What did you buy your ebike this week?

[Renton_Yorkshire]

UberBike E-Matrix pads front and rear. Got them on my other bike and really like them.

Rears fitted, fingers got too cold to carry on with the fronts . They're another day!

OneUp bars and direct mount stem for my DH Kenevo SL build. Manitou Dorados will be going up front, currently undecided on the shock. We’ve got a fair selection in the house so I’m spoilt for choice - Manitou Mara Pro (though this is unlikely to fit in the shock tunnel), Ohlins coil, Fox DHX2, Fox 24 Float X2, the mystery RockShox blackbox shock from ebay…

DT Swiss 27.5 rear wheel to try the Norco as a mullet, was cheap enough on eBay so buggerit

Also bought some other stuff but not for any of my bikes

Rich.

A bag of these dog biscuits thingies for the Marzocchi Bomber rear.

PNW range alloy bars, 35mm rise, PNW loam grips and PNW range pedals. There was a great sale at the PNW store, lol.

Oh, and Miranda cold-forged al 150mm cranks. No more pedal strike zone.

How are those Miranda cranks? good quality?

They're cranks. They go round and round. If you bend them then that protects the motor. They're cheap. Use 155's on our Trek Rails. Got a spare set in the garage.

Cycplus AS2 pro

Got tired of the massive 51 tooth cassette and derailer catching trail trash. I also never used the 45 or 51 tooth sprockets, so downsized to a 10-45 and medium cage derailer.

Cycplus AS2 pro

I just picked one up recently as well. We had one of our kid's friends along for a 6 mile trail ride. He got a flat about 4 miles in. I pumped it back up with the Cycplus AS2 Pro. He was able to make it all the way back home to make a proper repair. I am pleased with the purchase. It gives a little extra peace of mind for those longer rides.

Very nice! How do you like the Shredda tires? I am interested in picking up a couple of alberts to test here in the high desert.

I actually like them a lot, I think the Alberts would be better on hard pack or slab rock, but loose or soft terrain these are great!

Great, that will work perfectly for me! Thanks for the feedback!

A new lid to replace the one that saved me a concussion when I smacked the back of my head into a tree on Roots Manoeuvres.
I’ve always used the 100% Aircraft 2 and they’ve been fabulous — I didn’t even have a concussion when I hit the ground hard enough to crack the shell of the helmet — but it’s become really difficult to find one in stock and I’ve heard rumours that 100% aren’t going to be doing full face helmets anymore.

So this time I’ve gone for the Alpinestars Missile Tech Solid helmet, which was a bargain at £150 (down from £400) courtesy of TradeInn. It fits a tiny bit better than the 100% but could do with a tad less crown padding, but as the pads pack out it should be spot on.

A new front brake because the tektro brakes that came stock on the Powerfly 5 can’t be rebuilt. I mean, theoretically they can IF you could buy the gorram parts.

My LBS is a Shimano dealer and maintains a decent selection in stock. Ergo, after fighting with bleeding the Tektro brake multiple times and still having an air ingress issue, I bought a brand new 2-pot front brake and installed it. I’m already impressed with the component quality and how easy it is to bleed. Needless to say, once the rear brake starts having issues, it’s getting replaced with a Shimano.

Well where's a pic of the tyre? Or is it a secret?

Is there a story behind this? Replacement or is it the first time there’s been a display on your bike?

 

[BAh30]

Bike didnt come with one so i added one with the help from the orbea forum folks.

1m of 20mm wide Velcro (or should that be hook and loop?) strapping. As the old Velcro was getting grotty...and even after a good wash and scrub it still looked grotty with mud stains, grass, seeds etc that was beyond the time/ effort / patience of removing with tweezers.

Have similarly tried to clean Velcro and also failed to remove embedded shit.

Does a van to cart it around count?

It’s a bit of a change from my current bike mover which is an 1986 ex-army Land Rover 90.

Yeh, it gets to a point that its easier to replace than try and pick all the trail detritus out, and the mud stains will still probably remain. And the old stuff is still handy and useable around the house/garage/shed/garden.
