Reason being is I am approaching 500kms here likely within the next couple of weeks and I want to take the wheel apart, check out the west/tear, clean it up retorque, likely wheel swap and possibly tubeless setup. anyways, I haven’t found the torque settings anywhere, and this is the first reference of a torque I have seen anywhere. Which is awesome, most seem to just loctite and snug up in videos which I have never been a fan of. thanks steve In the package of spare parts that LK sent out there is a bag with spare motor bolts and on it is a label with the torque spec 18Nm. Clamp screws are 8Nm, big screws on battery box (both the ones going to suspension and to top assembly) is 11Nm.

I’ve reached out inquiring about it, perhaps my batch 3 already has the upgraded parts? regardless, I owe you a beer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My batch 3 didn't, I have to "wait" for my package but a friend wasn't going to use his anytime soon so I got his meanwhile and he will get mine when it arrives.

CDINPHX Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 (edited) Good to know, thanks!! Waiting for their response back as I believe @Clem604 got his from Eevee's already as well. Is the suspension clamp a lot better design? The rest of the parts I don't really care to much for, but I'll take em if they are free. Speaking of which I still need to track down a android phone/tablet to update my software on the wheel, they failed to do that at the shop.

It's stronger, old one was cast and was prone to cracking, new one is CNC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask and you shall receive 😃 https://hulaj.market/en/veteran-sherman-s/1295-front-lamp-cyclop-to-sherman-s.html It looks to be an LED inside a projector, possibly similar to the V11. The description says that it has a proper beam cutoff, is brighter, and has a wider beam than the stock headlight. I'm buying this as soon as it comes back in stock. I'll post some pics whenever I actually get it. Edit: Since the Patton uses the same stock headlight as the Sherman S this may also work on that.

That’s me and archery kit. I’m still working on if I can do drive by archery shooting at the club. Might need to get a horse bow! I think I can do it and maintain balance. If I can I’ll try to get film was trying the other night but holding a stick out to the side. The hard part will be the draw on the bow.

CDINPHX Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 (edited) Go buy a Kriega R25. It transfers the entire load to your sternum and off the shoulders. They are well known bags in the ADV motorcycle world. I’ve had mine for 10 years it’s still amazing. Scroll thru the pics to see how it sits on your chest https://kriega.us/backpacks-1/r25-backpack Edited June 6, 2023 by CDINPHX 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CDINPHX Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 If you are getting shoulder /back pain, you need to really look at a better pack and one with a waist/hip belt and a internal frame. There should be minimal to no weight on your shoulders(maybe 10-15%) of the pack weight at most. Wearing a pack without a frame(typical day pack) and carrying anything more then 30lbs for extended periods is horrible on the back and shoulders. The reason I suggest the Kriega R25 is because it transfers the weight into your chest and not thru the shoulder and you are able to move your shoulders/etc around with no restrictions or pressure points. It is extremely comfortable and I wore mine all day on the motorcycles standing up with 20-25lbs in it with zero issue. I would not carry more then 25-30lbs/etc on any pack without a frame/hipbelt for any extended period of time. If you do get a bag with a hip belt(proper hip belt with padding that wraps around to the front of the hips, not the bs 1" webbing type)), I would suggest going with mystery ranch, you can get a seriously nice bags from them (pop up 28/etc). The founder of that company came from I think it was Mountain smith(the designer/founder of all modern expedition bags), they are one of the top manufactures of bags in the worl (quality is amazing) You can wear their packs all day without discomfort. 13 hours ago, stephen said: only looked one up as I rode 100 miles and my back shoulders was hurting and got a trapped nerve it's a good option if needed or keep it in your backpack if things start to get heavy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plugged it in - and nothing - didn’t work!😫 There is no on/off switch, just plug the 3.5mm Jack in like the original, but no light. I’ve emailed them to let them know. It seems a well put together light - not sure what the issue is. Will update when I know more 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
