In the words of someone else here, just make more laws |
It solves every issue |
[Massive sarcasm] |
just declare one week, in the middle of the frozen winter, everyone has to use a motorbike day. |
solve that overpopulation problem on earth real quick. |
also, super entertaining videos on youtube for everyone smart enough to just stay home for a week |
You'd just have tards like me growing food insid- |
I forgot I had my plants inside |
Then you have that one dude with spike tires on his dirt bike |
Rolling over the dead bodies |
But yeah in LA I feel a lot more in control and free on a motorcycle. And the past 3 years I spent making faster and faster bikes to get comfortable with that. I've never been in an accident involving cars on a bike so I consider myself a good rider even though I do a lot of things seen as not right, like rolling stops |
Unlike being in a car it's easier to see everything and also brake faster, at least on my bike |
When your bike can make a turn into 50mph traffic and match the traffic in like 2 seconds, it's beautiful |
I'm less concerned about stopping if there are people as well, it doesn't take much effort at all for me to stop fast and accelerate fast on this. People in LA are used to letting cars go before they cross even at crosswalks but I will wave them through on my bike |
I hope you got a brake light flasher |
my signals have big red LEDs I wired to the brakelight and the tail light also brightens. Having it flash would be a decent idea but I do think it's good atm |
huh flasher relays are only like $10 and look small enough to just fit under my seat by the fender connector. Considering it |
My bike cutoff randomly then this happened |
It works and has pas |
Toggling just no display |
Top angle |
You have unlocked a new mode |
Infinity mode |
@EPHIIOS @Akbar gets better |
i ended up shorting the jts cnnector for the lcd |
which made me blow 2 fets in controller (now replaced) |
Or not because even without the short the controller is blowing fets |
U might have a fused line somewhere on the pcb causing a short |
Lol |
Uh oh one of my axle nuts came loose |
Axle nearly fell out of dropout but I was going really slow today |
Now I need to get home but I don’t have a tool to tighten it |
Oof |
I think my torque arms saved me |
The nut opposite was the one that came loose |
There was one time on my old build where I was about to hop on and ride to work and noticed the axle was a little slanted by chance. |
Nut was able to loosen by hand. I was like god damn |
If you're going 90kmph like me, that's not good at all |
I hope whoever stole that bike has it come off |
My dad saved the day |
He brought me an adjustable wrench lol |
Check your nuts regularly guys |
Both types |
And both sides |
I've had that happen a few times, to varying degrees. |
Always check your axle nuts and your torque arms regularly. |
I was literally doing 10mph or less |
Was just a leisure ride |
On a gravel path |
A hill came up and that’s when the tyre suddenly hit the frame and I knew the axle was loose |
Ouch |
Yeah, of all the possible times for that to happen, that was likely one of the best. |
I check my qr skewers before and after every ride. |
I always set my QR insanely tight |
Like "im worried it might break' tight (not using any tools on it, but painful amounts of hand force) |
asked the local bike shop about it once, and they said it was fine, under tightening is much more common |
Me too haha |
yeahhh I try to tighten mine as much as I possibly can and still be able to push it in with my hands |
have only had one come loose once, but that was enough to make me think it's still worth checking regularly, so I always check those along with my brakes each ride |
I have strong enough hands that it's incredibly tight |
My front QR axle goes misaligned in a full-force panic stop pretty consistently, but that's with a 220mm rotor plus regen braking. <_< |
jesus |
This is why I've got plans to go thru-axle. lol |
I've never lost the front wheel or felt like I've come particularly close, but I prefer the peace of mind of that just... not being a thing. |
And pulling over to realign the wheel after a panic stop is an annoyance, albeit thankfully a rare one. |
i'd like to swap mine for non-qr (still 9mm) and heave it down with a wrench |
i have double-jointed thumbs so everything with a lever is snug as hell in my life |
That's basically what I've got. QR skewer but with a hex head. |
Well, my left crank died on my BBS02. Just like everyone else. Debated about replacements and making sure to tighten them carefully with the torque wrench and doing a few test rides and retensioning to try my luck, but bought a set of steel unicycle cranks instead for less money |
howd it die? it wiggled loose? |
supposedly the bbsXX might need a internal shim for the bearings(i might need it for mine, cant tell if the play is less than 3mm, gotta check) |
@person9 retensioning crank bolts is 110% a thing that needs to be done. the square taper seats more after a little use and the bolt loosens |
(typically after the first short ride, and then again after a long ride/couple more short rides) |
@Black Moons that's the intention, I just mean I do that a few times. I rode it home from the shop after a tire was rebuilt and retightened. Then took it to work one day and back and retightened, less than 8 miles total. Then took it to the girlfriends house a mile away and it fell off midride. |
Doh. weird. |
Have you got the right taper style? |
I had to replace one of my cranks fairly recently and kept re-tightening like Moons said above, kept coming loose after still |
I do. Common issue with the BBS02 cranks sadly. Bad quality aluminum and apparently unless installed perfectly and tightened often but never overtightened they crap out. |
ahhh that's fair |
Yeah, and mine have a deformed spot so now they'll never tighten correctly and stay right on that side |
ah i used some other cranks beside the bbs ones. forgot where i got em |
since i lucked out and didnt need an offset |
Yeah, I got some unicycle cranks that came recommended and there were several reviews of folks using them on the BBS02 motor kit |
@NCC1941 @Akbar im miffed |
What happened |
Uh oh |
the negative wire clipped a cell |
Did you not kapton tape it |
i was about to work on it |
so it wasnt |
Well that cell is dead |
its 1 cell in the final group |
Check the rest of the parallel group |
After removing that one |
what you mean |
they all reporting 4.19 v |
including the 1 above |
Maybe see if you can measure internal resistance of that cell |
Or group |
the blue is exposed |
Subsets and Splits
