Ever Hated a Trail??? One of those Rides
The Only reason….The ONLY Reason I ride here is because it’s close by and convenient. Terrible conditions, horrible human interactions, tons of Karens, Patrolled by “Docents” that don’t allow wheelies or speeds over 15 mph (if they catch you) constantly reminded by bystanders “WHERES YOUR BELL???” Dude I mention terrible conditions? Anyway, it’s honestly not that bad, I was just having a bad day. Enjoy.
I’m going to get so much crap for this😝No one reads the description and this is a test for that fact. Stay Stoked. Any day on a bikes a good day.

    I feel like, to enjoy Harmon, you have to ride the right bike. With a hardtail - or even better a full rigid ride - there's a lot more fun/challenge, and you won't raise any eyebrows because chances are you're rarely topping 13mph. (It also makes the climb easier.) I like taking my old Schwinn klunker on skinny 27.5s up there - that feels about right on most of the side trails.

      @@eformance you probably could but these hubs are notorious for the inner teeth where the free hub pawls engage, getting destroyed by the torque of these 750w motors. The bike weighs over 80 lbs. Once the teeth go on the inner hub, they are not removable, (I’ve tried with the tool). It’s just a throwaway in my opinion and not worth fixing. The hubs also run 36 spokes that are 12g thickness and is a 12x257. Rims are also very soft. I have 3 hanging up that are damaged beyond repair just from riding trails. It’s best to replace with a wheel that’s repairable, has a good reputation, has more common sizes, spoke, size and a strong hoop. Plus the Raceface has a lifetime warranty.

    • @eformance
      @eformance 23 дні тому

      @@SimplePleasuresMTB I see your point. These hubs (the freewheel specifically) look exactly like the Formula 32 hubs I have. I literally just replaced the freehub today, so it's fresh in my memory. Surprisingly, the new FH was steel instead of aluminum, which is a plus because I replaced the FH due to the splines being abused. This is on an 11yo Cannondale that had an 11-36t cassette and it looked like a FH that had been beat up by an eMTB! FWIW, this is a 10s FH, the alloy part is FH-502 and the steel is FH-501. The FH-501 is called out for all Formula hubs used by Cannondale, so I assume if 1 part covers all, this design must be pretty ubiquitous.

      Yeah the Sondors Rockstar…I was lucky enough to be “sponsored” by them and they gave me a bike to pretty much showcase what it was built to do. I asked out of respect (Storm Sondors the owner) if he would mind if I built the bike with quality parts. I basically changed everything but the frame, motor and electronics because it just wasn’t built with quality components to handle some serious mountain biking trails. My channel was basically me changing everything on this bike and putting it through the wringer 😎 Plus it being 80 lbs. we were going through drivetrains like crazy. Had a guy making me DT Swiss clone hubs with the ratchet design that worked great, better than the 3 pawl design. I even tried the Bear Pawls 6 pawl Free Hub that worked well, but the Ratchet design was best for this bike.

    • @SimplePleasuresMTB
      @SimplePleasuresMTB 24 дні тому

      Could be, check your pick up sensor on the rear spoke in relation to the magnet, make sure magnet is clean. Also check all wire connections to display, brake cut off sensor wires, try removing and reinstalling battery. If the throttle is working, but you can’t pedal it, the pawls in the free hub are probably toast. This is a very common problem with the Rockstar. I have other videos covering that issue as well. Throttle just drives the motor so most likely hub or pawls. Probably need to replace the rear wheel unfortunately.
