What is Gravity Check? That moment when you are flying down the perfect trail and you hit that off-camber root you didn't see. Your heart skips a beat as your wheels come out from under you and It's that moment when Gravity keeps you in Check.
Thank you, a great real life user review. I ordered mine last week so should be on it soon. Totally agree on bang for buck and the alloy/carbon price difference vs weight difference. It really is insignificant so difficult to justify paying the extra.
Your diagnosis is wrong the hub is slipping because the springs are not engageing the pauls simple , alloy freehub bodies are just dumb . Not really any true info in your review sorry i see your trying but not technical minded enough those hub looks like it would be fine if the pauls springs were replaced cleaned up with light grease .
Finally!! I have searched far and wide for someone who has purchased and built an Alloy eMTB from AliExpress. I cant wait to watch all your videos and am very grateful for taking the time in doing them. I know your bike was made in 2021 but even now in 2024 an alloy frame with Bafang motor are hard to find. Currently all the frames are carbon and the aluminium frames are very expensive. I am sure there are many like us who would prefer building up an alloy frame. My main reason is that hey can be knocked/thrown around without worrying about catastrophic failure.🤩
So it’s nothing to do with the number of pawls the wear on the freehub is due to the power of the ebike motor driving through a aluminium freehub and steel cassette. The wear in your video looks like the whole internals of the pawl engagement mechanism is from movement on the axle, there should be no marks on the pawl side. Zitto now do a 6 pawl EMTB specific hub with steel freehub body and stronger axle
Thank you, saves me the time of venturing into another blue city that has gone to seed since COVID. Calling it a museum is generous since there are multiple copies of the same thing instead of the best copy of something on display as an example. Doubly so with the lack of curation on a lot of items it comes off looking like a junk shop. Really could have used a professional touch in curation and presentation.
You got the cause wrong. The "teeth" you saw on the cassette carrier (around the pawls) is caused by the carrier being pushed into the teeth in the hub body. This is caused by a bad inner bearing on the cassette carrier. These chinese wheels are actually quite okay, but they come with bearings that are really, really bad. Make sure you always replace the bearings in the cassette carrier on a new wheelset like this.
I got to say trek has very good warranty. in my situation I owned a fuel exe 7.9 and I had problem after problem of just owning it for a year it was in the shop more than I actually rode it I felt. from wheel noises to rear shock noises to display and motor problems. Trek warranty and I both settled on just replacing the bike with a trek rail 8 which cost more than the 7.9 exe . that was awesome on there part only ridden it twice since winter came around. fingers cross no more issue moving forward. glad you don't have problems with yours. cheers
Do you still have your Serovat build? I used a Bafang M510 on a CF frame from Light Carbon. I really like the frame and mullet setup. While I like the M510, it does seem a bit unpredictable (torque delivery seem to be on-and-off … seems really susceptible to changes in cadence). The service from Bafang is non-existent IMO. Is a name brand, “store bought” bike somewhat better or a lot better than a diy in your opinion?
I’ve had both store bought and DIY and it really depends on why you want an e-bike. DIY will always be best bang for the buck and most powerful. What you get from a store bought emtb is a level of reliability and refined motor tuning that is hard to get with a DIY e-bike. At the end of the day it depends on what you are looking to use the bike for.
This is the same problem I ran into. I ended up going to a store in person to measure the boots before ordering a medium. I would assume a size 12 would need a large Clew. But again it’s based on boot dimensions not boot size.
This video was right on the money. Exactly the information I was looking for. I'm in the exact same situation, with a similar shoe size. Thank you so much!
This is the only review of these PASAK wheels I saw here in YT. Here in Asia they sell these online and advertise this as an 11 speed hub, what I received was a 12 speed hub with 6-pawls, it also included a spacer to accommodate 11 speed cassette. The rear wheel only costs 33USD (shipping already included).
Hey guys, can you start adding credit to original videos from now on including this one here that's mine? 🤨Regardless, he did have a punctured lung too, amongst fracture in collarbone and fingers. I agree with your comments and have been rinsed countlessly for helmet removal, but hindsight is 2020. It was a split second decision with factor of slightly looser helmet and the fact he made a funny comment as I was doing it - signalling I could go ahead. Regarding for cause of the crash itself, it wasn't the seat, but skill and lapse of concentration. He was never meant to jump anything that day and only roll over features.
