it wont
unless u disable the clutch
me and mark (well mark already has it) gonna be using a Lightning rods motor
https://lightning-rods10.mybigcommerce.com/single-stage-big-block-middrive-rhd/
which since like the cyclone has external reduction it can regen
(cyclone would need the freewheel motor sprocket replaced with a non-freewheel version)
yea, though the cyclones sprocket is just a regular one so easy to do
just a tiny bit of brake squeal
Hehe.
loud brakes save lives
hahahahhahahahah
Prob 10x more true then the line they normally spout.
holy heck thats a hell of a squeek
I remember having had squeky breaks hated it, had to toss the padds and clean the disks
My front pads gives a good low grinding RRRR but nothing like that video. Like what can I spray on them for them to make that noise? Bug spray maybe? Hmmm.
Mine squeeled horribly until I bedded them. Even then when cold or wet they screech. Good ol 203mm with metallic pads
Mine where bedded in, but got contaminated
AAA
I stripped one of the bottle bosses
as in the thread that goes into the frame
Rivnut
It's possible to slightly open it a bit more, make sure to fully deburr, then install a rivnut.
that could work
luckily I had a wolf tooth mounting base in my parts bin
it uses straps
Mine screech when cold too and it's really annoying >w>
Put oil on the brake pads and brake discs that’ll fix it
I don't want to fix it it's great for automatically getting lost people off the bike lane since I'm braking for them anyway
Lol
Thats the kind of dual use innovation we really need
If you’re feeling cold this winter, buy UPP
As a Brit what is that strange white substance it's sitting in
:distT:
oh he was just very Lucky to have that snow cone machine around
UPP: not if I’m going to fail but when
This video was apparently taken 20 minutes after it went kaput
man is so brave to be playing with that thing on bare hands
youre not supposed to let the magic smoke out
Nor breathe it in
are rivnuts the same thing as threaded inserts?
no
threaded inserts are press fit or heated
rivnuts are rivets
that have threaded hole
theres also jacknuts
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmZBVSMBs0E
see how it compresses and makes it so a thin piece has more thread
wow rivnuts are awesome
too bat they require a tool
u can make the tool
its just a bolt and some washers
thrust bearing is recommended and those are chea[
a bolt the same size as the thread?
yes
pretty much a few washers and nuts to tigten and pull it upwards
u can get a cheap tool to begin with
does it need to be a hex head bolt or similar or will a regular socket cap screw work?
tool with a bunch of rivnuts in various sizes https://www.amazon.com/Performance-Tool-W2006-Riveting-Included/dp/B01M08ERVF/ref=sr_1_8?crid=3J3LDXOYMFE9X&keywords=rivnut+hand+tool&qid=1670992156&sprefix=rivnut+hand+tool%2Caps%2C86&sr=8-8
pretty cheap
yeah but I don't want more tools
yea I think mine was like $20
Then do it the hard way with a bolt and some nuts
https://www.amazon.com/Coasta-Simple-Installation-Riveter-Accessory/dp/B09YCZ83NM/ref=sr_1_48?crid=3J3LDXOYMFE9X&keywords=rivnut+hand+tool&qid=1670992197&sprefix=rivnut+hand+tool%2Caps%2C86&sr=8-48
yep
heres one already setyup for u with the different size bolts nuts and thrust bearings
thought again u can just do it urself
ull want a thrust bearing in the size u need, and washers
itll cost u more than just the tool
and the tool does a rnage of em
trust me once u got rivnuts, ull find uses everywhere
right so is a socket cap screw ok or is there a risk that I might strip the screw? I don't know how much torque it takes to screw in a rivnut
ull want a hex to be honest
so u can use wrenches
ok thanks
it's going to be a little harder to find a metric hex bolt
what size
apparently M5 is the standard screw size for bottle bosses on bikes
wow I had a brain idea
could you use rivnuts to add mounting holes to an aluminum fork?
on second thought that might weaken the fork too much
https://www.mcmaster.com/hex-head-bolts/high-strength-metric-class-10-9-steel-hex-head-screws/
do not use rivnuts in stress areas
thanks, I'll check hardware stores first though
after all I just need 1
u need grade 10.9 or more
it would be amazing if they have metric rivnuts too
thats for a single thrust bearing
5mm ID needle
makes sense considering it's for the battery
the seat tube is usually in compression right?
@mark c In compression and shear/torque, converting to tension
aka basically all forces possible.
oh dear
Hi
üëì
@Akbar Yikes. Strip so far off the pos they blew holes in it by welding it to air
Just saw that on FB, shocking
And I thought I was bad at welding :pepe_kek:
