Maybe he can still save a few dollars the next time he needs grin stuff, whatever üôÇ
Maybe.
USA->CA shipping isn't great though
the main reason I encourage @Chris Hall (TinaJunVRC) is because USA->USA shipping is WAYYYY cheaper then CA->USA
Yup I dont live there so I dont know
he buys in bulk and relays in small quantity for savings.
Theyre cheaper for at least one country in europe too
@sgasgyxdd Most in europe. And austrailia. And china. And pakistan.
Not japan though. japan is a small fortune to canada for some reason. -_-;
We have a good stock of stuff we are meaning to restock soon trying to tell my boss as he doesn’t use discord
Up to 4lbs shipping to canada can be done reasonably cheap. Still adds a fair bit to the price.
wow that is like half to 2/3rds what most places charge me. also up to 4lbs? nice
USPS is like limited to 2lbs and it sucks
before it jumps to like, $60
or something stupid
Appreciate it. Can't promise huge sales but Id hope the advertising/referral will bring in some üôÇ
Mainly its just the torque arms, and bottle bobs that are a huge pain for US customers.
10kg or 22lbs anywhere in europe, tracked and insured costs me £10
(I made a deal with a medical company)
Other grin products arnt that bad to get from grin, cause most of the rest of the stuff they sell is like $200+ so the 20~50 S/H and/or tax isn't as bad anymore, lol
Ahhh, so you get to ship whatever you want, and they hide the medical waste inside undeclared but with you signing the paperwork if you get caught. Still, £10 shipping, worth it.
I would hope not given my dad is the operations director of said company lol
The way it works is that they deliver in such high volume that it's extremely cheap. Flat rate of £10 per boxed item under 10kg
*ships bbshds alongside medical machines, doctors are confused why they now have 20 bafangs*
@EPHIIOS New high speed patient transport
and if you crash your new bafang bed, well, your already in the hospital!
Lol all new patient beds able to go 30mph. Fast delivery promise!
to save time and money, we now have all the patients move about in a line, while the doctors and nurses stand still, assembly line style
I am trying to get my boss to do some kind of holiday sale to save on shipping and such
Neat! free shipping on orders over X$ are popular
and IMO, helps encourage customers to buy a little more at once
So it is through usps. You will have to request it through a chat with support but its easy. It is how pretty much all the better ebay resellers ship internationally. (Ebay's Global Shipping Program is overpriced as hell.)
So for canada you ship directly there. For the rest you ship it to a us address and they send it on from there.
I will also say they recently got UPS at some damn good rates.
And no monthly fee. You pay for postage and that is it.
Neat. I wish they would just make it default..
US shipping makes me wanna buy from any other country on earth when I can.

the side where the spokes are attached bruh
that.. is.. so..scary.
thats the inside of the rim where there shouldn't even be any stresses..
I was going ot say corrosion but its carbon fiber??
Nasty puncture or something maybe?
Is it carbon fibre?
I think so
you can see carbon fiber pattern in the rim of the rim
Things can break in many ways depending on where the force is going. Walls of the rim could have take a bit and then that part gave in, who knows what they did
I think they ran over something that punctured tire to the rim
that, or drove it with a flat over a rock or something
Also possible, I see people riding with WAY to soft a tire all the time.
20inch carbon wheel
i doubt
@izy Dats a funny looking shine pattern if its not:
looks exactly what id expect from carbon fiber
think its just a wrap or whatever
its peeling
Why would they wrap the bead?
i mean its a 20inch and guys from china
why would they put carbon rims on a 20inch ebike and also use those tyres
Ahh ok. On second look it looks like there might be a wrap line just over the bead, and no carbon fiber print in the middle
yeah
yup

that's just where rims are weakest in fatigue seemingly
rims flex during use. enough cycles and cracks like that form
not common since failures happen elsewhere... could be from using cheap nipples in non-eyeletted rims and cracking at the hub-side spoke hole
Yo guys the axel is bent on my hub motor and I'm not sure where to buy a new one that would fit.help would be appreciated
got a picture also how did you bend an axle lmao
Bets on no torque arm/v1 aem
Bike manufacturer replaced some components under warranty. I'm thinking the replacement chain might be too small. Thoughts?
Derailleur was less angled before.
looks way too small
It's -43C with windchill today. I don't want to bring it back in... üò¶
-43C
okay
unless you mean 43F then its quite warm
munch where you live the south pole lul
Canada. Cold snap right now. -31C with 21 km/h wind.
The chain looks a bit tight, there should be a bit more slack in the chain
lmao abit @munchbard derailleur should be 90 degrees south
That's my thoughts as well.
Depends. On my 11sp on first gear it's pretty far up cause if it was 90 degrees I wouldn't be able to shift all the way down
thats a 9 speed
Thus why I said depends
Lol
That's a 9 speed altus
My 9 speed altus in gear 1 for comparison
@EPHIIOS
that thing is screaming in pain
Oof
His or mine xD
both
mines considerably clean considering its a black cassette and chain
I like the b-link
the what @StarTrak
and yeah when i remove the wheel to change the tyre and redo the phasewires to higo ima give the cassette and rear derailleur a better clean
the weather was pretty trash and got the bike quite muddy aswell last week, actually got chain rust so it had a quick brush and heavy oil when i was over
the b-link
