What did you buy your ebike this week?

jeroen · Oct 25, 2020

Zeb Fender front + Mudhugger Large for the rear along with a reflective orange sticker to make it more part of the bike.
Will need to add a front fender below though it seems, but at least my ass as dry

In the end..... does not look too insanely bad.

Thinking of buying one of these myself, how are you liking it?

It's very fast and easy to make quick changes.

You're gonna like that shock. I have one on my Motobecane: Bikes direct 2020 HAL eboost Team with integrated battery - EMTB Forums

You'll instantly feel an increase in traction on your first ride. You may also find yourself using the brakes much less.

If you get around to it, let me know your initial impressions. Thanks.

It's by the Hayward/Union City board on the Chabot to Garin Trail. Does look a like Rocky Ridge but it's no where near as fun/challenging. It's almost all fireroad on parts of the Bay Area Ridge Trail: Chabot-to-Garin Regional Trail Mountain Bike Trail, Union City, California

Beautiful black ISIS Hope cranks, length 155mm

New tyres for the winter:
Front: Magic Marry Ultra Soft 29x2.4
Rear: Eddy Current Soft 29x2.6

First ride today: great combo for wet / mud / snow! The grip of the MM Ultra Soft is amazing.
I ride them at 1.0 bar front, 0.8 bar rear.

New Purion display to get rid of the Kiox
i know most go the other way but i like a clean cable and bar set up

Are you going to sell the Kiox?

Having been out three times in the mud over the past week I’d have historically put my non-ebike away for the foreseeable months.....

However this year the ebike has changed that. Riding in thick mud is great fun so I’ve bought these to save the bike from the worst.

Never had mudguards before but....RRP Proguard bolt-on front and rear mudguards are on their way.

Also, had this arrive today and have just fitted it. Need to be slightly more upright and this seems perfect with my Fatbars.

I just bought the exact same ones two days ago along with some new riding pants for the wet months. Did you get the standard or mini front fender?

Standard......will look worse than the mini but will be more effective. What did you go for?

i went with the mini, I figured if it wasn’t good enough I could always order the standard later.

I bought my eMTB a sister.

Rahr85 · Oct 29, 2020

Not really sure on the ARD but i wasn't ready to go full on cushcore yet. Changing to the e180 from the 160 has at least made pairing up colours a bit easier. invisiframe fitment next weekend and then it's time to get up into the peaks.

I ordered a front proguard off Amazon on Tuesday and it’s due for delivery friday. Looks like it’s coming from Germany.

willeco · Oct 29, 2020

Today my Mudhugger Large arrived. Not the best looking (actually no mud guard is good looking) but at my age you start looking for the best protection against wet/mud.

A bit long for my actual bike, but meant for the Specialized Turbo Levo Comp (expected end of December - if all goes well)...

Last week it was the Proguard Bolt-on Large. I did not need the included shims for mounting it on the Fox Float Rhythm 36. Fits perfectly and is the best front mudguard I ever used.
Has already proved itself in four 60-70 km rides in pretty harsh muddy conditions...approved

deksawyer · Oct 30, 2020

Seems to be a theme......I also ordered a Proguard bolt on and a Mucky Nutz long mudguard I'm gonna try to fit on the rear. Should be here tomorrow (bike washed with my new Worx Hydro Shot).

willeco · Oct 30, 2020

Oh, I forgot another thing I bought, not for on the bike, but close:.
I was tired of having my soaking wet shoes on the central heating (which still took 2 days to dry them), and bought this:

Stel zelf je eigen schoenendroger samen! - Drogeschoenen.nl

Works wonders: my wet Mavic (Gore) boots needed 2 cycles (about 1 hr) to completely dry.
I was a bit sceptic at first but it really works VERY good.
(It also has adapters that can be uses for drying gloves etc...)

First time if seen one of those ?

Hope Tech 3 E4 brakes and matching floating disc rotors just installed on my Black Beauty Levo SL. Excellent modulation and power compared to the stock Sram Guide REs.
