What did you do to your EBike this week?

[steve_sordy]

......................
Really frustrating that when you line the valve up on one side to be in the middle, on the other side its #wonky

.............

WTB is the same, Maxxis not so much.

This week was Fatbar Lites.

More than twice the rise, half the weight of the stock bars (not I care much on a Rail ) and £75

First test ride out this morning, much better on the posture

Without the fold in the bar and the little hole under the grip to allow the cable to be hidden, what did you do to route the cable? I know it has to go outside the bar, but did you just ziptie it or use something else?

Had a look i could possibly get them as a Xmas present. Not sure about what sweep and rise though

My stock ones were 15mm rise, and chose to get 40mm, so effectively an inch higher in old miney.

They are 760mm long as opposed to the 780mm of stock, but I'm not missing the cm either side.

I went for the fatbar V2 in black as I fancied the 40 mm rise 800mm wide. All out in the lite but at 50 gramms heavier that's not as heavy as my sandwich. Cheers £69 freepost as weel

Mulleted my Whyte e160, and shaved just under 900 grams off the rear end even with a burlier tyre. Just got to order the shape it link now.

Was bored, so I disassembled and cleaned the derailleur for fun

Well done. I took vacuum to pieces today as cable was cutting out . It's in the garbage now £130 for new one

 

[Tyjay]

New fork decals arrived
Removed and fitted in about 10-15 mins

When I did my fox forks last year took about 90 mins due to decals being welded on and coming off in tiny tiny pieces was sick of my life that day

Always used Mt500 Endura lycra shorts , had about 6 pairs over last 20 years. They still use shorts with that name but the ones available I have seen in shops are half the thickness and Chamois padding is the same pretty thin . I looked at the undershorts liner with same name but no mention of the padded arse bit. Shops I have tried have not been much help. I wonder how good the ones in pic are , the Chamois is not mentioned . Can't be bothered faffing about ordering stuff to send back . Thing is shops don't seem interested, I remember when I could go to a shop and order something now they don't offer that option.

Applied some grease to my front axle, long overdue

I actually bought a new rear one for levo . Whel been off and on so much the threads looked worn. June 2019.

 

[Mik3F]

Mine was very tough to remove, but went back in nice and smooth

Need to do the rear one next

I was after some 155mm cranks for the Ep8 to replace the 165mm cranks on the Moterra...then I found these for the princely sum of £44. Shimano 160mm em900 cranks for the EP8, that's approx a 75% discount on most UK prices. Not 155mm but hell they're £44 and should cut down the pedal strikes. From Bike parts.co.uk, link below.

Shimano STEPS FC-EM900 Hollowtech crank arm set; W/O chainring; 160 mm

Replacement crank arm for E-bikes various lengths available 160mm, 165mm, 170mm, 175mm HOLLOWTECH II crankarm technology providing the best balance between stiffness, strength, weight and rotating performance This is a genuine Shimano replacement part

Yes after 5 years I got Hope 155 cranks. Definitely not as much pedal strikes.

I did that on my Focus Jam2. In effect the Revelation fork was turned into a Pike.

Bought in August! It’s a dream!

 

[steve_sordy]

I just bought some Muc-off tubeless valves, plus other stuff in their 25% off sale. While I was paying, my Norton anti-virus package chipped in with a "Comeback10" code (it might be "Comeback 10) which was another 10% off.

Their all a dream I think . Five years and 10,000 miles and still loving my Levo enjoy

 

[DieBoy]

Fitted a new display (Purion400), and gave the bike a clean ready for the service at the LBS tomorrow.

Have you fitted this with the mini remote ?

Nope, LED remote (which came stock).

Previously had a Kiox 300, so already had the necessary display cable.

220 rotors front and rear and pads are ordered. Will make my own magnet mount on the shimano 220 rotors. In 7 months ive been through 2 rotors and on my 5th pair of pads. Probably normal for 327,000' of decent.

Whyte E160 RSX fitted with original AXS now over 2.5 years old so I renewed the 2032 cell battery in the gear selector. I reckon 2+ years is about the right time to change any non rechargeable battery rather than wait for it to die out on the trail...especially in colder weather..........tcu/Purion/ AXS pods/wireless remotes.

Seen a nice bell .

Ding-Ding-Ding.
Some of us would appreciate more details.

I use a jingle-bell mounted on my bar. It’s always on…but after a few rides I don’t hear it.
