What did you buy your ebike this week?

[Oded]

Amplifi etrack 17 to carry a spare Shimano 504Wh internal battery

 

[steve_sordy]

WTB Rocket saddle 150mm wide.

I got it from Lordgun, an Italian company that has a .co.uk website. The reviews seem to be either 5* full of praise or 1* full of complaints about them masquerading as a UK company, slow delivery, not charging VAT to appear cheap but the courier collects it, "avoid at all costs" etc and so forth. I am in the 5* group. It was clear that they are based in Italy, they clearly stated the delivery lead-time and also that below a certain price level they charged and collected the VAT, above that they didn't (EU rules). I had zero problems with Lordgun, they even delivered more quickly than I expected.

Lordgun were the only believable company I could find that had any stock of the saddle I wanted.

 

[EMTBSEAN]

A Moon Nebula rear light and some more brake pads

Santas is going to be my best friend this year, he's already got me a new set of Saint pedals and some 160mm crank arms, bent one of my 170mm cranks plus the pedal spindle in a major pedal strike on a hidden stump in the grass.
Also a new E specific seat as the old one is a bit painful to say the least and a bit bruised and battered, bit like its owner.

 

[Zimmerframe]

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 blanket

Agreed, mines never come off no matter which direction the bikes cartwheeled off in.

Magnet and battery?

???
"Li-ion batteries are made with two primary ingredients, Lithium and Carbon/Graphite. Lithium is an alkali metal, which means it is not magnetic. When you add a magnetic charge to lithium, it will not make and difference.

There is also carbon inside lithium-ion batteries. The carbon is rated in a low-grade magnetic field. Because of this, the magnet in your home does not affect the battery’s performance."

I didn't buy my bike anything today, but I gave it a little gift. I like it parked near the garage door, but I have to run an extension cord to get the power over there. Today I extended an electrical run and added another outlet to where I park the bike. My bike will be much happier now.

Edit:
Oh, shite! I just watched the video and spotted a tape measure I left on top the garage door track. Gotta go get it before it falls on my head.

 

[Gyre]

A Moon Nebula rear light and some more brake pads

Great choice. I use white Nebulas on the handlebar for night riding or if I'm spending a lot of time near traffic.

 

[Slymobi]

Just ordered a set of Schwalbe Hans Dampf for £39 not sure how good a deal that is but needed some new tyres so thought why not lol.

Bikes & Bicycle Accessories at Merlin | UK Online Bike Shop have a deal on Schwalbe tyres ATM.

 

[EMTBSEAN]

Some suspension oil and some much needed waterproof gloves

 

[EMTBSEAN]

A sternum protector for my fragile body and a micro SD card holder as my other one was as much use as an ashtray on a motorcycle

 

[Slymobi]

Only ever had fingerless cycling gloves and if too cold I would put my thermal gloves over my fingerless, needed to bump up an Amazon order for free delivery so got these,

Cycling Gloves Full Finger MTB Road Biking Gloves with Anti-Slip Breathable Touchscreen Bicycle Mountain Bike Gloves for Men Women www.amazon.co.uk/Cycling-Anti-Slip-Breathable-Touchscreen-Mountain/dp/B09GM9KL12

£5.99 from Amazon - Really comfortable and can feel the warmth when working, grippy and work very well on touch screen devices. Cheap but very cheerful.

 

[Dazb]

Bought a new set of wheels and tyres for my bike today

 

[Slymobi]

Hans Dampf X2 and new Chainring

 

[j_s]

Finally found some SRAM NX 12 speed chains and picked up 2, 1 for me and 1 for my brother in law.

 

[EMTBSEAN]

I finally got my charger damper RC2 today, all the way the USA, it arrived quicker and in better condition than the RCT3 I sent back, but most importantly RC2 was cheaper than any website in the UK

 

[Ian986]

I bought my bike some Zeb Ultimate getting them put on Friday.

 

[Teriatric]

170mm air shaft from TFT for my Z1s, volume spacers for Z1 and DPX2, 155mm cranks, OneUp carbon bars, pretty crank bolts.

Bosch Kiox Frame Mount for Cube Stereo – eBikePrints

 

[Slymobi]

Direct mount spider so I can customise my chainring and not be left sourcing stupid haibike parts when needed very common 104 BCD so should never get sourcing issues again. I can now also go narrow wide with ease

 

[Pyr0]

Insurance renewal

 

[IndigoUnicorn]

Bought a Jackery 240 Solar Generator and solar panel.

While the unit charges just fine from the panel, it doesn't have enough storage to fully charge my 400Wh battery. *sigh. Guess I'll be buying the 500 next.

I’m trying to not spend that much but, if I have to in order to get in remote, multi-day trips in places like this:

Monumental Loop, Southern New Mexico

Following singletrack, dirt roads, and sandy washes, the Monumental Loop explores the Organ Mountains National Monument and surrounding Chihuahuan desert.

I suppose I’ll have to.

You would need to come back to vehicle to recharge. . Be great to do a multi day ride in wilds were a long way from that yet. I intended doing a remote route this year in Scotland carrying minimum gear . 37 miles day one eat and stay in youth hostel charge bike there . Same miles next day but different route back to start . Unfortunately hostels not open yet as they are self catering. Did this on bike years ago would be great on Ebike. Maybe next year.

You have to love Kapz. ( I had this cap before but had to grind it off when the bolt corroded into the star nut & stoped me removing the fork).

And on the bike.
