Is that a Bosch range extender? If so, where’s that from?
I have ordered through Leisure lakes, they supplied the bike. (Orbea Wild) so there is a few week delay as they need a wire from Bosch and an additional mount?
When I ordered the bike, it was an option, I should have taken it at the time.

In the process of converting my e160 S into a bespoke e160 RSX.....so this phase is the rear shock (Float X Perf Elite).
Also, swapped the dropper lever out as the stock Whyte is not good for me.....also got the pistons on the Hope E3's upgraded to the latest iteration.....

Trying out a Mazza on the rear after ripping a hole in my Double Down DHR

(Yes I know nothing aligns but don’t care. 🤷🏽‍♂️)

I got one if them a week ago and also a Emartello saves battery power it says on box so must be true. Not fitted it yet. Just be another tyre to me. They all don't seem to last very long before the grip seems to go.

I’ve been out for a ride in the slop today and it was good. Doesn’t match my front Assegai at all, especially as it has a grey tan wall, but heh ho I won’t lose sleep about it

mine doesn't seem that good either. the cable keeps slipping or something.
Never occurred to me that I could just get a new lever, hopefully one that feels better to press.

oof not that cheap are they, might get a hope one in red

Seems a lighter press, more adjustable (position, bite point) and a more erganomic shape (IMO).....so far so good :)

No they arent cheap.....but they are Hope (and look awesome :cool:)

Now then should I do I lower leg service before fitting in Saturday

And does anyone know of this is basically the same as maxima plush light? The spec is nearly the same

Thanks

I got my first full fork service last year well overdue. All gobbledygook to me but i was told a few settings / things were not as they should have been. So your not as OCD as you like to think. Enjoy

A New pair of WYB STI30s and inner tubes because after 5 attempts at sealing the rear I gave up .
But running Eddie currents so pinch flats isn't going to be a thing.
Also a e-stop magura rear brake and Galfer purple pads.
Just need to find a Fabric tool bottle .

Cheers mate think I will as well
Tip given to me by a mech at a LBS. Get a cheap large dustbin (I got one from Homebase) and put a large bin bag inside it. Then pull off the lower fork legs over the dustbin then the oil drops into the dustbin. Didn't bother to check how much grease was in them, but what there was was concentrated in lumps, probably through storage.

So after much research and wondering..I've taken the plunge and decided to get the Mincing sorted..I've struggled so hopefully I'll now be that guy at work with the walk🤣🤣🤣

Hope 155s not cheap at £175 but Hope do it right..lovely quality

Well after trying the new Hope mincer megastar cranks I can confirm I didn't notice any difference 😅
So not really a good investment but they do look good so an absolute bargain 👌
