Running out of Peatys Premium All Weather Lube and everywhere I look is sold out of the 120ml bottle

Peaty's LinkLube All-Weather Premium

Swalbe Eddy Current 2.6” tires. I rode them today, awesome! They were a bear to install, but well worth it!

 

[irie]

Bought two pairs of 50mm Reserve Fillmore valves to be used when switching tyres from Assegais to Magic Mary fronts and DHR2 rears for Winter.

Muc-Off's upcoming "Ludicrous" valves seems to have reduced Reserve Fillmore valve prices a bit.

Edit: 50mm

 

[Mik3F]

Some Sendhit hand guards for my lads bike

 

[Anders]

Oneup EDC 100cc pump and tool V2.

 

[Astro66]

2 more Quad Lock Stem Mounts. Plus 2 additional stick on mounts. Bought before and work real nice.

 

[Mik3F]

3 pairs of gloves from ebay for £20

I only wanted the Fox Syndicate Ones so my lad can have the other 2 pairs

 

[JStrube]

Bought two pairs of 70mm Reserve Fillmore valves to be used when switching tyres from Assegais to Magic Mary fronts and DHR2 rears for Winter.

Muc-Off's upcoming "Ludicrous" valves seems to have reduced Reserve Fillmore valve prices a bit.

I just ordered 2 sets of Fillmore valves and was surprised at the price, $49 a set, for valves! How much are they over your way & how much were they before?

 

[Mrj35]

derailleur, shifter, cassette, chainring, chain.

 

[Astro66]

I bought a 3 inch phone that will mount permanently on the EMTB, to act as a bike computer.

Which guitars did you sell to buy that shock?

 

[Mik3F]

A pair of Dfyrs Coffindodger DC park pants

And a free pair of Dfyrs Socks too

 

[sundayslacker]

Battery extender and Fidlock mount, mount feels rock solid and imho looks better then bottle cage and a strap.

What make/model did you buy mate? Battery life OK?

What make/model did you buy mate? Battery life OK?

I did a thread about it. Have a read.

Keep in mind. I'm using the phone exclusively as the EMTB computer. I have a Pixel 8 as my mobile phone.

3 inch Phone as a EMTB Bike Computer

I've been using my Pixel Phone, running the Shimano ETube Ride App, blue toothed to my Shimano motor, as a bike computer. It works really well, giving motor, heart rate, and ride statistics. It also directly links to Strava as well. But when I'm on really technical trails, it gives the phone...

[EMTBSEAN]

Some 1mm thick foam for my battery, I’m performing a process of elimination to find the rattle on my bike and as I discovered one of the foam pads was missing, this was another place to investigate

 

[EMTBSEAN]

A new cassette to replace the previous fake cassette, this one is a genuine Sram part

Hello, I bought the 2023 Turbo Levo Comp. Yes, the battery life is fine, never have a problem. But I’ve never owned another EMTB to compare it with. Here was my latest rides started with 100% and finished with 26%. I do all my rides in trail mode.

 

[T8COH]

Tyre fitted brilliant for road use so much less rolling resistance. Can only imagine more miles per battery . Raised fat bars with 40mm lift makes riding a bit more pleasurable on the straights.
De-restricted so wireless speedo fitted to show true MPH . Very happy so far .

 

[VWsurfbum]

The one that came on the Orbea is poo. hopefully this will be better.

 

[EMTBSEAN]

A spare derailleur hanger for my bike, maybe one of these days I’ll buy myself or my bikeself a hanger straightener, I must have spent more money on hangers than the price of a top drawer hanger straightener, oh well it is what it is

 

[JStrube]

Last time I bent a hanger, I bought a top shelf replacement, it was billet aluminum, not cast.

In the 2020’s I bought the derailer hanger straightener because I needed it often. Several other bikes in my area also used aluminum derailer hangers and I would occasionally bend them back to where they belong. Park Tool had one and it was fairly accurate and easy to use.

A few years ago I switched to the Sram AXS shifter and haven’t bent a hanger since. The aluminum hanger is a sacrificial component that bends or breaks so that your derailer is less likely to be bent or broken.

The AXS derailer has a certain amount of “give “ during a crash and quickly returns. This probably saves both the derailer and hanger from some damage. I have also broken two NX derailers.
