What did you buy your ebike this week?

[Slymobi]

What's the calibrated accuracy of the pump in +- psi or bar or percent?

Sorry, I have no idea what your asking but checking the tolerance on my normal floor pump with a non digital gauge it's accurate enough for me lol. I bought it for just throwing in the bag for when it's needed as I only own a floor pump and a shock pump and I don't carry the floor pump around for obvious reasons anyone who's ever had to inflate a tyre with a shock pump out and about will know it takes a while lol so was looking for a digital gauge pump and these type of things were generated in my search.... Thought why not ? And here we are

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

I love Wera tools.

Oneup dropper and loam lever to replace the POS KS I rage dropper that was on the bike from stock

A pair of Crank boots

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.

A lovely pair of yellow Ohlins factory race lowers for my DH38s, courtesy of the other half as my Xmas gift .

They’re being fitted by J-Tech when they have the forks to do a custom tune in the New Year and I’m weirdly excited to see how they look on my KSL and my (analog) FRS.

Well they didn’t get to go on my ebike yet, but they look awesome so have a photo anyway .

J-Tech have done a cracking job with the custom tune on the fork and shock, I don’t think I’ll ever bother riding stock suspension again as it’s just an exercise in aggravation (I find setting up suspension incredibly tedious).

A bottle of methylated spirits for the final degrease of the chain (I use a diesel as the main degreaser) instead of my usual boiling water and Gunk (dilutable degreaser).
Don't know if it's just me but those Linkglide chains rust like crazy as they don't seem to have any surface protection on the side plates so I decided not to use water until the weather warms up again in Spring and can be sure all the waters evaporated.

Any chance there is something on your drive train carrying or creating carbon steel particles, that may set down on the chain and cause rust stains?

No, I think the boiling water and degreaser did to good a job of completely degreasing the chain. I fully dried the chain then used an 'all weather lube" (wax based) last time I cleaned it (a drop on every inner and outer pivot plus a drop between inner links and rollers. Came back a few days later (this was over Christmas) and everywhere without the lube was was going rusty (I'd done one 20 mile ride with the wax lube before I put the bike away for Christmas for 3 or 4 days). So I'm going back to an oil lube and avoiding water as I'd rather have a thin film of oil on the chain than red rust. All weather lube is useless in British winter slop imo.
