All respect, these Meroca style smart brakes lights are $15 on ebay. What improvements do you get for $30?

I donā€™t think they are the same to be honest
Will look to it thank you

For what I look to it
Is the first one they make 2 seconds one are well made but quality
Anyway
All the best :sunglasses::sunglasses::sunglasses:
(Sorry for the offense)

Well if you know anyone else who runs a phone for a Davega let me know :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Looks like moderator consensus was to move the text & picture ads to the Black Friday Sale thread. Iā€™d say thats a fair call.

I think itā€™s important that we remember there are only 2 moderators for this forum, they arenā€™t always online over the weekends. The flagging system exists for a reason, and a post getting flagged until a moderator has time to look at it is part of how Discourse is supposed to work. The content was still viewable with a single button click, so itā€™s not like anything is being truly censored.

Havent ridden em long. As for the details i really dont know how it happened. Last night we were out riding and it was just fine. Tonight, went on a beer run, noticed torque was lacking and brakes were weak, and had an odd noise when turning left. Got to the store and noticed my wheel was no longer moving with my motor. Odd. I had grinded down the ends of them a bit, but that shouldnt have compromised the bases like this. And im using plastic core wheels again. Very very odd. Im just glad i already had a replacement drive train en route.

No offense at all!

I was more curious about what features are in a high quality smart light.

Looks like i found the one on your shop (at least it looks the same)

But Iā€™m sure your shipping is faster

Thereā€™s also a new Xlite (xlite 200) now with carbon fiber

Are were the pins pressed in, or machined?

Like into the wheel? Just pressed in. The last wheels on here had metal cores and were a serious pita to put on or take off, which i guess couldve weakened them maybe? Idk. Seems like its just another point of failure discovered on torqueboards stuff to me, if a pretty rare one. I still got 3 or 4 of the pins in my wheel core lol.

I might be interested in that, actually, but none of my stuff is abec core xD


For now, i just did some surgery.

Edit: @rosco the pins do appear to be seperate from the adapter, actually. Ill try and get a good shot of itā€¦


Best i could get with my phone. The pins appear to be rods that were inserted or perhaps welded in or something, then it was all anodized over at once, i think. They were pretty thoroughly destroyed, i think you can see the cracks going towards the middle on that pic, but there are flat spots in the middle too, where it snapped. I just dont get how anything put it under so much stress o.e
