to be fair it may have been one of those things where they used the CAD software's autogenerated exploded diagram. which is the kind of lazy thing i'd do if i worked in the bike industry.

You pretty much just proved the kids point....

 

[Westy]

I don't read manuals and use a hammer for everything, never had a problem.

 

[jonKranked]

Look at it this way:
1) there are two bearings in there.
2) there is a spacer that supposedly butts against both bearings to space them properly
3) there is a lip in the frame that you cannot see that contradicts previous spacer.
4) if two bearings and spacer were all there was the assembly could be pressed in from either side
5) the diagram, if one assumes is accurate displays situation 4

I thought you had a technical background?

i look at enough other technical specs in a given day that i come here to get away from that. also, see my prior statement in post 156

Do you not comprehend those as well?

 

[rokcore]

That's what I was thinking. Either eliminate the web and use a spacer, or eliminate the spacer and use the web for locating. I can't see why both are necessary, seems odd.

What's more confusing is why not just do it the way the diagram indicates in the first place. Seems like it would save time having it all go in one side?

 

[jonKranked]

i honestly haven't looked at the YT exploded diagram. here it stands for "Y Tho"

 

[CrabJoe StretchPants]

You're Tricked

 

[Changleen]

Oh my god, take some personal responsibility man. You done fucked up. Is this how you act in your relationships and general life?

Also, there are 100 YouTube videos on this sort of thing.

Also, IMO YT make some pretty great products. The overall design is well thought through, well executed, has high attention to detail and looks great. They make really nice bikes.

Your CS experience anywhere is at least 50% your issue. Lots of people love them.

Basically ragging on a company because you’re a fuckwit isn’t a good look. Pull your head in.

What's funny with all this is I went through the same exact thing months ago when tearing down my frame. The main difference being I let common sense set in a lot quicker and realized it wasn't put together the way I thought it was based on the diagram. but at the time, I was just as confused and frustrated as to why they did it the way they did. I just didn't destroy tools or start a thread about it. But I get it.

High attention to detail - accurate drawing. Pick one. I take plenty of responsibility for my choices and why I'm critical of something that should be as simple as clicking a button in the CAD program

That is the lower pivot in the front triangle. I think he was just showing that to show how two bearings being pressed in or out from the same side wasn't unexpected.

maybe i'm missing something. the bearing on the other side still came out of the other side right?

 

[canadmos]

At YT, did the engineers create that drawing, or did the designers do it?

 

[rokcore]

Nope, both of those bearings pressed out the same side shown in the lower front triangle picture. Nothing between them and back to back as shown in the drawing

you're misunderstanding. on the other side of the frame, there are also pivot bearings that come out of their own corresponding side...

 

[6thElement]

Have we established yet if it will blend?

Yes, that is correct and correctly shown on the drawing in this case

 

[rokcore]

I'll keep you posted

 

[jimmydean]

I'm more disappointed in the color. That is the worst hue of Root Beer I've ever seen.

I thanks the @FSM we have the triumvirate of thread mentions: root beer, trying it nao, and GG. The Unholy Trinity, if you will.

 

[WestCoastHucker]

so my point is still, in every situation in your life, the bearings pressed out of the same side of the object when located on that half of the object. but in this instance (that you have never seen or heard of before) you thought they pressed all the way thru to the other side?
stop blaming your mistake on a diagram because it gives you a finger to wave at. you fucked up, that's that..

[Changleen]

WTF.

 

[Jozz]

who needs an assembly drawing to remove a bearing?

Always though a 2lbs hammer what all that was needed.

Will you take an honorary mention?

Megatrail is on my short list, Guerilla Gravity is a local business for me, customer service has been great so far helpful/responsive and my rear shock can be transferred over after returning length/stroke change

I bet there is a wok in the those pics if you zoom out, just saying.

 

[Full Trucker]

Right? I would think that a reasonable person would assume they would at least get a passing acknowledgement of how insignificant their contributions were, given how little insight and value I also provided. I'm amazed that this has to even be stated.

Will you take an honorary mention?

I mean... if it's on the table as a possibility.

I bet there is a wok in the those pics if you zoom out, just saying.

And probably a hoodie.

As @jonKranked has pointed out:

That's a 1 kilo hammer to you, Councilor.

Or wait, do you still say your hammer weights in lbs/ozs?

 

[jimmydean]

My guess is some chick took that, but I could be mistaken.

Whatever it weighs, using it definitely voids the warranty.

I fucked up by trusting the diagrams but that does not remove responsibility from the company for passing these as technical diagrams
