BBSHD: The good, the bad, & the broken...

[@dennisyoung4631]

Awesome *Red* grease - looks like Mobil-28.

[@craigrmeyer]

What other BBSDH failures have you experienced personally? And what did you do about them?

[@johnnylong2049]

Try to be in the lowest or biggest cog in the rear most often. Heard people who has the bbshd save their nylon gears by having proper gear ratio. Like 48t chainring and 48t cog. 1:1 ratio.

[@phnomnolimits]

Thanks for the tip. I have a 48t in the front, not so much in the rear. I love the torque but prefer the speed

[@dennisyoung4631]

Uh, I tend to do that when my knees/legs give out. Usually 2nd from bottom gives a satisfactory pace (10-15mph) - as if I’m that tired, I’d best slow down some. Note: my chainring is 42 tooth, and the bottom gear on the cassette is 42 tooth also. I geared with the idea of bad hills and heavy (trailer-towing) loads. Pedaling tops out at about twenty mph.

Nice

[@johnnylong2049]

How long did you wait for the buzzraw? Thinking bout getting one. Where did you order urs?

[@johnnylong2049]

Also is that a 120mm bbshd or 100mm bbshd?

[@Jujubees225]

Do you know how that happened? Did you run it at high temps over 150F?

[@phnomnolimits]

Not at all. Just regular riding under 120F.

[@Jujubees225]

Recently got the HV kit and the kit says to avoid going over 131F. Were you running it over 131F for extended period of time/?

[@phnomnolimits]

Never reached or passed 120F with these nylons. I finally got a peek from HV and it has been solid with temp up to 141F. I understand its not bullet proof but it is much more reliable than peek for sure.

[@Jujubees225]

@@phnomnolimits wow now im worried lol. Ive been going over 113F consistently going full throttle on short periods.

[@Jujubees225]

@@phnomnolimits from the teardown I did not see any putty over the temp sensor. You must have false readings on 120F with the wind possibly cooling it.

[@phnomnolimits]

@@Jujubees225 I will definitely look into getting some putty

[@theokingshango]

wait till they come up with dough gears

[@Jujubees225]

Was this a stock bbshd or ludicrous version?

[@phnomnolimits]

This is High Voltage ASI BAC855. They are finally selling peek now.
