Some good and cheap grease.

Creavenger · January 16, 2020, 3:24pm

Thanks! Already got this however

Creavenger · January 16, 2020, 4:27pm

They are sooo sexy
And man I really needed a good beer opener. You are the best! @NoWind

The bottle opener’s pinions are a bit sharp. But that guy is on my keychain with my other keys.
The assembling doesn’t take that long.

Mainflow · January 16, 2020, 5:10pm

an hour max.

Creavenger · January 16, 2020, 5:51pm

No time tonight

Doesn’t matter. It’s going to take a long time anyway with two right gear drives.

You’d finish installing one and then be thinking, wait a minute, didn’t I just install this one? Where’s the left one?

Creavenger · January 18, 2020, 1:02am

Thoughts on the mesh like this? @NoWind @rich @Andy87 @taz @Mainflow. Not sure if I got the backlash on point.

Mainflow · January 18, 2020, 1:29am

Looks good.
Do you have a keyway?

No doubt, the backlash is too much. You want as less backlash as possible. The best way is to mount a hub (or just slide it on the axle with hub adabter) and tighten the axle nut so the wheel gear is 100% true. Usually I insert all 4 motor bolts but keep the 2 below the gear loose (slideable). Then I go to the point where no backlash is and barely slide the motor away and tighten the 2 bolts. Afterwards I check the backlash all around. Sometimes it’s first try, sometimes it need 3 times, never did it with the “paper trick” but the wheel gear should just wiggle a bit everywhere, that’s it.

From your pic I would say you could go down about to the red line.

With too much backlash you decrease the durability and strength of the wheel gear. Also with more backlash than on your pic the tips could break e.g. when jumping. I really abuse my gears and there is zero damage, I climb hills where I thought first I gonna crush the gears (and not possible with belts). Also jumping is no problem. As long as the backlash is not too much you can’t kill the gears.

Edit: Unfotunately many hubs wobble a bit which can affect the backlash. So in a perfect world you adjust the backlash with the same hub which you gonna use later (with tightened axle nut). But you have to remove the tire to be able to tighten the motor bolts.

Yes its an 8mm key

Creavenger · January 18, 2020, 8:49am

Thanks Rich! I will take my time and adjust it

Andy87 · January 18, 2020, 8:55am

Like @rich said I would get a bit closer with the gears. What helped me a lot was watching @NoWind video

Just pay attention to the sound and amount of backlash when he wiggle the hub after assembly.

NoWind · January 18, 2020, 9:10am

Too much backlash !!!

Thanks andy and rich.

Creavenger · January 18, 2020, 10:21am

Cleaned the gears because I thought the backlash was okay at first and already greased them yesterday oh well live and learn, im glad I asked you guys to make sure. Working on getting it done right

esk8manbabes · January 18, 2020, 10:24am

Nice!

I see you have managed to work that right into a left.

Creavenger · January 18, 2020, 10:27am

Magic

Mainflow · January 18, 2020, 10:49am

I think, you’re done?

Creavenger · January 18, 2020, 10:57am

I think im good, if I go any further I loose the clicking noise.
