Hi guys, I was hoping you could help with my spoke-cracking problem.
I bought an Oxydrive 26" kit last year (250W). They didn´t have 26" in stock, so the kit was delivered with an aftermarket rim. After a week or so the spokes startet to crack. They sent a new set of thicker spokes and I built the wheel with the same rim. After a week or so, when on a trip it startet cracking again. I stopped at a bike-shop and they changed the rim and spokes and used a stronger spoke pattern, but again after a few days it startet cracking.
It is a cargo bike (larryvsharry bullitt), however, I have another Bullitt with the same Oxydrive kit on an original rim and have never had a problem with that.
I read that because of the motor e-bike rims should have a bit of an angle so not to strain the spokes to much. That is why im trying to find a strong e-bike rim and DT Swiss spokes and to build the wheel one more time.
Thanks for youre help
