@izy Hello grin I opened my phaserunner |
Had to acetone the epoxy |
yea I just wanted to check under the hood. |
also pretty sure acetone does nothing to cured epoxy, you need stuff so nasty it will dissolve half of whats not epoxy too |
that or a hammer and chisel |
TBF< likely some of both |
I was kinda interested in what would melt epoxy too |
heat also works well |
it softens quite a bit around boiling water temps |
I know if you heat it it peels off yea |
I'll hit blades up with a torch to remove em from a knife when epoxied in |
I contacted them and they are going to be replaced |
Send the blown one to big Clive. |
depends on the epoxy, but alot of em probobly need caustic chems that have massive warning sheets |
I don't have one. |
@Alec check here for what happened to the phaserunners |
do you need different batteries for different power/ amp level kits? or are they the same? |
also can a front hub kit be changed to rear? |
a battery has a safe maximum continuous current rating. You can use any kit below this rating |
front hub kits generally can't be used on the rear |
where would i find the rating? |
e.g what would a 10 or 12 amp be suitable up to? |
link the battery here |
@alex123711 Chances are, a 10AH battery with no current rating is going to be one of the shittyest batteries they could find, especially if its a 36v one, and won't be suitable for more then a 500W motor at most. |
https://em3ev.com/ for batteries.. with current ratings, and actually tell you what cell they use.. and their current ratings are generally conservative, when you look at the cell used and the manufactures recommended max continuous discharge current. |
(you even get to pick from several options for cells) |
With corresponding change in price, because yaknow, cells are costly. |
Slightly off topic, but does anyone here have a kit they could recomend? |
I've got a rack on my fat tire two wheeler, so weight/bulk isn't too much of an issue. |
I've got a leatherman rev that I always carry on me, I'm thinking of lashing a pump and a set of allen keys to it. |
An ebike conversion kit? |
Repair kit, sorry. |
Ah so something portable with a set of tools? |
https://www.amazon.com/Topeak-Alien-31-Function-Bicycle-Tool/dp/B000FIE4AE/ |
I would recommend that for starters. |
with a small adjustable wrench |
Well, I carry more than that … |
I just put together my own. Couple pedros levers. Leatherman. Bike multitool. Extra bolts, lube, loctite etc. Extra tube (since the 26*4 tube is massive), extra chain, chain tool, zipties. Etc |
so, I fucked up, didn't see a pothole ahead and now my wheel is |
... |
anything to be done with this, or new rip and spokes, and time to learn how to lace? |
lacing fun but first try adjusting spokes |
feels as if I made a flat spot, but I shall try |
also, would a larger tyre with lower pressure better protect the wheel?, or do I want higher pressure IDK, should I get a flat before I bend the wheel or the other way around? |
higher pressre prevents pinch flats etc |
haa, what the heck |
Thou bigger tires just have a lower pressure for same feel |
Like my 26*4 at 30psi are bricks |
Blacks spokes much nicer |
Imo can be saved |
@Aramož I tend to leave such jobs to the pros, they know what they are doing and for $10~15 that they charge locally (your cost may vary.. ask beforehand) they do a much better job then I could |
If you ever do replace the rim, make sure to get a nice double walled rim |
things marketed for 'downhill' is also a good idea |
(also know as: traveling at high speed into rocks) |
personally id still ride that if not using rim brakes and its not making the bike shake |
Avoid potholes. First suggestion. |
that’d be a cool app |
would require a precise GPS but … could voice alert, warning pothole imminent |
crowd-sourced info |
I would take the tire to city hall, take a picture of the pothole |
and say … I want to make a claim to get a new wheel. |
here in LA County I think you can do that, if I recall |
yeah, or just avoid riding at noon, when there are no shadows, I bet I could easily spot it earlier or later in the day :dddd |
there are some open crowd sourced maps alternative, IIRC, they could implement road quality stuff, I guess |
rim breaks, no space for disk rotor on the hub, and at low speeds you can really tell, but at faster speeds it somehow doesn't feel as bad. |
and it hit me just now, you can't see in the vid, it's a hub motor |
I think I will try to fix it, and just move on to something else. I really like hubs, but IDK how good of an idea they are on our roads |
I think we should have a right to ride without potholes |
all that tax money |
yeah |
ya... but in the meantime, yea you might consider getting a beefy double walled downhill rim |
and spokes? |
Ehh, beefier spokes won't exactly help things, and may even hurt |
this is the rim i just bought seems beefy enough https://www.ryde.nl/andra-321 |
gotta match spoke count tho ._. |
Well the do a 32h and 36h version |
its just 4 spokes...ull be fiiiiiine |
Using radar to detect potholes? |
yah that’d be cool, radar/lidar, part of a mapping |
it’d share to a database of a map — maybe a smartphone app |
Went back to garage to look at it again, and the rim is actually cracked :d |
Sucks ballsack |
Time to buy a new rim |
Think I could get away with smaller wheel? Get a longer shock to keep the geometry? |
Ig for it to crack like that, I had to perfectly sign the edge of the hole and the spoke |
Holy |
fitting tubeless tyres on to a rim :d |
Wh why |
just what I have, wanted to see how it rides |
new rim time sorry |
what is up with this spoke angle |
what should it be like? |
less...angular maybe |
just wondering |
eitherway, I tried to fit some older rims, then I discovered all rims at house are thin and wimpy, so I just tried to bend this one back, it's somewhat better than it was, and then I messed around with spokes, stuck on a fat tyre, and now you almost can't tell it has a flat-ish spot |
I'm gonna try f BMX rim, but I need to get new spokes too .d |
did you lace these yourself? |
yes |
Any tips? |
get a box or something so you can sit the gear side down without it tipping |
