What did you buy your ebike this week?

[Wilko58]

Did you get a good deal on them

Did you get a good deal on them?

Yes, but too embarrassed to say how much (I work at a cycle retailer)!

 

[Eliadn]

I took advantage of the black Friday offer

S9+, haha we have the old phone!

 

[KnollyBro]

A new WeAreOne Convergence rear wheel. They are stronger, lighter and 32% improved in impact strength. All this for only $1200 each, on sale! I bet I ride at least 3% better but the pride I will feel when someone asks "Are those the new Convergence wheels?" is worth the price alone!

Yes.. I'm not going to take my last high level into the mud, gnars and rocks..

Hey are they the new convergence wheels by any chance

 

[KnollyBro]

Hey are they the new convergence wheels by any chance

was it the actual wheel you noticed first or were you wondering why I was riding 3% better?

 

[The Hodge]

A bit of both really ..those wheels sure look good from a distance..but with that 3% improvement you were gone too fast for me to get a really good look ..no doubt though that they were worth every penny (,pound , dollar , cent )..you've spent ..

 

[Sander23]

A bigboi blower mini. Makes drying the bike so much easier and warms the hands when its cold

 

[Gilbo]

I’ll start the ball rolling, this week she’s had. New kmc chain, cassette, renthal ring. Also mech and dropper cables. New front and rear pads. A new bar remote(warranty). Fork service.
Hoping for a couple of spend free weeks now. Big mileage costs!

Now winter rain and mud is here
Magic Mary front and big Betty rear just been fitted to combat the lack of grip in the slop.

 

[Bob88]

A new motor! Moving to a new area and lots planned so want maximum reliability for this next year.

Now winter rain and mud is here
Magic Mary front and big Betty rear just been fitted to combat the lack of grip in the slop.

Put Schwalbe Magic Mary Super Gravity fronts and Maxxis DHR2 DD rears on wife and my Rails couple of weeks ago. The Assegais were positively dangerous slicks in all the slop and mud. Out with Mrs irie tomorrow but trails are rutted as hell and filled with water and chalky mud, and XC is soft as ****, horrible.

 

[JP-NZ]

Black friday deals have started in NZ so picked up a pair of these for the Rail.

Only $50NZD (£24)

 

[irie]

Wife's 2022 Rail 5 has Pike Ultimate forks and Hunt Trail Wide V2 wheels.

My 2022 Rail 5 has ZEB Ultimate forks and Hunt Trail Wide V2 wheels.

So bought:

Left - 2 x seal kits for Bosch motors

Top - 2 x front wheel torque cap sets

Bottom - 2 x rear hub upgrades to 6 x 1 (from 3 x 2). [Edit: didn't fit so stayed with 3 x 2]

 

[2WHLFUN]

I have a set of WTB HTZ wheels coming tomorrow. Hopefully they’re tough enough to go on my next emtb too.

 

[BangorPootsy]

Black Friday Wiggle sale got me a set of Oil Slick Nukeproof pedals for £39.99. The magpie in me is very impressed with the colours

M48:Easily impressed

 

[steve_sordy]

I've had my DMR Vaults for so long It's difficult to tell what colour they were when new.
They were gloss black with blue pins, but now they are just shiny with dull black bits.

[E Bob]

-5 headstock cups, Swapped out the zeb for a set of 38's

 

[kefconstruction]

Not exactly for bike more for me!!!

 

[kefconstruction]

Also new light will test out on Wednesday night

 

[VWsurfbum]

So for those who dont follow my wheel building page (link in signiture) you should
So all the parts finally arrived yesterday and i could get my wheels built for the new bike that still isnt here yet.

 

[Shjay]

Shame Burgtec don’t still do hubs. What spokes are you using? Look good with colour am boring & stick with Sapim race & D-light for my builds

Just straight forward heavier duty spokes, I was going to use my default Sapin ones but as I couldnt get them in red I needed ones that matched the ones in red I could get in the right size.

 

[2WHLFUN]

The valves are not central.

Yep, the spoke bed is offset to build a wheel with the same spoke length and tension on both sides for strength. The valve hole needed to be offset as well. As long as it holds air well it won’t bother me.

 

[irie]

Had a *cough* small crash on Monday and damaged the control unit that goes from the bar left hand side to the Kiox. £53 for a new one wtf! Will try to repair the old one as a spare.

 

[E Bob]

Time to give the X2 a whirl...

 

[2WheelsNot4]

Not for the ebike, but a non Eeb 27'5" im building, and while that bike is a spare, the ebike can run 27.5, 29 or mullet, so I consider the parts as spares.
I've been really hammering the sales and got some pretty incredible bargains thanks to them.

Pair of 27.5" pro5 wheels - fortus 30 rear and fortus.35 front. Pair(f&r) Tech4 V4 +203mm vented rotors . 27.5 Factory 36 Grip2.
Typically after I'd bought the 36's, crc had some 38 factory's for 380. Oh well

 

[Nickolp1974]

Erm, Burgtec carbon bars and stem, deathgrips, Shortys gen2 front and rear(hoping for less slippage although fun), Sicomtb rear mudguard, fox front and some Uberbike sintered pads, not yet fitted, hoping there a bit better than stock, brakes are next to go!!

 

[Doomanic]

Uberbike sintered pads, not yet fitted, hoping they're a bit better than stock, brakes are next

Sticking your knob in the spokes would offer better braking than the stock brakes!
