What did you buy your ebike this week?

[Doomanic]

It looks just like the image you posted.

 

[Doomanic]

£40 for a bit of laser cut stainless is a rip off. Hope's 2 piece 220mm rotor is the same price and much more expensive to make.

i see you're near me in NorCal, you have to take this bad-boi to Northstar for sure.

Mammoth is the furthest south i've ridden
I do want to visit the trails in Socal
I picked up my SL from Murrieta but didn't get to ride

Since i'm playing around with fork set ups.....

[JetSedgwick]

I've never ridden Mammoth, very much want to go.

I don't have SC Front 29er and don't have an Enve Rear 27.5 for the mullet set up

I just got some new versions of the Butcher and Eliminator tires so I’ll be testing out two casings and two different compounds over the next couple weeks

Wow, 300 bucks for a device that tells you you need to put some air in your tyres!

First I'll lock her up properly:

Normally i just ride with a Bontrager Comp Keyed Long Chain Lock so that I can park my bike for a wee bit, lock it up against something and walk in and out (technically not even really needed to lock it up in this area, but still.... better safe than sorry).

The new locks are for when I go to places where I don't trust that it is enough. The bordo 6500 for the bike's rear, the bontrager will go for the front wheel, the citychain for the thule trailer & whatever object I want to lock to and the loops to loop between all the wheels etc. Of course that is 6kg of lock, but that is the good thing when riding with a trailer, the weight is in the back.

Of course, one has to consider: && ... it will stop most people just passing by from taking my lady.... as a comment on the vid says:

"LPL to English translation: "provides a fair bit of security" = this core is unpickable for 99.999% of bike thieves"

Definitely good enough for where I typically go with my bike & trailer; might survive a few minutes in Amsterdam (where I definitely do not go with my bike )


Now, back to the S&M vid, while she is locked up:

a new 'mostly silent' Air compressor, so I can give her a good cleaning, because winter is actually coming (fresh snow at 950m, yes that means proper snow accumulating in the ski resorts!!! whee )

and then the Muc-Off toolkit for cleaning her up properly:

That should keep her in mint condition, all perfumed and stuff

The most negative thing I have to say about my new Vitus E-Sommet VRS Sunset is the feeble battery range. Completely inadequate for my style of riding which is 4-5 hours on steep long trails anything up to 3,000+ metres.

So, prior to getting my local mechanic to give me a boosting cell-replacement, I've organised an extra battery to take in my backpack. One of these is incoming...

That was a quick jump to judgement. Also it wasn't even the product I was talking about.
They talk to my Garmin and I can go over what my tire pressure was doing at different points in my ride. I can use this data to optimize what tire pressures work best on a specific trail or tire. When testing tires or trying out a new tire, the optimal tire pressures between different brands, widths, casings and compounds is not constant. Trail conditions and temperature are also variables. Just like the same air pressure is not the same for a Fox fork and a RockShox fork
It also informs me in real time if a lower pressure setting is burping more air.
Tires are suspension and getting the setup correct is just as important as your fork and rear shock.
Maybe you can't wrap your head around spending $300 on a product like this, most people can't.
I couldn't at first either until I utilized all of the Tyrewiz features.
Tyrewiz now retail for $200
I got mine for free.

I'm really looking forward to your assessment on the new tires!

 

[Josepma]

today full day, new schwalbe tires and galfer 223/203 discs with purple galfer pads

 

[HORSPWR]

Maybe you can't wrap your head around spending $300 on a product like this, most people can't.

I couldn't wrap my head around 600 bucks, one for the front and one for the rear!
And you can look at all this data mid ride?

They’re $200 for the pair
Sometimes I’ll do multiple runs on the same part of the trail to see how well my settings are working

Being a bit of a data addict, gotta collect it all (even if you rarely view it... oh well ), I can definitely see TyreWiz and ShockWiz as something I would get... but did enough data collection tools already, thus trying to hold off for as long as I can.

How wide are your new pedals?
I bought new shiny pedals online, but they are only 100mm wide. A little narrow for my flippers

Plastic storage trays to keep all the bike stuff in one place

If you have wide feet and want Burgtecs go with the composite model. The alu body sits right next to the crank when installed whereas the composite version has a more axle betwen the pedal body and crank.
I have a few pairs of both and actually prefer the composites.

From "shite" to shine. I bought myself a new wheelset. FR560 / 350 + 240s

 

[jbrown15]

It was a big week for upgrades and I think I’m done for a while. Or at least until my drivetrain needs to be replaced. Got my Fox 38’s 29er setup installed, along with built a new wheel set with Stan’s Flow rims with RaceFace Vault hubs and upgraded my pads and rotors to Galfer 223mm front and back. My stock dropper post wasn’t that great so I installed a OneUp and their Shimano EV spec lever. Had my stock DHX2 Performance shock blow the seals and didn’t feel like having to wait for the warranty to fix it so I bought a 2021 DHX2 and will keep the stock one as a spare. And lastly the new EDC V2 tool to work with the Fox 38.

Thinking of buying one of these myself, how are you liking it?

[The Hodge]

Absolutely nowt...but after 3 consecutive wet & ( very) muddy rides some form of guards ..front and rear have become a priority which I figure will be a lot cheaper than a new washing machine !

Bought a lezyne rap II 25 multitool

RAP II

Lezyne RAP II: Compact bike multi-tool featuring steel bits between ergonomic side-plates machined from lightweight aluminum. Ideal for various bike types.

ride.lezyne.com

Seems to have everything you could ever need, including a co2 chuck, and brake disc straightener, and a magnetic slot to keep your chain link, and its not too bulky or heavy, so goes in a pocket no problem.
