When you say gears do you mean on the freewheel or internally in the motor? Because I switched it to 11 to 34 tooth freewheel but both the original and the aftermarket still had the same sound.
It sounds pretty normal to me when I spend the wheel backwards
It clacks when under load but it seems to be louder at lower speeds...maybe because road noise drowns the noise at higher speeds. I'm trying the warranty route. How does one take the case apart on a hub where the phase wires are on the rotor side?
Yes I am. I'm in no rush right now....too cold out. It's been a week so far. So when I put the hub motor in should I use automotive grease or use some ptfe based lubricant in it? They want me to send the old hub back.
I agree but sounds more like missing tooth on one the internal gears.
You were right!
don't know but I did get the replacement but with the brake rotor holes undersized. I pulled the motor when I got the new motor but when I was putting it together the rotor holes stopped me from reinstalling everything.
No, not even close. I had to buy a tap&die set to get it right. Also had to buy new rotor screws since two of the originals I stripped the heads. It seems as though they didn't Tap the holes deep enough. M5 x .8 is the thread size and pitch. Murphy's law all the time.
