    Bike jobs that took WAY longer than you ever imagined

    I think the caliper and zip tie conspired to flock with you. I'd bet the brake pads were in on it too

    Well you did all that's doable. Using voltage becomes second nature after a few weeks

    500C Display - Battery Meter never changes?

    Welcome to Bafang. Supposedly they are functional when used with a Bafang battery.. Continue to ride down to 48v and see what happens, but at that point it's useless in my opinion. And are you sure it is set up for a 52v battery in the display settings... if it even has that feature as there...

    500C Display - Battery Meter never changes?

    Most of them show 100% until the battery drops at least 5v from full. There's nothing to do... But how far have you drained down the battery in volts? That said you answered your own question... Just forget about the % and familiarize yourself with using the Voltage reading.

    Should I Buy A Pedal Wrench?

    The gritty dust from the gravel roads is Nasty. It gets everywhere and grinds away at every moving part that it gets into. They spray the roads down with liquid potassium (and/or calcium) chloride solution to keep the dust down, then the dusty grit is corrosive too. I dealt with this for a...

    Should I Buy A Pedal Wrench?

    Yeah... and 50 hours is a load of crap too. I've been lucky with 5000mi and no blowouts.. but I'm also good about keeping it clean. I also lube the "male" shaft about twice a month with Slickoleum. Nothing worse than trying to put it in dry on a sandy beach.

    Should I Buy A Pedal Wrench?

    So still nothing on rim failure due to valve hole? I bet that's not the case with a DT Swiss rim failure.

    Should I Buy A Pedal Wrench?

    Should I Buy A Pedal Wrench?

    Maybe try and educate yourself focusing on reading comprehension. Paraphrasing my initial statement... Only necessary on thin road racing rims. Try again

    Should I Buy A Pedal Wrench?

    I'm not having an issue getting my tire to the desired pressure but if you are.. it's the air chuck you are using. Ones with a bleed button make things easy. Alternatively... Fill the tire 1 psi heavy and then use a digital guage with a bleed button to be dead_on_balls accurate.

    Should I Buy A Pedal Wrench?

    Well I do know first hand and I also know that the only crap here is what you are spewing. A double wall rim is not exotic... so you can get over yourself. My point is that I have never seen nor heard of any rim failing at the valve hole. So your precieved need for Presta is imagined.

    Should I Buy A Pedal Wrench?

    Yes because an air valve is under the same stress as a tensioned spoke

    Should I Buy A Pedal Wrench?

    They must come with some type of certificate or diploma as that's your default answer to everything you know. So do they drop that on the floor so you have to bend over and pick it up... Or is that only with the bill of sale?
