Yep. In many cases, you get better grip on ice than during summer on the same trails, as where it is muddy during summer, its hard ice during winter. I also do some motorcycle enduro riding. There we use 7mm long spikes. And lots of them in each tyre as well. When riding on hard snow or ice, it...

Well, its a matter of interpretation of the law, I think. We need to have suitable tyres for the road conditions. If you are cought (perhaps after running off the road) with summer tyres during winter conditions, it's an offence. So everybody in their right mind have two sets of tyres for their...

Put on my studded tires. Its getting close to winter, we have had some days with icy roads already. The tires are the same as I used last winter; Schwalbe Ice Spiker Pro, 2.25 wide. I rode approx 500km on them last winter, they still seem OK to me.

The winter is coming soon, darkness falls before I can get out on the bike during weekdays. Allthough I use my bike to work a couple of days a week (approx 16 km each way), I also have to go out in the evenings sometimes. Did a 25km trip yesterday, mainy on tractor roads in the forest. Earlier...

A pair of GripGrab Nordic 2 winter gloves / mittens. Their description says they are to be used in temperatures between -5 and +5 degC, which I think is appropriate. Above +5, I use my 100% Brisker gloves with good results, and below -5 I guess it gets cold using anything but thick mittens. I...

I use Shimano 12 speed, tried 6100 (oem) 7100 and now 8100 chain. Replace at approx 0.5-0.6% wear as measured by Unior tool

I'm now on my third chain after one year's use (3000km). I mounted the second one at 1000km and the second one after approx 2500km

I got 1.24.6 this morning. Huawei / Android in Norway

Welcome! I am Norwegian. I don't ride a Giant, but I think you will find quite a bit of info in the Giant subforum.

I guess this is why Bosch sells the SmartPhoneGrip. I have never seen it, but is seems to be a phone holder that is able to charge the phone via a connection or wirelessly.

I don't have an IPhone, but I guess it's not the Flow app as such, it more the fact that you use the screen all the time. At least on my Huawei Android phone, using the screen is what really sucks the battery empty. I use the Flow app for tracking all my eBiking activities (have to, since I'm...

I am quite happy with my RRP ProGuard bolton for my Fox 34 Float Rythm. If you need more protection, they also have bigger variants.

I had some plywood cutoffs, so I made a small rear wheel stand, handy when oiling the chain or adjusting the derailer. It lifts the rear wheel just a few cm off the ground, so the working height is quite low. It works quite well when I am sitting on a chair beside the bike. It couild be used as...

Answering my own post here I have later replaced the front Polisport with a RRP bolt-on mini. Although quite small, it keeps the water and mud away from my face and eyes. Not som much from the frame, though. This is not on a Cube, but I hope its still relevant.

I had a similar budget. My though was that it is better to buy a hardtail with decent components than a full suspension bike with mediocre components (and then spend lots on upgrades). Hence I ended up at my local shop with a heavily discounted top-of-the-line Haibike hardtail (Alltrack 11) with...

I use this one: Sykkelbaklykt Light5 Blip, 60 lm (The text is in Norwegian, but google translate will take care of that). The best about it is that it has an accelrometer inside, so it turns on as soon as the bike starts moving. The downside is that I have to take it off to charge it (using...

My app (and bike) was upgraded a few days ago, but I cannot really see any changes as I am not a Flow+ subscriber. I like the new statistics, but I am not prepared to pay for them. My four currently selected modes are Eco, Tour+, Auto and eMTB. I might however try out Eco+ (to get something...

Mounted a set of seconhand OneUp pedals, greased the front hub's ball bearings and replaced the front brake pads and washed the bike. Then rode it (y)

Yes, it counts! [emoji23] Please tell us all about it!

Thanks for the advice! For my motorcycles, I tend to keep quite a stock of different spares to avoid the wait when spares are needed. I guess the same is valid here [emoji4] How long do you usually ride between rebuilds? And how long does the pins last?
