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...
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?
The number of links is an easy one. just count the number of links on the old chain ;)
Regarding the type of chain, I use Shimano chains myself. But I am sure there are othere here with more knowledge that can reccomend one.
A pair of secondhand OneUp pedals. Looks quite OK. There are some scuffs, but I presume some damage would have come very soon even if I had bought new ones.
I replaced the cassette and rear brakepads for the first time, after approx 2500km. I used the same as OEM, Shimano M6100 cassette and D03S organic pads. The front pads are also soon up for a replacement.
I think your friend has the answer right there [emoji4]
As a general rule, I would say that a 4-pot caliper has a bigger piston area, hence need more oil volume to move the pistons the necessary distance.
That would generally need a bigger piston in a 4-pot mastee than in a 2-pot master. If...
Installed a RRP Proguard mini bolton front mudguard.
I bought it in error a week ago. Intended to buy the standard (longer) version, but hit the wrong button on the website. However, as I looked at it inside its plastic bag, it looked quite OK. So I decided to give it a chance.
And just to add to the confusion; I just tried another time, an this time it started without any complaints. I'll take it out for a ride tomorrow morning and see how it goes. My thought is that it could have been some moisture somewhere in the wiring harness that now has dried up.
In any case I...
Thanks. As the bike is under warrany, my LBS (the seller) wants to have a look before I do anything.
I have an appointment there on Tuesday. So in the meantime I'll just clean it and wait...
Pulled out my old Merida from the shed. Its from the nineties. I took it for a spin. Felt awkward the...
Yesterday it happened again, when going down a quite rough track. I guess the vibrations was to blame.
The problem this time is that it remains, last time it fixed itself. I am unable to turn on the bike. I see that it briefly tries to connect to the phone, but give up before the connection to...
Yesterday, I installed the Oneup pump. Used the in-line mount. Put the EDC V2 tool inside the pump.
The picture was taken after my ride this morning.
Obviously, I haven't used neither the pump nor the tool much yet, but I'm sure I am going to need it from time to time.
