No but I did forget to plug inthe solenoid connector & spent an hour wondering why it wouldn't start.Hope you used the official centrifugal accelerator before re-installing the clutch pack?
What did you do to your EBike this week?

Great pictures. And it wasn't raining, bonus points awarded.
@Weeksy . Is that the rise that's knackered? Which motor has that got in it?
Hey beautiful people, I have a mount accessories (you know 2 bolts) on my bike, I just bought the oneup pump ... but there is absolutely no clearance with the bottle cage (dumb dumb) so it goes in my backpack which defeat the purpose - my fox38 is also apparently not edc compatbile f...it only mini which is useless to me.
I though of using a B-RAD Mounting Bases from wolf to lower the cage not sure it is lower enough nor really secure for heavy riding.
Not sure what I could use in that place, what do you use/bought?

Thanks, it makes a change too, it was quite windy on the summit but once I dropped about 800ft it dropped to warm sunshine

Back out today in the sunshine, this time Blencathra, playing hide and seek in the random clouds.
Hi mate ..Great pics ..
I noticed that you were fairly new to the forum ..most of us post our ride photos in the Pic of the Day section ..
Just thought you might want to do the same
You may want to replace the spider lock ring or castle nut with a new one. Because the nut is made of alloy the threads wear and stretch after being torqued a few times.
Some blue lock tight will help …but eventually it won’t.
I keep a few spare castle nuts, plus the torque is slightly increased on the new ones.

Rode my bike for first time in 2 months 🫤
Bpw as usual…
Friday afternoon cut short by punctured rear tyre - tubeless sealer wasn’t up to the task
Long walk down the hill
Saturday rode afternoon, again @ Bpw, good times had
Saturday I started being brave with attempting some smaller drops on trails, now I’m getting back into practice after ~ 7 months avoiding rough trails thanks to breaking my heel….
Still hurts.
Today again rode all day, flattened battery stopped fun
Also today I tried and failed to swap forks on the Norco, have fox38’s currently but they’re slurping and I’m not a fan historically
Also I have manitou dorado twincrown / upside-down forks that I’ve dropped travel from 203mm to 180mm (as deemed safe by Norco) so decided it would be a dinner time task at the park!
Unfortunately I’d fitted a 1 1/8”-1.5” crownrace adaptor BUT the Norco….
Uses 1.5” top and 1.8” lower headset bearings so no dice🫤
Tried the crownrace from the Norco-fitted 38’s but wasn’t happy about stacking adapters so I’ll be making a solid alternative this week on one of my lathe’s
Nothing is ever easy

Really?Well it seems I'm buying a new rear wheel and mech .
First ones I've ever destroyed in over 40 years of mtbing.
..you obviously haven't been trying hard enough ..congrats
Flatted another rim [Friday], nearly killed another GX Transmission mech (pogo pins are starting go so intermittent battery connection issues) [Saturday], ran out of pad material on the front brakes (oops) [Sunday], and then fell off it on 50 Shades of Black and took a massive chunk out of the mech and my lovely Stamp pedals 
[also Sunday].
If you turn the audio up on this video you'll hear the moment of rim impact. - YouTube
I used to use Cushcore but ditched inserts as I don't like how the bike rides with them, but I'll be putting one back in the rear because it's getting a bit expensive!

I have the pump mounted under my bottle cage. I also have the 76 projects pump mount that would work for your top tube mounts.
I don’t have the LGE size bike like you do so I’m limited in mounting options (M-Rail). My PACs (2) would carry the OneUp pumps with tools and tire plugs.
In 4+ years I only needed a pump once (lucky I guess) so I eventually carried a Co2 cartridge and small tool kit for each pac. CushCore for the rear wheel.
If I was traveling further from home, or longer distances, then I would carry a proper pump and tool kit.
I can, and have, limped home on a flat, with CushCore, a few times. A Co2 kit is much easier, and slightly lighter, and cheaper. But I wouldn’t depend on that for a longer ride.
Yeah on the Orbea it works as the bottle cage is very low. Don’t understand why they put it so high on the slash+.
I just cannot have a bag in the saddle, I need the clearance, especially as I am using the anomaly SwitchGrade that allow me to completely change the incline of the saddle - great for climb to DH.
So far I have found the Crankbrothers - S.O.S. TT17 but it looks burly and not sure my leg would not catch it during the ride in some position.
I am using all the time a backpack, especially as I ride alone (medikit, now edc pump etc). I was very sad to not being able to use edc inside the fork as it would habe ease the weight on my shoulder!
Uswe backpack are awesome but once it reach a certain weight, well it feel it.
I have a small drybag from Huck (formally Louri) with a tube, spark patches, miultitool and CO2 strapped to the frame. I carry my pump in a tiny £3.95 running bumbag that’s almost invisible under my jersey (it’s only big enough for the pump and a multitool). Water bottle on the frame for hydration.

Added ODI Rogue v2.1 grips the Trek, supposed to have great shock absorbing characteristics. Also added Entity flat pedals to the Giant. I have Bontrager line comp 30 27.5 rear wheel and 108 rear hub, and I am going to out that on the Trek, try it as a mullet for a while (It's a Rail 5 gen 3 with the flip chip for this). I am 5' 7" and I feel this will do a lot to keep the rear wheel off my butt.
Finally did the yearly service for the start of season.
Used all the parts I had bought over winter and Black Friday

I like that, if I didn’t have a reverb dropper I’d have one of them too, the battery sticks too far to allow anything else to fit under the saddle ☹️ This one off Amazon fits with the AXS and has NOT moved or loosened up through 1000 miles of very rough rock gardens. When it comes time to...

The service kit comes with an extensive manual (it’s easy) and there is a video on this forum:

This may have been the video to trigger me into making this a routine maintenance for my Bosch motor. At least once a year for the bearing seal and grease and every 4-6 months for the grease for just the grease.
Also, if you like Morgan Freeman or David Attennborough you’ll find the commentary in this video very soothing.

The bearing seal kit, with grease, is not for a sealed bearing. It’s an additional seal, or covering, for the main crankshaft bearing (2).
The kit protects the sealed crankshaft bearings from possible water ingress.
