Post your shiny new bike stuff thread

[Rob Rides EMTB]

I’ll kick it off!

Haven’t bought any new bike bling for ages (last was pedals a year ago). Thought I’d try a shorter (35mm) stem over the 60mm stock and some wider bars:

Can’t wait to fit these ?

Burgtec penthouse pedals. Oddly £25 cheaper from Millets via Amazon than Burgtec themselves!

 

[Al Boneta]

Just put on BLCK DMND Butchers

And the Tyrewiz valve things. The novelty of these wore off in about 5 minutes

 

[Doomanic]

Given my history with TL tyres I ought to give them a go...

How are those BLCK DMND’s @Al Boneta ?

How are those BLCK DMND’s @Al Boneta ?

They feel grippier than regular butchers and they are bulletproof when it comes to flats

New spank 800mm bars to continue the yellow customising! Done now!!

Them bars and shorted stem, are they worth the bang for buck?
How’s it ride with the shorter stem ?

Much better. I was struggling with the 60 mm stem that came on the bike, always felt the front was going to wash out much better now. So well worth it for me bars changed to about 740

 

[Doomanic]

bars changed to about 740

What were they before? And what length is the new stem? I've got a 70mm stem and 780mm bar (up from 750mm) on at the moment.

Treated myself to a new Nukeproof Horizon 35mm stem the other day, replies the oem Nukeproof 35mm that came with the bike.

780 before and 60mm stem. The Renthal fatbar lites are 740 and the stem 40mm transformed the bike for me got loads more confidence on the front. I even like the butchergrids now I’ve realised what the problem was I was too far back front feels great now.

 

[Al Boneta]

Just pre-ordered two sets of these

 

[levity]

length?

other details?

 

[Kaelidoz]

I keep on upgrading my bike, went from 60mm to 45mm with a much much lighter stem.
It's awesome, can't believe I rode the bike with a 90mm at the beginning.

This week I fitted an old Selle Italia SLR 135 saddle I just happened to have kicking around. Saving a further 103g. Making no noticable difference to the bike but it does all add up... er... or subtract actually

Will add a pic later

Have you ridden these yet? Comments? Do you know the weight saving over standard ones?

 

[Shane’s1000rr]

Crappy weather grip hopefully ??

 

[All Mountain Coaching]

MM FTW

 

[Gary]

Do you know the weight saving over standard ones?

30g a pair over Alu Miranda's (if quoted weights are reliable)

Just fitted some MM for peak district mud, grit and slippery stone. Not disappointed at all they just eat through it. Will have to see how they wear.

 

[Pinoy-E-MTBer]

Got new shoes..

Blimey that's not much. What about the praxis ones? 30g for £300

 

[Gary]

No. i meant the difference between the Miranda Aluz and Praxis Carbonz
Miranda Carbonz are a lot lighter than Praxis Carbonz (I can only presume the Praxis should be a lot stiffer)

Praxis carbon 375g
Miranda carbon 288g
Miranda classic Alu 396g
Miranda Delta Alu 420g

All weight as quoted by manufacturer and for brose

Al can probably tell you the exact real measured weight of the Praxis
plenty folk on here have the cheap Alu Mirandas someone's probably weighed them too if you're worried their weights are way off

IMO crank arms probably isn't the cleverest place to be looking for a super light or super expensive component, especially considering all the moaning on here about pedal strikes on bikes that don't actually have low BBs.

I run Saints on almost all my non-Ebikes and at first when I got the Ebike wished Shimano made a Saint Ebike crankset. (the shimano E8000 crank is noticably less stiff than my Saints). but now that I've killed the bearings in one motor I think I'd actually rather have a cheap crank that might bend rather than transfer all the load to the bearings/motor in a crash/bail.

Cheers for the info. Can't find anyone that stocks either carbon cranks.

I don't get the pedal strikes thing either myself. Haven't caught them once, maybe it's reading the trail better

Anyone know the weight of the standard praxis cranks on the 19 levo?
- if bling cranks take me under 20kg it'll be hard to resist.

Pretty sure Miranda will sell direct. Fire them an Email
What does your Levo weigh just now?

21 dead with pedals. Next weekend should be a bit lighter. Not the magic goal, but i'm not number hunting this time, just keen. The bike is riding way different nearly 10% lighter.
