So, is someone trying to tell me something. Ive been using cheap rear wheels with my ebike gas generator hybrid. i saw the rim walls was bulging before it exploded but I thought maybe it will be okay. yeh, i was riding in my neighbor hood luckily pretty slowly. and all of a sudden BANG BOOM the entire rim literally exploded. scared the s**t out of my neighbors, LUL.
the bike is 100 lbs and im like 130 lbs. i do push it to like 43mph and go like 30s and hit tons of bumps. there is no suspension front or rear. i am thinking that this is why people harp about suspension as it helps reduce some of the forces and load off of the tires.
so i saw a craiglist deal for a 26" bike for $15 I will grab the shifters, wheels, and fork off of it. but looks like from prior thread, i cannot use a mountain bike fork on a cruiser bike. still good for that rear wheel and spare front wheel, derailleur, and cables. oke, if this damn wheel explodes too. i will do something about it. ill keep the psi a bit lower this time...
LOL that explosion LOL
