well now its really a freewheel
indeed it is
üòÇ
got a nice short there
Like a little spider bite
@void loop ( ) Doh!
It shot sparks like 2 feet
lol
at least you got a show
But yea. Zip ties not pipe clamps, less conductive üôÇ
Would zip ties work good on the torque arm?
Oh thats part of your torque arm? ah k üòõ Stick to metal there.
Well still, secure the cables to things with zip ties.. and maybe consider that anti-abrasion covering that cars use
(the cable jacket stuff)
Movement is the enemy of wires
45 zip ties
Just kidding
Electrical tape üòé
Is this bent or just an optical illusion?
are you sure your wheel doesn't need dishing
*shrugs *
when I got my wheel, it was completely out of true and needed dishing
even without the mudguard, the tyre would hit the left side lol
:0
fixed it by loosening the left spokes and tightening the right
do you have a stand for the bike?
first thing to check is if the wheel wobbles as it spins
like side to side or up and down
Not a fixed one
Maybe I'll make something
anything so you can jack the rear wheel up
don't drop it lol
Before I had it on bungee cords
Is dishing frame or hub specific?
Or does it vary
I guess it varies based on the setup
it's to do with spoke tension
Sure
I mean like
the hub should be dead centre of the frame
and the rim should be central of the hub
Well
The rim doesn't look very central
It does handle slightly oddly sometimes
I kinda hoped this would have been done from factory
Naive once again
Oops
This is the wrong channel
The thing is you have to be careful that you don’t over tighten spokes
And that the spoke tension is roughly even for each side
But it’s common for one side to be very different to the other
Shall keep in mind
yeah that seems to be dished the wrong way, maybe just built backwards
measure the spokes from head to nipple on either side
ima be taking my swingarm with the hub and rim to get it laced LOL
be like " HERE LINE IT UP!"
line it up string it up rawhide!
So remember when I said that my freewheel is toast?
No
How would you have made one out of bread
I'm relieved to find that it's perfectly fine and that it didn't break from only 1200w
It must be so burnt and carbonized
But also that the reason things were spinning and not going anywhere is because the threads on the hub are no more
Quality Freewheel: 1
oh shit
that looks wack
Chinesium hub: 0
I'm fuckled
Welp, I'd rather spend the money on building a new bike instead of fixing this piece of crap so new build it is then
Fair enough
Noooooo the frame is actually good. Suprisingly
Meh. The bike just doesn't suit my needs :P If i'm going to start spending the big bucks, I'm gonna build what I initially set out to build, even though I can make this a nice fatty
what u going for
u could be like me, and force it to conform to your needs! *grinder and welding noises, maniacal laughter*
going for broke apparently
well the style bike frame and such dont exist, at least in a DIY way, the closest i found was the cheetah
even then thats not full suz
wish they had a full sus empty frame for this: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/0a/fd/ce/0afdce8f7566525bc3fa24c91784b5dc.jpg
Just build it lol
thats what im doin fam
XD
Epic
Remember to not flash your controller to overdraw amps from battery
im lucky the bms died probably fixable so got fets and resistors on way if not got a smart bms
so BMS died and not the controller?
well the controller was flashed with open firmware and i have a replacement on way since original was squarewave but nothing blew up in contrller and its still flashable via stlink
im just glad my cells are all fine
even better i wanted a hailong bms to replace original.
the only guy selling it told me it wouldnt work unless i install fresh, then told me even if i installed fresh it wouldnt work as its different hardware in the case literally trying to refuse my purchase.
Literally only difference was B0-B13 are backwards , so instead i have a newer bms with bluetooth/uart so i can track the cells better
This sounds like something Clarkson would do...
too true i was only drawing 20amps in a 30amp bms tho
u channeled the clarkson energy for SPPPEEEEEEED
@izy this is why I bought the 200A BMS for my 40A needs. Sometimes those chinese amps are kinda on the small side üòõ
(that and it was like $5 more then the 40A BMS)
if you get a bluetooth bms, it's always better to go overkill with the current rating
then manually set the trip current
Yea
why?
Safety margin and reusability. Like I'm going with a 400amp bms on the battery I'm getting. Probobly never gonna need it but if I wanna run dual drive hell ya I want that.
