Fixed - I was able to add 2 washers for a temp fix but then my order of the RadCity Axel repair kit came in, added that washer instead and all good to go.  Did 15 miles yesterday with zero issues.

How about the Home Depo ??  :D

No go for Home Depot, I was able to add 2 washers for a temp fix but then my order of the RadCity Axel repair kit came in, added that washer instead and all good to go.  Did 15 miles yesterday with zero issues.

FYI, the Area 13 Controller upgrade rocks!  Yes, a few less miles in range but I never used all of the miles/range anyway.   The upgrade in power is double.

I ordered a set from Rad late last week. they did not have the Torque washers by themselves in stock, but they did have them as part of the RadCity 5 Axle Hardware kit. it was worth the little bit extra I paid since I also got all the mounting bolts too, and they fit my RadRunner v1. :)

Ah, great idea, will order today.   Thanks!!

Seems the back Torque Washer is missing on the rotor side and RadBike is out of stock, does anyone have a link for in stock torque washers?

You must have a spacer or washer out of it's normal place.

Yes, that was it, the torgue washer was missing on the brake side.   But I have another issue, for some reason now the brake is rubbing against the rotor (the back screw nearest the rotor), I've tried adjusting the brake caliper and reinstalling it about 4x times with no joy. 

Any thoughts on why this is now?  With the brake off the wheel spins easily, add the brake caliper back and it totally rubs.

Thanks,

Hello, I know I am out of warranty, wanted to know what I did wrong with tub swap. 

Had a flat on rear tire, swapped tubs and when I reinstalled the rear rim the brake rotor now rubs on the brake metal mount where the screw (only the back screw hole/mount) rubs bad against the brake rotor or disk.   

What did I miss?  The tire does spin but stops due to rubbing on the rotor.    It worked fine before the swap.   Thanks in advance.   - Mike

Service & Repair / Display mileage/speed issues
March 25, 2022, 02:21:14 PM
Hello

Have a 2018 Rad Rover with 950 miles, the display will be fine after charge and power off and after about 2-4 miles the speedo and miles will stop recording, speedo goes to zero and miles stop recording.  Sometimes if I reboot the bike it will come back and do the same thing, if I pull the battery off it will work, for 2-4 miles.  I cleaned the sensors out on the crack and back wheel.  Like I said, it does work on a fresh start, but will stop after a few miles.   The other options are fine (ie. watts, total battery left).

Any thoughts?  Hate to order a new display.

Mike
