Introduction |
| My rear hub on my electrified S2 broke a while back. It constantly felt like I was in too low of a gear. Unfortunately Vanmoof was not particularly helpful in identifying the problem via the help chat and it ended up being faster to just [link|https://www.reddit.com/r/vanmoofbicycle/comments/s3wvsr/vanmoof_s2_back_wheel_wont_turn_backwards_also/|post|new_window=true] a video on r/vanmoofbicycle. From what I’ve seen lurking on the sub, this is a common problem with vanmoofs. I didn’t want it to happen again so I figured I would upgrade the hub to something better. I thought I’d share my experience since a reference like this is something I wish I had had during the process. | | | I had changed the inner tube on my old bike a few times but other than that, I basically had zero experience going into this project. There were a lot of terms and measurements I had to learn to order the right parts. Throughout the article when those things come up, I’ll try to link to definitions. If I miss something, [link|https://www.sheldonbrown.com/|sheldonbrown.com|new_window=true] is a great resource! |
