even without threadlock |
also torque arms proper ones that screw in will hole your wheel in place even if nut starts going loose kinda like a safety measure you will get some wobble but thats enough of a warning to check |
?torque |

Don't use V1 torque arms either. |
I need to replace the frame on my carerra vengeance, is stripping all the wiring/electronics and transplanting them into another ebike frame possible? |
If its a regular e-bike, yea. |
The most important thing is checking the dropouts or bb if its mid drive and making sure the new bike has similar spacing available. |
just.. don't cut all the wires, there is no standard wiring colors, and the same colors may be in multiple places. |
there should be plugs, if not, id recommend installing plugs while taking it apart, ONE set of wires at a time, and making sure it still works before going onto the next set of wires. |
Thanks for the info |

When you start exceeding the weight limit on an older cargo bike and it just decides to snap in half in the middle |
so uh...... my pack got ran over by several cars |
this was 100% my fault |
@TheGrayWolf81 what did you do |
@Akbar |
@izy |
@TheGrayWolf81 you mean literally ontop of the truck? |
@izy my dad has a hard cover over the bed, I put it on top of that |
and no one notice oooof |
yeah, my dad usually leaves for work later on Wednesdays, but for some reason he left early like the rest of the week, before the sunrise so not even I would've noticed in the dark lol |
I'm in the process of building my new pack anyway, but I'm still bummed |
because now I can't ride until I build it. I still have to order the BMS, charger, nickel strips, and get ahold of a spot welder or buy one |
This isn’t your first time someone ran over your battery, right? |
That is sadly not untrue |
Lmao how |
First time, same battery, I was at a park with my parents. Started to rain, so I zipped back to my dad's truck but it was still locked. Put my battery under the truck so it doesn't get rained on ( beacause the 3D printed case was absolutely *not* waterproof). By the time my parents came back and unlocked the truck, I loaded my ebike (first build that self destructed) and other stuff in the bed and forgot about the battery. Dad took off and only down the road I realized I was missing my battery lol. Somehow the pack was just wonky and I had to glue the cells back again. After that, I traveled another several hundred miles with the same battery, including with my new ebike, until today lol |
As you can tell, I am incredibly forgetful |
People were mad? |
@sgasgyxdd yes. I had to stop traffic to clean up the mess of batteries. people around here Are super impatient. they also drive 40mph in a 25mph zone üôÑ |
so nyc? |
no lol |
i mean tahts how it is here thou üòõ |
nah, in nyc ppl drive 50 in a 15 |
that is just like, a weee bit of a spontanious fire hazard.. do not store indoors |
haha yes, I made sure to store it outside on concrete away from my house. |
BUT INB4 I WAKE UP THIS MORNING FOR WORK AND MY DAD HAS PUT IT INSIDE |
the perks of having a non-removable battery üòé |
didn't know energizers are like butter on wet asphalt |
@Zilvinaslmao |
they not and i have been in heavy rain doing over 30mph |
what you hit |
a car that was supposed to give way |
ooof |
how close were you when you braked then |
like at least 15 meters |
but the bike lane had a slight slope downwards there |
and it wasnt exactly asphalt actually |
some sort of smooth bike lane asphalt thing |
looks like those playground rubber coatings, but it's anything but rubber |
i know exactly what you mean |
feels kinda like you have a flat when you ride over it |
that shits exactly like an ice rink when wet |
yep |
and also some, some dickhead decided to park right on the edge of crossing making a blindspot |
its an old google maps photo |
marked where a car was parked |
surprised you got as far as you did just riding over it |
i was riding my bike from left side (bike lane), and a car was turning right from main road into that side road |
yeah, from that photo, i basically started braking like 5 meters offscreen |
Riding home, my front brakes felt wierd but hadnt lost any braking force, 200m away from home something falls off my bike and it turns out to be the bolts holding the calipers to the frame -w- |
Fun! |
locktite! |
two incidents in a row! jeez. Sometime while i was riding today my rear deraileur got absolutely mangled |
Any suggestions on what i can do here short of replacing the whole unit? |
I'd rather not be stuck on electric power only >w< |
buy a replacement wheel its nylon |
the thing allen keys off |
is it okay to just bend the arm back in place? |
then bend the rest back and hope it stays aligned with ears |
Oh, a replacement unit would only be 30$, that's not horrible if i need to |
Yes just note it will be much weaker and snap off like the 5th time you do that maybe. |
looks like your chain jumped or you ate a stick or something |
make sure all your chain links move freely |
if your getting random chunga chungas from your chain you gotta free up the stuck links or get a new chain. |
But yea those wheel things just come right off with that allen key and you replace em. |
and whole derailers arnt bad. make sure to get one of the same number of speeds as your bike, cause they use different 'cable pull' to movement ratios |
Are most derailleurs compatible with same speed shifters then? |
Not always |
^^, especially in 9+ speed. |
Between shimano and spam close but not quite, different indexing/spacing iirc |
SRAM > * |
Grip shift ü§ì |
Im disappointed more people don't find innovative uses for grip shifts üòõ |
when I ran a 66cc motorized bike, the 3 speed shifter worked GREAT for the clutch |
even though a clutch requires a lot of pull, it was smooth and easy to do with the grip shift, and due to its mechanism the clutch didn't try very hard to pull back, was just smooth resistance |
and the engaging clutch mode was really nice for stop lights/etc because there was no neutral. and for pedaling if the motor was off |
(the detents on the shifter) |
was digging through some old ass batteries i had and came across this ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE bms swap I did in late freshman, early sophomore year of high school? |
i was using dollar store soldering iron and unleaded solder |
nastyyyyyyy |
glad youre still alive and kicking üòÇüòÇ |
