Any input there Jester? he a power shift guy ? (like gary banging gears in his video)
I recall
Matt mentioning he did do some '
power changes' but no, he doesn't tear around
munching the gears everytime he rides it, it is from the torque thats done it im afraid. I spoke to Matt ~2 hours ago on the phone and he hasn't pulled the hub down as yet, I'm hoping he might make it
buy my place today actually unfortunately though his lil daughter is ill so he is taking care of herso he may not make it.. I Shall remind Matt to take the pics, i did mention tohim i posted in this thread RE: the failure though. (
i will link him now to the thread so he will prolly pop in himself also)
It is unfortunate though, having seen the insides of these hubs i was never overly confident of them being durable. I will stick to my plan of using the 2nd gear pretty much exclusively, my bike is geared low enough to pull hard in second and max out in the mid 50's in 2nd gear needing 3rd only for 65km/hr my shire has a max speed on 95% of the roads of 50km so i wont be using it alot either way. :: fingers crossed:: it
will hold up for awhile...Ill still be lacing up a extra wide hub to fit an Eno/pulley too, with the planned
second motor (
6500watt Turnigy) being added there is no way on this earth the 3 speed will take the abuse ill throw at it...
