What did you buy your ebike this week?

[p3eps]

I bought this little Knog Blinder light. It's getting dark earlier and earlier, and I find myself riding home from an evening ride with the street lamps on now. I have no intention of riding the trails in the dark... but wanted something cheap / cheerful to be seen for the next few weeks in the dying light.

Dinky with an easy on / off type elastic band.

Can flash with in various patterns - one with a skull!! The camera struggles to take a photo of a bright light - this is actually fully lit and doesn't look like the middle section is defective!!

My favourite part is that you don't need a cable to charge it - part of the mount is a USB connection and just slots in.

Not bad for £15.99!

Finaly got my new fork graphics through. Completely non functional, but its the little things that matter!

I've sent Slik Graphics about 3 emails, web contact twice, and WhatsApp'd them twice now (over the course of 5 weeks) and they've never replied

Bought a $25 clip found an old belt in the basement strapped it round my chest. I'm really impressed by the iPhone 14 pro stabilisation sensor.
Got a cheap GoPro sadly it's not possible to load up the test video.

Cassette and Chain - well overdue

Snap! I got a very similar set a few weeks ago:

I also got a matching one for the rear shock:

Hmmnnn. Hadn't considered a set of rear shock decals. I may have to have a look now...

A lil torque wrench

Hope 155mm cranks in Orange, they should arrive today.

Deity Copperhead 31.8/35mm stem. Will move my current Gusset S2 AM 31.8/40mm stem into my wife's Rail to replace the stock Bontrager 50mm stem.

I found the 35mm Deity Copperhead stem just a bit too short with SQlab 30X 12 degree sweep bars (made steering a bit too sensitive). Will be returned.

That's a shame, their stuff is good. I'd say keep trying. I went from this to that last year, very happy with the quality

I’ve had stuff from them in the past, and it’s A1 which is why I’m persevering. Not sure how long I keep trying though.

If they can't be bothered to reply to enquiries then I'd be shopping elsewhere by now. They posted a story on their Instagram 21hrs ago so maybe try contacting them on there as one last ditch effort?

I've used them in the past and found them fine too. What specifically are you looking for, sometimes it might be buried in the sub-menu choices?

Their quality seems great. They did take a bloody long time to come though. Think it was almost a month between ordering and arrival.

Not the end of the world for somthing non-urgent, but still not ideal.

I want a few things, but the main thing I want / can’t see is a turquoise blue S-Works sticker for my frame - preferably in a metallic blue. I’d also like some Industry Nine wheel graphics, and Lyric / Super Deluxe - all of which I can see online. It’s the S-Works that I’d like first though to see if the others would be too much!!

I can’t contact them on Insta - it won’t let me message them.

 

[p3eps]

A haul of Industry Nine bits!
Valve caps (FOC, as they were wrong on my wheel order), some spacers and top cap.
Then a Hydra service kit - bearings, shims for pressing them, a spare pawl, and spare springs.

 

[RustyMTB]

On the Slik thing, I suspect if it's off piste, one off stuff, they can't be bothered with it. Still, they should at least say so.

That's weird, I can.

Duh - I was just clicking view profile, then going round in circles! Never noticed the text box at the bottom
Will try now

They've done S-Works decals for several other people on here...

For the garage where the bike lives:

Good thinking! this is something we should all have where we keep our ebikes and batteries. Better be safe!

Just £28 for both on Amazon UK so it's a no brainer. I'll probably also get a big lipo bag to keep/charge the battery in over the winter as I usually keep it in the house as the garage gets really cold.

Hope dropper lever. Beautifully made as you expect with Hope. Adjustable lever position and reach

Yeah, that's what I've done as well. Have been keeping all my lithium batteries in fireproof/lipo bags when in storage.

Got round to fitting the one-up 180mm and the hope lever that I posted the other day

Also fitted a new handlebar controller

 

[BigLee]

Got a new stem as when I torqued one of the bolts it went righty tighty then loosey
Also got some rimpact inserts to fit
