There is no argument other than the one you started. Just because someone says the sky is red, doesn't obligate me to take time out of my day to amass scientific evidence to the contrary. My posts stand on their own merit already. I always try and include examples meant to show a reasonable, prudent individual I am not just some schmuck with a chip on his shoulder running his mouth. I try to never, ever use an argument from authority. If for no other reason than there are so many morons on the internet pretending they know wtf they are talking about.
There is no argument because you can't offer any evident that support your posts, other than your personal experience, your personal mistake.
Which do not apply to general or majority of ebike community.
I don't. Really. But when I see someone saying demonstrably wrong things - especially considering where we are, a place where people spend real money they may not be able to afford to waste - as a matter of principle I can't let misinformation stand unchallenged. I worry mostly about the people who come into a thread days or likely months afterwards. If they see hogwash go unchallenged they may act on it and suffer accordingly.
Wrong things according to you doesn't represent wrong things for everyone else.
Pretty much not. Its happened only in the context of back and forth with you, personally and its been a part of a general thread cleanup. In this thread I think it was, as well. A whole conversation was wiped out, and the community was the better for it.
Pretty much not doesn't equate to zero post deleted.
The one where I recommended an inexpensive fail-safe practice as already described and re-described? I'll let the community decide that.
What fork failure have you seen on cheap ebikes with a hub motor specifically? are there numerous incidents that you can provide data on?
Do rear hub-motored ebike not represent majority of cheap ebikes sold or used?
under What community? does this community represent the majority of ebike users?
The answer to the first question is obvious. It has already been well articulated, and I even gave links that will send you directly to photos of fork failures, and discussions of the problems that come from same. A reasonable individual will easily be able to understand that shearing off fork fropouts and freeing an axle while riding can lead to injury.
Articulate your own personal experience and mistake do not represent majority of ebike riders nor general ebike users.
Personal experience are just anacdodal, not representation of majority, nor ebike community in general.
Your second one is just more of the same what-aboutist, smokescreen. You are deliberately misrepresenting the content of Post #46. Although.. I guess I am the one who was harmed and that was what the post was all about - providing that evidence of the consequences of a simple mistake I made - that others should be able to see they can easily make themselves. All this horses**t you have slung since then is just you being a negative influence on the community. Again.
You offer zero evidence that cheap ebike riders have actual accidents when their hub-motor is used without torque arm, just you assume that since you have had a failure yourself. Reasonable person would call than anecdotal and not a representation of general users.
You think reality as what-aboutist, smoke screen, when in fact cheap ebike workers log way more saddle time than most recreational riders.
When someone buys a bike, it is no less thn a thousand dollars, generally. Often a lot more than that. That investment. Giving poor advice with holes in it introduces risks that the person who relied on what you said will lose the hard earned money they quite possibly can't afford to lose via a broken bike, or a bike that can't do what they need. In the current case, no torque arms result in permanently broken parts like forks and bicycle frames. Someone who cares about the people they are advising will be mindful of the fact they may cause someone to spend hard earned money - or lose it - from their words. I try to only advocate 100% solutions, and if its not 100% I'll advise what the risks are going in a cheaper or less-capable direction. What matters is people are given the ability to make an informed decision. Not one polluted by a personal agenda.
Yet here we are again, you've managed to contribute nothing but another string of posts that need admin to delete.
You're out of touch with majority of folks that actually ride their cheap ebikes for long hours or even a living.
Your assumption & your spin on safety or investment for front hub motor torque arm requirement does not apply to majority of cheap ebike users with rear hub motor.
Your 100% solution do not apply to majority of cheap ebike users, therefore invalid for the majority of ebike community.
Inform decision are made when people are given information that apply to them, not absolute 100% solution that do not apply.
Your personal experience and mistake do represent your personal agenda of advocating for 100% solution that do not apply to the general cheap ebike community.
