Well done! The video does not really show how steep some of the upper parts are. I've ridden there once with a group and Fart Squirrel is still spoken about with varying opinions from mates about Fart Squirrel being the most frightening trail they've experienced. I loved it!

The upper section is something else. Super steep with some big chunk in there. Tricky trail that!!

@@sce8arl Hello. Thank you for your reply. In the description of the video, it says that it's the Brose 2.1 S Mag motor, which reassured me. At the time, I thought that Brose had probably solved the problem of water infiltration on the Brose 2.2 S Mag motor, but I now realize that this is not the case. I use ipone waterproof grease to seal the motor at the bottom bracket. I've never opened the motor, so I don't know if this prevents water from penetrating it.

@sce8arl 2 ай бұрын

I’m don’t think the grease will be enough to stop water ingress. I added a small seal to prevent water getting to the small roller bearing. The strip and rebuild is pretty straight forward if you’re handy with mechanical stuff. I think the 2.1 and 2.2 are the same but not 100% sure.

This is so frustrating, i know people who have 6000 miles on a motor with no faults then people with 600 miles motor failure 😮 my levo turbo 2022 model did 1000 miles and had motor replaced wasn't failed just stuck on sometimes very lightly! Just had the 2023 comp model fingers crossed 🤞🏻 feel afraid to ride it knowing this happens, but i have 2 years warranty so just guna thrash it for 2 years see what happens

@sce8arl 4 ай бұрын

For sure. I’m sure you’ll be good but if it does fail then at least you know it can be fixed. Was a pretty simple job to be honest so long as the electronic parts don’t fail. As with most electronic stuff it’s often a bin job. I would say that though as a mechanical engineer 😋. Fingers crossed.

Thank you for using our bearings. As you probably noticed, these are genuine bearings direct from Brose the motor manufacturer. You may also have noticed that the two outer crankshaft bearings are specifically designed as "anti-creep" bearings. They use the specially shaped outer seal, to stop them rotating in the case and wearing the motor housing (This damage happens, incredibly fast too!) I noticed your recommended bearings do not have this important addition. I won't mention any of the other issues, except for the bonding (gluing) of the large pulley bearing (PLB20124). As this is a magnesium case, peening it with a pop riveter doesn't work and even from the factory, this particular bearing is bonded in with a high strength bearing fit. Without this, the bearing creeps out of the housing slightly and rubs on the belt cover causing a small misalignment of the belt pulleys, which snaps the belt and fill the motor with carbon and magnesium dust... Ask me how I know :)

@sce8arl 4 ай бұрын

Many thanks for the comment and thanks for your help when I spoke to you last month. I’ve got some loctite 638 here which I’ll use for the large pulley bearing.

@sce8arl 4 ай бұрын

@@mateuszp374not too sure to be honest. Probably 3mm. The deeper the seal the further the roller bearing is offset which would result in the bearing not sitting in the centre of the axle load bearing area.
