What did you buy your ebike this week?

[EMTBSEAN]

Your so right mate, I’m in your debt for recommending them to me in the first place, what a fantastic company to deal with, and the boss is so friendly, lots of advice, thanks

 

[Jase]

Bash plate, I hit a few rocks

 

[p3eps]

Just ordered a new Garmin Edge 840 Solar…

I’ve had the 800, 810, 820 and 830… so will see what the new one has to offer.

Look out for the 830 in the for sale section in the next week

 

[Tooks]

Gold Sram XX1 chain, and a set of Maxxis Ardent tyres.

Not a fan of the bigger tyres for my riding and trails, but with how wet it’s been lately the Hillbilly tyred wheels will be back on tomorrow!

 

[dthree]

Went on Jenson just to get some brake pads and quick links but I can't help clicking the shiny red sale link. Now I have a new DHR II on the Rise.

 

[GeorgesEBike]

Broke down and purchased a fanny pack, lol. One of the best items I've ever purchased. Can't tell I even have it on.

Replaced worn out cassette , chain & chainring on my Whyte e160rs .( no pics) ...but yesterday was a very sad day as I had to say goodbye to one of my oldest riding companions after years of being together and visiting some fantastic locations ..it was time to say goodbye .. as she's split ..
I knew at the end of our recent Kirk Yetholm ride that the end was nigh ..but only just got around to looking for something better..
Goodbye Hawg ( split under zip)...

Hello Raptor 14 ...hope you Ospreys are as good ..but with a price reduction down to £87.00 from an rrp of £145.00..it seemed like a good idea

I’ve had the raptor 14 for a few years now, love it. I switched over to a fanny pack though, the raptor only comes out for back country rides now.

Have used an Osprey Katari 7 for the past 4 years, has held up great.

I'm one of those riders who carries the kitchen sink on every ride ...you know ..just in case
It's a bit smaller than the HAWG it's replacing so I'll probably have to leave the field surgeon table behind ..

I really want to put cushcore in my rear tire but I loathe installing it the 2 worst jobs in this sport IMO, cushcore and ridewrap/invisiframe installation.

 

[The Hodge]

The back pack turned up yesterday ..mightily impressed with the only minor gripe being the bladder seems a bit fiddly to fill..

So time for the second bargain of the week ..not 100% struck on the colour ..and no way in the creation of crows shite would I have paid full price ..but for roughly £97.00 off rrp..had to be bought
Endura Singletrack ll waterproof jacket ..

When my new levo comes this week my first two projects are ridewrap and cushcore. Your comment made me out loud say “oh no they are right..” this is going to suck.

Worst however for me was studding fat tires by hand. My hands were a bloody messy by the end. Though cushcore wasn’t much better

 

[Tubby G]

My dropper post died beyond repair on my Rise at the weekend so went for a Brand X Ascend XL. Another £150 spent that I hadn’t expected

 

[steve_sordy]

@Tubby G The Brand X dropper is great value. I bought one for my grandson and it withstood all his hooning about, mostly on his rear wheel! I would not hesitate to buy one for myself when the time comes.

I bought a Whyte branded seatpost ..spookily enough for my Whyte when the original post died ..manufactured I'm told by brand x ..zero problems so far and great value

 

[Hobo Mikey]

I have also have just fitted a Brand X dropper post as my crank brothers one failed. I could not wait for it to be refurbed so bought the Brand x and left the old one at the LBS to refurb. I will then have a spare.

My ridewrap kit for the levo is still sitting in the box. I haven’t even attempted to install it yet, I don’t drink anymore so maybe that’s why I’ve been putting it off.

 

[B1rdie]

New di2 xt deraileur. The old one is 3 years old and I had just put new pulleys on it last week, but that black coil disapeared while riding a superfast dirt road last sunday. Will try to fix it someday.

 

[Ark]

I switched over to a fanny pack though

You can't wear on over here in the UK unless you want to be laughed at and mocked by every person you pass

I’m in the UK, you see more fanny packs than backpacks in my area. I know a lot of guys that have switched over…..after making fun of mine

I swore to never own a hip pack, laughing it off as another passing industry fad. But…….. after a trip to GoOutdoors with my lad and a look and try of the Camelback LR4, I’m deffo ordering one for when I’m able to ride again. It just feels right, don’t care about looks, it’s behind me

I find it motivating and uplifting that I'm not one of the ego-driven fashion lemmings going along with the status quo for image.

Cargo shorts and fanny pack are a win. And I don't wear it in the back. It's on the side for riding and front for walking.

Haha totally agree. I even delayed ordering invisiframe because then I have to install it lol. Although I still think cushcore is worse than invisiframe/ridewrap so it takes the overall winner (loser?)

I live in whats seen as one of the most deprived aeas of my city so I'm terrified to wear one....
I literally wear a bergahus backpack even just to carry an innertube
fannypack/bumbag is probably asking to get robbed

 

[SwampNut]

But not a backpack? That would seem more attractive. Also, appearing crazy could be a deterrent.

 

[FirstAscent]

Getting closer! EXT E-Storia arrived today (super fast!) along with the Cascade Link long shock kit, and a sneak peek of the Better Bolts

Also finally ordered an invisiframe kit before the bike gets too much use.

 

[Husky430]

Local bike shops are in the same boat as can't get stock, had to order this from Hong Kong and hopefully delivery is not the month to month and half they are quoting.
Meantime can pinch one lever or the whole master cylinder off the wifes bike as she is still not riding after demolishing her Tibial Plateau last year in Tassie.

 

[2WheelsNot4]

Pro5 rear wheel, and a set of Pikes- both of which are yet to arrive.
