the fire brigade arrived only a bit after it's burned out completely because of the remote location, and no one was hurt
it was a custom build for around $3500, i wonder what they guy did wrong for it to just go up in flames
Shoddily assembled battery, fell apart during the ride from the vibrations most likely
probably didn't have a battery assembled by the guy who assembled it
"custom build" == some dude ordering square packs off aliexpress to try to make a buck off the $300 stealth bomber frame
well no the guy custom built it for himself
from the ground up
or at least that's what he told the fire guys they're the one who provided info there
okay, "custom build" == some dude ordering square packs off aliexpress
ok yeah fair
if you're buying the $300 cheapest-possible stealth bomber frame, go figure
:P
Probably knows very little about batteries or eBikes
now he knows a bit more
found it the hard way
Frame snapped at the weld point while 6 miles from home… was an unpleasant walk lol
oof
@Monte torque arms?
To be fair, this is a frame failure not a dropout failure
Yes, I know
Most likely the frame was defective or overstressed
Like how some people ignorantly do jumps on hub motors ya know
But the point is, better a defective frame with torque arms than without
And certainly more stress is going into that part of it without
Wow, first iv seen a frame failure back there.
Looks like there is a pivot visible? so full suspension with a very skinny swingarm..
Yeah
My take is the frames both a little defective, no torque arm, and tough riding with the motor
Probably a bunch of factors
Id need to see more of the geometry, but I think that is one of those frames where the top swingarm is the one with suspension, so it would basically be trying to twist that bottom member every time it went over a bump... Well, that and I bet the motor torque has to go all through that bottom member
Yeah
Woah that's wild
@StarTrak I bought the cheapest bomber clone frame, idk if im a guy that know as little as possible on batteries or ebikes :>
Big oof
Lawsuit time
Uk that ebike can't get given back
Maybe as a offroad vehicle?
Or maybe he can just get the battery back at least
Yes but it was seized when on road
Ye it wasn't the owner on it so only real way would be lying and saying that guy stole it
But if some one takes a offroad vehicle on the road while test driving it, I believe he might be able to argue into getting it back.
he could claim it to be an unfinished msva project or something
Yea
Who says block in the uk
The only blocks we have is a block of flats
That's usa there
It's a carrera
And the bike is seized
and of course i ripped a brake line
ugh
....*how*
fell off kickstand last weekend
running magura MT4s
overnighted a new line, hopefully it'll be in thursday and then i'll swap it out and get the joy of bleeding those things again
wish someone would make a repair coupling kit for those, automotive brake lines are easy, i'd flare both ends and put a flare-flare fitting on it
I say block lol
And yes it’s U.K.
But are you Jenny from the
Run forest
Owkay jenay
@Akbar you see that’s the issue with the current state of things in about any country. Logical thing would be, you test drive something before buying it (you borrow it), you fuck yourself up and the bike can’t be given back for whatever reason, it’s on you
You pay that guy the bike he lost
You pay whatever wealth insurance or cost you need to pay
And you take responsibility :> even if it wasn’t your fault, because the car hit you blabla, it’s still your problem with the guy that lent you the bike. THEN you see with the car guy that hit you
Shit should be like that
Well it was like that long time ago, and heck police wouldn’t come to loot what they can, they’d help
^^ this is why the phrase 'cash in hand' means 'cash in YOUR hand, before THEY get to drive it'
Comes back damaged? Congrats on your purchase!
They sure did loot what they could lmao
Come to think of it, I wonder if it was a scam?
"oh hi, I hurt myself and this totally real cop took your bike. Yea. Also I can't come back and talk, going to hospital"
Not a scam
The guy video called the owner showing the ambulance and police van arrive
ah.
Holy shit, Ive never thought about it but thats exactly how it should be done
Prevents theft too omg
Thanks, this will definitely be useful
Going downhill, had my brakes partially engaged, suddenly lost pressure on the front hydro brake, HORRIBLE noises, still brakes but the braking power is severely diminished and it sounds like the rotor is bent somehow
notably doesnt *look* bent
but its rubbing off something once per rev
Check pad life
I only bought them nigh 3 weeks ago they *should* be fine, but i'll do that anyways
Pads compatible with rotor?
You don’t want to use metal pads with resin only rotors
Check how thick the rotor is as well, someone had a rotor where it sanded down and became paper thin
I have a weird noise on the front brake too 🤔
How can I tell if a rotor is metallic/resin only?
Manual? üò∞
...rotors do not typically come with *manuals*
it's this thing but in 180 anyways
i think
agh
my pads are worn unevenly
one side is better than the other, and the pads have a sloped wear to them
Typically written on the disc itself
it only says tektro and i was wrong its a 160
rotor is 1.8mm
measured
Okay so
I don't know what caused it
