What did you buy your ebike this week?

[Gary]

No. not at all.
I've just always found English folk using "brought" when they mean "bought" and vice versa funny.
Leisure lakes have been around a loooong time so you should be sound when you do need to "bring" it back

 

[chrismechmaster]

Haha I missed that lol

 

[Beekeeper]

Just ordered this great piece of kit on Amazon just now.

always struggled to get tyres clean. I think I may have cracked it with this cutting edge tech.

I shall ‘sweep’ your doubts under the carpet.
I’m absolutely ‘bristling’ with confidence

 

[daddyo]

29er front and Maxxis Ardent Tyre, to mulletise my Jam2.

Liking it!

View attachment 37920

Yep, converted my Jam2 to a mullet and put the 29 Ardent on the front. The bike seems to be sooo much faster...

New wet weather Galfer pads and some normal Galfer pads for the better weather (have read they are good) Giving ceramic lube a go.

 

[St4nley]

Anyone looking for 10 speed parts, I’ve just had delivered a Saint rear derailleur from chain reaction, price wise seems good to me.

Photo shows no B adaptor but mine came with one.

 

[ccwilli3]

A newly installed Maxxis DHR II out back in 27.5x2.6" and a fresh injection of Stans in the tire. Front tire is still holding out well but after 1040 miles of trails it was time for renewed traction in the rear. First time changing tubeless tires, one knuckle lost some skin but otherwise no major issues with the install!

You mean the mode converter to allow it to run 36t cassettes?

 

[St4nley]

Shimano B link adaptor, not shown in image from Chain reaction

 

[St4nley]

Comes with the mode adaptor.

 

[gareth burton]

Some Ergon Ga3's and Uber pads

I picked up the Rockshox service kits this week and gave what is possibly a 100hr overdue 50hr service to the Pike and Deluxe on the 2019 levo

 

[Dan63]

Magura 220mm rotor, charger 2.1 damper for the fork and DVO Topaz T3 rear shock.

 

[steve_sordy]

Spooky that the post above also mentioned the DVO Topaz shock, because I've just ordered one for my Focus Jam2 (210x55)

These shocks are selling that well that I had to order it now even though the ship from the USA hasn't been loaded yet! Not due in until mid Feb. The ship that docked in the UK in mid December didn't have any shocks of the size I needed! I had been waiting for two months already by that point so I was a tiny bit disappointed, to say the least, at the thought of having to wait for another two months.

Great choice. This is a 210x55mm too! I haven't ridden this one yet but from everything I've read i think it's going to be awesome upgrade from the crappy Deluxe.

Finished doing a base setting, just waiting for my shoulder to heal and then i can ride again.... 8 weeks today and counting...

 

[steve_sordy]

@Dan63 That is the same shock that I will be replacing.
I have done my best to get it as good as I can. I have had two sessions with a Quark Shockwiz which both said it was as good as it could be. Then I added a token and it was better! I was thinking about trying a MegNeg, but then I saw reviews for the DVO Topaz and I thought "what the hell, go for it!"

The company I have bought the shock from said that they can sell every one that they can get. So does every other seller it would seem because I could not find anyone in Europe with any stock other than weird sizes.

 

[Pascal Funk]

Well done for the DVO.
I mounted my ZTTO cassette and the 180 mm disc (The 203 braked too much at the rear) Same diameter

 

[HORSPWR]

E bike specific, obviously.
Good value at only 200% premium over regular bike ones.
Advanced lightweight alloy, specially strengthened to take the additional rigour of knarly fire track.

So, just normal ones then lol

 

[DtEW]

'lectricity is obviously blue, so these are obviously E-bike compatible.

I’m very impressed with the ceramic lube, creamy smooth gearchange loveliness!

 

[Mteam]

What are those ztto cassettes like? do they shift well, no skipping? etc

 

[Pascal Funk]

Don't try yet, I don't ride in the mud

How do you rate the Michelins? I'm tempted to get those fitted to my new bike before I take delivery.

 

[Sander23]

Got some new vittoria e-agarro 2.6 tires

 

[Pascal Funk]

How do you rate the Michelins?

RichT,
They are great tires, and super reinforced (No better, see sectional sketches)
Very soft rubber (42A) but quite resistant (I did only 300 kms with them and the rear is still at ~ 60% with 30% road)
Only problem: The weight: 1500 g the tire!
Very easy to snap in tubeless and rigid bead (It allows you to go home at low speed if a big accident on the tire)

Good to know, thanks.
