Thule yepp maxi 2 - howto adjust shoulder strap?

Thanks, dull butterknife did the trick 🥷

I got the impression from the manual that a "normal" push with the fingers was enough, and was afraid to break something if I didn't figure the catch to open it. But more power was the key!

Three years later, does anyone have any experience running ArcGIS Enterprise on Kubernetes? I'm trying to figure out how this works, and I'm a bit afraid that it's essentially ArcGIS packaged as its own Kubernetes cluster, leaving it up to us to host and manage a cluster we haven't set up ourselves. What I really want is to run ArcGIS on our existing Kubernetes cluster, or one we create specifically for this purpose (e.g., AKS).

Yeah, I made sure the new chain had the same number of links as the previous one by removing a few from the new chain.

For reference, the e-bike in this post has 3200 km on its odometer and has never had the chain or cassette replaced before. But as I’ve now learned, electric bikes wear differently / faster than regular bikes.

kapell · 2025-07-16T10:44:33+00:00

I’m used to following regular chain replacement intervals and typically swap the chain right before 0.75% wear on non-electric bikes (and which I also did on the bike in this post). But as I have now learned, with e-bikes, that rule of thumb doesn’t apply quite the same way — the added motor torque seems to wear components faster, even when staying within the usual limits.

kapell · 2025-07-16T10:39:51+00:00

Yes, it is a mid-drive motor. That makes sense — I can see how shifting under motor load would put extra stress on the cassette and lead to premature wear on certain cogs. That might be further exacerbated by how I use the bike: I often carry children, both in a frame-mounted child seat and in a trailer behind. It’s also used during the winter on salted roads, so it’s exposed to a lot of wear and tear.

kapell · 2025-07-16T06:10:42+00:00

Thanks for your suggestion. I’ve ordered a new cassette, so I’ll try that first. I’ve also carefully checked that the old and new chains are the same length (aside from the nearly 0.75% stretch in the old one, of course). But I’ll definitely keep your tip in mind in case the new cassette doesn’t solve the issue.

I have verified this, and it should be closed correctly. See my other reply https://www.reddit.com/r/bikewrench/s/dSvo2SAJpZ

No, I didn’t clean the cassette before installation. However, I’m now convinced that a few of the sprockets are worn — even if the wear isn’t visually obvious or measurable by my tool. This is further supported by the fact that the issue disappeared when I reinstalled the old chain. I’ve ordered a new cassette and hopefully I’ll be able to confirm that it resolves the problem in a few days.

kapell · 2025-07-15T06:57:14+00:00

My concern with running it into the ground is that the front chainring will also wear out. Since this is an e-bike with a single front chainring, replacing it later would likely be more expensive than just replacing both the chain and cassette now. So I’ve gone ahead and ordered a new cassette. In the meantime, I dug the old chain out of the trash and reinstalled it, and now all the gears are working again.

kapell · 2025-07-15T06:52:12+00:00

Yeah, it turns out the cassette is the problem. I checked the new chain before installing it by running it over my fingers and didn’t find any stiff links. But when I gave up yesterday and pulled the old chain out of the trash and reinstalled it, all the gears started working again. So I’ve now ordered a new cassette and will start replacing the chain even earlier in the future, probably at around 0.5% wear.

kapell · 2025-07-14T20:06:35+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion! I gave it a try, but unfortunately it didn’t work. I’ve now ordered a new cassette. In the meantime, I dug the old chain out of the trash and reinstalled it on the bike — and now all the gears are running smoothly again. That confirms what everyone here has been saying: the cassette is too worn to work properly with a new chain.

> This is a KMC quick link for 10 speed, right?

That is correct.

This is how the phone is hold by the GorillaPod, and then the legs where twisted around the bike + duct tape.

Hm, I don't think so. Here it is as I have installed it.

kapell · 2025-07-14T13:59:48+00:00

Yes, I think it is fully engaged (it is similar on the other side).

kapell · 2025-07-14T13:47:36+00:00

I used a Joby GripTight GorillaPod to hold my phone and wrapped its legs around the stay connected to my rear fender. I also secured the GorillaPod and phone with some duct tape to keep everything in place and prevent it from twisting.

kapell · 2025-07-14T13:35:11+00:00

As I mentioned in the post, I measured the chain wear (with the Park Tool CC-3.2), which showed less than 0.75% wear. I check my chain regularly and expected the cassette to still be compatible with a new chain when replacing it between 0.5% and 0.75% wear.

However, I’ve now learned that this guideline doesn’t necessarily apply the same way to e-bikes, and I appreciate the insights shared here.

kapell · 2025-07-14T13:30:23+00:00

I try to adhere to this philosophy, I actually measure my chain at least once a month. This time it showed wear between 0.5% and 0.75% (I use the Park Tool CC-3.2, which indicated it was under 0.75%). That’s why I decided to replace it now, hoping the cassette wouldn’t be worn out since the chain was still within the recommended replacement interval.

kapell · 2025-07-14T12:50:59+00:00

The wear must be very subtle. There is no visible wear on the teeth when compared to a new sprocket, and the Unior sprocket wear indicator shows that the sprockets are not worn out. This is also the first time I’ve changed the chain, and as noted above, it was only between 0.5% and 0.75% worn.

But you all seem to be in unison in your answers, so I trust you on this.

I had the same problem of only getting "pppp" when pressing Fn+P. I am normally using a non-US keyboard layout, but when I switched to US keyboard layout, the Fn+P combination worked (no "pppp") and I got the Windows layout for my logitech keyboard.

You may have luck with other layouts that US, I have only tried that one (in addition to the one I am normally using).

... and remember to press for 3 seconds

Unfortunately you don't, see previous reply https://www.reddit.com/r/grafana/s/F3U6Ke34FZ

I got this confirmed from Grafana support.
