What did you do to your EBike this week?

[Stihldog]

Think Permatex package this ^^^, wonder who actually manufactures it?

Hmmm , seems to be the same properties.

Dont forget your 25% off with your PRO deal!

When I first saw your response post I thought you were gonna guide me through the “self-ignore list” method. After consideration I changed my mind …I might be trapped in a time-warp-loop.

Btw, thanks for the purchase tip.

The 170mm dropper on my new Mondraker was too long, there isn’t much insertion depth on the frame, so I had to have quite a lot of lower tube out of the frame and about 45mm of upper tube not used. Really awkward to get back to my pedaling height after dropping it as well.

So I found a ‘cheap’ AXS dropper and re-purposed a right hand AXS shifter pod to the left (just flipped the holder onto the MMX bracket on the left side) and it looks a lot better and when extended goes back to my perfect seat clamp to saddle rail height.

Also fitted the little holder that can either take the Powermore 250 or a water bottle cage.

Finally also fitted a Zeb ‘mudguard’, which will do a bit.

Hubs for a new wheelset.

Still love the main setup and all upgrades.
Its my training maschine on lovely trails...
Greetings from vacation ️

After testing the Maven b1 kit on my wife’s bike. I put a set on mine.
Yes I do think they modulated way better now.
Up next
150-155mm Crankset.

I added Galfer Purples to the b1 kit and find the brakes to be perfect for me.

I may give some Absolute Black pads a try. Seems to be just enough online about them, to “bite” the bullet.
I like the Mavens, however they do end forward momentum a bit abruptly. It’s why I like them. Paradoxically……….
I could stand to lose less loss of speed from them, but I’m over satisfied with the current rate of speed loss. just need to smooth out the ramp from fast to slow.
Will report if I switch to AB graphene.

Whatsatt mean in Engerlish? Just asking.

Mavens are strong. I like them.

Better modulation would be great in circumstances where a little is good and a lot is too much.
Absolute Black pads are said to provide better modulation. So I can slow down in finer increments. Means higher speeds overall.

(Edit…..in theory…..)

That’s why I use the purples. Great modulation and easy to ramp up the power. I’m in the rocky desert so rear lock-up is less than wet soils but, before the b1 and galfers, I could inadvertently lock the rear in the asphalt parking lot.

Found a great deal on a OneUp bar and stem so I decided to go from 800mm to 760mm and 30mm to 42mm rise.

I wasn't expecting much but was surprised at how different it felt. So far I like it.

Had another play with my DIY magnetic pedals.

I swapped the ridged aluminium plate the magnets were mounted on for spring steel.

I found that with the aluminium plate, while it did snap my foot into position the magnets would ride against each other and not allow my shoes to dig into the pedal pins. When riding got rougher this resulted in my foot rotating on the pedal and a lose of grip sensation.

With the spring steel the magnet can be pushed down allowing my shoes to also grip onto the pedal pins, the harder I push down on the pedal the more contact with the pins. They now feel just like regular flats with the benefit of the snap to position and the slight upward pedal stroke momentum.

I need to test them some more but it's looking promising.

I gotta give you props for designing these up..…well done.

I also need and use magnetic peddles. Many years ago (6or7) I sat down at my coffee table and drafted something that might work for me. I thought I was brilliant, amazing, trend setting, so friggen smrt …until I googled magnetic peddles. My hopes and dreams of becoming filthy rich were crushed. .

Magped and Avery Hustle beat me to the punch. Both models are good but I installed Avery Hustle Magnetic Peddles on my bikes.

It’s a different motion or action for release for these peddles and pin placement and pin length can be configured for each rider or each foot.

Amazingly strong in a vertical motion but easy and simple in a horizontal motion. The audible “click” sound in my situation is helpful.
