What did you buy your ebike this week?

[p3eps]

Preparing for winter, even though it’s only the middle of August!

5:10 Trailcross GTX shoes, and Sealskinz heated gloves. Both pretty fugly, but should keep my extremities dry and warm on cold wet days.

 

[Doomanic]

I bought a set of Trailcross GTX as well but they are too narrow. I went half a size up too. Ho hum, back they go for an exchange.

I bought half a size up and a full size up.
I’ve been wearing them round the house tonight - and have decided the full size up are the ones I need.

These are my 3rd pair of 5:10’s so far - and I think I’ve got them all in a full size bigger than my regular shoes.

It’s been a busy week….I need to stop reading this forum.

A pair of 5:10 GTX for Winter…..(vs non-GTX). I am a 9.5-10 so bought 10.5 and they are fine with thick socks. £105 with discount code - thanks.

….and these after reading the carbon bar thread.

…oh and Wiggle emailed me to say the XTR long cage rear derailleur was back in stock.

Mmmm……heated gloves

After another muddy ride in the Chilterns, and being frustrated with myself for having zero memory when it comes to map reading (literally checking my pocketed iphone mapping app every 5-10 minutes), I've ordered a bolt-on Mudhugger EVO front fender thing and a Quadlock bar mount for my phone.

Yes, I'll need to remove the fender each time I put it in the car, but a small price to pay for having a mouthful of mud and grit.

And yes, I may well bugger the camera on my iPhone 12 Pro Max...but hopefully not.

I've bought mine a BMW 5 series Touring (Estate) car to get it to the trails and back in speed and comfort. Nothing is too much for my Orbea Wild FS H20. I also recently replaced the Purion with a Kiox.

Mine's getting one too! It is getting cold and wet on the back of my 5 saloon!

What’s the chain whip for, exactly?

Removing the cassette, you need a lock ring tool also, but Ribble have sold out.

Spare SRAM NX cassette just ordered, trying to find an NX 12 speed chain to go with it but not even bikester or Mantel in Europe have them.

That's huge, you won't be able to see where you are going!

If you watch my riding you'd realise that would probably be for the best.

Bought this about a month ago - and it arrived on Friday. Kids Ride Shotgun - Pro version.

Been for a ride round the block, and he seems to like it. Hopefully it’ll encourage my 6 year old daughter to cycle more with us!

I wish those things had existed when my daughter was a toddler.

I wish those things had existed when my daughter was a toddler.

Quite a clever piece of kit. I had to swap a 10mm spacer on my headset with their one - and apart from that, it can be put on / off the bike in about a minute.

Perfect timing of the ‘Pro’ version which is suitable for eMTB… as it just got released last month, and my boy was just 2 a couple of weeks ago.
Next task is pinning him down long enough to get his helmet fitted correctly ??
