What did you buy your ebike this week?

[JStrube]

Ahhh... I see what you mean! A way of attaching the bike so I can't go too far back.
I will have a look at it tonight and see if there is something I can hook up as a safetynet... at least whilst I get the hang of the feeling. It feels a bit alien to me to go THAT far back!!

Same here... The balance point it way farther back than I feel comfortable with.

 

[Arminius]

Hey guys. Buying, not trying nor crying.

 

[Bad-Latitude]

Continuing with my black and purple color theme I got some Deity bars and grips. Still have some more parts to get but it’s getting closer to being finished.

 

[Tony4wd]

Upgraded the Cube stereo 120 forks from Recon to Fox 34 Performance 130mm (1/2 price at Wiggle) and put in a new lower headset. The new fork is 450 grams lighter and matches the bike colours.
I like the Marzocchi Z2 on the Rise for its plushness and hope the Fox 34 will be at least as good.

N+1 is what I say when it comes to bikes and cars …… Kenevo Expert (Shrek edition)

 

[Eliadn]

Oh they look cool, ordered some myself now
I noticed my front brake cable vibrates about wildly sometimes and seems annoying.


New tyres
Cheap circlip pliers
Cheapo pick tools. (for when I do a lower leg refresh on the front suspension)
Cheapo adapters for my torque wrenches
New brake pads.
Some ergon grips because my current grips leave my hands hurting a little after long rides.
Bosch lockring tool + fat socket wrench that fits around it.
and lastly Bosch bearing protection grease

Where did you get it from? I literally need those adapters, picks and the pliers

 

[p3eps]

Was just away to head out on the bike and noticed an email saying the wheels I ordered were in. Supposed to be 6-8 week delivery, but arrived after about 3 and a half weeks. Last ride on the old ones in a minute, then hopefully get them swapped over tonight when the kids are in bed - ready for tomorrow!!
i9 EN 315 custom carbon wheels.

Edit: got them on now!

Amazon for the adapters, picks and pliers.

The pick set is literally £3 right now on the UK amazon
Rolson 59133 4 pc Pick and Hook Set

Cipclip pliers IDK if they will last long but if they break I will get better ones, they are kind of insane prices at the higher end brands... for something I'd use 2x a year :S
Draper 19735 Circlip Plier Set
Draper in my experience are usually solid for tools.

The adapters IDK how long they will last either but I dson't need them for any crazy torque values and most the reviews were good for them
LEXIVON Impact Socket Adapter Reducer, Set of 4, 1/2" to 3/8" | 1/4" to 3/8" | 3/8" to 1/4" | 3/8" to 1/2" | Converter Adapter Set Fits Impact Driver, Torque Wrench, Power Drill, Ratchet (LX-112)


All dispatched by amazon in the UK so they probably have them in the EU warehouse as well I'd imagine.

i bought a spare rear wheel for my pivot, it has the hydra hub with a gazillion points of engagement, the gear changes etc are almost instantaneous so it took me a bit of time to smooth out but it makes the bike noticeably quicker

Just put on some hope ebike 155mm cranks after bending my 2nd pair , hope they’re as good as they’re hyped up to be

You bent a 2nd pair of Praxis or Hopes?

 

[Binhill1]

Never seen anything like that before amazing

Standard kenevo cranks , not sure on the name . Hope e-bikes are supposedly stronger .

 

[#lazy]

Omg , these cranks are unbelievable ! Climbs easier , whole ride feels me stable and to top it off I can wheelie better

Takes a while to get used to the noise it makes. Sounds a bit like a swarm of angry wasps or something

yes , i immediately added the specified grease to cut the noise

 

[Humanbeersponge]

As I have them on my other bikes it had to be done.

 

[Richywalker64]

Thought I'd try one of these from a company called Airbike as it's less than half the price of the Shimano XT that came fitted . I've done a couple of rides and so far so good, can't really tell any difference when shifting gear

 

[Humanbeersponge]

Now fitted new bits.
