What did you buy your ebike this week?

[YrianX]

I’ve just pushed the button and ordered the bike-specific Osprey Synchro 20. Only £75 online but £90 in the shop today. Goes quite well with the bike.

very nice !

Though no frame yet so you guys might be the lucky few that have seen the first pics of a pice of an actual 2021 Levo at this rate

Are you going to suspend all the parts in the correct places using nylon thread and then send spesh an e-mail with the photo saying "WHERE'S MY FRAME" .... ?????

I was considering exactly that

But in all fairness, they have never promised me a specific date, so it's all good. I ordered and put down the deposit on the promise that I would definitely get a frame as soon as one was available, but might not be until early 2020.

Actually suits me well seeing the snow is soon coming and I have plenty of time to pick up bargains like these wheels I got for 40% off...

I bought some dmr death grips after reading the rave reviews on here. They are nice but love my ergon ga1s more. So they are sitting in a box in the cupboard.

I actually got my ebike this week ??

Ah, I remember my very first eBike day... it was the strangest feeling that I had to fully charge the thing. I can’t remember ever having to treat a bicycle like an appliance before!

Congrats and happy days ahead!

I will never forget my first ebike day as I assembled the bike with the front forks facing the wrong way before my test ride around the garden. I have a leg scar to remind me and also a broken garden fence panel ?

 

[BigLee]

Thanks folks, pleased I bought a fast charger to get some electric in quick ?

I bought a rear mudguard as I'm not happy with a cold wet bum. I bought a rather good X Blade II from Tweeks Cycles. It's a good fit, adjustable in a couple of places. It fits to the top of the frame tube where the seat post enters. It seems to have stayed put so far. The bike is a Levo Full Suspension.

Two tyres and a chain.

I bought a few mounts from 76 Projects to relocate my Wahoo from bars. 1 on the Stanton and another on the Fantic

A Badass 4 clip on and off derestrictor.

New pedals for mine and shorter stem for the wife’s

 

[nellyb]

Treated the Levo to a Cane Creek DBcoil IL. Should get it fitted up this week and see if the coil plushness was worth it.
Got it from J-Tech suspension btw. They have been great with advice and service ?

and shorter stem for the wife

After all the years of complaining and what she actually wanted was a shorter one ..

It's amazing how many of the mudguards look better on members bikes photo's than they do on their own promotion/sales websites.... Is that to keep your lady clean ? (battery)

Bikes not here yet, but the colour coding has started

... shorter stem for the wife’s

Judging by the number of spacers stacked under your new stem... a 40mm riser bar might be your next purchase...

 

[HORSPWR]

An old roadie mate used to do the same. He'd done it since the 60s so I suspect it's almost as old an idea as the waterbottle and cage itself.

There are far better solutions today for not a lot of dosh.

LifeLine Zip Up Tool Stash | Chain Reaction Cycles

Same product is available on ebay for about £3.50 if you can wait for delivery from China

Could probably just use an old glasses case!

Similar style to the ones I have, mine are blindingly bright at night, you can see all the dust particles you are inhaling , I love the wireless bar remote.
