THE YOO ESS OF AYE
My bike was nicked last month, so just splurted out on a new Haibike Lyke CF11, some Exposure lights from their outlet store, some pedals and a fox mudguard for the 36's.

Here's a generic pic to muster opinion...

I have an opinion about this one.

I think it's a sick bike, and I'm completely butt hurt that it's not sold in the USA. I want one too.

I'd get the 10, just because that's my favorite color scheme.

Nothing top exciting. Just new pawls for the freehub as after I last stripped it down one of then just seemed a little too slow for my liking.

I'd go with a ratch system but, that does cost more money and you may feel it's not worth it or simple not feel the need to
I've been thinking of doing just this, but went with this as a quick option (and only £10) while I look into converting.

That said, when I looked into it in the past, I couldn't see all that many upsides to a ratchet system?

GX AXS kit for my Levo.
Because i "almost had to": new cable housing assembly apparently is impossible to do without dropping motor down.
No way to put new housing in place. Two hours i tried.

So i ride singlespeed until AXS arrives.😁

Cable housing is dead easy to push though on a Gen3. However nice upgrade 👍🏼

Apparently i had just bad luck; i've heard that is easy on a Gen2 also.

But on my Levo it was pretty tight to pull old one out. At that moment when i pulled it out i knew i was in deep troubles.😁

New cable housing was just impossible to push thru. Maybe there's somekind of dent or something on that nylon tube which runs above motor. 🤷‍♂️

Now look here young man. You've been around long enough to know you can't just leave it at that.
Well in truth what I've bought is a build slot.

A build slot for a Orbea Wild M-Team Custom 2024 build, custom colour and a few spec changes.
Once i get the rough delivery date I'll start with the wheel build and see what additional Bling to purchase. I must admit I forgot I had AXS on the Heckler, and apparently I'll miss that, I'm not so sure?

Oury locking grips, a tubeless tire repair kit, a 12 speed master link, some 20g CO2 cartridges, and a floor stand.

Pedaling Innovations Catalyst One pedals (black), bought from US web site and saved 25% (maybe got lucky because no duty/VAT charged). Huge platform, now tuned with less (10 each side instead of 18) but longer pins (supplied with pedals). Take a bit of getting used to but absolutely game changers, especially downhill! Can keep feet flat instead of effectively standing on tiptoe IYSWIM. Also dropped seat 25mm so lowered CoG when seated.
