Folding mini-bello e-bike fate!? I want to solve the strange noise

My favorite car is TERN "Vectoron S10".Although it is a mini-bello e-bike, it is good to run regardless of appearance !!! E-Bike that runs very well and is good.

Its popularity is continuing.I think the compact size is also popular.Because it is a folded e-bike, it is practical to be able to put it in the entrance when storing.

Vectoron that is folded and convenient.However, these folding mechanisms have something like fate.That is, a noise comes out of the movable part, such as a folding hinge.Well, the movable portion of the bicycle has an abnormal problem everywhere, but the folding mechanism of the mini -velo seems to have a strong tendency.

And there is a strange noise from my Vectoron.An abnormal noise from the folding mechanism.The same is true while driving, and even if you stop and apply force to the saddle or handle, you will hear the sound.

After this Mishimishi noise, grease -up, etc., it was fixed temporarily, but after a while, I got a strange noise again.Mainly from the frame folding part in the center.

Then, I greased up again, but this time it did not fix it.I brought it to a folding bicycle and mini -velo specialty store "Cycle House Shibuya" and had it fixed.Then it was fixed ♪

However, after a few months, the sound of Mississimi began to come out again.Once again, it is a mushimi sound from the frame folding part in the center.I taught me how to grease up in "Cycle House Shibuya", so I greased that part ... but it didn't fix it.

折りたたみミニベロe-bikeの宿命!? 気になる異音を解決したい

No, this Mishimishi sound.I'm not happy with Hijio for mental health.The fun of cycling is quite spoiled.I wonder if I brought it to "Cycle House Shibuya" ...

That's why I was riding another e-bike around the spring and summer of 2021.There is no folding mechanism, so there is no mushy sound.

And around the end of summer, I took Vectoron after a long time.I feel like it's a waste to ride too much.

Then ... that?No matter how you run, it doesn't come out.Oh, comfortable !!!

Well, but what kind of mushimi sounds do not come out naturally? Why? Why? Maybe the grease has become softer or melted due to the temperature rise during the summer, so that the hinge is well -soaked into the hinge?Is there such a thing?

Oh, maybe it was lowered air pressure? Actually, I put air in the tires because I got on Vectron after a long time.I thought, "Let's take advantage of the cushioning of the tires and get on easily," and injected the air pressure than usual.

Anyway, what is it? Thanks to the temperature in summer? Or thanks to the air pressure? I would like to run again with higher air pressure and verify it.
