Electric Recumbent Adventure Continues – BionicOldGuy inkeinspires

I finally recovered my return to the road in electric-assistant mode. It turned out to be an odyssey. I continued two parallel approaches. I first tried to repair the wheel with broken rays, it turns out that you can get custom -made lengths online, so I have 228 mm replacements. Then, I exchanged the five broken rays with new ones, and I tried to tighten them by the sensation so that they correspond to their neighbors. The wheel seemed true enough, so I took it for a trick to try it. It was seriously out of turn, which means that there was a very notable high and bottom movement of the front wheel. So I took the wheel in my local bicycle store. They could not fix it because they found that there was a permanent turn in the rim causing a flat point. Remember that I had discovered both 5 broken rays. Everything I have done, like hitting a very bad-a-haul nest, which blew up the 5 shelves must also have folded the rim.

So that the wheel must be rebuilt. This is not something they do in my local shop, so I don’t make myself for a personalized wheel manufacturer. Alternatively, I could simply get a cheap traction stand and a new rim, and rebuild the wheel myself. It does not seem too difficult for the standard “two cross” methods based on what I read and saw in the videos.

Fortunately, there was a parallel path. Last November, the manufacturers of my avoidance kit, Swytchbike Had an excellent sale on their kits. I wanted to get spare batteries, and it turned out that with the sale, a replacement kit was not more expensive than getting the batteries, so I ordered one. Upon arrival a few months later, I put his batteries in service, but I put the side kit. I was finally able to try to install it on my bed when I had the problem of broken speech. Unfortunately, the wheel did not quite correspond in the deposit slots on the bicycle. I contacted customer service and they told me that I was outside the return window (that’s what happens when you wait two months before trying a product). But fortunately, I could simply place the wheel so that it fits into the dropouts (for which they had a brief video). It turned out to be a training. I think my right arm is larger than my left after the deposit. It was very satisfactory when he finally adapts.

The new wheel has worked as a champion connected to my existing controller. The only setting was to adjust the size of the wheel to the controller at 20 “instead of 26”. I took the bike for a test tour and it was delicious.

This corresponds to the configuration of my previous advantage, the 26-20 Bacchetta Giro. I had forgotten how comfortable it was. It is therefore my journey in the foreseeable future, although I consider that the continued 26 -inch engine wheel.
