so it sits flat |
i got my actual new rim so i have to do it again eventually |
You manage to get it nice and straight? |
Debating doing mine at some point |
heres my secret that rim is out of true regardless since it was in a crash |
ah |
hahaha |
i was meant to get that exact same rim from alie which is why i had the black spokes. |
it ended up in new york for some reason so i was gonna lace it onto my original rim from bike |
turns out that rim only had 32holes when i needed 36h so i just put it back together with the new spokes |
fair enough, apparently you can pull rims slightly back into shape after a knock |
depending on how bad they are of course |
oh i had to bang it it was that bad and its still out abit |
üòñ |
new ebike specific rim arrived that is 36H |
and its already straight anyhow just gonna be fun putting 14ga spokes on a 12ga hub |
Drill? |
Dremmel might be more appropriate |
14ga is smaller than 12ga |
Oooops |
Slow brain today |
it will work regardless |
how bad it was before i adjusted it |
0.o |
yeah now its only out of true in 1 spot |
Got a pinch flat the other day, instead of going for bigger mtb tyres my dumb brain wants motorcycle wheels now |
The dishing was never right anyways |
that rim tape is so strong |
is stripped most of the black coating on the rim when i removed it |
Looks cushy |
you could you know actually inflate your tyres |
I just used a roll of cheapo duct tape |
Also probably hasn't helped in hindsight |
considering i hit the curb fast and hard enough to do that to my rim |
and i didnt get a puncture |
What pressue? |
was like nearly the max rated for the tyre |
lemme check |
my tyres are rated 85 max psi |
so like 80 |
I was running similar originally |
Hadn't checked for a while |
Bike is hevy |
Rider isn't exactly smol either |
The push back to work was gnarly, chipped some paint off the rim |
Don't think it got significantly damaged |
the more weight the higher the psi is the general rule |
Yeah, guessed as much |
I tried banging it in place, but only chipped the paint, once I had it of, I stuck my heel on the flat spot and pulled with hands and achieved next to nothing :Pikachu: |
jayzus |
wtf am i looking at?! |
cracked frame |
held together with hose clamps |
whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy |
like i do stupid shit with hoseclamps, like dethskoot, but even then i know its not great. the leverage there is either gonna slip the clamp down or up and POP goes ur stem |
Yeah, u might wanna get a wider hose clamp |
or u know...do the right thing. either get the frame welded, or toss it |
that crack is already spiderwebing |
its a matter of time before full failure lol |
that's a toss |
TBH |
aluminum with that much structural failure? |
That ain't going |
that spiderwebbing |
would need the headtube chopped off and replaced |
Holy $#@%ING CRAP |
Wtf did he do, drive new oversized bearing cups in? |
How the hell do you crack both sides of your head tube. |
I can only assume he like, drove the bearings in so crooked he cracked the tube before driving them home |
And yea, that frame is toast, lol. |
Agree with Startrak, toss into the trash. |
@Black Moons front high power hub motor I think |
yeah a tonne of people no the fb group not using torque ars of the cheap ones |
and upp batteries |
Checklist for the facebook group |
Counterfeit torque arm :check: |
torque arm installed incorrectly :check: |
UPP battery :check: |
Flammable yellow phase wire connector block :check: |
controller in a thermally insulating bag :check: |
rim brakes :check: |
wiring mess :check: |
Would have to be an amazingly shitty bike and high power motor for that... |
like, front brakes make a 3KW hub motor look like a joke |
at least, disks do |
also I can't see force or impacts 'cracking' it like that without just ripping it right open. |
I almost think it HAD to be done with a bearing cup install, or the entire thing would have ripped apart before they got the bright idea to put hose clamps on it |
the top it off is the admins bike frame just stuffed with lipos |
you also forgot spotwelding with nickel plated steel to copper because??????? |
because it's easier lol |
they aren't using good welders |
reminds me of this |
why is the indicator light on? |
don't touch it, it's spicy for multiple reasons |
Iv seen a couple not Firestarter yellow blocks. U can get em. On McMaster. But pricey for the glass fiber reinforced stuff |
yes but also consider that this is a vibration environment |
Tru. Ud need castle nuts and a pin |
@Akbar there is no real issue with using bolted connections on EV's, see: cars |
the problem, is using shitty chinese stamped steel ring terminals with poor crimps |
Which EV uses bolted connections for power? |
Subsets and Splits
