New tires for the winter: Vittoria Mota
Forgot to say, after a recent face plant* while hopping around I decided to buy a full face. So I bought a white Dainese Linea 01, visor is as ugly as f**k but helmet is very light and comfortable with superb ventilation.
* luckily didn't fracture my chin and I think my right hand perhaps has a broken small bone but medical wife says nothing can be done about it so not stopping riding.

Lucky you! Tried to buy one here in New Zealand and got told to get in line. No 12 Speed shimano rear mechs in the country till march 2023!!I bought a new XT rear mech to replace the one that I ripped in half while riding yesterday (a fallen tree branch kicked up and jammed in the cage).
If our dollar hadn't fallen away to nothing I'd look at importing one
Bought this chain as I had a bit of slipping on trail last week. I realised the bike wasn't shifting to the granny gear & tuned the barrel adjuster to correct it & it's working fine now, so on to the chain checker & it's still under 0.5 after 1300 miles. That is remarkable resillience out of the original factory fitted chain.
I've tried to hold off buying anything new for a while, with the theory of adapting to what I have.
That's gone out the window lately with a new saddle and various bits. Saw this the other week and had to give it a go. After having a saddle which automatically changes angles on the Kenevo for years, this looked great and also means you can tilt it forwards for climbing rather than wedging the point up your arse.
The Switchgrade !
Not sure when it's going to go on the bike, at the moment I'm just stroking it and playing with the mechanism .. it's lovely ! Stunningly made, almost too nice for an idiot like me to abuse ...

Preparing for that first chain swap
I feel some winter crash testing coming on ...
New pizza brand?
Ok, every credit, you're progressing...
In this case you're getting confused between what you read/spell and what you hear ..
Moustache - A hairy thing some men (and some ladies) grow over their top lip.
I think this time you're trying to say Moosetach, which is more related to choice and technique ......

I replaced the stock handlebars on my 2022 Levo Comp Alloy with Renthal fat bar carbon 40MM rise.

I just got an SKS Mudrocker rear mudguard to help keep the winter crap off me and my bike. I got it after a recommendation on here and as a Mudhugger, RRP and Zefal mudguard user can say that the thought that has gone into this thing is next level. It comes with extensions to protect the linkages and rear of the motor (which I've used) and to lengthen and broaden it at the rear (which I haven't bothered with for now at least). The whole thing attached with Velcro straps and is rock solid but really quick to remove for summer or if you want to make your bike look less ugly!
I also got a Tannus tubeless insert to go in my rear Conti Kryptotal, it was a bit of a fight to fit but not too bad.

New valves (Peaty's - Matte Mango), sealant (Peaty's) and rear tyre (Kryptotal Enduro - Soft).
Hope you like the Kryptotal, I've been quite pleased with mine so far (ridden one day off piste at Glentress and one day local Helensburgh swamps)! Definitely way better than the High Roller that came on my bike.

Well, I finally had to upgrade and spring for a better saddle. Kinda ticks be off as I purposely bought a Trek Powerfly "Equipped" version which supposedly had upgraded components yet came with a cheapo $52 saddle which was driving me crazy with it's creeking sounds no matter how tight the screws were.
Hopefully this Ergon Prime Core model, made in Germany instead of China, will give me more comfort and a quieter ride.

Some like this saddle, some don't. I do.

It's certainly grippier than the bald minion it replaced.
Best saddle I have ever tried - Have used it for 3 years - including 2 times at Trans Alps with 6-7 hours in the saddle every day
I don't see an issue with that as long as they are not sold as ENVE wheels. If you can't be good, you can always look good! Besides, my color scheme matches my Feng Shui
. I had the motor replaced this week. Feels and sounds like the original one but lacks the 2mm play in the BB.Thanks! I ride better when I ride with @Crash Logan as I know she has my back. She thinks I have a death wish but keeps asking me to update my Will
. When I picked up my KSL after getting the motor replaced, it took the guys 10 minutes to find it (big store and different staff on the weekend at the LBS)!

Heard about this $9 Bosch battery connection cover when I was watching a Youtube ebike review. I've always said Trek should make a dummy battery cover to keep the battery compartment dry when trailering without a battery.
This plastic cover looks to be the next best thing. I don't trailer with the battery in place for fear of it being stolen or dropping out on the road. Also no battery makes my 58 lb bike lighter when picking it up to place in the rack.
Amazon had only 1 left in stock, but I'm sure they will get more stock in.
Says it fits most any Bosch battery connection as they are (mostly) all the same.
Ebay shows a few listings for these covers too.
