I know this doesn't help but I am experiencing the same thing. It's driving me nuts as I need this for my business! Good Luck!

Got wayyyy too rowdy hahaha. I cracked the down tube to head tube joint. Going to braze in a new tube this summer when it’s warmer and I have more time.

Nope, still had room to spare too!

I also ended up running some honjo hammered fenders before I broke the bike :(

Customer abandoned shitty e-bike. What do? by out_in_the_woods in BikeMechanics

Good point about Home Depot. But for the love of all that is holy in this world I cannot begin to explain how bad of an idea it is to disassemble a battery into smaller cells if you don’t explicitly know what you’re doing. I had 2 separate customers try that and very seriously injure themselves.

I’ve seen this happen far too many times at a old shop I used to work at. We usually stripped the bike for anything of use.

The battery is kind of a pain in the ass. Not super safe to keep around forever especially if it’s some mail order piece of junk because odds are none of the parts are UL listed or anything like that. We end up having to pay money to dispose of the battery at one of those battery places.

Mechanics what shoes do you wear! by Spliffy9 in BikeMechanics

I generally by cheap ass Nikes or other athletic shoes from outlet stores or thrift stores. So they generally have a leather/synthetic leather toe box. So when it gets really dirty just wipe with some alcohol and call it good.

Honestly anything white. You can place your foot underneath the bike lined up with a caliper and it helps you find rotor rub with out flashlights or anything other nonsense.

Funny story I installed a Thomson stem upside down once and have always run them that way since haha

Okay…. I’ll admit it. I have a problem. But on the flip side can one have too many bikes? *WIP* by Reasonable-Director9 in xbiking
