New 5.05" wide Snowshoes. Just in time - we have over 10" of snow today and it's still snowing. (Colorado, USA)
What did you buy your ebike this week?

I ordered 3 x 240ml bottles of Continental Revo sealant from Bikeparts.co.uk. £9.77 instead of £12.95 and cheaper than elsewhere taking delivery costs into account. Free delivery on this occasion. They came today, less than 24 hours! 
Continental Continental RevoSealant [240 ml]
However, the best before date on them all is Dec'24! Cheap for a reason.
But the liquid is free flowing and shakes well, all the particles are in suspension and not in a cruddy lump glued to the bottom of the bottle. I'll be using one or more when the two tyres I've bought turn up.

Thing about Ali Express items is that most are fake. Yes, you got a cheap item, but what is the quality & safety? batteries may catch fire, a seat may not be as comfortable, and a helmet could be unsafe (testing shows they are). Most vendors steal intellectual property, and place a name on an item that does not belong.
I attempted to buy a "real" Prologo seat on Amazon from what looked like a US based bike shop. I could not find any other US shippers at the time. What showed up was a poor item with the Prologo brand on it, but it was clearly garbage. Mailed back per Amazon instructions, it came back to me undeliverable... Finally ordered from Chain Reaction in UK. I handed my fake seat to the Prologo reps from Italy when they came to Sea Otter, they looked at me like, "where did you get this?"
My safety isn't worth the risk.
I went to Go Outdoors to get some camping bits for the weekend, obviously I had to look in the bike Bargain bins.
I don't really want my £1,600 phone on my bars, but I want to try out the flow app display and the Bosch doesn't talk to the Garmin for battery percentage.

Ignorance was bliss!
Just bought another pair of Ergon GA 3 grips.....so using them on both bikes now. I found they definitely balance pressure from the bars far better across the palm , reducing too much strain on the thumb side. They get the "thumbs up" from me!
I'm obviously out of touch with the mobile world - what phone costs £1,600 and what does it do that other phones for half the price don't do?
it lets you say you have a £1600 phoneI'm obviously out of touch with the mobile world - what phone costs £1,600 and what does it do that other phones for half the price don't do?
Could you buy a cheaper/second hand phone that you can still get a quadlock cover (or similar) for and use that instead?
I wouldn’t be at all surprised if it wasn’t an Apple iPhone 16 pro max with plenty of storageI'm obviously out of touch with the mobile world - what phone costs £1,600 and what does it do that other phones for half the price don't do?
I was looking at an iPhone 16 pro with 256gb and that’s £999 
Yep, that sounds right. The iPhone 16 Pro Max with 1TB of storage retails for £1,599. It’s essentially a professional grade still and video camera that can also place phone calls.I wouldn’t be at all surprised if it wasn’t an Apple iPhone 16 pro max with plenty of storage

A rear light. It mounts under the saddle on the saddle rails via a bracket and can be removed from the bracket by twisting half a turn for charging (USB-C).Tested it this afternoon going into lighting up time (around 4pm) over some gnarly descents and 30miles of mixed on and off road and it's still attached and working fine. Think I paid £12, worth a look if your after a cheap rear light that mounts discreetly out of the way.

It’s the same as everything Apple too, friggin expensive, yeah I know I’m a hypocrite because I have Apple stuff, I still have an iPhone 4s (which sits on my Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin speaker) an iPhone 6s and my present phone which is an iPhone 7 Plus, they all work and are in near mint condition, and of course I have my iMac and an old iPad.
I like that, if I didn’t have a reverb dropper I’d have one of them too, the battery sticks too far to allow anything else to fit under the saddle

It also comes with a seat post mount, so depending on how far your dropper falls into itself it could still work?I like that, if I didn’t have a reverb dropper I’d have one of them too, the battery sticks too far to allow anything else to fit under the saddle

Same question, but a quarter the price?I'm obviously out of touch with the mobile world - what phone costs £1,600 and what does it do that other phones for half the price don't do?

A pair of Fox Ranger pants from Winstanley £69.99 free delivery.
The old ones are getting just too knackered looking. They used to stay looking cleanish and respectable for several rides, but these days they look knackered and disreputable even when clean on.
I've just taken them out of the tumble drier and they look OK (ish). One more ride then!

Thanks Steve, next time I’m at our local retail park I’ll call into Halfords and have a look mate
