This week I have purchased and fitted a new Thule rear tour rack(the strap on type), with the side frames, for a total of £100, saving of £35. To fit my Agu quorum panniers 38ltrs
If you use the higher resolutions, stabilisation, have the screen and wifi/BT connection on (kinda the whole point in spending GoPro money). Gopro batteries don't last an hour.Why would you need an external battery?
GoPro's last for hours? I regularly use the same battery on my GoPro for whole weekends? (only recording a few hours of footage?)
I love my mt7 brakes but they do take a fair bit of TLC. The organic 8P pads that come with the kit have a very strong bite, which some love and others hate. The levers are good, but I eventually swapped mine for THESE which are awesome. Watch out for leaks coming from underneath of the BAT... HERE ... (rotating dial on the reservoir) the underneath bit has a clip with a tension spring inside and is fiddly to do up properly. My advice is to YouTube magura's videos to familiarise yourself with the bleeding procedures and parts on the brakes. Some good advice out there on maintenance.This has been a challenge. I couldn't find any at a reasonable price in the U.S., so I ordered them direct from Germany. The first time through Customs, the package got rejected and sent back to the seller. The second time worked like a charm. They arrived today. w00t!

I also think the calliper looks better with the yellow rings removed they just pop out with a screwdriver.
Finally!!
Daaang… this thing is a work of art! I’m hoping to snap some good photos of my bike while it’s still clean. Then it’s test & tune laps.

My bad, it is the right one.
My new custom wheelset finally arrived! Like most things these days, they were stuck on a boat in a shipping port for a while.

Nice carbon wheelset, I really wonder how the Hydra hubs will hold up long term with ebike use. I was considering I9 Hydra's but due to long lead-times and I went with DT Swiss 240 hubs. But I know that DT doesn't recommend upgrading to there 54-tooth ratchet setup for ebikes. I think you almost don't want that instant engagement on ebikes.
Brilliant water bottle and mount, I’ve had mine for a while now and been down some pretty gnarley descents and it’s stuck like sh!t to a blanketNew bottle cage from Fidlock
Very stealth when not in use
