What did you buy your ebike this week?

Yes, I will fly the bike and send the batterie by some freighter still unknown 😬
There are sellers on ebay that ship it, so I think its possible.
Last time I did this I ordered a batterie before the trip and took the invoice and original box with me, so it was ok to send the batterie (that came in the bike) on the original box and with an invoice.
This time though, I could not buy the batterie for the cube 160 because neither cube nor the shop have answered me if it is the “horizontal or vertical” model that I should order.

The bike is on the other side of the sea…
 
VOLspeed V4 & BikeTrax
Not much space for all the wiring, battery and modules on a Gen2 but I shoehorned it all in.
I piggybacked the VOLspeed off the display and speed sensor as normal, then made up a lead to plug the BikeTrax into the front light output
 
Yup 100+ miles, but in actuality almost 200 miles. Yeah dunno how the cassette got so trashed.
 
how are you only doing 100 miles in 2 years?

Surely its 1000?

Swanky new cassette though nice one (y)
 
I get the impression a fair few folk on here are retired/semi retired with time on their hands to go riding. The kids with all the energy & stamina but none of the money are busy tailwhipping & backflipping in the woods on their normy Halfords bikes.

And then there's the likes of me, working full time & on the hook for childcare who has to squeeze in a ride where they can. And that's before you consider living in the UK where it pisses with rain 364 days of the year. I can easily see why some guys don't rack up the miles llike others.

Anyway, I bought a tire. No pics, you all know what a tire looks like. 😊

Same for me. My career does not give me the type of work-life balance I wish I had and that's part of the reason I got an ebike. An ebike allows me to cover more distance in the short time I do get to ride. So in 2 years of ownership I've only done close to 200 miles of riding and my cassette is pretty beat up like I put on 1000 miles instead. LOL maybe I need to work on shifting gears better.
 
Saddle, bars, stem, grips and pedals for the new Canyon Spectral:ON CFR I'm about to pull the trigger on once Canyon makes them available in the US. Can't understand why they don't sale as many new model options in the US as the rest of the world?
 
YT also has a mere fraction of the number of available bike models Canyon does.
Ultimately direct sales Euro brands selling you guys bikes = less profit
 
To go with the new wheels (got to go stupid XD cassettes now :( ) View attachment 84892
A chain to match and some cheapy brakes for No2's HT build.

A word of warning, getting cheap parts from zee Germans does not equate to a bargain! Once Parcel Force have added handling fee, VAT, Parcel Force Fee its bloody expensive.
 
Got another 700wh spare battery and a XLC E-Bike Rucksack BA-S94. The rucksack I think is well over priced for what it is. The Gen 3 battery is a very tight fit even without the bash guard.

Got these to fit my Sram Eagle X01 rear mech, I sadly wasn’t impressed with the Uberbike jockey wheels as they kept skipping off the bottom wheel…….these appear to be of good quality and the 14t wheel is rotation specific ! Never seen that before on a jockey wheel.

New Motor
New TCU
New HMI
New Power cable
New Cassette
New Chain
New Chainring
New Jockey wheels

My garage acquired:

I work six days a week, have three kids, two do jiu jitsu three times a week, son races motocross competitively and rides a few times a week.

I still manage to get out on my bike a few times a week. Early morning rides and night rides late in the evening are awesome….lol

it almost feels weird when I have “free time”…..lol
 
A 35mm 10 degree rise funn stem for my s5 Levo. The reach was a tad too long with the stock stem but so far this feels much better.

Keep an eye on that. I put a Funn on mine & find the bolts work loose regularly.
