Pulled my board apart tonight and noticed my chains seem a tad rusty.

@Andy87 any advice? Was thinking of a wire brush and re-lubing it. I’ve been lazy with applying lube since I lost my old toothbrush.

Spray with wd40.
Let set for a few mins (5ish)
Soft Wire brush / toothbrush
Wipe clean with clean dry rag
Re lube.

Damn! I’d @least tell my boo “If you’ll wait till I get home, we’ll do it together”. You two should work on your bromance.

I’m legit gonna miss joe.
I’m gonna miss having esk8 friends in general.
I’m also gonna miss riding.
Back to the rain and no esk8 for me.
Especially since I found out the battery I was gonna use is probably shit.

Yeah this is pretty upsetting. Should’ve went ahead and slap him for that one.

You still got 82 cells right? I’m sure you can lick up and get 2 more. Use that welder and make something bruv. 12s7p on that mtb and you’ll never look @ building the others lol.

@Skunk Did you get the DWII from Klaus?

He damn sure did…

After all the lube…

@Saturn_Corp take @Skunk advice.

There’s an actual WD40 rust remover. It’s like magic.

What do you think about CorrosionX (HD)? I used it on my bicycle chain before. I don’t know how good of a lubricant it is, but I guess it’s at least fine and the excellent corrosion prevention properties are undisputed.

Yes

Still can’t. Small apartment. Scared wife

That’s complicated

I’m taking it beck to Oregon.
But it’s kinda our board more than my board.
Something Klaus can ride while he’s here too.

Lol. Her nose is crazy good.
I opened abs cement on the back porch once at 1am when she went to bed at 10.
She came out and asked what the hell I was doing.

Find a local Maker Space and do it there? Not sure where you live and what the area is like, but industrial district based companies may be OK with you renting a small 10X10 spot of floor space for a few hours. Rent a Storage Garage with power for a week or two.

Good place to find motor sprockets with grub screw?

McMaster has just what I’m looking for… Just does not look like they come with setscrew threaded holes. https://www.mcmaster.com/2302k93

Is there anyone else using Metric roller chains in the USA? Can always get one from Overion or Etoxx but importing a simple sprocket seems irrational.

When I was looking at 06B chains, I found that RS Components had a pretty good offering.
It’s not too hard to drill your own set screws holes if you have a drill press and the right quality bits.

Guy here does Kevlar belts on his bike n they last forever. Fixed gear. I don’t understand how people are breaking belts on their eboard. Maybe they’re not getting Kevlar belts. There’s some fancy Kevlar belts n cogs with strange profiles out there I never see on a board.
Chains are simple. If doing a chain worth getting g burly 1/8” n with the torque being way more than a bike n bike chains sometimes snapping seems appropriate. Track or bmx size.
