Last time I heard that, it was the metal backing of the pads rubbing against the rotor
you might want to pull them out and have a look
because just some sound/whatever tells us nothing
I see
I‚Äôll pull it out later
sounds more like contamination
but you have to clean both the pads and the rotor
so you'll have to pull them out regardless
Bicycle got damaged in shipping
that there is $720 to replace and fix
Currently talking to shipping insurance
Front hub motor with no torque arms aluminum forks
Hot glue it back together but with a torque arm this time
Mind size mega
double side sticky tape
Lol

@DJeXeCute Torque arms are important, Ideally genuine Grin torque arms since the rest are generally poor knockoffs of their V1 that even they admit doesnt work, was trash and they no longer produce
Huh good to know i might have to look into that for my new setup although atm i think its fine for the 500watt 36volt setup im running. The forks are metal on this frame it passes through the derailer and i have a torque arm on top of that

that looks like the cheapy charlie v1
could be wrong
It's relatively thick and fits snug on the actual shaft. Id put one on the other side but the wires come out the end on that side and theres a large connector on the end of that so id have to depin it and slip it down the wire to do that
I'm hoping 500watts with steel forks and all that extra bracing spreading the load on the right side will stop it from breaking something this time though
probs don't even need a torque arm for that but better safe than sorry
My thoughts exactly. I was running a 1000watt front hub kit before when the front forks decided to snap
Thankfully they didnt snap during the 50 or so miles I rode the thing at high speeds but instead let go when i was walking it up my steps to bring it inside
I think they might have cracked but the bolts where holding the pieces together or something
lol yes
I had 4 SLA lead acid batteries in a box behind me that would have made for a fun time if i got sent over the handlebars lol
@DJeXeCute thats very much a V1 and is well know to cut the hose clamp in half where it goes through the ( shaped hole
If you insist on using it, id recommend sticking another hose clamp around it or something -_-
that torque arm does not look like it's doing anything
like if it turns it's just gonna pull the other part right out, sliding backwards right out of where the clamp holds it in place
Yea, it generally is to be butted up on top of the tube as well, not to the side... on the side, that hose clamp is going to get mangled going through that slot.
Yeah its pretty tight on there i did take my dremel and knocked down the sharp edges on the slit though so i could crank the hose clamp down with a socket on a ratchet without it snapping
Ah..
still looks scary with it bent so sharply through the slot.
Because the derailure also sits in the in the C it spaces that torque arm away and i have the hose clamp so tight its bending the metal arm flush with the tube
.. could put it on the other side.
The wires come out of that side out of the very end of the shaft and theres a large connector at the end of the wire although i do have plans to depin the connector to slip a second torque arm on that side in the future
Ahh k
forgot about those.
I am the ELF Guru haha
the jackstands do make you look like an offical ELF guru and not just one of those pretenders for sure.
"Not gonna get crushed to death by this thing!"
"or yaknow... lose a toenail..."
yea haha i got alot of photos of it being torn down the frame after only weighed 15 libs
very light 6061 Y-frame
I had to tow it in the city like this
hahah I can just see a cop spotting you like... yea nah they don't pay me enough to try and figure out what laws that bike train is breaking
I even got video of my friend towing it for me as my battery died haha
"lets see i have rules for 2, 3 and 4 wheeled bikes.. but none for 6... crap..."
haha someone else said it was a bike train
im amazed it tows straight backwards üòõ
doesnt just go crazy fishtailing or something lol
i was 2 the steering was loose it was hard to do sharp turns though
hahah
u had to do full 90 degree turns nothing sharp
I would not drive next to that lol
next time I'm just gonna get a tow truck
lol.
gotta find dat pickup truck friend
I still havent found one -_- well I did but he doesnt let me borrow his truck anymore after I let my dad drive it back from langley after I bought my new truck üòõ
it wont fit on pick up trucks it's 9 feet long and 5 feet wide
"What if he crashed it!" "well then, I would have paid you $2000 and you would have been happy, your truck is a peice of shit bruh"
i just paid $2,000 for body work...
(nevermind the fact my dad had a very suspended lisences from DUI at the time.... lols)
it was a 1996 S10 with more rust then body, and several large collision dents
haha i never owned a car the ELF is my car
$2000 would have been VERY generious
rofl checked his latest post...
`4800 just got my 5k service... new radiator because I‚Äôm dumb and put a pressure washer near it I also had water in the break line so had to flush the system. But everything‚Äôs good.`
i got so many pictures from the body shop i had to hire he worked 36 hours to do body work... and a month later i got a crack on the brand new rear panel that they made and wont fix it he wants to fully replace and charge me another $500
whyyy would you ever pressure wash a bike lol
especially an ELECTRIC bike
also how do you get water in the break line lol.. (ok I guess pressure washer but..)
i used to bring the ELF to the car wash
thats some bulslhit -_-
is that just plastic?
yea...
yeaaa just get some ABS, and a hot air gun
make your own panel, with hookers, and blackjack.
i used duck tape and vinyl wrap
like the next one I am not gonna rivet it to the body i am gonna use industrial Velcro like i did to my first one cuz then it can flex and not break
Accidentally broke and now it's hard to get new piece because of covid. Is there any way that we can fix this?
Shows voltage, speed, temp, power consumption
When riding
I accidentally enabled hard regen and now I just don't know how to turn it off .
I temporarily disconnected display and shorted controller disparity connectors with bridge plug.
Upgrade to LCD-8
Love LCD-8
Which one
I think there‚Äôs multiple variants
H
@Chris Hall (TinaJunVRC) might be able to use zip ties to allow some flex as well
Yea don‚Äôt wanna drill holes into the body haha already have one with that looks ugly
Kt-lcd8 costs $100
I tried to use AliExpress butter Indian banned it
Wow Ali is banned in India?
