Yeah they ship to all EU countries, including Spain. Not cheap though, its like 31.75 euros for spain from what i can see on their website.
And make sure they have that 17mm needle bearing in stock before you place your order. They speak english (as most dutch people do) so you can just send...
LiFePO4 can go down to 0% if you like, and even then you probably have some left over. Thats because rated capacity is usually at 1C, meaning 100A for a 100Ah battery. But at the lower currents we usually run at, like 10A, it will do 5-10% more than rated.
I run a 160Ah LiFePO4, which i can...
Yeah that seems more reasonable.
But sidenote, Molykote PG-75 has a beige color, so its not the same as the white grease in the Shimano motor. Still wondering what the white stuff is.
Thank you! Expensive stuff, sold in high volume only for what i can see.
Well, might have to look in to that in the future.
As for the sealant, i used Loctite Silicone Blue 5926.
Probably similar to the Blue Hylomar.
No problem! We are all here to help :)
The webshop i mentioned is EU only. Im not sure if its feasible to have bearings shipped from the EU to the US? I would assume these parts are pretty standard and available in the US?
Well, if people are struggling with this, i could order a couple of...
Ok, new bearings installed, motor back on the bike.
Oeh lala! Buttery smooth cranking! :p
No more creaks, so im very happy!
So i used this one:
aliexpress.com/item/33046983579.html
In the size 40x80mm. I would say 4 of the 6 bearings were easy to remove with this tool. For the other 2 (the big...
I bought it May 2020. So i assume its one of the later E8000's.
This one has done about 6000km.
By the way, i do think the needle bearings are in there (from what i can tell looking from inside the clutch bearing). And they are probable there to allow for the tiny rotational movement that the...
Thanks :)
Yeah lol that took me like 3 hours to clean :ROFLMAO:
And thanks for posting that picture. Its so weird, with the axle i have over here, it seems that it is just one solid piece with the plastic torque sensor mounted fixed on it. There is no need for a roller bearing in that area...
Ok, so are there differences in E8000 motors?
Take a look:
So i have 2 plastic gears, and 4 metal gears. Im not sure, but from what i can tell from the first pictures in this thread, there are models with more plastic gears?
Perhaps they changed the 2nd roller bearing as well?
All right, finally got around to swapping the bearings.
Motor is out, opened, removed all gears. Removed all the bearings from the shafts, cleaned everything including the 2 sprag clutches.
Ready to reinstall the new bearings.
But wait, where is that 10mm roller bearing located???
I have not...
Ouch how did that happen?
Got the flex cable in between the bearing and the bearing puller?
Easiest would be a replacement part.
Repairing is possible, though only by someone with expert skill in electronic repair. Soldering to these cables, while notoriously difficult, can be done, and you...
The clutch bearing would have been nice, sad you werent able to make a deal.
You can still make a kit for the other standard bearings of course.
Is the clutch something that wears out fast?
Perhaps its not worth the trouble if all people need are the standard bearings (and seals perhaps).
A new INA K25x29x17 actually measures as 16.5mm so that should be perfect anyway.
The same goes for the 10mm wide variant, a new INA K25x29x10 measures at 9.6mm here.
So i guess they are supposed to be a little undersized.
Also, i had no problems sourcing any of the bearings from the list...
If you got that code while riding hard (boost for example) or on rough terrain, then check you battery connections. If the tabs on your bike are pitted than you might have a connection problem.
To fix, clean and remove the oxidation layer from the tabs and within the battery contacts with...
So ive been wondering, if the primary 6805 bearing uses a metal (ZZ) shielding, and that is the one that fails first (according to SmokeyBear), isnt it wise to change that to a full plastic type shielding (2RS / DD)? Just like the other primary 6808 bearing?
Since the full plastic shields are...
When looking up the bearings i came across a handy reference for the bearing seal types:
Suffix:
(blank) : No seals
RS / D: 1 side rubber or plastic seal
2RS / DD: 2 sides rubber or plastic seal
Z : 1 side metal seal
ZZ : 2 sides metal seal
2RZ : 2 side low friction rubber seal, splash proof...
Ah ok at the bottom of the rear shock extension. Those bushings are still fine on my bike. Wasnt aware that it was plastic though. Gonna inspect it next time to be sure.
Nope, no chemicals. Just a damp cloth, thats all.
And yes mine is the 2019 alu frame.
It doesnt have plastic bushes as far as i know. Where exactly are they on your bike?
Maybe the seized bearing was just caused by a bad dust seal. Or perhaps condensation played a role, with how the bike...
