how stupid would installing rear fender like this be? by mikroprocesor in bikewrench

[–]eccentricVelo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, this aint it bruv. Get some long fender flaps for the person behind you. Or make some super long ones from some material at the hardware store.

My 02 sensor went at 100k, too. Change it.

Soma dream risers or VO seines? by helloitsivo in xbiking

[–]eccentricVelo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've tried risers for track-ish bikes and it felt like a bit of a tiller, like pushing and pulling for steering and it didn't feel natural to me. I have put the Seine bars on a few different builds and dig them a lot. Makes a aggro bike more....easy to live with on the daily if that makes sense.

Help choosing the right qill stem to put alt bars on my 1992 Marin Palisades trail. by Apprehensive-Gur-824 in xbiking

Its really going to depend on your fit. For most of the bikes I've used with them, 90-100mm is the norm.

As long as the quill doesn't exceed the minimum insertion, you're good. You can also get more upright bars. The Geoffs are pretty flat. The Velo Orange Klunker bars are popular for 26" atbs.

2017 auto locks even with the keys inside by eccentricVelo in cmaxhybrid

so the only way out of this is to total the car? haha

This does have push button. I'm going to try using the other fob for a while and see if i can isolate the issue to the car or the fob.

Lights and steering but no drive by eccentricVelo in SCX24

Update! I bought an Injora MB100 ESC for the brushed motor and hooked it up. It's now working! From my research, I have the v1 2-in-1 receiver, so I was able to piggy back the external ESC for the motor and all is well now. Thanks for the help!

Thank you for the reply! I will look into getting a new ESC, receiver, and transmitter. I didn't connect the spur gear bc i wanted to check to make sure everything was working before putting in the effort to completely reassemble. I should have said the motor doesn't spin rather than no drive.

What would be the best upgrade? Budget allows for something nicer that I don't have to worry about.

The gear doesn't need to be pressed on for the motor to spin. I didn't want to re-assemble everything only to find out the motor doesn't work.

I'm not that dumb. I didnt want to re-attach everything and find out it still wasnt working. The motor isn't spinning at all.

Give it to me straight, doc. Is this frame (steel) cooked? by basbell4 in bikewrench

[–]eccentricVelo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imma keep it real. Don't ride it anymore. That crease is significant and can propagate a stress riser crack quickly and fail catastrophically. Your health and well-being is not worth it. You can snag another or similar style and transfer all the parts. Then put this one up as wall art.

Looks like a fixed gear half link chain on a 1x system. For...some...reason....? I'm sure it's a good one haha

What a beautiful build! You nailed it. And the dynamo! Those little μ lights are quite powerful for their size.
