What did you buy your ebike this week?

[steve_sordy]

Gary? Is he back?

See post #6779 (Apologies to those who had followed my previous mistype)

Bought some chain lube while at the trail centre the other day.

Bike was making an awful racket and I realised I haven’t lubed the chain in a while which is most unlike me.

Looked in my toolkit and the kids had nicked my lube (surprise surprise - they also take my tools without putting them back).

Got Rock n Roll Extreme Blue.

Seems to be doing a good job.

Sorry about that @Hodge I know that at your age every minute counts.
I have corrected my inadvertent mistype and left an apology to nameless others.
I wasted some minutes myself by tracing back to see if another Gary had joined.

Hello, both my bikes have had a treat this xmas, new v short hope stem and one up bars for my newer bike, and after 2 seized xt mechs, the old one got axs gx mech and shifter, that went on and works a treat on a xt cassette.

How long does it take to pump up a 29"x2.5" tyre to 20psi?

 

[Eliadn]

I have a xiaomi electric pump, it's pretty crop, it won't even reach 25 psi.

In the video it's inflating a 29x2.6 from 4.5 psi to 18.5 and took around 1 minute so not too much longer to do the numbers your asking, I would estimate about 2 minutes maybe ! Not the fastest but it's a gadget and I love a gadget lol.

I also bought one of these a few weeks back that I'm finding really useful in drying the bike, does a much better job than I do with a towel. It's got great airflow which is quite powerful, has a few attachments to direct the air in different ways and the length of the lead is not bad. My only gripe with it is the power button is a press and hold.

 

[steve_sordy]

And it looks like carbon fibre!!!!!

It’s odd, maybe it’s defective? I have one as well and it works very well I even use it to pop tubeless tires

Will the new e*thirteen Sidekick reduce the gen4 Bosch descending rattle?…….time will tell.

Really? I would attach it and it would rattle on, but the digital readout was barely going up. Much faster to use a regular pump.

In the first I thought its a carbon fibre watering can.

Bike bolts will love me for the 3 things I bought today.

 

[AlumiPro]

Pademelon Steering Damper, along with one mount for my mtb and the other mount for my emtb. The damper itself is very easy to swap from one bike to the other once the mounts are installed.​

I’ll start a thread about it now that I’ve got several rides with it on each bike, it’s amazing…..reminds me of my days riding a CRF450 with a Scotts steering damper.​

That takes me back (a long way!) to having GPR steering dampers on my bikes*. Think there's still a damper 'somewhere' in the garage.

Edit: race motorcycles*

I don't have a steering damper on my eBike, but on my moto enduo bikes I had a Scott on my previous bike and a very fancy Öhlins on my present Gasgas.

Bought £200 worth of goodies from Peaty’s this week, thanks to EMBN.
Won their comp at the end of last year and rather than send out a prize pack to NZ they gave me a £200 credit for their online store and free shipping.

Cannot wait for it all to arrive!

• Bike cleaning kit (Loam Foam, tool box, brushes, etc)
• Tubeless kit (valves, tape, sealant)
• Puncture plugging tool
• Additional Brushes
• Lube
• Cleaning solution (loam foam)
• Drivetrain degreaser
• Fidlock bottle and mount

Had to modify my wish list as I couldn’t get anything aerosol sent.
