Re: somebody build me damn that looks heavy. lol... Cool but heavy
I switched out the wheels and sure enough that was the problem. of course now I have a bike that is twice as tall and moves way too fast. I have a couple of new 20" coaster wheels. I think I might ride this for a week if it doesn't get any better feeling I'll switch wheels again.
Still it does move and there is no grinding sound like before. I also went about five blocks and the chain stayed on. made a heck of a racket but it stayed on. I think the other one in addition to working loose again also had the coaster brake dragging. That was the lurching I felt.
I am using the tensioner temp on the bike side. that will go when I get around to shortening the pedal chain. I would still rather have a friction drive. next kit I get will be friction I guarantee it.
I still have to work on the ebike when I get the new parts. |
