you do realise derailleurs are not meant to be perishable
Assuming, lubricante with propor lubricant
i had a chinese chain for this 11speed gravel build, wiped it down and lubed it like every couple of rides
Chain sticking and derailleur folding and snapping
fully stretched like 600 miles in not even ebike
lol wtf
basically he doesnt know how to take care of a bike
considering how rusted he let the first one go
I don't maintain it that well
this takes skill
please do in the future if ya manage to get either sorted lmao
It's my sole transportation
Yeah I hope so
So you **Should have** taken more care :/ lol
Yes definitely lol
Basically drivetrain maintenance
sole transportation rusted, no rear brake
front brake comically mounted to be useless
i too like to stand over my handlebars when i pull the front brake
ü§£ the bolt actually isn't tightened yet
gets me extra airtime
I was using Regen for my brakes
The other bike has no brakes at all
But I'm saving up for some
I had some good 4piston hydros
Dont go for clarks m4s
Till the pads wire and piston popped out
Wore
Wow you abusing tf outta the bike lol
LoL I know
I tow heavy loads too in trailers
fk lol
You really need to get your bike in tip top condition to be doing that
how do hydro cables wear out
theres no cables in them its liquid
typo i think
Ive snapped countless sprockets on my Cadettes and freewheels
Meant to say wore not wire, autocorrected me
how do hydraulic lines pop out
The piston from pad wear
What im confused about is how much bare metal u must have gone through to let the pistons shit emselves out
so you ran the break pads to the metal and never noticed
I noticed, just didn't have a backup
And being my sole method of transportation, didn't want to stop using the bike
£8 in brake pads
And shipping takes 2 weeks to a month to get here
Should have noticed it beforehand
no local shop?
Had the brake pads come but then it's been too late
well a bleed kits like £15 and
2 and a half hour car drive away
you can just reinsert the pistons
better than waiting 2weeks and riding an unsafe bike
I'll get a kit and more pads
Also
My frames dropout I grinded, to accomodate my larger axle
could've unhardened the dropouts
I broke a derailleur hangar too when my derailleur snapped
Also , this is how I usually snap sprockets
Yo I love the off-road trailer. Also sorry bout the hangar, usually they’re replaceable
@Melez thanks man , check out this one I used to tow around

Ok. That’s hilarious/amazing
That looks pretty mad haha! But it looks hella heavy, which leads me to think braking must be horrible lol
lol note how slow he goes down that hill.. and that thing is just hoppen lol
I like the quick break-away when it tipped over at about 1:15 in the vid. Doesn't look like it pulled on the bike much at all.
lol I missed that.. holy it rolled on that tiny hill/rut
man, suspension be important lol
also lol at that thing having a chimdy
like how many times has he had to replace it from getting smashed in a rollover lol
Actually none , it only rolled over about 3 times , trick is to be careful, next one is gonna have 24inch wheels instead of 26, as well it probably weighs only about 120-150 lbs . I had some good 4 piston brakes when I was towing it . Biggest problem was keeping balance because the hitch being so far back
Oh wow didn't realize that was yours
Note that in granny gear on bbshd because of chainline issues and heavy load uphill I busted off a sprocket a couple times
Quite the cargo capacity there. you'd get along well with @Yadi
I am working on another all around trailer and also a utility trailer
Did the front of the trailer have a foot or something?
I think the heavy est load I've towed was around 350-400lbs. But that's just asking for a broken sprocket. The bbshd was crawling up that hill
lol.
Yes for when I was stationary, I used old crutches and hinges that locked into place
Yea iv folded over a sprocket with my cyclone before.. was brand new too
Just didn't use 1st/2nd gear for 2 weeks till I replaced it lol
Makes me wanna find/ build a heavyer duty drivetrain
(wanted to get at least SOME use outta that sprocket)
LoL same
Yeaa.. I really want like, a 3 speed
50%/100%/150%
but they are all 85/100/115% and that is just lammeee
Twas looking at em too they are all just too less teeth
and the 7 speeds that will handle middrives are $$$$$
Too much $$$ to risk wrecking one..
Which ones are you talking about
I forget, but there are some known for holding up under e-bike stress but IIRC they are like $600+?
I had a few labeled heavy duty for ebike they still broke on me
Oh shit
Never mind
yea lol
and like, the old nvinchi(?) CVT hubs
(that are also like $600+ when they where still made..)
If I knew how to weld , tediously, possible could try to rig something up
