What did you buy your ebike this week?

[Cell4soul]

installed the Jack Components V2 Inline pump holder. Weighed the bike again. Bike is 41 lbs, 9 oz, fully ready to ride with pedals, EDC tool and pump. This is a size large running mullet with a 160 fork. I am really good with that.

A companion in way of analog frame

Got my 800wh battery upgrade from the stock 625 on the Giant Trance. Just over 300 grams difference. Not bad considering I was running a range extender at nearly 2kg

I’ve bought some elbow protection after falling off and getting a severe infection.

Forgot to say that when putting them on there's no need to read which is "Left" and which is "Right" because they tighten outwards.

 

[DrStupid]

Linkglide finally arrives! Dealer sent me this picture asking if I still wanted it... hell yeah. Bought em both. Lol.

Tyrewiz. Maybe a little frivolous, but it will be nice to check them with my SRAM app that manages my Fuel EXe and AXS shifter.

So a little present from my teenage boys. Great to see they have acquired impeccable taste and an appreciation for the finer things in life as they mature into young adults

Bike stuff.
Xmas Day brought me a rather nice Tee shirt, some Fox gloves to match my Fox shirt. Underneath from left to right a OneUp Components magic link opener and closer, above it an OUC bacon strip insert tool, an "On Ewer Bike" beermat and finally a pack of Bacon strips for use with the insert tool.

Trailer hitch for the car and a carrying rack.

Great looking rack (I've used that line before ) I picked up a 1UP rack last season (single version also in the silver anodized). Quite a lightweight quality build for the price. I have to store mine in my basment with a winding staircase and it's so ight to carry up and down. If I can get my wife to Ebike, I'll add another bike tray. I have a black SUV and would have preferred the black aluminum model, but you were smart t get the silver. The black, I've read tends to fade to a purplish color. I also like how easy it is to pop off and store in my car, rather than leave it attached and exposed to thieves in lonely trailhead parking areas. The flimsy locking pin system, is it's only weak spot IMO.

Saddle

Saddle

View attachment 103576

Ha! Enjoy it . . . I picked up two of this exact same Ergon model (they have so many models) a few months back. First one was from my LBS for $159. I liked the first one so much, I also picked up one for my other ebike when I came across a new one on Ebay for like $40 off. To me, the mark of a good saddle is one that you don't even think about anymore while riding. That was not the case with the OEM Bontrager saddle, I found it very uncomfortable. I even bought the same small/medium size as you as I found by measuring my sit bones they were a narrow 4 inches apart.

After struggling to get my bike onto my present bike carrier and temporarily fixing it and stopping it falling out the carrier I decided to get myself a Buzzrack E-scorpion 1, I’m glad I did because even before I’ve used it for the first time it just feels so much better in construction and overall build quality is better too, my old Thule Ride-on has been great but I just needed something better, bought from the Roof Box company at a great price, here it is in fold up mode

View attachment 102246

That looks great. Be interested to hear how you get on when you’ve used it?

I’m in the market for exactly this and had assumed Thule were the best?

Santa’s little helper (Amazon courier)just dropped this off, a late Christmas present from my lovely wife I know what I’ll be doing this weekend, thanks luv

 

[SwampNut]

I got tired of gauges that disagree or aren't very repeatable, so I bought one that is guaranteed to be calibrated and will be the ultimate judge. Since I'm currently experimenting with pressures in the range of 19-21 front and 20-23 rear, even just a single PSI of change is big.

 

[Slymobi]

Wow, crappy Christmas!! Been bed ridden since Xmas eve and only just got the energy to see my gifts. Here's bike related stuff

And a Muc off Jersey that's in the wash ( always wash new clothes it's an OCD thing lol ).

 

[cozzy]

A set of grip2 40's from merlin at the stupid cheap price of £1099.

Is it "for my bike" if I bought body armor? As I get faster, I get more and more worried about our plentiful rocks. A couple weeks ago I had an absolutely stupid high-side in a nearly flat and straight section, proving you really never know when you're going to get tossed. My knee is just now ok. I'm going to try two different knees and see which is better, local shops have little to nothing for armor.

And here is me with the cheapest aldi floor pump, putting it somewhere between 20 and 30 both ends and not noticing any difference whatsoever.

There are many things that are subtle or hard to notice for me, but tire pressure is one of the critical ones. It may depend on terrain and tires. I have large tires, and extremely mixed terrain. I can go from super soft sand to a shale over granite hill climb in a moment. High pressure means digging into sand, and low means damaging the tire/rim on the hard rock.

I upgraded to a 170mm PNW dropper post as my bike came with a silly 125mm!

 

[EMTBSEAN]

A pair of Hellerman three pronged grommet spreaders for when I fit my new Kiox display, I’m a bit of a worrier and I’d rather “have it and not need it than need it and not have it” and for the sake of £20 it’s not worth worrying about, only downside is that they won’t arrive until between the 6 and 12th of January, oh well it’ll give me time to gather the other things I need

Seems that Santa was busy with eMTBikers

I needed a new helmet to replace my MET Terra. Due to lack of stores carrying my desired helmets I went online shopping.

Head size 58-59cm, round flat head, as I found out.

MET Veleno MIPS, Large and Medium
Large was my first choice a couple of weeks ago but surprisingly to wide, sitting on eye brows, medium ordered these days and not bad but in max. width still little tight and high on head.
Returned

POC Kortal MIPS - Large and Medium
Great ventilation feeling when trying on in direct comparison to the other candidates.
Large to wide, sitting on eye brows - no way to make it fit well, medium to small with pressure dents on the sides.
Returned

Uvex Quatro cc MIPS
Large was fine, a little low on the eye brows but felt overall good.
Returned.

FOX Speedframe Pro
Medium quite tight and returned.
Large comfortable and kept because of better ventilation feeling than with the Uvex.
The fid-lock is the best at all!

Yes, what a number of helmets. . What an ordeal, ordering, picking up from DHL station and now preparing for return and following up getting refunds from various stores. I really wish not to have such experience again.

 

[2WHLFUN]

Wow, that a lot. I find that me 150 is too much.

There are some large jumps and drops that I like to hit along the Front Range of Colorado.

 

[EMTBSEAN]

A pair of 155mm Hope cranks for my Whyte e150rs, even though I watch what I’m doing on the trails I still get the odd peddle strike, Hope…fully this will reduce them altogether

I just bought those too (in silver, for my Reign E+ 1), and the difference is dramatic. First day using them I had terrible cramp in weird muscles of my legs at the end of the day, but since then, glorious! Enjoy

I blame the parents.
