lol? Hey, if you're cool with losing over half your motorized bicycle's torque due to a shortcut design, more power to you, no pun intended of course.
I'm 6'4" 230, mine does the same thing, and I can still pedal assist to almost 8K RPM in every gear. You couldn't pedal assist much if you wanted to, tho. You've abandoned that.
Jealous? How could I be jealous? I'm just a guy who's been around here a long time and remembers much. I also don't respect any bullcrap. I'll remember it, too.
Oh, and I know the difference between "you're" and "your". Does that qualify me as being "the man"? Are you even qualified to say?
It does _not_ have the same pedal ratio when the engine is running - you've eliminated part of the reduction. Your system causes a MaB to lose most of it's available torque.
It's not an improvement. YOU think it's an improvement, but actually it's an enormous compromise.
I haven't moved my base in 4 years. I don't even have the SBP adjustment mechanism installed anymore. Full halflink chains eliminate that requirement from my testing.
I agree that chain adjustment is a PITA on a shifter build, but full halflink chains pretty much eliminate that issue. I use KMC HL710L instead of 410.
If that extra chain allows for proper reduction, I'll take it. If I didn't want to pedal I'd buy a motorcycle.
Motor-assisted Bicycle. What happens when the "assist" is implemented in such a way that it renders the "bicycle" aspect superfluous?
Oh yeah, you get what some people derisively call a "DUI Special", a bicycle for people who wouldn't ordinarily ride a bicycle. I see a lot of those around here.
I know, it's hard for you to get certain details right. Like the fact my s/n is "Aleman" (you almost always mess that one up
).
Or when you post pictures of your builds, most of them have misaligned brakes. I saw one bike you were trying to sell for over $1K had a groove worn in the sidewall from the brake pad. Heh.
I jumped in because he said it was "clever". I disagreed with that, then you decided to call me names. I'm the ass? HA!
Nothing says ass like a guy who screws up "you're" constantly and types silly stuff like "a ass". It's obvious you two are made for each other. I'm sure you'll overlook each other's faults.
