What did you buy your ebike this week?

[speedkills]

So with all of the new gear in this thread, do we update this thread with our feedback, or is there another thread for that?

There's a section called reviews if you want to write about something and tell people about it.

Thanks. I'll think that one over, maybe I'll fire up a new thread for quick thoughts on our gear as I don't think I have enough to say to start up a review thread, and often find myself wondering how people are getting along with their latest mod after a few weeks of riding.

Made a sort of mini-reviews thread with no expectation of fancy pictures, part numbers, or really any sort of real effort towards a quality review How do you like what you bought your ebike last week? - EMTB Forums

@Cakey boy put me on to this rear light. All the usual different flash options, but also an accelerometer, so includes a brake light and sleep mode. So, no need to keep turning it on / off and anyone behind me can see if I’ve chickened out on DH section?

Also got one for swmbo and my lad who spend most of their time on the road.

Bought myself a decent stand, and more gloves as my current one are 15 years old and kinda see through.

Regarding the superbike vs downhill mountain bike, I’d have to think more but as somebody who has been riding superbikes for a fair while including racing them, while some things are the same the difference in weight and power make them feel very different.

Target fixation is the same. Struggling right now to think of more beyond the obvious. The differences I’m trying to adapt to are the weight difference and lack of momentum in all dimensions that mass brings. The power of my bikes being used to steer, I can’t read wheel steer my MTB. And the difference in body position is drastic.

Being light on the controls, no death grip, staying loose, using your body weight. Those are the same actually. But it feels very different.

Until then just put them on and practice tumbling in your back yard.

What's up with "neverbeentomoab"? Is it a brand? A way of saying you're not an XC rider? Or a way to say "people outside of North America ride too"? I've never seen it, then saw it twice this week in this thread which piqued my interest.

Neverbeentomoab is just my handle.In the 90s Moab was the one destination every mtber wanted to go mainly due to mountain bike action magazine and always been my dream bike holiday. Neverbeentomoab is a way of reminding myself I haven’t made it yet(but one day I will?)

 

[speedkills]

Oh geez, I did not look at the username and see it was you on both of them, I thought I saw two different posts from two different people and was worried I was behind on the latest bicycle fashion trend.

Those Kapz caps aren't cheap are they... I was thinking of getting one done with my username too.

New XT 12 speed derailleur.
Stick 1: Derailler 0.
Bike 2 weeks old!
I think that as the motor keeps drive slightly after peddling stops (Giant-Yamaha) that the automatic reaction to instantly stop peddling when detecting a stick is overwritten. Maybe ...
At least it was a nice day for a walk - albeit from the bottom of the hill.

 

[speedkills]

Your bike made it just a touch longer than mine did. I'm now riding with a chain tensioner in my backpack for the next time this happens.

Hope you bought a spare hanger too?

Clearly the hanger is too strong, it should have snapped of before it bent up like that ?

After years of resisting one, I finally bought a bell for my bike, but not just any bell.
I bought an OI!

It gives a single penetrating ping. They come in silver, and copper as well as black. Mine was on offer from Tredz, but they've only got copper ones now. I bought ths one to qualify for the £5 off when buying above £30, so it only cost me £7.99.If you have standard 22mm dia bars, you need the small size (they should have called it standard!)

I'm afraid there a complete waste of money. I've had 2 now and the major flaw in the design is the hammer and spring which arent fit for purpose. you are better off with the Oi Luxe bell which as a different design on the hammer and spring but still maintains the same design
