I feared that to hell after i got the cnc clamps (before i broke a casting clamp at 4nm) and went with 6-7nm because the motorbracket it gets screwed onto is threaded in poor casted aluminium too and you dont do that often (screw/unscrew the clamp) with 8nm for sure...

Shit man It's not the clamps themselves that broke rather the bracket you screw them onto, I have a theory of why it happened, there might have been some dirt in the hole and the screw and hole is about the same length no margins so dirt caused screw to be pushed out in a unnatural way when screwing it back in, this is my most reasonable guess as the rest of them could be torqued properly.

txwheel Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 (edited) If it is aluminum, then it is very easy to rethread using a thread repair kit that includes thread inserts. In many cases, the rethreaded connection will be substantially stronger than the original threading.

CDINPHX Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 How waterproof are the Sherman? I’m going to wrap the top of the EUC with a clear garbage bag and tape it in place to protect the motherboard/etc? I need to find a shower cap/small bag rain cover or something If I am going to continue commuting to work on it. appreciate any feed back as the skies opened up today!

CDINPHX Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Thanks, I'll make sure of that and the bag is taped below this. Should be entertaining, I have ridden in a drizzle, but this is a consistent rain. Should be entertaining as I grabbed my hunting rain suit to wear home, be fully decked out in camo, riding in the rain. Need to find my frogg toggs suit, nut sure where that is from my move, hate to wipe out in the hunting suit as it was not cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be here in a week or so, so I'll post up some comparison pics with the stock headlight. I hope it's a big upgrade because it wasn't cheap 😅 Just recieved the Hulaj Market "Cyclop" light today. I just installed it and I'm impressed, the light is so much more focused and intense. I have to put some real mileage in the dark but I'm really happy with it so far! It changes the look of the wheel a bit. For whomever was asking about the beeper the new light comes with one. It sounds a bit different but it works. I can stare directly into the projector from standing height with it tilted pretty far up and it's not blinding at all.

Yeah thanks, I think it looks great too. The utilitarian style of the headlight light really fits the look of the Sherman S. That white thing is a small blinky light. It works well as I've noticed oncoming traffic is able to see me much better at night and slows down.

Clem604 Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 (edited) Just recieved the CNC AliExpress trolley handle+seat today. It appears to be of good quality and has a nice handle. The only downside is that the seat is a little slick so I might add some baby foam to give it some more grip. One of the improvements on this handle is that now I can pop it up one handed. Another huge improvement is how much control I have of the Sherman while trolleying now because the handle isn't flexing constantly, it reminds me of the of the V13 trolley handle. It comes in 4 colours and I chose black to match the rest of the wheel. https://a.aliexpress.com/_mMGVnIi The new handle vs the Leaperkim handle V2 Edited September 16, 2023 by Clem604 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The link doesn't seem to be working for me at the moment. The trolley handle was around $215 shipped. Since riding with it I've come to the conclusion that the seat is way too firm and uncomfortable so I'm keeping the handle but I'm replacing the seat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WILSONEUC Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 (edited) I got my trolly handle from here https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805602875997.html?spm=a2g0o.order_detail.order_detail_item.3.382cf19cr85z9t&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa $163.51 shipped. Seller is : Estway whell Store Took about a couple weeks to get to the USA. Customer support from the seller was friendly too. Im interested in checking out the sherman s pedals they are providing now... Like the other forum poster revealed, the trolly handle has a bar that connects across above the led screen. You dont really need the bar installed, but if you do, make sure the bar rounded part is facing towards the rider. Trolly handle wont lock in place when erected, if the rounded part is facing away (unless you loosen the screws by a couple of threads) Also , do not throw away the stock ph2 and hex screws connecting your factory trolly. You will need them for the installation as they are not provided from estway wheelstore. The only screws provided are for the new brackets that come for this setup. Use hand tools and be gentle to the factory trolly handle screws, they are cheap and easy to strip!! (learned this the hard way) The seat included on the trolly handle is very small, about triple the width of the factory seat. It is adhered with 3M . Easy to tear off and replace with another seat option. The seat is very slippery too. I would advize getting another seat made of grippy material, or apply baby bumper foam over the seat .

CDINPHX Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Wow, that’s an expensive handle. For some reason, the link still isn’t working for me which is odd because I used to shop off AliExpress. Doesn’t matter though I highly doubt I will buy one. So, even with the stock bolts for the light I cannot get that headlight tight enough it just flops down if I hit a bump or any bumps in the sidewalk. Think I’m gonna put an O-ring in between the light and the two supplied blocks. Something that allows it to grip. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
