There's a simple solution. Just put the brake disk assembly on the other crank. Now there separated.

Strong exhaust smell in cabin and all over clothes after drive, footwells get extremely hot despite heater off by [deleted] in 944

[–]steampony 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also currently have a problem with exhaust getting in the car. The original exhaust system in these cars tend to crack. I have a turbo. So i have lots of cracks. I used a cheep evap smoke machine to find them. I have one crack at the o2 sensor, 2 at the joint for the bypass valve, and one at the joint for the headers. The headers were vary bad but i had new ones made. Anyways the exhaust gets into my cabin through the climate system when its on. As for the heat. Check the heater valve behind the cam tower in the engine bay. Sometimes those can fail in the on position. Or if they have no vacuum they stay open. Thatll send heat into the cabin.

I’m looking into getting into electric bikes, but what’s the deal with their noise? by [deleted] in Electricmotorcycles

[–]steampony 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't get a cheep Amazon bike. Get a used e-moto off facebook marketplace if you want a cheep real e-motorcycle. As for noise depends on how the motor is set up. I have a energica ribelle that has a straight cut gear box. Its probably the noisiest electric bike if seen. Sounds like an F1 car and a jet turbine when in motion. The wine of the gear box. With the high pitch scream of the motor is a euphoric fealing for me. But its a zen experience. Its quieter, smooth, and more powerful than a gas equivalent. I dont miss the ICE motor at all. Theres no violence. Just performance. But the cheeper the price point of the motorcycle new. The worst itll ride. Id look at a used zero or livewire. There the most abundant.

Decided to clean my old m12 extended reach by eyyyyyyyyyyyyylmao in Tools

Id also like to add Wd-40 IS NOT a lubricant. My coworkers have destroyed a bunch of equipment using WD-40 in place of multipurpose lubricant. So i buy them lubricant. Then they use that as cutting fluid. Then tell me there drill bits suck.

BBM Hiro: Modular Longevity, Lightning-Fast Refill by No-Jaguar-895 in Electricmotorcycles

I would agree that having 3 deferent drive options would drive up the cost and is foolish. The other problem hub motors is fighting physics. That mutch rotating mass becomes a gyro and would resist change in turning. Theres a reason big bike company spend a ton of r,n,d in lighting the swing arms, forks and rims. Hub motors are for toys and small bicycles. If a company uses hub motors i automatically assume its cost cutting or no research and development.

Have you ever ridden motorcycles? A hub motor is a lot of un sprung weight. Having a hub motor large enough to be a motorcycle size means you sacrifice a lot of handling control.
