Archived: the OG noob question thread! 😀

Just wanted to ask if someone can recommend one. I found this on Amazon, but I don’t know how you change the awg setting or is this done automatically?

You can adjust the length it cuts and wires from 0.2mm^2 up to 6mm^2

But how is this adjusted :0

Again… For more than 10 wires this is pure pain in the ass.
I think I’m gonna buy the Amazon one :slight_smile:

yeah i dont trust amazon reviews for anything

i look on which… it does reviews on everything

i think it does it automatically, depending on how thick the wire is it adjusts the “force”.

if you buy it, let me know how it goes

My wheel pulley + wheel don’t fit the axle somehow :frowning: did I do something wrong???
Using 184mm Caliber II and 54mm wide (97mm big) wheels.

The silver bearing from the pulley stops the wheel to completely go on the axle, so I can’t nut it down :frowning:

Square peg, round hole. Your pulley is hitting the hanger. Not compatible without shaving down the hanger to fit inside the pulley, or getting a pulley with a larger inside diameter opening,

I’m afraid I don’t think your quite right. It’s not the hanger blocking it, but the bearing inside the pulley
I’ll add a foto
What do you think?

Turned up the lighting to make it more visible

The pulley has enough space right?
Its just the bearing making the wheel+pulley to long for the axle

If the pulley opening doesn’t hit the hanger at all, then I’m wrong.

Also, the wheel is still spinning, so it’s not blocked by the hanger I suppose. Rather the bearing blocking it from being shorter

It doesn’t! Uploading: VID_20200430_120357.mp4…
Wobbly because one bearing of the wheel is not on the axle

Isn’t that tbe problem we talked about that the dicky pulley depending on the version needs a support bearing + e-caliber axles?

Or the pulleys that shares a bearing with the wheel.

I will see if that works out :slight_smile: though I think I couldn’t get it that much inside the wheel

Hold up I’ll test it out

I’ve never used these bolt-ons, but that does ring a bell.

Just two bearings total per wheel, right?

Could be the solution, 3 bearings seem to many:

But the teeth would be hidden under the wheel so I can’t mount the belt :frowning:

Everything would fit if I took the bearing out. But this might be torture for the wheel core as the belt is pulling it

Help im about to cry :joy:

look at this.

this is my wheel pulley and it has it’s own support bearing.

if i use that+ the regular wheel bearings I can’t mount it because the support bearing takes away the space.

if i remove the bearing i can mount it

but then the pulley doesn’t have any support stopping it from moving so it flops out.

for that reason i need e-caliber axles.

your pulley is a hybrid of that. It should remove the inner wheel bearing and exchange it with a wider bearing that acts as the inner wheel bearing + the pulley support bearing at the same time.

So I should try taking one original bearing away and using the pulley one instead. Will try
Thanks!!!
