Tmec 200

[rvl8rida]

Here we go...

My Tmec 200 arrived yesterday.
I don't want to say where I bought it from yet, as I want to give them a chance to fix the problem.
But... I called before I placed my order to make sure they had the motard style wheels and tires, and the sales rep said " absolutely, just make sure you put it in the notes of the order"... so I did.
I'd like to note here that the only reason I bought the Tmec over 3 or 4 other options was for the wheels and tires. (expletive deleted)
It came with full blown knobbed off-road tires..

I hope they try to fix that because I have 3 friends waiting to see how my experience turns out to decide if they want to order some Chinese bikes.

Next... Ive read about this before, but I already had a smaller sprocket waiting when the bike arrived. I had read that people had problems with snapping the bolts off, but that cant happen to me right? wrong

The first bolt I tried to turn out of the rear sprocket snapped right off.
So I didn't even try to pull the other ones out.
Now comes all the questions.

#1
Does anyone have any fancy tricks for getting bolts out of the hub that seem to have the strongest Loctite known to man in them.

#2
If I just leave the 5 bolts in the current sprocket, can it be driven like that?
I feel like these bikes don't have enough torque to rip 5 bolts out of a hub.

#3
If I order new wheels, Do they have to have the same hubs? or can they be different as long as the disks match up with the caliper?

#4 Damn it ass poop fart I just want to get out and ride.

P.S.
I'm going to have to shop around here in pa to find a notary that doesn't want to send my MCO and Vin Etching to Harrisburg to get approved because of this damn L at the start of the VIN
