not that loud tbh
Hi @MorrisHsu, I’m looking at wheel options, excuse my ignorance, can the drive take a kegel wheel or is a different part needed?
He’s unlikely to respond here anymore. As it stands right now it doesn’t support kegel properly. You might be able to add/remove the mounting posts to make it work though

I was looking at those wheels posts and wondering that, however Murphy’s law dictates the drive posts will be out by exactly 0.75mm
cheers!

@sofu maybe you can help me out. One of my motor thrust bearings shredded the cage and threw the ball bearings.
Do you know where I could source a replacement? I looked on McMaster Carr, but none of their parts seem to be an exact replacement, and I’m hesitant to #yolo with load bearing parts.
It appears that my good motor thrust bearing is ~7mm thick, ID of 8mm, OD of 22mm. The mount hole that it fits through appears to be 33mm.
I found a needle thrust bearing that meets the RPM requirements, ID and OD, but it’s too thin. I assume that I can just add washers, but I want to confirm that idea.

You can certainly just add washers. I got these and if I remember correctly they worked fine with a washer so you can certainly do it https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0192SOXN0

Nice pictorial thanks, the spacers seem to go on before the adapters. Possibly to give more support to the wheel gear?

BTW those still choosing trucks, the adapter fits on to a BN220 hanger beautifully.
Edit: But would benefit from some 1mm shims on two sides, you do not need to file the hanger at all @amanuelamanuel

Oh I’m not using these, thanks though. They look sweet, just thought it was cool of you point that out for others

@sofu just got the drives and i’m confused at some things. first, can’t find the video.
Second for what or where to the rubber seals go?
And about the wheel gear. Is there really no adjustment needed? Drop it on and the wheel will keep it in place? Without the wheel in place it has wiggle room or even drops when upside down until it hits the housing, is that normal?
That goes onto the wheel gear, I reckon. V-Ring
You are right, i think that step was missing from the user made written tutorial but was present in the video (i finally found it)
I’m really bummed that they don’t work with kegel…
Does the v-ring have to go just around the gear and be smushed or does the thin part have to go between the gesr and the housing? (impossible?)
or between here
This is correct, just gently press the V-ring against the housing.
The thin angled rubber part will act as a springy bit, it will rotate on the housing surface and will keep dirt out. Make sure you use a bit of grease on both the housing and vring to keep the rubber from wearing down and squeeking.
And maybe I can machine you some kegel adapters in a few weeks, lets see.

Perfect. I currently mounted it dry to see if it even works. Lo and behold the very first grub screws were missing. Gotta buy new ones + grease, not sure which but i will hopefully find out.
that would be dope!
this is how much wiggle room/backlash it has.

You should have haggy adapters in there and Timo has them on sale…find another few euros and get those!

Yes, might be the easiest way since its one solid steel part. I also converted one of the EBS abec pulleys to kegel like that.

Ooof thats minimal, i see why he does not have the compatibility for kegel, those holes are in a smaller diameter i think
