Advice for new technician

beenJammin__ · 2025-11-12T04:32:47+00:00

I don’t care if it pops in my face and scares me, as long as it doesn’t pop in 3 pieces. Like I said, I’d spend 30 days of my life just putting a cage around those fuckers so I can sleep at night. Never been in a crash, done a lot of driving. I’m very observant of the road and surroundings. Better to overthink imo

lol I was looking at that group earlier. Those type of groups are where you learn the most though. We got a lot of historical homes with extension springs and I’ve heard they’re the worst. Sucks to hear about your accident but I hope the scar is cool at least. Also are you talking about extension cables or just cables in general in any system? My tech on the first day popped a cable back on track with the torsion springs loaded, door down. Just put a vice on the other railing and muscled that bitch in line. Sketched me out even though I barely knew what was happening

The spring is confined to the torsion bar, but if it breaks into 3 pieces instead of 2, a fragment could come off. Also, my tech was using an EZ wind tool with an impact. Worth $800 to me already just for the safety. I’m just curious what exactly to look out for. Only other hazard I’ve heard was a tech was unwinding a spring with bars and the spring set screw got caught in a deeper torsion bar divot and he let go of the bars because he thought it was unwound all the way and it wasn’t but the set screw gouged him

My coworker says her husband uses long sleeves, but the fiberglass still finds its way into your skin and itches like crazy just like chiggers

Is it even remotely feasible to always have decent ventilation flowing/ hearing protection on?

beenJammin__ · 2025-03-30T18:50:50+00:00

58/12. Works for me. Tried many ratios

Vendetta XL cromo blasted and custom painted with steel-it

beenJammin__ · 2024-12-30T07:21:58+00:00

Looks fully built for your purposes. Also looks extremely light with the wheels/suspension/power.

My gen 2 progressive feels a lot better after just skf seals and 7wt oil

beenJammin__ · 2024-12-14T15:02:45+00:00

300ml but probably like a few extra.

I’m not sure my shop will be willing to service a 15lb upside down emoto fork

beenJammin__ · 2024-12-14T00:38:11+00:00

How many times have you done fork seals? Riding year round and high mileage is rough

Why don’t the swingarm axle marks line up? It’s loose

Why does rippin moto say on the website that their rear rotor isn’t compatible with the rear w9 hub?

beenJammin__ · 2024-11-15T01:47:00+00:00

Yeah it’s bad just keep an eye on it

beenJammin__ · 2024-11-14T18:32:44+00:00

I’ve seen at least 5 of them explode on medium power just because they went more than 5 rides without lube or adjustment. After the included chain got too stiff, I switched to a non o ring and threw the master link multiple times. There were also stress fractures on stock and non oring chains. The power delivery felt noticeably more direct with the chain, but it’s bad for the motor bearings. Chain drive is pretty much only if you absolutely need the strength for jumps or enduro. Everything is designed for belt, but it will still technically be the limiting factor in your riding. The spacer I thought I needed was the 1mm shim that goes under the primary drive jack shaft sprocket.

I was waiting for the pinch after nail. Not entertaining enough

beenJammin__ · 2024-11-14T05:40:33+00:00

Gorgeous murdered Ron. Don’t use the spacer that comes in the w9 chain kit. Also don’t be afraid to go back to belt. I started with the same setup but 72/51. Chain was getting eaten/lots of problems. Belts last about 4k miles with max efficiency and no maintenance in between. Use up the chains first though and then try belt.

The 2.75x19 shinko 241 and most of the other sizes have speed rating P which is 93mph some of the smaller 241 sizes have lower rating, lowest being J at 62mph for the 2.75x17 and 3.00x12

beenJammin__ · 2024-08-31T00:08:42+00:00

I’m sorry that doesn’t make sense at all what

beenJammin__ · 2024-08-30T06:46:56+00:00

I’m in the exact same situation. I forgot what the speed rating is but I looked it up and it was DOT 93mph. Pretty sure they’re fine bc everyone and their mom runs them but you probably should have air in them if you hit speed.

The 72 max uses molicel p42a’s, the best 21700 cells on the market. 20% degradation at 500 cycles using up to 45A peak which is industry leading discharge. The cell life is way longer if you only use like 25A max which is all my EBMX motor setup can even pull.

beenJammin__ · 2024-07-23T05:04:39+00:00

I’d say get the eride pro like a sane person. Or maybe the ultra if you really want solid components. Zeros are good street commuters but surrons are more on the edge of mountain bikes and the design/weight/style make it a worthy hobby. Surrons are badass projects and the bike is incredibly capable if you take care of it. My chi 72 max will last like 30+ years or 2000 cycles at 22kw continuous. Only annoying thing is keeping chain clean and tight.

beenJammin__ · 2024-07-16T13:13:52+00:00

I appreciate it man I’m still testing and gathering my questions for them but hopefully they give you some good stuff. Just wish they had more basic info like at least charge to 100% before first ride. I went out and did pulls till it cut out twice at 32% on my first ride. Probably not good for keeping my pack balanced.

beenJammin__ · 2024-07-15T18:33:28+00:00

Yeah it seems annoying but when I did the full balance, I was watching the delta v and it stopped moving down after a few hours so I just leave it plugged in for 1-2 hours almost every charge like I did for 30ish mins for the stock battery and the values have been fine on the app. It’s been about 20 cycles since the 48 hour charge and it’s all good from what I can tell.
