Either way
I would go with a less wide tyre and something of higher quality, considering the weight of the bike/rider and its a hub motor
And use a proper psi to not ruin it
üëç
i hate waiting tbh -w-
the other tire that went in a similar manner was properly inflated and of right width though
so im still thinking theres something fucked with the rim
@izy with regards to a replacement what am I looking for exactly?
hold on 633? is this a typo?
Rember it sits inside the rim
ahh thats the outermost diameter
fair
i have this catalogue available to me: https://www.canarycycles.ca/collections/tires
@mark c Rim sizes are... fun:
wh
aaaaalllright then
Yes.
🤦‍♀️
tell him to hold the brake down so he doesn't accelerate too quickly 👀
tell him to stop using V1 torque arms and the shittyest suspension fork he could find
a rear hub would be.. so much better at 1KW too lol
Hey guys i just got a 3kW front hub motor and have broken 12 different front forks, what gives???
I guess I'll just try the next fork in the garage
well are u using a small pastry fork, or that massive fork for SPAGGEET
wut
Plebs not knowing how torque arms work
but th3 torqu3 arm is install3d...so it must magic
omg
i thought the torque arm was bolted to the frame
no they just have the bolt pressing agianst it
mygod
can someone edumakte them
plz
how does facebook have the most astonishingly bad posts
@Jon w Imagine how stupid the average person is, and then realize that half of them are dumber then that and went and all joined facebook because the other forms of social media where 'too hard'
oh shit, no one mentioned the grenade underneath him either
th3 torqu3 2 big
That group is filled with cunts whining about "that bikes not legal wahhhh"
lol the facebook group i posted that from is opposite bunch for 3000w build etc and rest doing over 30
must be getting mixed up with the uk ebike group, its laughable really
I should post there
definitely lol
putting your life at risk at 250.0001W...
I was called a moron and a danger because I dared to mention I use cruise control at 15/20mph, and I should turn myself in for having a 36v 500w kit on the road. Didn't get a chance to reply before I was either blocked or the post deleted.. soft arses
Wow
wait until they find out that 250W is the nominal limit and there's no peak limit
Yeah cunts with nothing better to do than be grade A wankers
I'm in the process of registering an LPM
this
i doubt those bosch motors actually do 250W in max assist
basically the exact same thing as a normal 250W ebike except it allows you to use throttle/ cruise control
no insurance/ license etc needed
can still use bike paths
I just think it will help in case I ever get pulled over or something, can just point to VIN plate
Honestly, the 250w 15.5mph rule is absolute bullshit, my 500w is not particularly torquey or fast, but enough to cruise to work on. The law needs to be overhauled and get this archaic bollocks overturned and replaced with something that makes actual sense
That sounds like a good idea
should be minimum 20mph
it should be 20 honestly
Agreed
Even me in my crippled state, I can cycle faster than 15mph fairly easily
set controller limit to 25kmh but set wheel size to 5"
:troalil:
That's a question actually, what does dropping the wheel size setting actually do?
think about it lol
Sue me, I'm thick. üòÇ
it thinks you are going a lot slower than you are
Ah makes sense
officer look it's 25kmh
*pedals away at 60kmh*
sets wheel size to 0001mm on CA
it's alright
when they see the CRT you can claim grandfather's rights
replace it with a dot matrix
i have hurt my knee
How did this happen?
Let me guess: powerful front hub motor, inadequate torque arms
Oof
how many watts was the front hub
Looks like it was over 1000
1000w @izy but my motor is broken too now i will use a rear motor
@Simson_suhl The issue is that there weren’t any torque arms, not that it was a front motor
Front motors with adequate torque arms are fine
Same with rear motors
You need two genuine torque arms
now i know but my wallet must be wait a month or two before i can buy me a new motor
damn and i thought all torque arms did was prevent loosening of the axle nut
No @Simson_suhl
In fact, that is the only thing they *don’t* do
With torque arm installs you have to check the axle nuts regularly after install
ah
i suppose it's not so great of an idea to push 1500W to the rear without a torque arm :amsmiles:
actually proper arms do that
for the most part
i guess what saved me over these 2 or so years was the motor's extremely lackluster torque output
Nah
@Iron Also, no, it is not a good idea
like my rear nuts were going loose with my proper torque arms even but turns out after the accident i put them on wrong.
so what happened was it was allowing a small amount of movement and bent the arm holes slightly but basically it was making my axle nut loosen because of it
replaced the arms with new holes (since they were removeable for angle adjstment)
fitted them like i had correctly first time and since then my bolts have had nearly no movement at all
