What did you buy your ebike this week?

A bag of these dog biscuits thingies for the Marzocchi Bomber rear.

Oh, and Miranda cold-forged al 150mm cranks. No more pedal strike zone.

Endura baabaa merino socks and endura singletrack 2 trousers
Might send the trousers back as there a little too baggy for my liking on the lower leg after get used to my dfyr trousers
Lush colour though in blueberry
Haven’t decided yet great quality as ever though

And today some tru-tension Fillmore valves well just to top bit upgrade bit

I just picked one up recently as well. We had one of our kid's friends along for a 6 mile trail ride. He got a flat about 4 miles in. I pumped it back up with the Cycplus AS2 Pro. He was able to make it all the way back home to make a proper repair. I am pleased with the purchase. It gives a little extra peace of mind for those longer rides.

Very nice! How do you like the Shredda tires? I am interested in picking up a couple of alberts to test here in the high desert.

I actually like them a lot, I think the Alberts would be better on hard pack or slab rock, but loose or soft terrain these are great!
 
A new lid to replace the one that saved me a concussion when I smacked the back of my head into a tree on Roots Manoeuvres.
I’ve always used the 100% Aircraft 2 and they’ve been fabulous — I didn’t even have a concussion when I hit the ground hard enough to crack the shell of the helmet — but it’s become really difficult to find one in stock and I’ve heard rumours that 100% aren’t going to be doing full face helmets anymore.

So this time I’ve gone for the Alpinestars Missile Tech Solid helmet, which was a bargain at £150 (down from £400) courtesy of TradeInn. It fits a tiny bit better than the 100% but could do with a tad less crown padding, but as the pads pack out it should be spot on.

A new front brake because the tektro brakes that came stock on the Powerfly 5 can’t be rebuilt. I mean, theoretically they can IF you could buy the gorram parts.

My LBS is a Shimano dealer and maintains a decent selection in stock. Ergo, after fighting with bleeding the Tektro brake multiple times and still having an air ingress issue, I bought a brand new 2-pot front brake and installed it. I’m already impressed with the component quality and how easy it is to bleed. Needless to say, once the rear brake starts having issues, it’s getting replaced with a Shimano.

1m of 20mm wide Velcro (or should that be hook and loop?) strapping. As the old Velcro was getting grotty...and even after a good wash and scrub it still looked grotty with mud stains, grass, seeds etc that was beyond the time/ effort / patience of removing with tweezers.

Have similarly tried to clean Velcro and also failed to remove embedded shit. :rolleyes:

Yeh, it gets to a point that its easier to replace than try and pick all the trail detritus out, and the mud stains will still probably remain. And the old stuff is still handy and useable around the house/garage/shed/garden.
