    Milky, sticky clear coat after sanding frame

    Hi ESFMs, I'm restoring a frame and finished painting it. After a 2 month cure of my final 2k clear coat, I'm finally getting around to the cut and polish phase. I sanded it with 1000 grit wet and after wiping it down and drying it, there are white milky/hazy blotches. It's also sticky in...

    Where can I buy a replacement steel swingarm for my mountain bike?

    I've been thinking about doing this I already reached to one company but said they don't do specific components. Only hatdtail frames. If anyone can recommend me a custom builder to build me a swingarm, I'd appreciate it

    Where can I buy a replacement steel swingarm for my mountain bike?

    I've been looking but finding a frame with a swingarm that fits my current frame and having that swingarm be steel is like searching for a white unicorn

    Where can I buy a replacement steel swingarm for my mountain bike?

    Hi ESFMs, I just had the unfortunate luck of having my left chain stay break on my Voodoo Canzo. I'm running a 500w DD hub in this frame. This frame has a titanium body and would like to keep it in service for some time. So, I'm not willing to scrap it entirely for a new frame. I'm looking...

    elbows in our elbows out for gearless DD hub lacing

    Looking at the grin tech spoke calculator, when choosing configurations, there are choices between alternating and non alternating cross patterns. With the single cross, I fail to see the difference in configuration between the alt and no alt. Except in spoke measurements. Can someone explain to...

    elbows in our elbows out for gearless DD hub lacing

    I'm not sure what you mean by 'spokes on the flatter side' and 'spokes on the more conical side'. All my flange holes have a conical dip on both sides of the hole. Do you mean to say drive side when referring to the 'conical side '?

    elbows in our elbows out for gearless DD hub lacing

    Hi ESFMs, I'm relacing a few gearless DD hub motors and I just finished getting my measurement numbers to put into the grin tech spoke calculator. Now I'm indecise about the elbow orientations. The motors originally came laced in with alternating in-out elbow sequence. Should I stick with...

    Truing this Disc rotor is trying my patience

    Ok, is been 4 days of riding since adjusting the brakes and the clipping sound has not returned yet. I have some thoughts. Firstly, I think that centering the caliper by turning the pistons all the way in had made it way more accurate than the brake lever squeeze method (or squeezing the...

    Truing this Disc rotor is trying my patience

    I'm glad you're having an easier time than me. I'm out riding mine right now and my approach seems to be working. I even tightened up the barrel adjuster for a firmer lever. I will eventually change the rear rotor, but mainly because the braking sucks. I can't even lock into a skid if I need to.

    Truing this Disc rotor is trying my patience

    This would be less ideal because it's could cause an overhang situation from engaging the rest of the rotor. That's a good way to replace pads prematurely. Besides, I've ruled out radial deviations. It's all lateral

    It's a dual piston caliper. They engage equally regardless of the piston adjustment. I've got it pretty centered this way.

    Truing this Disc rotor is trying my patience

    I've done one final adjustment. Not the be all and end so of it but just to have so it's good enough to ride it again (I've been on my rim bike in the meantime) A quick test ride gave a cautious optimism. It made no sound at all... Well nearly no doing at all. But I want getting a clipping...

    They also sell crescent wrenches🙃 https://www.parktool.com/en-int/product/adjustable-wrench-paw-12

    Truing this Disc rotor is trying my patience

    Yeah, it's the DT2. I don't think it's the tool causing my problem. I got this because I hear a crescent wrench can do more damage to the rotor. And it has one nook that allows you more room. Using a wrench with your hand parallel to the wheel when you have to bend the rotor inward can be...

    Truing this Disc rotor is trying my patience

    It's a rear hub actually. What is the correct orientation for cone washers? I have 2 sets per bolt. Between adapter and caliper, I have concave on the bottom and convex on the top. And between the caliper and the head of the bolt, it's convex at the bottom with concave at the top.

    Is it possible to have issues with the hub causing lateral fluctuations? I'm not sure if my eyes are playing tricks on me but it looks like the hub itself is fluttering from side to side

    Truing this Disc rotor is trying my patience

    I had issues when installing the caliper in the beginning. My 203mm adapter was making the caliper overhang and I was only making contact with 3/4 on the pads. I had to get a 180mm adapter and use cone washers to get complete contact. In my trial and error, I had it too low at one point. I've...

    Truing this Disc rotor is trying my patience

    Hi ESFMs, I'm at my wit's end getting my rear disc rotor to stop clipping at that one spot. I have a 203mm rotor on my DD hub motor and am using a TRP Spyre mechanical caliper. The rotor is an alligator wind cutter. The rubbing part is exactly where the valve stem of my tire is. I've spent...

    What's the ideal ebike workstand for heavy hub motors?

    USD is stronger than our AUD. $1USD-$1.40AUD. The bars are actually quite rigid though. I had the same concerns before receiving it and was thinking about ways to reinforce it but so far, it's proven to be unnecessary. Those plastic cups will fail eventually but given how cheap this thing is...

    What's the ideal ebike workstand for heavy hub motors?

    I think mine are M14s as well. If you're using it on your DD hub, then maybe it'll work fine in mine. I have a 500w and a 1200 watt but both have the same axles in them. Thanks for that. I'm considering it
