I used the powdered Rit dye on mine. I would definitely recommend it. There was no warping and the process was really simple.

Looks like a lemo connector, I might be wrong though. If I am not mistaken lemo connectors are quite expensive

So many parts fucked from just that little thing, if you canāt get it out.
Wish the cutouts to remove motors with pulleys attached was a standard design feature.

Absolutelyā¦Its just to a new pulleyā¦ attached to a new motorā¦AND A FUCKING 1.5mm allen key. Like thereās no chance for anything gripping it for removal. The person that chose to go with 1.5mm grub screws needs to be punched in the dick.
At least amazon sends me a replacement.

haha you better baby that setup and pray for minimal maintenance.
Can always cut the shaft off with the pulley and replace it/ use the short shaft in a gear drive.

I actually broke one of my Wera keys the exact same way. But God was being gracious on that day, and the stuck piece fell out on its own, so I could use another hex key to save the day.
@moon recommends Bondhus hex keys, and itās what Iāve been using ever since as well.

Def will. Itās weird so far , Itās definitely loud. Not daring to turn it up full volume in the house. Going to test it out doing mundane stuff like cleaning too.

Yeah its lemo
Came back from an hour and a half ride on the flex , damn does my feet and neck hurt.
Initial impressions: itās nice , hits a good volume where I can hear my music and lowers to a volume where only I can hear. I paired it with my Apple Watch so I can control everything from there. I had to cross my left arm across my body to lower or change the volume but it didnāt make me feel unsafe.
It being in your body allows you to feel the base better. I donāt remember what I charged it up to but after the ride itās 70% Wish it was USB-C but Thatās alright:
I donāt see it fall off unless there was a dramatic jerk and even then it would just shift. It doesnāt make my neck hotter really since riding around is cooling me down. Itās slightly noticeable thatās itās there (feeling wise) but not enough to bother me.
