What did you buy your ebike this week?

[Trickz]

Just need a bike now £29 on offer for the wtb sl8 race saddle..for me after dozens of different saddles this one in medium/large sit bones is like it was made for me..so comfortable yet it doesn’t look it.

Lol

 

[Hamina]

A small upgrade to the current Rockshox Deluxe Select+ RL

 

[Trickz]

Lol

Hopefully the bent one will be picked up Monday and bless them cJperformce has pulled in a favour from another retailer to get me the same size large reign+2 which hopefully will be with me by the end of next weekmust admit great bunch of lads there and tbh the damaged one I have here was packaged and setup the best I have seen..just not dpd protection proof

 

[EMTBSEAN]

Did you then decide to do away with the cover?
Thanks for the tip!

Your welcome Sophie, Yep, but only because I got fed up with removing it (which was a little tricky) to wipe away the condensation but it was effective at protecting the display, I have since fitted the Kiox upgrade which is so much better than the Purion, one day I will sell the Purion display protector

 

[EMTBSEAN]

Finally got a decent bike stand and crossbar thing so I can put the bike at any angle I want and it'll stay there instead of slipping!

Same as mine, the best one I’ve owned and so much cheaper than park tool

 

[EMTBSEAN]

Yep, £20 from Halfords.

Much better than clamping on the seat post.



I'll let you know tonight, just threw the bike in to quickly test it. Can feel how much more solid it is though.

Gonna get one of those too, I don’t like the weight of my bike on the dropper post, thanks for the heads up mate

 

[beanzz]

I just did the same I'm looking forward to it because holding a 23kg bike by a dropper post is anxiety inducing

 

[EMTBSEAN]

Absolutely, especially when it’s an AXS Reverb dropper

 

[EMTBSEAN]

Hope Fortus 30’s with Pro 5 hubs ebike specific hubs I know this probably isn’t cheap but after looking online for these for quite some time when I finally found a supplier I just hit the “pay now “ button and gave a monumental sigh of relief

 

[Bear-uk]

A cheap dt swiss 1900 hybrid rear wheel in 27.5 in order to mullet my 29er.

Postman Pat just dropped these through my letterbox, 4 days late though bearings, press, extractor kit and drift DO YOUR RESEARCH ON SELLERS, I RECENTLY DISCOVERED THAT KINETIC BEARINGS SELL EXACTLY THE SAME BEARINGS FOR £15 CHEAPER THAN QBIKES, I’M NOT HAPPY ABOUT THIS

Charger 2.1 rct damper upgrade for the 2020 Lyric.
SKF wiper seals.
Foam rings..
‘O’ rings for Debonair shaft
Fork oil and Sram butter grease.
Headset bearings.
Gave the fork a service today,
For anyone who is interested the difference between the stock seals and the replacement SKF is very noticeable. The stock seals are nearly 3 years old and the material was hard and not that pliable compared to the new SKF seals.. the foam lubrication rings were filthy black as was the oil that drained from the lowers during strip down. This is the second time I’ve serviced the fork. For the time it takes to service the fork I’m definitely going to record ride times and service as required.

Very pleased with the Charger 2.1 rct3 damper upgrade and fork felt buttery smooth after service.
It had a good workout in the the hills above Innerleithen in the Scottish Borders on Saturday.

New GX derailleur to replace the old NX one after > 6.300 km (I accidentally "kicked" the old one on a quick descent last week, but it was quite wobbly already anyway). After figuring out how to correctly set the shifting up (thanks to YouTube), everything's running smooth again.

I’ve just ordered a Joyseat, can’t find any info on the forum about them, so interested to see what turns up, the smiling butt kit arrives tomorrow

You will have to let us know how it is cos, 400 quid just does not seem worth it

 

[theremotejuggernaut]

I wonder why there's nothing about them on the forum...

400 quid??

It better be comfy, I'd need a good sit down after spending that much on a saddle!

165 Atlas Cranks and new BB.

For £390 I’d want it do the pedalling

Yup, I’ll report back . Like everyone else says it’s a tad pricey . The logic behind it makes sense to me and tbh I’ve probably spent more on all the other saddles I’ve tried, so here’s hoping

Not sure, what’s the going rate in your neck of the woods

 

[VWsurfbum]

Step 1 arrived from Czech Republic to the Uk. Not bad considering I ordered it 5pm Friday, so far so good.
