What did you buy your ebike this week?
- Thread starter Simoto123
- Start date
Have a Sealey STS104 Digital Torque Screwdriver Set, 1/4" Hex Drive, 0 - 20NM, superb torque driver. Less than £70 on Amazon.
If you were to have one torque wrench, 0-20 or 20+, which one do you think is more needed?Needed a new torque wrench after leaving mine in a carpark somewhere
Topeak Torq stick pro , got a good deal from a German company, seems very well made and more than up to the job

O-20

If you've got carbon bars or whatever then 0-20. Otherwise, things just need to be tight enough that they don't move.
Things like Centrelock lock rings and chain ring lock rings at higher torque can be hard to gauge. Especially when they have fine threads so a torque wrench can be helpful here.
My RaceFace Aeffect cranks need 62nM which using a torque wrench was way more than I'd have guess at.
Definitely the 0-20 I have a 0-25 (even better).
The stuff that requires high torque tends to be the cassette and the BB and I'm quite comfortable levering at that end of the torque range. It's the low end I am cautious about; tiny bolts into soft alloy, squashing carbon bars or dropper seat posts that are filled with delicate fine tolerance components.

Check it periodically for condensation under that cover, I had one on my bike that’s how I know

Got the new forks put on today, along with the OneUp bars. And looks what else arrived today..... new rubber for the spring season.
Was the “ crossbar thing “ an add on ?

How stable is it when the wheels are on the bike?

Some mavic e deemax and maxxis tyres
Yep, £20 from Halfords.
Much better than clamping on the seat post.
I'll let you know tonight, just threw the bike in to quickly test it. Can feel how much more solid it is though.

That might be acceptable on a mullet but my poor soul is torn in half by that
Some people want to watch the world burn.

I have the same stand, found on Amazon of course. When I ordered mine there were 2 different weight rating, I bought the higher rated one. It seems to handle the emtb just fine even with wheels on. I don't know how I got along without it for so long! BTW, love the crossbar adapter...... there will be one arriving at my house soon I am sure!!

Can i ask where you got it(hopefully ebay) as the oly ones i can find have the button +/- on the bottom, and mine are like yours on the side.
Sure! Unfortunately not from ebay; I got it from ebike24.com, an online store in Germany:
MH - Protective Cover for Bosch Purion Display
You’ll find loads on ebay……..
That’s where I bought mine
Don’t use now due loads of condensation build up.

New handlebars this week. Wanted to try something with a bit more rise and saw these from Merlin for £40 so couldn't resist.
Cannondale Hollowgram 800mm with a 30mm rise. Weighed in at 204g
The original Orbea bars were a comparatively hefty 385g.
Not quite as nice as the Oneup bars I don't think. The Oneup bar is definitely more contoured and thinner/ flatter where the clamp area tapers off. I guess we'll see how they ride!
