Paul A Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 From google query: 'cold temperature glue' Epoxy adhesives in particular do very well at low temperatures. They actually increase in bond strength and their physical properties are higher than at room temperatures. Polyurethane glues are the best exterior wood glues to use in colder temperatures. Because reactive polyurethanes are 100% solids, there is no concern with minimum-use temperatures. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerbera Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 Thanks @Paul A. I was gonna try epoxy next, but I'm giving this Gorilla heavy duty grab adhesive a go first, which claims to be able to stick anything to anything at any temperature ! We'll see about that ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, get it to 70-80 degrees. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post EUCzero Posted December 4, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 4, 2022 Putting the the velcro on the heater as well as the surface you will attach them to as close to the heater as possible for 5minutes will help. Also.... rinse with alcohol (or isopropanol) is very important to get rid of all fat. Do NOT touch the surface with your hands. Also wash your hands just before. Even when doing all this stuff, some velcro just do not stick. And that is when you go for the permanent glues like superglue (gel), epoxy, PU glue and so on. But be aware that most of these glues are not very flexible. There are strong flexible glues as well. Glues made for shoe/rainboots repair are exellent, but normally need 24 hours or more to cure. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerbera Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 Thanks everyone for all the advice. I am going to play it a bit fast and loose with this one - was only one pad affected. I glued it 2 hours ago, heated it for 5 mins with fan heater, then put it next to a radiator for an hour, then back on the wheel until now, when I am about to go out in the cold and ride. Instructions say it cures in an hour to be usable and fully in 24. So we'll see if it comes off in my imminent wheel round the park now !

But I did the gluing in the warmest room I had, and left the glue to cure next to a radiator - we'll see how effective that was when I ride into town in a few hours ! Might buy a budget hairdryer while I'm there ! Spent it all on the wheel, eh? Good Man! A Begode wheel is the recommended choice for a warm homecoming, too, lolno! It puts me in mind of the story about when the playwright Sheridan’s London Drury Lane theatre burned down and local people were amazed when he calmly drew up a chair, poured himself a glass and watched, sang-froid; a fireman even remonstrated with him for not assisting to deal with the blaze, to which he replied: - ” A man may surely be allowed to take a glass of wine by his own fireside” Edited December 4, 2022 by Freeforester Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to lay down a challenge to fate or anything, but I have taken steps to ensure that the only warm feelings coming out of my wheel is the joy of the ride ! Like the fire alarm on the ceiling above it, the fire blanket and powder extinguisher hanging close by, and the MC helmet and thick winter gloves for emergency transfer outside. In happier news, my gorilla glue plans seem to be working out nicely and my padding seems pretty secure so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

techyiam Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 7 hours ago, Rawnei said: It's a clusterfudge. In a glass half full perspective, Begode engineers were able to come out with four 134.4 V controller board revisions in considerably less time than it took Kingsong to make even one badly needed 126 V controller board revision. Additionally, each new revision came with a corresponding revised display and charge port board, except for revision 3. For revision 3, the display was not revised. Hence, revision 3 controller board used revision 2 display. Moreover, for compatibility between revisions, Kevin has a nice compatibility chart laid out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerbera Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Excellent - my Grizzlas have gone in the post. Goodbye stock pads - it's been a month; I tried to love you, and you looked cool, but... no. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerbera Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 For those people still having the low temperature / no display / lights thing I have more information. Temps are hovering around 0C in the UK at the moment, and as we are now loads colder than before, the minimum time we need to have the wheel on for before its display is activated on restart is correspondingly much longer - indeed a solid 5 minutes of mounted pendulum action wasn't enough to bring it back today ! I wheeled to the supermarket without the light or the display - it was still light and I didn't need either with EUC World running. I tried to remain in the warm shop for as long as possible, but it wasn't enough to make my display work, and by the time I left darkness had fallen. My head light would turn on, but every so often would go into flashy-blinky mode, before returning to normal some time later. I rode home as quickly as possible, racing the sunset. And so I can confirm that no matter how much the light cuts in and out, balance is truly unaffected and it remains safe to ride unless you need its light to see ! Time to fit the card, which I has been just sitting here all the time it didn't bother me... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul A Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Having a hand held torch as a redundancy is probably prudent regardless. Makes visibility going around curves, up/down slopes, etc, better as well. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kutvis Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 (edited) After 440km of glorious training to master my master it is dead (I been riding more with my Smax because of weather). My suspension is very hard (I finally don't bottom), I demonstrated it to @mrelwood and @idzpeed by launching myself max 10cm in air with it. I was almost stationary, when I came down I was in an angle. Not too bad but enough for the wheel to tilt and cutoff + dead. We think it was mosfet burned. Oh well, one more to add into my signature. Hope to get it fixed fast as I really like the wheel. Edited December 11, 2022 by Kutvelo 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't push my friend wheels like I do my own though, need locked pedals with my own pads to be able to push real force into the wheel. 13 hours ago, Kadir Metin Bozatli Köyü said: I don't know English, I translated it from Google, the quote is in Turkish, I'm sorry, and thank you for your interest.

Greg X Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 what battery configurations (bigger than 1900/2400) are possible in Master? This wheel has a loot of empty space for better battery..... Maybe You know if Begode plans to upgrade this model some way, in the future? (better suspension, bigger battery) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
