What did you buy your ebike this week?

[E&NonEinCO]

New 5.05" wide Snowshoes. Just in time - we have over 10" of snow today and it's still snowing. (Colorado, USA)

To my non-expert eye the Shredda tread pattern looks virtually identical to the Maxxis Maxxgrip High Roller 3's on our Trek Rails (DD front, DH rear).

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!

True but the near otb's from the gears skipping were getting tiresome

Can’t you just imagine that you didn’t have the chain checker

My accountant says I should imagine I don't have an ebike.
