    This Park tool (or earlier CCP-4) makes it easy

    @Emailsucks98 - Dang! That’s the first I’ve heard of a sudden catastrophic failure like that on the TQ motor . I hope they get you rolling, with motor assist, soon. How many miles do you have on the bike? Mrs levity and I are off for another three week trip to Utah with our EXes In late April...

    Only you can answer that for your riding. Are you having to squeeze too hard? Are your rotors overheating? In principle you'll get more leverage and a lighter pull for the same applied force. Shouldn't hurt, especially if you're a heavier rider riding more aggressively.

    It had to happen sometime - Electric Snowboard

    Zany idea. Could be hoot at times, but heavier than a boat anchor. It must have massive drag in the back when descending unless you could lock the wheel up. Don’t even think about jumps! It seems more like an e-scooter for hard pack snow than a snow board. I think I’d be over it in about 10 min.

    Yes, the plug for my EXe looks just like that with the outer pin of the pair longer. Never noticed that before, but it’s worked fine for over a year, so I assume that’s the way the connector was designed For a reason.

    Sorry to heat that, @Dave_B :oops: Curious as to how it happened. It might help other to know what model bike and what type of removal tool. I use a Park CCP-4 tool on my model 9.7 crank arms. Easy, breezy. Did the damage occur during tightening the crank puller or during the actual crank arm...

    wide tires (and low pressures) are appreciated when traction is critical ;) front Bontrager XR2 3.0; rear Maxxis Rekon 2.8 both on i36 29" rims

    I wonder why Trek’s RE is so clumsy??? Specialized has their REs integrated smoothly. Can you run both Trek batteries down simultaneously?

    Standard DT 350 rear hub

    If you keep the Star ratchets clean and lubed (whenever they get noisy), you should be fine with the 36t ratchet. I’ve used the same 54t ratchets in 350 hubs for years including non-ebikes, a full power Levo (~3500 miles), and a Levo SL (~3000 miles). I like the quick engagement of 54t.
