What did you buy your ebike this week?
- Thread starter Simoto123
- Start date
No wax, just „wax like“ - Website Finish Line
I use the wet ceramic stuff of finish line and it works good. For the eMTB I use F100 chain oil - experience with their products for cars and motos was always well.
Well after I reached out to Hope with regards to the brake calliper adapter, they advised me to get this one, I’ll have to wait until my eye has recovered before I attempt to fit, I can’t see shit at the moment, it’s taken long enough to type this and several attempts at photographing it

Love Mexico. Worked a few times there ! Acapulco, Puerto Vallarta and the usual, Cancun all the way down to Tulum. Bueno gente y buena comida !
Buen Finde
I got those also for Magura and Shimano brake callipers. A must have for fast servicing.…and a few other things from R3PRO.

Some new additions.
Another pair of Flexair pants - amazing deal in Black Friday
MDR-P rotor to replace a warped disc that I’m finding difficult to true (to my OCD level)
Same but different FiveTen Trailcross Mid shoe to go with the Goretex pair I have for when it gets warm next year. Love them - and don’t think I’ll wear the Freerider Pros again.

Just put the third chain on my cassette so will need a new cassette in the future. So bought a Shimano CS-M7100 (SLX) at Merlin Cyles for £57.50 shipped. Anyone's guess if prices rise or fall in the next few months, but seems a pretty good price.
Edit: 10-51, 12 speed.

Pair of Ragley Wiser risers. 800x25mm rise
I say a pair cos i bought 2 of them. In CRC Black Friday sale(aka liquidation sale) as they were a fiver(£5) each. Nice new set of risers for a fiver is not to be sniffed at.
In the same sale, I picked up a 27.5" Hope pro5 fortus 35 front wheel for £132 and a set of Nukeproof Neuron evo pedals for a tenner(£10),
Schwalbe Magic Mary 27.5"x2.4" front tyre for the new wheel from Merlin cycles sale for £22.
All in all some good savings.

CS-M8100 about £100 in UK
Wanted M6100 (Deore) cassette but they cost more than M7100!
Currently have an XTR (M9100) cassette with 2,000 miles on it with 2 chains, bought in the depths of Covid when it was all I could get. Current XTR cassette prices are crazy. Don't crash through my gears, always back off slightly on shifts (motorcycle clutchless change habit).

Battery not removeable ??
Bit of serious design oversight no ?
What happens if the battery goes tits-up or simply needs replaced ?
I would say a lot of the newer bikes have a non-removable battery (without open bike surgery) It makes them lighter and stiffer, I only ever removed the battery on the heckler when it was being transported anyway.

Got them myself. I'm not a bling kinda guy but they are sublime looking.
Hard-to-find bearings for the top shock mount on my Cube Stereo (12x21x7mm)
I couldn't get these from local bearings suppliers or from the local bike shop or 99Bikes where I bought the bike. Plaig Bearings was the only internet site in Australia where I could find them.
