What did you buy your ebike this week?

[Amber Valley Guy]

Have similarly tried to clean Velcro and also failed to remove embedded shit.

Yeh, it gets to a point that its easier to replace than try and pick all the trail detritus out, and the mud stains will still probably remain. And the old stuff is still handy and useable around the house/garage/shed/garden.

Well where's a pic of the tyre? Or is it a secret?

Not here yet …buuuuut… when I install the tire (Maxxis Assigia)I will align the air valve between the XX. of the Maxxis emblem.
Pics to follow soon I hope. .

A new lid to replace the one that saved me a concussion when I smacked the back of my head into a tree on Roots Manoeuvres.
I’ve always used the 100% Aircraft 2 and they’ve been fabulous — I didn’t even have a concussion when I hit the ground hard enough to crack the shell of the helmet — but it’s become really difficult to find one in stock and I’ve heard rumours that 100% aren’t going to be doing full face helmets anymore.

So this time I’ve gone for the Alpinestars Missile Tech Solid helmet, which was a bargain at £150 (down from £400) courtesy of TradeInn. It fits a tiny bit better than the 100% but could do with a tad less crown padding, but as the pads pack out it should be spot on.

That is a good looking lid!

Any fule knows that when you're sitting on the bike and lean over to have a look down the Bosch logo is the right way up!

When you’re faced with an opportunity like I had…you take it. You could make history, become a trendsetter, solidify your legacy.

This is best done during the process of installing a rebuilt motor and new Bosch Badge on an upside down bike. However, all that could change in the future.

As mentioned, there are other benefits also that I never thought of.

Looky @Stihldog you're legend Gonna put my Bosch motor label on other way round as you do as a protest against "the man".

And if'n it's a hate crime then take me away
