Well, not shredding my pant legs *as much*. It still happened. lol
eh
I've never shredded your pant legs yet
so
lol
Is it possible to pop the controller off without removing the motor
if the guide is gone?
or guard, rather
Not sure, honestly. I never tinkered with mine.
Fair enough
I could've sworn Karl covered that exact topic at some point, but either I'm misremembering or it's gone now.
Karl's covered a lot of things
in his own inimitable way
He broke many a Bafang so that I could learn how not to, the easy way.
hahaha
So true
ya that bbshd ate my pants leg ones so hard it ripped a chunk out of my jeans
yeah
I've lost some jeans to an acoustic bike before
ya but BBSHD is just so...violent. literally 1 sec ok, next sec its trying to eat my leg
Yep, my BBS02 was the same way on occasions where my pant leg managed to miss the chainring guard entirely.
One second it's fine, the next second there's a flap of fabric left of that part of my pants.
Catching a shoelace also isn't amazing.
well
maybe I'll install the damned guard
but still
:P
Unless you need to take apart your controller i would advise against it lol its a pain in the ass
I might want to disconnect the PAS
Yea be careful
Its siliconed in
I might put a silica gel capsule baggy in it if it'll fit to collect any future water ingress
Or just the balls themselves
im kinda not running...any...gaurd on the front ring...its just freeballin
stick your pantleg into your socks, or put an elastic around it, lol
its only a matter of time
also tuck shoe laces into your shoe
Nah I just see it as an acceptable sacrifice to the ebike gods.
ohhhhhhhhh!
the 2 brake cables are just in parallel!
so either one can pull the 1 line down
I only use 1 brake sensor atm
yes
I got bored and didn't fit the other lol
üòÆ
second motor controller dead so i just took the motor off, gonna put it on my other bike if i get my parts soon
that sucks üò¶
12v 0.03A was too much for the Chinese DSi charger wires
That's... impressive. I'm surprised it's possible to do that with 12v 0.03A *on purpose*, let alone incidentally.
The strands wouldn't bend whatsoever. Makes you think it wasn't even really metal lmao
How it conducted anything is beyond me
Time to see what other useless combo wires i have lying around so I don't make an ugly mad scientist wiring outside the bike
Can a Chinese woman's hair conduct 12v
@Trenavix Heh, reminds me of the replacement connector that came with my fuel pump
'Why is this stuff so damn stiff! did they make it outta the hardest copper on earth?'
Nope, they made it outta solid core wire...
Because that is totally what you want on a vehicle... -_-;
powering your fuel pump..
Had a rear tire blowout yesterday. Thankfully not far from home, so I just walked the bike home and left it at that for the evening.
Upon cursory inspection at home, I found this. -_-
Today I'll open it up and figure out wtf happened.
hmmm
looks like it got cut off
prob wore through
or something
Yeah. My two guesses are cut off, or sucked in. I think the tire slipped around the rim during/after the blowout.
Speaking of, I did get to test the 'run-flat' claims on the Tannus Armour inserts.
Conclusion: I wouldn't.
However, floppy though it was, I had no issues with the flat tire trying to fall off the rim as I wheeled the bike a couple blocks, so that's a bonus.
mm
Update: Yep, it got cut/ripped off.
tire/tube slipping on the rim would be my guess, that looks more ripped than sliced
Yeah, that's what I'm leaning towards as well.
happen under either accel or braking that you remember?
Nope. Just smooth sailing at ~25mph.
And I was in 750w mode (split between both motors), so there shouldn't have been any hard acceleration or braking to speak of.
All I can figure is that maybe I neglected my tire pressure for too long and let it get low enough to move around, but the ridefeel was fine up until it wasn't.
I'm not understanding what happened
I'm not 100% sure either.
But my best guess is that I let my tire pressure get low enough to let the tire slide along the rim, which pulled the tube around, which ripped the valve stem out and left it on the street somewhere.
I can't find any other obvious defects in the tube, and certainly none that would have resulted in a blowout. So the removal of the valve stem caused the loss of pressure, rather than the loss of pressure resulting in movement and then the loss of the valve stem.
Whoa weird
weird.
I hope its not related to the failures I got with thick tubes constantly shearing there.
try using a washer
@Black Moons had a similar issue with the pressure pushing the tube into the edge of the stem hole. u can try useing a deburr tool to round it over so its not a sharp edge, and a washer to spread out the pressure
I just switched back to normal tubes and the problem went away
had 3 'thornproof' tubes tear at the filler in like, 30 minutes of riding, including one installed by the LBS
was NOT amused.
(admitly, that 30 minutes of riding included full acceleration and stops. I forget if it was rear or front wheel)
Oh wait no it was front for sure
But yea, hard stops üòõ
I've got a set of non-'thornproof' tubes arriving tomorrow. Between it being a different style of tube and it not being just slightly too large for the tire/armor combo, I'm hoping that'll cover my bases well enough.
I've never heard of using a washer there before, but if this keeps happening, I may give it a try.
Replaced the thermal cutout on my air compressor with a 8A thermal 'breaker'... Not entirely sure if thats the right thing but whatever
had to bend the terminals over 90 degrees to get the housing to close, and solder 2 wires onto one terminal (because the old thermal breaker? yea, it has *3* wires...)
so I get the thing reassembled, and to do so, you gently hammer the motor halfs togethor so you can get the nuts onto the 6" long bolts to finish the job.
... I hammered on the god damn breaker by accident and smashed it.
epoxyed it up, for some unknown reason.. I don't think im going to use it lol and have just ordered another off amazon.
cause I have no idea what the hammering might have done to damage its internals
