    Torque Washers and Torque Arms

    Thank you for your advice. I will order double V3 torque arms for the two tricycles and the bicycle in my garage. I sort of wish they did have Ace Hardware in Norway, but they don't. I will order Grin arms. I will also have to learn to read the threads a lot more thoroughly if I want to...

I know the copied torque arms are junk, but they were all I had. I have never had a wheel fall off like...

    Torque Washers and Torque Arms

    I used to be in doubt about whether to put the torque arms in front of or behind the forks. I recently took a couple of photos of what might happen if you put your torque arms in front of the steel forks. I think the photos speak for themselves. It was a 500w Bafang motor. I will also show a...
