박현 Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 So.. Okay I have no idea except replace the whole motor. It looks like can replace the rims but it does not selling anywhere. I'm just 55kg and bought it 3 month ago.. You need to think about that before you buy it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EUC Custom Power-Pads Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 I only know the material of 16X and that did not convince me. This aluminium has really a bad quality. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
null Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Thats really unlucky, as far as I know you have to replace the whole motor as the rim is part of the housing.. maybe you could ry to patch it up somehow if the use isn't too impacted? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most problem is the crack inside of rims. The damaged crack makes more problem with tire.. If i ignored some wired feeling when i riding, It makes problem to my body. Im Thinking about Argon welding but I don't know it works. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is one significant problem with welding - heating magnets over certain temperature (so-called Curie temperature) will cause its permanent demagnetization. I'm afraid the only solution is to buy new motor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

null Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 (edited) Maybe you could bend an existing aluminium profile to line up -inside- the damaged rim area. Pressure being outward the eventual glue won’t take the pressure.. (just thinking out loud, a shake to replace a whole motor for this..) edit: maybe the bicycle world have tricks for rims.

mike_bike_kite Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Could you just call some wheel rim specialists in your city and ask them what it might cost to fix? You might need to send them a photo. If the price is OK then you can disassemble the wheel and remove the tyre. Then just take the wheel and motor to them. I find it hard to believe the motor will even get warm if the welding is on the rim but check with the guys doing the work. I'd also suggest you check your tyre pressures to avoid this happening again, wheels are delivered with really low pressures and need to be pumped up.

atdlzpae Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 (edited) I was able to straighten my rim on KS16S with a vise grip tool. Remember to first remove the tire! Ps. My rim was bent, but not nearly as badly. Edited January 25, 2020 by atdlzpae Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish it works. But inside crack may cause the tyre damage so do something more than bending it. 5 hours ago, atdlzpae said: I was able to straighten my rim on KS16S with a vise grip tool.

Before i got some more spare from wheel that broken other parts, i have to indure that kind of way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
