What did you buy your ebike this week?

Ours is invisible. Not seen the bastard for a fortnight.

Does nobody love you? Maybe there is nothing for you?

Our postie is on a first name basis!
He’s here almost every day!

 

[Arminius]

Postie? Maybe your wife……

I don’t know what you guys are worried about? Our postal lady is kinda cute. So is the cleaning lady, and the pool lady, and the Amazon delivery lady, and the dog walker lady, the milk lady, the security lady, the…

I’ll start the ball rolling, this week she’s had. New kmc chain, cassette, renthal ring. Also mech and dropper cables. New front and rear pads. A new bar remote(warranty). Fork service.
Hoping for a couple of spend free weeks now. Big mileage costs!

I bought Gojira (the Trek fuel exe 9.8 XT) a one up dropper because the one it comes with is ludicously short so I don't get enough of a drop. Also purple one up grips. By the way I have now become a dropper post expert because of the dropper post thing. When someone says to you, "You should put your seat down" and you reply, "It is down," well, there's a problem.

The Fuel EXE that I’m getting (medium alloy) comes with the 150mm dropper. It’ll take another week before they install a 170mm instead. It may not be the best dropper but it will give me a bit of time before I switch to the 170mm AXS reverb …eventually.

Had I known about how short the dropper was, I would have had them swap it out. I wondered why the bike felt a little off and thought it was my riding style, til I realized the seat was in my way. Til my dropper shows up I will have to do a modified "old school" (get behind the seat) thing. Very annoying. I'm not sure Trek thought this through. 120 would have been better to come standard with the bike. I think it's the problem all bike manufacturers have with trying to decide what size person fits a bike, inseam length, etc.

The AXS reverb 170mm barely fit on my medium Rail. There is more room on the Fuel EXE because the seat post doesn’t have that bend like the Rail.

I always struggle getting my helmet off, in all my gear ,with the Fox helmet "quick release" clips. I guess I AM an old dog and that is a new trick. Its time to change them!

I’ve been a good boy and waited until the warranty was over.

Riding for a while with Magura MT7 Racine calipers with Shimano XTR levers. Recently I did a refresh on my Canyon Torque ON.

I received a new set of MT7 Racline with Magura MDR-P 203mm rotors for the Spectral ON. Now to find some time to mount them on the bike.

Also received a set of MT8 Raceline for my DJ.

Because I'm more liking the Shimano levers. I exchange them for the Shimano XTR M9120 levers.

What are you going to do with levers HC3's I'd be interested in.

The tools for removing my headset bearing cups just arrived courtesy of Yodel, when I say “tools” I was referring to the actual tool, and the “Tool” who tried forcing the actual tool through my letter plate, it would have been quicker to walk to our back door and knock, THE FOOL oh yeah it was £10 from eBay as appose to £40+ for a Park Tool equivalent, maybe if I was in a shop situation I’d be more ready to part with that much cash but it seemed to be a no brainier seeing as I only intend using it just the once I hope, time will tell I suppose

95% of my tools are rarely used, but there it is, sitting in the drawer, ready for action.

I might need that tool someday.

The tricky part is remembering you already have it, and not ordering another one when the time comes to use it.

Just don’t go asking everyone if your bum looks big in them.

5'10" and 76kg with a big bum, does not compute!
