Thanks. It's only 350 watts, so maybe that's why there was no heating problem. And I have been up long climbs in 32-33 degrees Celsius. Nowadays I don't torture it so much, because a good chain and a casette are not cheap, and on a longer tour I have to save the battery.
The sprag clutch slipped and the metal housing of the torque sensor broke after about 8,000 km. I am now at 15,000 km, since then the central shaft broke and I recently had to replace the torque sensor again. I will soon upload a video about the improved axle.
@@mksmith713 Do you mean the torque sensor? Unfortunately, the iron part of the torque sensor is broken. I tried to weld it, but approx. It lasted 8 km, then the welding itself broke. If it weren't for that internal polygon of internal design at the end, I could produce such a part with a lathe from a much better material.
I also made a video about replacing the torque sensor. ruclips.net/video/6KaWK-GvpVo/видео.htmlsi=mss-wBfadIF07oe8 A lot of things have to be dismantled, but it's only moderately difficult to replace.
I chose it because I do a lot of off-road cycling and I was afraid that the larger display would be more easily damaged. Otherwise I'm happy with it, except that the grip switch is starting to get stuck.
Nice info.! Thanks. No problems with the motor heating?

Did you replace the sensor and clutch out of necessity or was it an upgrade like some of the RUclips videos I’ve seen?

@@mcelec7603 I'm guessing it was more cost effective to repair than replace?

the torque sensor looks hard to replace , was it ?

Are you happy with the XH 18 display? I like the fact that it is low profile and not noticeable

@@mcelec7603 Thanks for your reply, this is the same reason I like it too.
