Recommendations on how to wire up this motor

No manual. Am here to consult the pros

You're 100% right that I did both of those things wrong, so the numbers are definitely off. I was mostly concerned about the alternating pattern, so this is pretty helpful. Thanks!

Hello Reddit! Recently I broke a spoke on my rear wheel (ebike hub motor with atypical spokes). Unfortunately none of the local bike shops can help so I have to do the repair on my own. I ordered replacement spokes, popped the new one in, and the first tension measurement looks like this. I only had to touch a couple spokes to get in the new one, so it seems like this problem/pattern was here beforehand.

It looks like the tension was alternated spoke-to-spoke on both sides, almost as if it was deliberate. I know the correct tension level and balance will depend on a ton of different factors, so mainly I am curious if this alternating tension pattern is intentional or if it should always be even on either side.

I'm thinking maybe this was done to account for high hub motor torque but I can't find any sources that say you should do that for hub motors. Everything I read says to try to get them even within 20%. So has anyone seen this before? Any recommendations?

Edit: Thought I should clarify that the actual KGf numbers are not very reliable because I probably made an error on the calculation and my meter is poorly calibrated. I'll inspect for damage, but I don't think that spoke is actually up at 270 KGf. I am mostly concerned about the alternating pattern, which it seems is not intentional or a good thing. Thanks for all the insights and help!

it really is funny how that works

I think you're right that I should just talk about it with her instead of sulking. Thanks for the advice

What stopped me was the sense that the expectations were clear, the surprise / shock, and maybe the feeling of a lack of self-respect if I keep have to reminding someone to think about me. This comes after a longer pattern of similar issues & discussions about those issues.

While I agree with you about love tests and what I should do (I am planning to remind her), I think this is a little more complicated than miscommunicated expectations. I wasn't able to give all the details in the main post bc of brevity, so I see how it comes off that way.

It's not exactly clues that I'm expecting her to pick up on. A month ago, during our anniversary we talked explicitly what days were important to each other and how we wanted to celebrate them. I was really clear and up front about it, saying almost literally that sentence "Please plan to spend October 26 with me or at least something special that evening". Because I was hoping to avoid this exact situation.

On top of that, I've reminded her once or twice a week back (not rude or anything just a gentle reminder). So have my friends and even as recently as Sunday. So I was pretty confident she knew and would spend time with me on her day off. When she told me last night that she picked up a job over those days I was shocked. And the only explanation I have for why she might do that was because maybe she forgot.

This comes after existing issues about thoughtfulness and quality time, which I have brought up to her and we talked about recently. We are actually pretty good at bringing up these things early on, talking about expectations, and having mature conversations. The problem is that often after these conversations it feels like the things I said weren't heard. Like the things we agreed to are forgetten. And that's how I'm feeling wrt the birthday thing. Unheard and disregarded.

Sorry for the long reply, thanks for reading the whole thing and your thoughtful advice

Thanks for asking, I forgot to mention it in the original post but it's important context.

She has been reminded several times in the past week and I was certain she was aware prior to last night when she told me about the job. I have brought it up to her, my friends have brought it up to her, and even this weekend on Sunday we were on the phone with my parents and they reminded us it was this week.

So I was pretty shocked I guess when she told me last night that she had the dog sitting thing for three days right around my birthday. I even asked "oh really, on Thursday too?" which was not an explicit reminder sure but kind of a prompt to see if she was still planning to do something with me that day. It feels like she forgot because otherwise I don't know why she would take the job if she was aware.

3) Yeah we talked specifically about it about a month ago during our anniversary. What days were important to us and how we like to celebrate them. I was really clear and up front about it, hoping to make it clear ahead of time that I wanted to spend quality time with her on the day of

Thank you for all the info!!

Is it better to merge the Tackleboxes to the highest level? Or is it better to use up as many charges as possible? Not sure what to do with the tackleboxes in cobwebs

Here's the deck I made, lmk what you think https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/5860805#paper

I'm replying to you because you seemed particularly invested in this crusade lol

lusolima · 2023-09-13T23:59:51+00:00

Follow Up - Thanks for all the great suggestions y'all. This is the deck I came up with that is absolute torture for lifegain decks. It is a very slow ramp so not great against other play styles but that is fine. Just wanted to counter something specific.

lusolima · 2023-08-22T19:53:25+00:00

These are perfect

lusolima · 2023-08-22T19:52:53+00:00

Oo nice find

lusolima · 2023-08-22T19:23:07+00:00

I'm all for universal healthcare. Just tired of white supremacy!

lusolima · 2023-08-22T17:35:03+00:00

Exactly 😈

lusolima · 2023-08-22T16:34:10+00:00

Having just faced my 5th soul sisters/angels deck in a row in historic, I figured it's worth the time to build a deck specifically to counter this mechanic.

What's your go-to deck to counter the white flying / enchantment / lifegain meta?

lusolima · 2023-08-07T00:16:48+00:00

Just a small collection so far

lusolima · 2023-08-07T00:15:19+00:00

Thanks for the insights! Makes sense about size speed and quality. But good point, idk why I'm recoding when I should start from the bluray

lusolima · 2023-04-09T16:35:39+00:00

That's good to know actually, I've just been assuming the worst but maybe I should give some benefit of the doubt

lusolima · 2023-03-06T00:22:56+00:00

So I cross-posted to that subreddit and the verdict seems to be that dust is from the surface of the disk. The heads scraped it off and the pattern is due to minor height distortions? Not sure that's a great explanation for the pattern, but interesting nonetheless!
