What did you buy your ebike this week?

[Stihldog]

* just wondering what you do when your front wheel is facing backwards?

Use the other eye of course.

 

[Pazman]

Good to hear ..but I'll wait until I've won Euromillions before I give radials a try ..£80ish a tyre ..the hype needs to be real !

2 for £130 at 2 wheels only

Life can be soooo easy!

That’s awesome! My method can seem a bit primitive but this streamline’s the technique. Well done


I was gonna patent the idea but it looks like you improved it.

I would call that a spirit leveler hoarding problem!

Learned today that germ. „Wasserwaage“ is in engl. „spirit level“. What I would have related to either motivation or drinking.

Definitely! I’m down to 6 levels (from 14). Kept one of my laser levels but I have this one (same) in storage. Got it at a yard sale for $20.


I’ve used 4litre plastic coke bottle half full of water also.

Only on the first pic, second pic is OK.
A simpler explanation is that @Levo-Lon had inadvertently flipped the 1st pic.
Or maybe you are correct and he flipped the 2nd pic!

Exactly that..and being a master interwebist I had no idea how to reverse it

 

[Levo-Lon]

Got one of these to allow me to fit my expensive Miche carbon wheels as they're center lock.

Required a bit of filing to remove the shimano splines from the center so I could fit it..it's specialized specific..if you have shimano hubs need to remove the filings on the magnet after seeing photo
Miche wheels are standard centre lock
Every day is a school day

Nice strong fast xc set up

As usual I've cocked up the photo order

 

[Levo-Lon]

In other news..
I managed to sort the shock photo so it's not mirrored.

Time for a well earned rest

 

[Arminius]

Please! Remove those red warning stickers from rotors!

Please! Remove those red warning stickers from rotors!

But what if I stick my finger in the rotor while it's turning!!!
I need to have this warning
It's there to save me from myself

Will do..I never really take any notice of details like this as life's too short to soend time picking at stickerswith amazeballs super glue on them

But it's still upside down ffs!

You can't expect anything too clever from me ..this was hard enough

Give me a few days to recover from un-mirroring and I'll see what's possible

Sorted

just bought ridewrap, Pinnd 145mm cranks and some Oak brake levers for my newly ordered Norco Range VLT C1 (gen3 / 2023 model with Shimano Ep8 motor)

Yesterday ordered said Norco from Tredz - today had notification that it's built and should be delivered tuesday

Rich.

 

[RustyMTB]

2m of brake hose, a set of Hope olives, barbs & crush washers & as I may have cocked up already, an internal cable routing tool. Long story short, my normy bike sprung a leak in the rear brake hose.

Ordered a DT Swiss FR541 27.5 rear wheel, DHRII tyre, some DMR death grips in snow camo and a funn equalizer zero stem in grey for my amflow. Now I just wait for delivery.

 

[Astro66]

Bought and Installed new levers on my EMTB. Those Shimano SLX and XT levers are so piss weak. These are CNC levers with some flex designed into them.

AUD$100 delivered from America, from a company called Tarazon. They specialise in CNC motor cycle bits.

Great choice of wheel! I am a serial rim destroyer (I killed 6 wheels last year ) and the FR541 is the only one that can stand up to my abuse. I did manage to put a hairline crack in one but the gap I pulled for was so stupid I can’t blame the rim at all.

So last night I had a bit of a fettle night, used some fricking lazooooors.

I got one of those laser aligner things from Aliexpress and it was a complete waste.
The laser line wasn't even centred, so I claimed a refund.

Well, considering I paid $9 for it, delivered, I'm not expecting much, but if it isn't right, I'll claim a refund.

 

[Tooks]

I got one of those laser alignment things as well, mine appears to project a straight line but the handlebar clips don’t fit either side of my stem.

Yeah, maybe my stem is wider than average (fnaar), but I’ve still chalked it up as a solution looking for a problem and something I didn’t really need in my life.

But, freakin lazer beams man!

 

[Grinandyogi]

Does giving it a good wash down and making it squeaky clean count? The washing liquid was specially chosen with this in mind haha

Points well to the left, what else would you expect from a communist country

 

[Polar]

Another set of Galfer purple pads since they were on sale.

 

[NMNomad]

Outbound lighting portal downhill package, Quad lock and all the accessories, and crank bros stamp 7 pedals. I picked it up Monday, so we are in the process of dressing her up a bit.
