocks?
That sounds like no fun at all
intentionally. wanted to see if it was actually working, was in a rush to get back inside. figured i could just push it back after. a few squeezes and all of a sudden it went from not going great to one of the worst case scenarios
Worst case scenario is you have shimano ceramic pistons
And they pop out and shatter
Then oil squirts on eye
worst case scenario you bleed yourself instead of the bike
So my rear hub bearings have died
There is too much play in the wheel
It being a cheaper bike, I can only assume it's a cup bearing system
Which means the hubs is likely toast
yes
I have yet to take it apart and see
There's a possibility it's that, but with how much play there is, I think the bearings/hub are just super worn out. Will take it apart and see when I have time
worth a shot, but yeah the original axle on the bike i built for my dad was too far gone and grease/adjustment only got it to barely rideable but still awful
Cup-and-cone bearings can last decades - first thing would be to regrease and tighten the cones as Ox said. There's usually a fair bit of adjustment to make up for wear.
I had an old 70s three-speed hub that I found next to a dumpster and I just had to replace one of the busted ball bearings and it was ready to go üòÑ
Thanks for the advice!
i think mine was likely missing a bearing ball, the axle was badly bent and it was probably a few thousand miles overdue for maintenance, barring that youve got some leeway to get it right
Prior to converting the bike to electric, I frequently rode it up and down staircases üòÖ
That could have potentially added to it
But now that I think about it, I think it could be that the cones weren't tightened and the torque from the mid drive could have caused them to loosen. Speculation speculation, I should just shut up and go take it apart xD
Well guys, i did it. I didn't know drive side of BB is reverse threaded and tightened it to oblivion. Now it's never coming off. GG
Bent my adjustable wrench trying to get back off
maybe if you get some thread penetrating oil and heat up the bb
I managed to get it using the extra pain method
Put all my weight against it and when it went it went hard lol hit my shoulder and ear on the side of the bike
rip
ah yes the cheater bar technique
good looking bike
so are you building a second bike or just working on the one you have had for a while
Revamping the one i had
lol protip: bikes have the odd reverse thread
Pedals, bottom bracket
I forget if anything else.
everything turns toward the back wheel right
to unscrew that is
hilarious throwback
how did you do that?
lol looks like a cartoon

Just had my first (very minor) bicycle crash in years.
Forgot to disengage my steering locker and tried to take off - might have made it to 4mph before I fell over. -_-
Had to reseat the front wheel to get rid of some brake rub just to get back on the road, and I'll have to give the whole bike a once-over before I take it out again.
Moral of the story: If you have a steering locker, don't forget that you have a steering locker. :P
My bike has a very heavy front end and a rear-mounted kickstand, so the steering locker makes it a whole lot less likely to fall over when parked or when loading cargo.
Are you okay @NCC1941
Was this at burger king
Nah, this was as I was about to head back to BK to pick up the second half of my order. lol
And yeah, I'm fine. Ended up pinned to the bike with my leg between the handlebar and the frame because the handlebar got wedged on the saddle (???), but no injuries. Just had to get untangled from the bike. :P
Bike faired worse than I did, but it's also basically fine.
@NCC1941 Did you consider that maybe this wouldn't have happened if you had gone to taco bell like a reasonable person
I wish. lol
Burger King is under 2 miles away.
Taco Bell is over 12 miles away.
And are you aware that I'm formatting this conversation to look hilarious to people that didn't know that I already knew you went to burger king
