Help! HELP with QR ON EBIKE

[Abzy]

if the rear frame has drop outs there is not much you can really do as thru axles screw in to the frame.

Also I've got a Sunrace CSM55 8AV / 11-34T, can I not convert it into a thru axle conversion I've seen others do it on YouTube

there all the same tbh just clamp it as tight as you can or you need a frame with thru axles 12x148 boost is the new standard hub wise

I tightened it as hard as I could but would the dt Swiss ratchet 5mm be better ?

yes but it wont be anything like a thru axle but it depends what you use the bike for my m8 has a 1000w bafang motor he goes to work on and has dropouts and not had a problem

tho if he raced me down a mtb trail it will fall to bits

Even if you mange to tighten it further - you've filed the dropouts and every time the axle moves just a bit, steel will keep on wearing away more material from the aluminium dropouts so that over time they will become even looser. Steel putty is a composite which contains steel - not as strong as steel - so that will also wear away. Welding aluminium on will change the properties of the heated part of the aluminium frame.

So what should I do to stop it from wearing away

I don't think you can. Buy a new secondhand frame. It really is the best option IMHO.

Could someone find me a cheap frame and someone who's willing to take my old frame rough how much would I get out of this old frame? Since it's only been about 6-7 months

You'll have to keep searching ebay periodically, gumtree etc. for a frame compatible with your components
