New saddle day. Same saddle I use on all my bikes.

Sounds like a lyric from a country song
Do you get any wear on the shoulders of the saddle leading to the top surface tearing away from the sides?
I never have yet on any of the these saddle I've had on my bikes. They wear but I have yet to see torn surfaces.Do you get any wear on the shoulders of the saddle leading to the top surface tearing away from the sides?
I like the WTB RocketI never have yet on any of the these saddle I've had on my bikes. They wear but I have yet to see torn surfaces.
@Dannage I used to use Ergon GP2 grips, which are standard Ergon grips but with bar-ends.

The Ergon GP2 bar end doesn't look too far away from the Loamlab Counterpunch and will achieve the same objective. I can see that using the Counterpunch instead of an end plug will be cheaper (should be) than a whole GP2. But the reason I gave up using the Ergon GP2 was that the bar end kept snagging on shrubbery and tipping me off the bike. I don't see that the business ends are much different at all, so is this just a relaunched bar-end?
When bar-ends were more popular the claim was that they allowed a variety of hand positions, thus reducing hand and arm fatigue. I never saw any claims that it reduced impact on the little fingers, although it would certainly have done that, given the correct orientation of the shrubbery (like the Counterpunch).
Took an extended lunch break yesterday and swapped the units over (Cube Hybrid 160). Reasonably straightforward other than (1) actually locating the 6 bolts that mount the motor, (2) making sure the speed sensor & control cables weren't trapped / pinched when fixing the motor back and (3) removing / re-fitting the gromet thing where the cables enter the frame.A Kiox upgrade to my Bosch Purion display as (a) provides useful data on power used, (b) allows for simple navigation and (c) because my Purion is knacked and the display doesn't work ! I don't fancy being out for a ride not knowing how much battery is left !
I have the same on my '22 Rail. My Polar Ignite 3 watch pairs with the Kiox (Retrofit to replace the Purion) but although the Kiox sees the watch it does not display HR broadcast to it by the watch. It's a Bosch thing because it's not on the Bosch list of compatible HR devices (confirmed by an email from Bosch).Took an extended lunch break yesterday and swapped the units over (Cube Hybrid 160).

Overall, very pleased with the new controller and once I figure out how to get my Garmin watch to broadcast HR to it, I'll be delighted !
Some feedback would be useful after you have given them a good go through the woods.The counterpunch is much smaller than the GP2's they are about as long as your knuckles. Can see it fitted in the pics on their site - LoamLab Components – Counterpunch
I got them to try as I like my wide bars but keep clipping trees. No harm in trying anyway.
A tree almost tore off my pinkie finger last fall and that made me kinda twitchy when things got tight. Put a set of counterpunch ends on and besides them working as advertised it seems they gave me my confidence back. 2 thumbs up from me, gonna order a second pair for the Bullit.The counterpunch is much smaller than the GP2's they are about as long as your knuckles.

Great lid, much more comfortable than I thought it would be and a lot more coverage.A new brain bucket.

I’ve been thinking of switching out my air shock to a cool shock too. I have the same air shock right now. I feel like since it’s going on an ebike the weight really doesn’t matter that muchNew shock to replace the Float X. Fitted as soon as I picked up after work and went for a ride, night and day difference. Love it! Twice the weight of the Float X but spanks it so hard

Nice little stand that. Where was that from?Looking wistfully from my bike to the scene outside my window with a foot of snow and temps hitting negative 20F this morning I can at least be happy it’s standing up straight waiting in the new stand I got last week.

Yeah weirdly I saw a review of that yesterday but at £250 I’ll stick with NX cassette at £60ish for the time beingGarbaruk has a 12 speed cassette that fits on hg body
Hahahahahaha!.................. Ebike was starting to look like an all black police bike
I always felt like I couldn't get a proper grip with thoseErgon comfort grips
Mine are being delivered tomorrow. They look similar to the comfort grips that came on my Trek. Most emtb'ers seem to use the round stlye grips which I'm sure work better on the technical stuff and jumps. I'm more single track trails and xcountry. At 74 my bones are too brittle. I prefer my crashes to be on snow while skiingI always felt like I couldn't get a proper grip with those
