    What did you buy your ebike this week?

    Freebie today with leisure lakes loyalty points. Got a co2 inflator with a couple bottles of gas. Friendly chap gave me some better tyre levers too. Managed to get the inflator, levers, two canisters, pack of patches, soft link, small cloth and a tubolito in the void in the down tube, above the...

    Review Tannus tyre armour

    I’ve left tannus in the front but trying tubeless again in the back With a tougher tyre. I eventually found two pinches in the tube in the pics, at the start of the thread. A case of YMMV I suppose.

    Sorry, I was referring to the material used for the tubolito types tubes. The orange material in my pictures, my bad.

    so now all of a sudden everyone here finally believes lighter weight Emtb's do actually handle better?

    I’m with you. Eebs More planted for sure. That sort of thing is influenced by rider preference, which brings the topic into a subjective area. Gary is in my view dead right about tyres, the narrower I go the more I like it. This might support Gary’s thread title as it is making my bike feel more...

    Can the butyl tubes be fixed with self adhesive lezyne type patches or, do you have to use special ones?

    What did you buy your ebike this week?

    on the tubolito site it talks about three specs, a road only one at 50gms a tougher one at 80 gms, which I got, and another heavy duty one that was over a hundred gms. I will certainly shop more carefully for my tubes in future, I paid more than I should. thanks for the heads up regarding inflation.

    What did you buy your ebike this week?

    After my tannus experience recently I’ve ended up with a tubolito tube for the emergency pack. Very small and only 80g for the strong one. Patch kit to suit. Also new 2.35 Magic Mary, heavy casing, soft orange compound. Tyre measured 2.44 on 38mm I’d rim. Bit more room for stuff in the head tube.

    Review Tannus tyre armour

    Hi, update as promised. Partly due to the slight controversy, I took my bike to the bike shop to diagnose the flat. Rode most of the way,lol. They really do run flat for a long time. Unfortunately both the tyre and insert suffered damage and a new 2.35 MM was fitted with heavy casing, tubeless...

    Review Tannus tyre armour

    Yes, the conditions here are far from ideal. Since they were fitted only days before I had not even thought about deflation.. The armour is certainly compressed now! Can’t see it recovering any time soon. I’m going to strip and diagnose the flat now I’ve time and update. cheers

    Rapid Brake Pad Wear

    Stock rsc stoppers here with hope disks. A set and a half of sintered pads have done well over 3k miles!!! Either I’m not trying hard enough or some of you need to stop dragging brakes. I do a lot of fitness miles with little braking involved which may be skewing things a bit, but still.

    Mission Control battery health always 100%!?

This batt is my third and was replaced with the current motor in July. This motor is showing 3380 miles. Doing quite well I’m pretty pleased. Only reservation I...

    In praise of the Specialized warranty

    Kind of agree, and feel ya vis a vis Ducati. However in this scenario majority would have been up shit creek for a few hundred. I too have had motor and battery replacements, also a remote. Bet I’ve had 50% of my money back In replacement parts so far. We’re early adopters, almost beta testers...
