Ronin Ryder Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 (edited) Hello what the you guys think of adding rubberized undercoating on the rim of the wheel, in order to protect the rim and motor from salt and rust? see below: https://amzn.to/3jtFZ3q I did so on the sherman it looks fine but im not used to see this paint like layer on the rim of the wheel. So asking to the community their opinion. Edited February 7, 2021 by Ronin Ryder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtlasP Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 (edited) Completely spitballing, but I'm not sure it would help much? The rim and housing of the motor other than the bearing are all quite weatherproof, the weatherproofing issues involving those things are around the bearings/entry points, which you couldn't seal with something like that because they have to move separately from one another. Now where it could theoretically help is up inside the shell/particularly the seam of the shell. So you'd have to completely remove the wheel/motor, and I just don't know how feasible it'd be to spray up inside there like that, but maybe?

EUC Forest Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 I try to weatherproof the notoriously "sensitive" V11 bearings with special "gun" oil (Ballistol) which does not solidify, seems to work but I have only 150km riding with it.
