Ditch the rim and have a new one laced in. Once a bike wheel bends out of true that far - you will never get it straight again, that rim is BLOWN I've been spoking my own wheels since 1978, and tried once to re-spoke and true a thing like that. Chuck it, it's toast
Love the content bro. Great to see that youre back the roads. There isnt a huge amount of good ebike content on the internet so always great to see stuff like this 👍
Great Video! Thanks again, I always look forward to your videos. right now i have 2 Aventon Aventures 2 bikes for me and the girl, Personally i want to upgrade to this bike soon
@ENDOPRYSMyt nice I too should be uploading testing & riding footage of my latest build, just ran into a few issues here and there, but little by little it's getting close to being ready 🙏🏿
I broke a few spokes and found a local shop that could sell them too me, fixed my bike, but priced out a proper Excel rim and full spokes while I was there, it was about $500 for them to do it. These stock rims are weak and will bend at the slightest curb impact. Depending on your rear tire size, you might want to swap a size too I have a 21" rear, but I'm going with a 18" next cause I want to put a more beefier tire on there. but then I went back to my Alibaba contact, and they spec'd me out a rim, 5T motor and tire for 438$ I'll be reviewing it as soon as it gets here.
Ok. In that case it might just make sense for me to just get a new motor and rim. The motor I have is good but it’s like 5 years old with a shredded cable. And the rim is messed up. I could probably sell this one to someone for like 300 then a new motor wheel should be like 6-700. I’ll look into it more
EXACT same thing happened to me, rode it on a flat without realising. took a month to repair. now i’m facing worse issues, hall sensor error 40H. fixed it, then it blew itself again. these bikes are fun but you definitely get what you pay for in price for quality..
Yeah for sure. So far I have been able to build bikes for other petiole with these parts that have experienced no issues. But my bike does and it all stems from my motor wheel I’m soo ready to get rid of it
Have you tried truing the wheel? The spokes on those wheels are pretty strong and can easily pull the rim back into place. You should also take your wheel to someone with a wheel balancing machine, it just makes it smoother at high speed. Lacing a wheel can seem pretty scary at first but ive laced a few wheels recently and its not that hard, just takes some time
Soldering the wires like that isn’t a good way to do it, when you shove the cold wire into the pool of solder the solder will freeze before it can heat up the wire and not get inside the wire. You should have either put the wire into the connector and heated both up while adding solder, or crimped it.
the left side front shock where it connects right under your handlebar (shit if i know what its called) youre missing the bolt that tightens the thingie.
It’s actually pronounced “thingamadoodle” but close. That’s been missing for like 1.5 years it doesn’t effect much. But I should just get a new one it is pretty annoying to look at.
This is all level 1 basic bike mechanical stuff. It's like you never built a bike or e-bike before. I would start making UA-cam videos learning people. After you hit level 50

Thanks ofc. Just ordered parts for a new budget build and they will be here by Wednesday. So stay tuned!

🔥nice build
1:23 I half expected to hear "Hey kids, today we are gonna learn how not to soldur" when that classical music hit.
Good to see u back uploading. You definitely inspired many of us to get into our builds 💯
Love the comment. Have some money saved up and am looking to convert a pit bike to electric for some videos so stay tuned
@ENDOPRYSMyt nice

@juice9767 very cool let me know when you post

But yeah I would also like to see that review. So lmk when you post it.
@@ENDOPRYSMyt will do.

@@ENDOPRYSMyt yepp you and me both haha, love it so much but it’s caused me so much stress and time
Seriously. There are soo many litttle things I should’ve could have done to my bike when I first built it that would have saved me soo much headache.
could have tinned the end of twisted wires. no frizzies.
It’s hard with my cheap ass kit because the wire ends up melting a lil before it tins

That makes a lot of sense. I have trouble heating the wire tho because the wire coating melts.
yeah i was thinking the same.. get this guy a small jet lighter !
buy a new wheel
Yeah but money🥲 that will probably be the case. I may end up selling this bike as sentimental as it is to build another one and make it more refined

All perfectly done even the whiny normal girl at the start. Cable management takes time and skill darling
You know what? Get into "BICYCLING MAGAZINE" and you can learn to spoke rims
Them connectors are junk you should use qs8 connectors
Qs8 look pretty solid so maybe next time. These connectors are still far better than my previous ones s we will see how they work
@@ENDOPRYSMyt yea you need anti spark qs8 connectors that's what the issue is with sparking when connected and hurts the connection bad.
Might just need to "true" your spokes to get it more even again

After you hit level 50
I would love to watch your videos then. Lvl 79 masa.
