Heavy they are, and slick
I suggest to always wear shin pads when installing or removing those…

 

[Gary]

I might own an ebike but I'm not that clumsy

 

[TheRealPoMo]

Spokes.
Some went missing in the bush.

 

[The EMF]

Not the most exciting items to spend my cash on …

Bloody hell Gary, is that a door wedge to keep the door open.

 

[VWsurfbum]

To go with the new wheels (got to go stupid XD cassettes now )

A chain to match and some cheapy brakes for No2's HT build.

 

[Dpickin1]

Went to buy a heavier spring to end harsh bottom outs, found out I was a victim of the Kenevo rear spring cracking issue, sold my liver and ended up walking out with this Italian beauty

Shimano saint front and rear to replace the shit SRAM code R brakes that have been a constant pain.
Started to fit them on Sunday. Having a Whyte e180 this meant having to drop the motor and route the cable through the housing. 4 days later it's still not finished, I have covid and I can barely think about putting the front brake on. I really should have paid the £100 quid I was quoted to get a shop to fit them

My rear brake had a 180mm rotor, twin pot and resin pads. There are a couple of long, steep rowdy washed out black tracks that had the rear rotor changing color. I swapped out the rotor to a 203. Then had an even longer daily descent while away for a week in Maydena - I've just bought a shimano 520 caliper (great budget 4 pot) with steel pads. I have a 520 on the front standard. I also have a new rotor for the front that is metal pad compatible. So I'll have 4 pot brakes with metal pads and compatible rotors all round.

Also just received a shimano rd-8100 derailer as a spare. I had a spare but bent up the original while in Derby.

Also , bought a guide for re aligning bent hangers. Used this before replacing the derailer - the hanger was quite bent. I do carry a spare hanger but it is really to use if I'm a long way from home.

 

[urastus]

Woohoo! Winter is coming, so I've just ordered a light that will wire directly into my shimano e8000 system. Had to order a cable too, so Au$200 all up MJ-906S E-Bike Light - IPX6 - 4500 Lumens - Without Battery Pack

Well your post might save someone else from grief . I need to swap out a caliper - but I hope to leave the existing cable in place and just bleed again when the new caliper is on

 

[rydeezie]

Haha
That's still gotta have cost you close to £500 on chains.
10 full drivetrains costs me less than that (NW chainring, 10 spd Cassette & chain)
and each generally lasts somewhere between 4-6000miles

 

[Jimbo Vills]

yeah but we don’t all just mince about down our local woods and commute down the local canal path

Actually going to sell 2 to my brother. The remaining chains should last me over 2 years for 2 Emtb’s. I only ride 5k miles a year split between 3 bikes.

Been using a 3 year old oil slick Xx1 cassette transferred over from my Spec enduro. It’s been on the Levo for 11 months. I still have the brand new Xx1 that came with my Levo an plan to use it towards the end of this year.

If all goes to plan I will not need a chain/cassette until it’s time for me to buy a Gen 4 Levo.

No. We most certainly don't.
