What did you do to your EBike this week?

[Bones]

Must make a big difference that cover ,that's where most of the crap goes.

It looks shit but does a fantastic job
Got it off a mate that accidentally ordered two from somewhere!

The best kind of mates. Not half as ugly as most of the rear mudguards out there

Busy couple of hours:
# Chain still skipping in the middle of the cassette. Is the chain worn?
# Shifter cable tension adjusted, shifting fine now.
# Cassette checked, slight burrs in middle range, OK elsewhere.
# Chain was rubbing on the cable wire on the mech, looked a bit long. Removed two links took it back to 116 links. No longer rubbing on cable.
# Removed chain and measured over 100 links, still 0.125%. at 1022 miles.
# New front tyre fitted Maxxis Assegai 29x2.5” 3C Maxx Grip TR DH Casing. After 3280 miles the old one (same) was ready for the bin.
# Rear rim is wobbling side to side 3-4mm. Front is true. I'll let the bike shop do that when I replace the rear wheel (arriving in a couple of days).

if you have shortened the chain you possibly need to readjust the B tension. Surprised you opted for DH casing for the front wheel. I use DD on the back wheel and EXO+ on the front.......seems a reliable compromise between weight and protection. I use Assegai front and DHR11 back but that bike mainly only does forest riding so no rocks...just roots!.

I would not use an Assegai for cross country type rides a round here in the winter...it just clogs with mud and becomes a slick!! DHF is better for mud clearance and in the winter for the bike that does all of the cross country riding I change the rear Dissector to a Shorty or Hillbilly.

Psst ... now have High Roller 3 front and rear for winter, can't fault them. Exemplary grip in all conditions including mud, and faster rolling than expected too.

yep I saw that tyre as an option but had already bought both a Shortie and Hillbilly ( cos that one was cheap as chips!) during the summer...advanced planning! Could be an option for next year.......not for the front though.

Today got my Ohlins TTX22m.2 coil shock serviced by Windwave in Portsmouth. Had done about 2,500 miles (about 300 hours?) and apparently still in pretty good condition. Took it in this morning and collected it this afternoon, thanks Windwave.

Especially for the front! Probably going to leave front on all year and then use part worn Assegai and DHR2 as rears in drier conditions.

Just got myself a pair of these to replace the Assegais for the northern winter slop riding!

Only 53.99 each from wolf cycles!

I added a velcro strap to my downtube.
While I have never had any issues with the battery or cover coming off, I have read anough now that my rides were becoming less enjoyable every time I ended up in some janky fast-paced trails.
I had a spare strap in the house, so added that for peace of mind. It bothers me from an aesthetic perspective, but at least now I can barrel down a lumpy, bumpy and jumpy trail without any worries of the battery or cover falling out.
