3/4" RapidAir Quick Overview
This is my quick 2 cents on the air system. do as much assembly in a vise as possible, cranking those fittings overhead while fighting the hose isn't exactly easy.

    • @rhodesahead4204
      @rhodesahead4204 4 місяці тому

      I'd need to know how it was wired to answer your question. When I do mods like these I bypass the on/off switch so the battery is always live. If the BMS has ports for the switch I'll leave it. if it's a key type switch they can just be unplugged or shorted depending on the type of switch to accomplish this (internally).

    • @rhodesahead4204
      @rhodesahead4204 4 місяці тому

      several benefits, mainly getting an otherwise functional battery back into service. Now its more "versatile" as most aftermarket and replacement battery's use an XT60 or XT 90 connector. Now its hot-swap-able or you can even run more than one battery at a time (in parallel) to extend range. This particular battery is in service for a pedicab company and they run through 3 battery's per event so the ability to hot swap is important

    • @rhodesahead4204
      @rhodesahead4204 4 місяці тому

      its DC, you might see sparks but its not likely to shock you. the major risk is shorting the battery when the cables are bare. I just solder one wire at a time and heatshrink it before moving onto the next wire. for reference this guy shocks himself for fun and the video is of his tongue in stead of fingers but you might get an idea of shock ua-cam.com/video/hp97GjuULX8/v-deo.html and this one might be more relevant to your specified fear ua-cam.com/video/snk3C4m44SY/v-deo.html I have an aventon battery that needs this same mod, IF I can film it then I'll post it but big if.

    Note that you can make this combination as long as you want. My own lock is 12 directions long, almost nobody is gonna be able to guess that. Just don't make it too long because the longer it is the tighter the tolerances get for entering the combination, resulting in a lower chance of opening it with the correct combination - at least in my experience. I'd say maybe 15-18 directions is a good limit, maybe.

    Excellent tip on using a hose clamp on PCS-9.2. Please do consider placing a strip of a rubber from used tube or something under for better grip and prevent scratching.... if so desired. What Park Tool did with 9.3 model is simply added a spring button to where you have placed the clamp to prevent from sliding and causing stand to fall/collaps under load.

      I am glad you are excited to ride bikes! The bad news is that the availability is minimal. As a shop, we are lucky to even get bikes these days. Since you live in India I would look towards your local bicycle stores for bikes and be patient. I can only imagine it's equally as difficult to obtain bikes there as here. I am not sure either if Linus supports international sales. It might be worth checking out a different brand like Gazelle. If a linus is what you desire and you are willing to pay for shipping I am sure our store can help you with your dream, once they are back in stock. in a lot of cases it's cheaper to fly back and forth and bring a bike as luggage. good luck!
