I’ve got an occasional clicking sound in my rear end somewhere that is driving me mad. I only hear it when turning or carving. I’ve already installed shims in between all of the bearings. It’s a Trampa gear drive, and right now there is two shims per side. One between the slave pulley bearing, and the first wheel bearing, and then one in between the second wheel bearing, and the axle nut. Perhaps I need more?

edit: I just needed to tighten my axle nuts more. I think because previously I wasn’t really doing it correctly. Now, I tighten them until they can’t get any tighter, and then I back them off about a quarter turn, and insure that everything is spinning without much resistance.

Ive had this, in my case it was the wheel bearings. Some wd40 on the axle/bearing fixed it untill I got replacements.

@MysticalDork primarily but any input is welcome.

I’ve been using a cheap $20 multimeter and it’s worked fine but,

I’d like longer probes.


The conductive metal part is pretty short and can make certain things unnecessarily difficult.
Other than that I’m not even sure what makes a good multimeter. Very open to suggestions

Those look like the type with removable probe covers. Give them a tug, the part past that prominent finger-blocking ridge, and they should come off and expose more metal.

That kinda looks like a cap with a hole on a regular sized probe, are you sure that isn’t a removable sleeve?

The feeling when you used something for years, and then get told a basic fact about it that you never knew. :dotted_line_face:

does anyone recall the early days when clamp mounts were the meta, hubs and dd were the next big thing, and pneumatic wheels weren’t even widely marketed? dual 6355s pulley setups were the shit back then, we also had carvon, jacob and early hummie hubs and a few mechanical professionals who made their own dual 6374 hub motors

Sup bro welcome to here!

i recall earlier than that. now the community is now mostly snow boards w/ wheels, pocket mtvs. hard to come by a faithful mid-performance-level longboard-cruiser profile commuter

FFS I made a shitty build thread what more do you want?

But for rizz though this is false. There’s plenty of 10s/12s e-longboards being built that can easily be carried with one hand.

How could I get my hands on a puck receiver in Finland? From Apex the shipping is around a hundred euros which is insane for a letter-sized part. Bioboards doesn’t sell just the receiver, haven’t asked though:(

Does Hoyt ship there?
