I do the same. Better safe than sorry. I keep one in my both my hydration packs so I never have to think about it. I rotate them out every other charge to keep them even on charge cycles. My Garmin does tell me when the battery gets low.
What did you buy your ebike this week?

One of these days, when my Fox dropper breaks, I'll go Oneup!
I did buy SRAM Reverb this week and today it's where it's supposed to be.
Life is now less complicated especially when micro adjustments is available.

Had the same experience: Post in thread 'Better jockeys'As my old jockey wheels are looking a little tatty and not spinning as freely as I’d like I thought I’d buy some new Hope jockey wheels to carry on with the red accent on my bike, also, this is the attention to detail I like with Hope, the bag the jockey wheels came in is heat sealed across the middle to keep the wheels from clattering against each other in transit, I know it seems sad to most people but I think it’s worth a mention

Some Magura Shiftmix 3 adapters to hang dropper and axs levers from 
Semmelrocc
E*POWAH Master
Bike is ready for the new season after having it back from the dealer for a spring checkup. Instead of replacing a broken spoke, they replaced the rear wheel because they said the original Roval rim was beyond repair due to several cracks (which I hadn't noticed, but the wheel already had 9.500 km on the clock). New rims are Contec Xeta Max, never heard of them, but LBS said the new wheel is at least as good, if not even better than the original. ;-) We'll see... One thing I got used to immediately is the almost non-existent ratchet sound (Hub: Contec Core DB).

its for connecting and disconnecting the Di2 connections. This prevents you from pulling on the wires rather than the plugs when removing and aids in installation too.

needed new crank-arms for my '22 Rail5 (loose & worn splines
) and while I was at it some Mavens fell into my hands
Rich.
You definitely want to have good brakes on the trails you ride.Ironic name for a brake pad, don't ya think! Someone in Marketing must have a sense of humor or not speak English all that well. I will give them a try on my "less steep" trails until they prove themselves.
While I was bedding in those Cooma pads on the front brakes I found they got a little to grabby for my liking, especially for a front brake. I may give them another try on my rear brakes but after my last crash, from front brake fade, I am less likely to take any risks.
This trail has several steep rock slabs on it and previous to this trail, I was riding other steep rock slab trails. At 2:13 I gave myself a warning but by 2:18 I knew I was in trouble. I am sticking with the SRAM Code RSC stock pads on Magura 220mm rotors for now!

That as one garnly slope there.. maybe if you didn't touch your front brakes at all you'd have more control of that front wheels direction. Kudos for having the balls to even go down that.. wow, that was crazy. I subscribed
Haha... it certainly is a decent sized slab (but definitely not the most difficult!) for Squamish. As for braking, 95% of your braking is done on your front wheel as that is where all the weight is going directly into the ground. If you only used your back brakes, you would skid out instantly and accelerate to the bottom. Thanks for the sub. My Youtube channel is for my own amusement and prove I actually did it, when I get to the Care Home in the not too distant futureThat as one garnly slope there.. maybe if you didn't touch your front brakes at all you'd have more control of that front wheels direction.

I have some bits of tubing and a wide jaw vice that works great for that.
How can you tell which is the front of a tree and which is the back. No Googling please .That’s kinda funny
Our logging camp was one of the largest (400+ loggers) and isolated on Northern Vancouver Island. I began my career there as a handi-man (my early 20’s with trade certifications). Besides my regular duties I was also assigned recovering workers (“the walking wounded”) and gave them “light-duty work”.
One particular guy, who I was assigned, was the weightlifting champion of Canada. Great right? Wrong. This kid was massive, full of steroids, and loved himself. I gave him a hammer, a handful of nails and some stair-treads. With a two-handed grip on the hammer, the first nail went flying somewhere. The second nail got bent. He could barely hit the remaining nails.
He sat in my shop for the rest of the week. Size 2 hard hat, size 15 boots.
Rode wife's Rail couple of weeks ago and almost crashed because the brakes are nothing like as good as on my Rail. So bought two Swissstop Catalyst Pro 220mm rotors which fitted to her bike today under the pretence that I was "servicing" her brakes. Mmmm, pretty nice.

Did the same, front and rear 2.6 MAxxis Minions, and finally dropped in the Deore XT rear pulleys. HAve a pair of XT rotors coming in tomorrow.. slowly dialing her in
Will you tell her before next ride?Rode wife's Rail couple of weeks ago and almost crashed because the brakes are nothing like as good as on my Rail. So bought two Swissstop Catalyst Pro 220mm rotors which fitted to her bike today under the pretence that I was "servicing" her brakes. Mmmm, pretty nice.
Have only told her that I've serviced her brakes and that they should work "quite a lot better so be careful" when we ride next week. Haven't changed her Shimano M4100 levers - do have a spare pair of Shimano M6100 levers but can't fit these right now because she would notice straight away. Got to wait for the "could use a bit more brakes" comment after a downhill run
