What did you buy your ebike this week?

[Stoneilove]

Wouldn’t have a clue , I never worry about weight on a full fat bike , although must say how lite I thought the new wheels were before I fitted the tyres

It won't even be close to 6kg unless the wheels are made of lead! I'd say 4kg max and even that is most likely more than they actually are.

2.6kg wheels or more
3kg tyres
600-1kg rotors & cassette as I said wheels WITH tyres etc

Weigh yours you might be surprised stuff isn’t as light as manufactures claim!

Finally installed the XT levers that i bought at the same time as the bike, now, its “shigura” brake set:

Cutting hoses and bleeding was kind of scaring, since the heart surgery last setember.
Also the kiox is new and will soon be placed on a safer position.

New brakes…

Love the look of the levers on those.

 

[Doomanic]

They are lovely. I worried about putting them on the bike because I just know my next off will be an OTB in a rock garden...

Yeah, my levers haven't been the same since I went to Dyfi.

 

[Defmech]

Pretty much a whole new drive train.

God dammit. Not even fitted this yet and it’s out of date.

 

[The EMF]

Yep, £20 from Halfords.

Much better than clamping on the seat post.



I'll let you know tonight, just threw the bike in to quickly test it. Can feel how much more solid it is though.

I purchased the “False Crossbar” from Halfords and it’s made using my work stand so much easier……..great stuff I’m pleased you posted it, the best addition to the maintenance shed for ages

 

[beanzz]

Agreed, I wasn't expecting much improvement to stability, I mainly bought it to alleviate some of weight on the dropper post but it actually made it feel almost rock solid on the stand compared to before where it would wobble everywhere

I can confirm that these are good. I put some on my trail bike and liked them that much that the Ebike is currently in the shop having a set fitted! Death to Code R's.

Burgtec pedals in Gold, also matching stem for my Rise to match my TTX coil

For trail maintenance …

 

[EMTBSEAN]

A 50hr service kit for my rear shock and at the same time I might actually get to fit the Megneg upgrade kit I bought over a year ago

 

[RustyMTB]

Spook, literally did a 50 hour service on my Lyrik yesterday afternoon. Buttery smooth for the next two rides until you forget the difference it makes.

Yep that’s me all over, I’ve got an excuse though, I’m an old fart with a shitty memory

 

[EMTBSEAN]

My daughter just bought me a false crossbar for my bike for when it’s in my work stand, thanks Jen

 

[Tooks]

From the ‘cheap’ parts thread, my newly arrived Fox 36 GRIP2 Forks, just the job on the old Focus!

Trying some 155 cranks to reduce pedal strikes on our rocky trails.
