wtf is that |
Happy new year from unit pack power |
Aight, just watching this Park Tool video on chains. Sounds like if the chain doesn't interfere on the smallest gear, I should be good. https://youtu.be/O0YibMDWBAw?t=60 |
Also gotta check for slack. |
Park tools makes great guides |
Just a follow up to my previous messages about the chain. Customer support says it's too short and to bring it back in. Frig. I really need to get a hitch mount for my vehicle. It's a 10km trip to the shop and it's been -30C since Christmas. |
at this point might be better to become a bike mechanic |
you dont even need that many tools to work on chains |
bike wrenching is much cheaper compare to other kinds of vehicle anyways |
and doesnt use harsh chemicals |
yeah and fairly simple too, but you gotta do it way more often |
for regular bikes it's like....every 200 miles or so a chain clean, 6 months wheel true and maaaaaaybe a hub rebuilt |
replace pads as wear |
what else |
I grease my motor every thousand miles so it's not even that much work |
cable adjustments, or once a year hydraulic flush |
new cassette every couple thousand miles |
fork rebuilds if you have a suspension every year or two |
Yeah, working on vehicles I can do. Bikes seem to have their own set of specialized tools that are needed. Slowly building them up, but takes time. |
15000 miles if u take care of it chain |

Reminder to use torque arms |
Pinned a message. |
saw that before I love how he didnt know how to literally use a wrench to twist it back and would resort to a hammer |
seems like a good example to stick to the non-cheapo prebuilds too because that wasn't even a conversion |
wow |
Which one |
it's one of those full suspension folding fat bikes |
discord's mad at me because the image is too big |
from his user feed ~a month ago |
wow |
yeah that's kinda a shitty bike though |
I wish he asked ppl which one to get |
https://www.reddit.com/r/ebikes/comments/s79afl/dont_waste_your_money_on_cheap_batteries/ |
Saw. UPP back at it |
`ANY bought battery, open it and check it, upgrade the nickel and wiring to 2x capacity specs.` LOLs |
yes, just open up a battery, whip out your spot welder and go at it. Nooo danger theree. |
Or yaknow, buy a battery from a reputable company that isn't shit, like EM3EV, and leave the spot welding to people who know how to use the damn things. |
Yeah I didn't even know how to respond to that comment... so I didn't... |
Bruh you shouldn't have to be an engineer/technician to trust your battery won't burn itself |
ooof someone had throttle issues after washing bike on a bafang lcd. |
guy comes in and says hes burnt controller getting throttle wet (hes done it twice himself) |
?? |
sure mate you shorted the throttle now it sends 4.2v to controller nonstop as opposed to sending 4.2v to controller until you pull throttle |
Lol |
bruh what the hell was this guy doing, 5m jumps with no tires??? |
Bet it was a kerb @Trenavix |
Bad spoke tension there |
poor lace |
had a weak spot |
hit the kerb at the exact angle |
kek, I have that exact wheel too, voilamart 1500w in the middle and same rim |
The way it's dented in looks exactly like a kerb damage |
that edge hitting exactly on that spot |
must have been going a decent speed to completely cave it in like that, steel spokes all bent lol |
yeah |
If anything I'm impressed by how efficient rolling threads is vs cutting them (for spoke threading) |
Entire rim gets destroyed but nipples still holding |
Liverpool smick with a stealth bomber |
People need to stop climbing curbs lol. |
Rolling threads basically makes all the metal grain 'follow' the thread profile |
also you can see a spoke poped opposite of the damage |
Or maybe it broke before the damage and was removed? I don't see it anywhere.. |
Gotta case them kerb |
never!!!! |
oh next time I'm in the garage, I will pop one of the chinese cells with my welder and record it |
it's one of them with a vent cap on negative side |
lol. |
Please film it! |
I want to see it BURN |
a reminder to waterproof stuff correctly |
whoever installed this clearly didn't :facepalm: |
What is it |
it's the remains of a car backup camera |
it is on the other side and i was surprised the pcb was just exposed usually it's sealed |
I put my torque arms back on after doing a repair but I forgot the 2 nut and bolts, luckily I didn't break my frame |
Nice |
Literally how I view front wheel kits, all sorts of stupid and worse if it's high wattage ones. Usually without a torque arm too. Front kits of any wattage are just a good way to get a concussion. They handle like junk too. |
^^. Losing rear traction = weee |
losing front traction = AHH CRAP |
Leans bike against metal pole |
Ah $4!T |
clasp slides dont gives him a nice wakeup call |
Ride it in the rain, extra challenge |
When they stop putting them in the way, okay I will. |
Bruh, they put ramps into em like every 30 feet. |
Uber\Lime has littered the city with them, here in Denver. |
With heavy AF front racks, presumably to weigh down the drive wheel so it slips less! ;D |
Part of their licensing to have hundreds of rental foot scooters all over, was contingent on them having a certain percentage of their fleet be ebikes. |
LOL no. Not around here at any rate. You're lucky if there's a crosswalk with a ramp; sometimes it just _ends_. |
There's a sidewalk a few blocks from me, that ends precipitously with a 6-to-10 inch drop onto light rail tracks. There's an arm to stop traffic, but there's no sidewalk crossing. Every so often, I see someone in an electric wheelchair, merging with car & truck traffic, because that's the only way through. |
hahah. yeaaa come to think of it, people walking across the tracks here nearly hit the arm posts or walk into traffic |
Its just assumed you drive slowly behind them, or take the oncoming lane.. |
There's literally no sidewalk across though. It just ends with no warning, you have to get out in the middle of the street, & then about 30 or 50 feet later you can get over on the sidewalk again. |
There are other places all around town where the light rail crosses walkways & bikeways almost flush with ground level; hardly a bump crossing it. |
This is a drop of death onto bare tracks. Even on foot, I sometimes go out into the street to walk across it. |
It's not a low traffic street, either. Traffic light, rail crossing, ~quarter mile of low grade, light rail, stop sign before the park, traffic light at the top of the hill. Cars coming up the hill are often doing about 30 MPH, until they come over the rise far enough to see someone in the road. |
And someone in a wheelchair is _low._ |
