The eeb quick or stupid questions thread.

[ozzybmx]

Whatever yous think, I was also of the same opinion as you's. I had an ebike here in my garage for 5yrs and never bothered with it until I couldn't ride earlier this year... nek minnit.

I am not preaching, just waiting for the moment when you step on the gravy train.

Who would've have thought after all these years Flava Flav would still be right... Fight the Power!

I would have thought after so many years @ozzybmx would have known winter ended three weeks ago........

He's still coming to terms with 150mm bikes not being considered downcountry though, so baby steps...

170mm/203mm is what the cool kids are riding

That must give you some serious rotor burn...

Rotors, cool kids are 220mm. Didn't you hear, rotors must be bigger than your 52t cassette cog ?

Why the dinky little rotors? 223mm is where it's at! It's a world of difference.

You can get 52t cassettes for Shimano in other brands.

Mate if you are using a 52T on an ebike you need to go play golf instead.

Why the fuck aren't mopeds 1x9?!

EDIT: Actually. I don't even give a fuck. As you were.

I don't reckon its ever even been in the 40t, if it has, it was accidental. Could cut that big 50t off to save weight

... on my 790g Linkglide cassette

unless runing in lowest assist mode or leaning on the bars like you are trying to give the bike CPR, most times my bike just loops out when in the biggest rear cog..and then there's the wheel spin, ohh the wheel spin!

OK, potentially dumb question.
I bought some new bolts for the eeb as I couldn't mount my OneUp pump under the bottle cage with the supplied ones.
The Wolftooth ones are 15mm, which is too long and the bolts hit the battery, meaning the pump mount is loose.
So, where do I get some shorter ones, or do I need to use washers?

Cut them ? Grab the right length 4mm bolts from a shop ?

 

[rockmoose]

Sounds like you need eeb specific bolts. Bet they cost a bomb.

Cutting them was on the list, but I can't be trusted with tools so trying to avoid that one!
I'll see if I can get some 10mm bolts somewhere

Check other bikes, they come with all different length bottle cage bolts.

Aaaand I've just discovered ProBolt.
