What did you buy your ebike this week?

[Money Pit]

I bought a hope ebike hub but it's gonna lead to new rim and spokes too

 

[Bummers]

After yesterday's unpleasantness, I've been to Halfords on a high octane shopping trip.

How much are Halfords selling it for out of interest?

 

[RustyMTB]

That particular one is £23.99 right now.

I think it's the same one SLX m7100 from crc for £24.99.

 

[RustyMTB]

Yeah, sort of component that's never really discounted much anywhere. Can pick them up on Ebay for £20ish but not if you need one quick, obvs.

 

[Zed. (Justin is short)]

skint now

Rich.

 

[Husky430]

Used the last of my brake oil so had to order some more and bought the rest to get some free postage... I'm sure there is some logic in there somewhere.

 

[steve_sordy]

Man logic, no other logic required.

 

[JkdJEdi]

Just gave my Deore some XTR quality shifting with just these....

Hopefully better than chinesium bleed kits

Id it wrong that this excites me a little? Who supplied it?

 

[Mcharza]

For flat pedal riding. It was on a good discount, so €80 in total

Its funny i bought a bleed kit as well but then I learned doing a gravity bleed was the easiest instead of the tubes and stuff. Theres a youtube vid from a santacruz team mechanic that shows how to do it.

I agreed, this is the easiest way to bleed your Shimano brakes. And it really works.

Amazon

Caveat to gravity bleed, not so good an idea with DOT brake fluid, unless you want to strip the paint from the caliper.

Could also be that I need to convert the Levo to a mineral oil brake set someday...

Newness for spring/summer

 

[Koban]

The rebuild of the Torque ON is almost done. Only frame/motor and fork ar original. Rest changed. ;-)

Waiting on the: last parts:
5DEV 160mm EP8 crank
OneUp Carbon E Bar and 42mm Stem
Magura MDR-P 220mm rotors + adapers

 

[KnollyBro]

All ready to ride with my modified 150mm cranks down from 175mm for my KSL which is impossible to find short cranks for. Thanks to @G-Sport for his help in sourcing the Praxxis Creo 1.1 road bike cranks and idea.

At first look I thought …giant pretzel. Then zoomed in to see a wood carving of a snake. One piece? Very nice .

The snake is carved out of beached drift wood lost from the local log booms off Spanish Banks. If you liked that, how about a giant frog!

Ooh sexy eh? £70 at Merlin, bit of a barg.

I considered that, then I read the reviews & stopped considering it.

 

[Bear-uk]

Bollocks I've ordered the wrong size

 

[RustyMTB]

You fool. It doesn't even look like an SLX 12 speed cassette.

 

[p3eps]

I needed something else in my basket to spend enough for free postage when ordering some purple bling for my daughter’s bike.
I saw this blue / black Camelbak Podium Chill bottle, and thought it’d go nicely with my bike. I also bought the dirt cap for it too. Well worth spending about £18 to save £5 on the delivery

Man maths!

A Sram Eagle GX Axs upgrade kit and the upgrded rocker paddle for the shifter
