What did you buy your ebike this week?

[RiderOnTheStorm]

I'll probably also get a big lipo bag to keep/charge the battery in over the winter as I usually keep it in the house as the garage gets really cold.

Yeah, that's what I've done as well. Have been keeping all my lithium batteries in fireproof/lipo bags when in storage.

If you're interested in ebike battery care and safety, check out this thread:

Do's and Don'ts for e-bike battery care. What do you do to keep your battery performing at its best?

To squeeze more useful cycles out of my battery, I've been fine tuning my charging routine based on all your helpful tips and inputs 🍻 thanks! So here goes, 🆕 SUGGESTED E-BIKE BATTERY CHARGING BEST PRACTICES ✅ Charge to 80% before most rides, or charge to 100% just before a long ride. After...

Got round to fitting the one-up 180mm and the hope lever that I posted the other day

Also fitted a new handlebar controller

 

[BigLee]

Got a new stem as when I torqued one of the bolts it went righty tighty then loosey
Also got some rimpact inserts to fit

How's the dropper? I'm considering that one. I have the orange Hope lever already.

I normally buy the WTB Koda with chromoly rails but I did some reading of the reviews and a couple of people said that they use a different more comfortable padding in the steel railed counterpart plus at £31 from Tweeks including postage it was a no brainier, here’s the offending article

Levo comp wanted SRAM Code RSC so I bought it to make the bike happy and safer

Brilliant - best one I've had so far

On the Slik thing, I suspect if it's off piste, one off stuff, they can't be bothered with it. Still, they should at least say so.

I read somewhere that if you are prepared to pay for the one-off they will do it, but that was a few years ago, they may not offer that service now.

My ABBA bicycle stand was stolen along with my bike a few months ago, and it's no longer In production, so I was looking for something similar....

.....As recommend on here a few times, I settled on the Gioma stand, mainly for washing and light maintenance on the bike (I have a Park workshop stand but it's a beast to set up).

This little thing is excellent, pretty cheap and feels very well put together and extremely stable.

I highly recommended it myself. Here's a pic from amazon.

Not for my bike specifically but for me!

Protection after my ‘off’ yesterday.
Some waterproof kit because I am getting bored of riding with fishbowls

Yes.

 

[macp]

I bought a Thule pack n pedal. Fits well and seems pretty solid. Solved the problem I sometimes have of needing to carry more stuff. And wanting a rack I can whip on and off in minutes.

Ditto on the Park Stand being a pain to set up If you store it folded to save space. Especially if you use a cross bar (to better distribute my bikes 60 lb weight) instead of clamping bike by the seat tube.

 

[Expidia]

Rather use "Heat Shrink Solder Sleeve Crimpless Butt Connectors / 26-10 AWG / Electriduct". The yellow AMP Superseal style connectors are mainly shit because lack of right crimping tool.

Ya, these work great and a box of assorted is cheap on Amazon. Easier and quicker to use my heat gun then having to pull out my soldering stuff.

 

[Strikos]

I bought the bike and ride wrapped it this week. pretty chuffed with my wrap install no air bubbles (that I can see anyway). Now to get out on the train!

Cheap because it doesn't come with arms.

Yeah ..but that's OK..I've got two already ..

 

[Christurbo]

Some goodies have turned up. Loads of winter clothing but these are my favs.

 

[p3eps]

Nothing particularly exciting... a Deity seat post clamp in blue, to continue my blue theme, and a Camelbak Podium DIRT insulated bottle, since my wife seems to keep losing the tops for them. I don't know what happens... I put them in the dishwasher, and when I look in the cupboard the next week, the top is AWOL!

Note to self... empty the dishwasher more

I’m sure you applied your investigation abilities without compromising your relationship …I tried the same (dishwasher duty) without any success. The water bottle top is still missing. Probably forever. . I’ll take the blame but secretly it wasn’t me .

I’ve only recently fitted a Fox Factory Transfer SL (150mm). After recently going AXS drivetrain (and loving it) I took the plunge on a 170mm Reverb AXS.

SDG Bel Air V3. The orange matches the Fox 38 graphics perfectly

Nice presentation! That’s a mic-drop right there!

 

[Tyjay]

Replaced dropper post lever with one up v3 after somehow snapping the barrel adjuster
so much smother and lighter to use than the stock one on gen3 levo

also new thule easy fold x2 bike rack
after the witter one stripped the bolt that tightens to the towball
done it once before and got it retapped at work from an engineer
but couldn’t be arsed this time

new thule one is super easy and on the car in under 30 secs. Fitting the bike is a different matter though haha
eventual found a way to fit it using the supplied arms or should I say the short one and bought the longer wheel straps aswell
super nice bit of kit

few pics of levo on rack on inside postion

I have the same rack and it’s very easy to install (took me 32 seconds though ).

I was able to attach both arms to the seat post (hard tails) because a shock wasn’t in the way. It can be a puzzle sometimes.

I certainly couldn’t get either arm on the levo seatpost but the short one works well and the bike isn’t going anywhere. It did take about an hr to figure where to put it haha. The handle slightly touches the water bottle cage when tightening it up but works well
Now just have the headache of second levo on rack aswell but I’ll cross that bridge once I get there
going to get a fiamma D2 arm to help make it easier for first bike

 

[Topi]

I put this on my Kenevo Expert-22
