well considering u pretty need a motorcycle to not have it fold your bike in half might also be a clue
What made you say this?
losing a battery from snapped ties:D
Rear mounted battery flew off when I hit a bump in the road
The battery is still fine the casing is just a bit *sanded down*
People still shitting on them? Have there been new bad news since Rossman's case? Havent been following them
it's the running meme of the server that I joined in on ever since I had to fix my giant battery from them
I know and they deserve that, but im just wondering if theyre still bad or whether they actually fixed their shit
Still bad
Just the other day they had a pack with a pinched wire sending over 50v through the USB port
Lmao
Thankfully I got my UPP pack 4 years ago when they still were borderline acceptable
Been abusing it daily, still going strong
What I found out is that you’re basically at the mercy of the one assembling the pack
There’s no QC
And it’s a sweatshop so chances of them making mistakes are quite high
yeah I mean my first battery from them had no issues (surprisingly given it's 3 wire BMS)
still runs fine to this day in my first motorcycle
second one was a shit show, seems they got worse over time
probably had some employee turnover and mismanagement of cost reduction or something to make people build max speed
pretty sad, bought a $40 bell brand tire for my ebike and it got a leak some how so now im stuck waiting and it has snowed which i cant ride in :Cope:
@fellowleaf Get a patch kit. Also buy marathons, they stop pretty much all punctures
lol about dat, this was the fourth time my tube got punctured so i road my bike like 500ft and the tube wrapped itself
all the "self sealant" got all over the rear end of my bike
i bought Continental Top Contact Winter II Premium 650B
ill buy some marathons come summer
surprisingly the same bell tire i had for the back is still surviving
The sealant stinks as well
I spilt it in my garage once
epic
glad it didn't do it my garage, already had a tube explode in my garage after fitting said shitty bell tire i guess the bead didnt seat
i should have known the tire was crap
Patch kit and extra tube.
Thank you fellow neighbourhood resident for having zero spatial awareness and not stopping
They left a gift
Run the car DNA and find them
I mean there's a decent chance they'll get caught considering they very very likely live here and are hiding their car in a garage rn with a completely ripped off side mirror
it's a residential street in the middle of the neighbourhood, no reason to drive through unless you were coming/going to a home here
damage to my car was destroyed hub cap (need a new set now, probably $45) and only the actual mirror cracked so $17 for that
The paint is also messed up all along the side which is the biggest annoyance so if they find the dude maybe I get a new paint job
That works out well
Keep an eye out for eBay parcels in the coming weeks
@Trenavix @Deleted User lol that was a non hinged mirror, hes gonna need that mirror back to repair it, or a huge body panel lol.
People who hear "Crunch" and immediately think "WELP IM GLAD THAT WASENT ME HUCK HUCK"
Yeah i hope the dude gets caught so instead of paying for a $500 paint job he'll pay for a $1000 hit and run charge and the paint job
...and the cost of repairing his side mirror instead of having stopped and retrieved it..
He also destroyed his own hub cap on mine and left his own paint edged onto mine..
Id hand out pictures of the mirror to the local body shop
'If owner found, please call...'
bonus lol if you put up some signs for it.
'Mirror found, if owner please call xyz for return of mirror'
someone spun out their motor with a fake v1 arm which just bent
@MeowOnDaGlock was this you again
naw
aint me
i sheared a v1 tho
That sucks. Sorry to hear. üò¶
How much power does it take to bend a v1?
depends how tight your axle nuts are lol
from what I have seen, it will bend at any power if your axle nuts lose all its torque and the torque arm is the only thing holding the axle
I had built a 36 volt 750 watt rear hub kit on a steel frame walmart roadmaster with the v1 bracket and its held up fine for a few years
The girl i ended up selling that bike uses it to commute to and from work every day was just wondering if its more a 48v+ thing or if wattage matters more
Amps give you the torque needed to bend stuff. Voltage will give you speed.
Depends how bad the clone is. from some to little. we don't recommend them for any power level.
well, 2kw in a geared motor with stripped dropouts held fine till it spun and seized itself in, held nice after that
So um this is a problem
Get new sled
Yea
Which one in this called?
Nvm found it
Reenton
Now time to find where it is sold
Oof how'd that happen
I have no idea
For now imma just make new holes
It happened on both sides too
Now I'ma check my mount
Since I ride a hard frame
Man this sucks the only place I can find a replacement is grin and its 60$ after tax and ship
:TiresomePepe:
@StarTraki mean he doesnt need a new sled
since the metal piece just rests ontop of it and screwing it in the bottle holder screws actually hodls it in place
my sled isnt even screwed into the metal they just slid it under a plastic gap bit to stop it lifting upp
its not gonna move once you just attach it back onto frame normally @fellowleaf
Ight lol I put a couple new bolts in and electrical taped it
I thought the metal piece was broken off
But yeah
Talk with @Chris Hall (TinaJunVRC)
You might get a better shipping price for grin products this way
nvm ur in Canada so probably not?
Yea
Buy a tripple bob while your at it, so it doesn't happen again
(Also from grin)
And a good torque arm if you don't already have one. also from grin
now your shipping doesn't seem so bad after grabbing 3 things!
grab a cycle analyist too if you don't have one. /semi s
But yea. Tripple bob is basically made exactly because this happens occasionally, especially if you go offroad
Who needs help?
@Chris Hall (TinaJunVRC) lol. turns out guy was in canada anyhow but yea.
O ok
