What did you buy your ebike this week?

[EMTBSEAN]

This is messing with my brain: the labels on the card and on the grips are at odds. I can't tell left from right at the best of times, but now I'm totally forked!

I know, it's April First and you are playing with us!

So they are, I never noticed that one mate, here you go ?

I've always wanted a bottle-style tool/spares holder - BUT I wanted one that's completely watertight... search is over with the Zefal. This just arrived this morning - hope it fits my bike at full length (although it can be shortened by leaving off the middle section if need be). With tight frame spaces on most eBikes, the side load bottle holder comes in handy too.

Spare set of brake pads, disc brake straightener tool, muck-off brake cleaner, kind of a theme for the week, stopping.

What chain is that I dont mind a gold chain

New KMC chain for mine as the Sram ones dont seem to last very long. Its a different design and jumping like popcorn in the microwave. One choice though and thats to stretch and fit.

I got some red ones. Sometimes though the chain doesn't ride properly on the upper wheel. So if yours is noisy give it a check out.

You know it's narrow wide, eh?
ie. it runs in a certain position on the teeth. fat teeth between the outer chain plates, thin teeth between the inner plates?

Didn't realise that so thanks for this afternoons project.

Ergon sme saddle, previous sdg bel air has worn through on a textured area. It’s blistering down the channel too.

Thought I’d see if the lip helps on steep climbs. Looks decent anyway. Also ordered a new drive side engine cover. Wouldn’t bother under normal circumstances but it had some rub marks and scratches. Probably would have stretched the saddle through the summer too, oh well.

I bought some cheap anodized-green alloy ones last year cuz I was bored... just to amuse myself, not expecting them to last. Well it's still running free and smooth (only used it for the lower tensioning job), spinning better than the stock plastic wheel that I took off. Most of the scuffing on the teeth is only on the inside - a lot less than expected, and hardly any at the right outer side. I also thought they'd be noisy, but it's on an eMTB so I can't hear it (not that it makes any sound) over the knobby tyre hum and motor.

So I guess it's staying in there for a little while longer - if it ever wears down. Plus they come as a pair so I still have another unused one as a spare. (I haven't ridden in the mud and rain this year... just getting to the end of our southern-hemisphere summer).
