    Chain oil

    I used to use Muc-off wet lube during winter and then the dry lube during summer (what's that?). I cleaned my drive train regularly in between applications. It was always a bit of a mess to clean and I was never really happy with it. I switched to Fenwicks Professional Lube when I received my...

    What did you do to your EBike this week?

    Bar and steerer cutting tool by "Toseek" and Tungsten Carbide hacksaw blade by Plastiplug. Both ebay purchases. Cutting tool required a washer to space it put a bit as the TC blades are a bit thicker than normal.

    YT SL ebike

    Respectfully, that's a load of shit. I have a Fazua Ride 60 and it's great - it might well die in the future, and probably will. My previous Bosch CX did as well at just over 1k miles. Have you not realised yet that we're all beta testers with this tech? Spesialized were masters at selling...

    Anyone recommend a decent value low range torque wrench?

    You could do a lot worse than this - I bought this set after all my nice tools that I spent 30 odd years adding to, were stolen last year and I had to start from scratch, with no budget either. This has served me well and has caused no damage - LifeLine Essential Torque Wrench set

    Shimano XT Brake Rotor Noise

    Mine are the same - more of a clunk when stationary. Silent when riding, even in the wet with the Galfer green pads. Std Shimano pads were horrendous.

    You decide !!

    There's a very nice condition Mondraker SL that's on your list, listed on ebay right now - 2700GBP! Looks legit too. EDIT - FRAME ONLY! Also, I'd be looking at the Whyte E Lyte bikes as well.

    Can't you attach it to the handlebars right next to the stem?

    E bikes stands

    I have a Park Tools bike stand, but rarely use it these days. I bought one of these last year and it's great for 99% of maintenance. Very well made, sturdy and great for washing the bike and oiling the chain.... https://www.giomashop.com/en/products/29-stilo-bike-parking-stand.html

    5 years of EMTB

    5 years ago I bought my Haibike FullSeven 7.0 and had so much fun on it, until it was stolen last June. I was looking around for a mid power, lighter EMTB by then and it was pure chance that the Haibike Lyke was the bike that fitted my needs. While the Lyke is better in almost every way, I do...

    Haibike LYKE - Show and tell!

    Yes, I love this bike. Only changed saddle (a must) and 35mm Cannondale carbon bars and a PRO Koryak E stem. I did have a nice DMR Defy stem but it didn't play well with the stem mounted computer, in my case a Sigma Rox 11.1 Evo, which works well with the Lyke BTW. Brendog Deathgrips...
