What did you buy your ebike this week?

[BangorPootsy]

Bought a new Chain for my 'new to me' bike. Took the cassette and derailleur apart and did a deep clean on them. I've Shimano Zee brakes to fit at some point so should be fun to get to grips with internal routing.

I can see why you have a rear mudguard!

 

[Tombie]

Fitted an Ergon - hear nothing but good things about them so I’ll give it a try.

 

[RustyMTB]

I don't have a compressor, so it's can I be bothered to gather my skirts & get on with it? £30 though, totes barg.

I've found Maxxis tyres easy to inflate tubeless using a floorpump. Pop the tyre onto a clean rim, use a paintbrush to apply a generous amount of soapy water then inflate. You should hear that nice popping sound. Then deflate and put the tubeless sealant in through the valve.

Great Buy btw!

Try this:
It worked for a stubborn tire I had that wouldn't seat with an air compressor.

Try that with a DH compound DHR2 and see how far you get...

Worth a try before the sealant goes in. I learnt the hard way to leave that until after the first inflation and satisfactory pops.

I'll see your Barrs bottle & raise you the B&Q repurposed weed sprayer, ghetto tyre inflater 2.0. Still a pain in the arse though. Usually I'll put it on with a tube, take the tube out & go again with one side seated. Always gets there in the end.

I’ll take them odds rusty, although your blaster does look next gen .
The Barr has never let me down. It gets a bit sketchy around 40 psi though cracking the beads over my marvic rims. But at £1.19 a bottle what can you expect

 

[Planemo]

Brilliant! Just a Q...I'm going to hazard a guess that you charge it through the schrader in the lid...? but how do you 'switch' the output? I can't see an on/off valve?? I guess I better be looking up diy ghetto compressors

I've seen people duct tape those pop bottles for that extra 10 psi. We're mountain bikers, living dangerously is where it's at.

Correct, input through the lid with the hose clamped, valve out of your rim, pressure up and unclamp, hooray, your a genius

I bought one of these (€25).
Remove the solid part of the sprayer after the trigger and replace with plastic aquarium tube. Works every time!

 

[Semmelrocc]

RockShox 30 Silver TK 26" Coil 100mm for just € 40 (from RCZ bikes – good to know they're not a scam ) . Will be a little autumn/winter project on one of my old bikes in the shed.

 

[p3eps]

A small parcel today... an Industry Nine iRiX headset top cover, to replace the badly colour matched Wolftooth one I have.
Some nice free stickers too

 

[Beaker2135]

Another small thing that makes a big difference
Heartbeatz reads my Apple Watch and displays it on my Garmin
I can’t use a chest strap because I don’t have any electrical signals from my heart it's ok I have a pacemaker
I’ve been after one for six months but they have been out of stock. I had to get this from the States, the postage was almost as much as the gadget

 

[Ushtang]

Excuse the dirty bike. Sram GX Transmission. Definitely the smoothest SRAM drivetrain yet for eMTB.
I had refrained using the single press/multishift feature on the old AXS. But it works very smoothly with SRAM transmission.

 

[EmtbChar]

Upgrade time for my gen3 base levo carbon:

OneUp Carbon bar
Marzocchi Bomber CR coil shock
Marzocchi Bomber Z1 coil fork and soft spring
Raceface turbine r 30 front wheel (cuz I couldn’t find the specialized endcaps to replace the Rockshox torque caps)

In transit: Sprindex progressive spring & gen 3 Levociraptor!

Benji wants the boxes opened asap!
