It would be nice to know how the Hunt wheels hold up. I’d quite like some lighter ones next time. I was thinking about the Hope Fortus 30 ebike ones (for the stronger internals) but they weigh about 2.6kg.

Having said that. My current Sun Ringle Duroc 30 wheelset only comes in at just under 2kg so maybe lighter wheels on a full fat aren’t necessary.

You’re look nice though.

2kg for full suspension EMTB wheels is fine, in my opinion. Mine weighed over 3kg, so I tried this set. Time and mileage will tell if it's a good buy

Yeah, I hadn’t realised they didn’t weigh a ton until after I posted. I’ll keep them for now as they seem to be able to take a beating (just like the Sun Singletracks that are still running straight(ish) on my jump bike.
 
Bought some new, shorter 155mm cranks to replace the stock 165mm cranks... so far so good with less pedal strikes!

I have 2 sets of Hunt wheels (one the E-Enduros and one the E-All mountain) and had problems with both. On the E-Enduro wheels I had a broken axle (which they sent me another one, but the wheel had less that 150 miles and was not abused) and the All-Mountains have now broken a spoke on 3 different occasions requiring relacing. They also required truing quite a bit.

My current bike came with the cheap DT Swiss wheelset (H1900) and they have received much more abuse. They have been not needed truing at all and have been flawless. Really surprised me.

The only good thing about Hunts, is there aftercare. And by god, you need it. Look at my wheel building page in the link below at how many I do.

I’m sure I read somewhere that Hunt didn’t recommend their wheels for e-bikes as they couldn’t guarantee the hub for e-bikes. (This may have been a specific hub, or I may have invented it in my head).

Meanwhile my standard Sun Ringlé Duroc wheels are still going strong after months of abuse.
 
Just ordered a set of brake pads to keep on hand. Had some down time last week for a freehub replacement, trying to avoid a second bout of withdrawals.
 
I bought a pair of SRAM DB8s from Banana Industries for £45. I just broke a piston while servicing my Code Rs and when I realised a replacement piston was £25 I figured the DB8s were a no-brainer. I’ve used them before and more than happy with their power and heat management.

Friend had a set of Hunt wheels on his Orbea rise . And he spent a small fortune getting spokes replaced on a regular basis.
 
New saddle,cheap Rockbros one . Actually very comfortable.

Both of the wheelsets I've got from them are their ebike specific wheels. The E_Enduro they are discontinuing and the E_All Mountain is what they recommend now. It looks like the new Enduro V3 are ebike rated also.

Want to see how they compare to the enduro-casing Kryptotals I’m running now.

My new bike came with Conti Enduro casing tires and I was excited to try them out. I really liked the grip and they rolled much faster then the normal Maxxis I run but the casing was just too thin. I had to run 35psi to keep them from rolling. I just about went otb figuring that out. I switched to Maxxis DH casing because that's what I had. I would love to try Conti DH casing.
 
A new rear under saddle light (Rock bros, I already have one and it's good), a pair of riding glasses (unbranded, possibly shite) and a pair of winter gloves. (Poc, probably maybe or possibly not).

£16 for the three from AliExpress Inc delivery.
 
Had to buy a chain. 2 days down time. More repairs in 6 mos than in a couple years on my muscle bikes. I know eBikes need more maintenance but I am really hoping as I get some of the bugs worked out there will be less than this.
 
Rushed off to the LBS in my lunch break. Got what I need for bleeding the brakes tonight. Not the cheapest solution (buing online would have saved me quite a bit) but I need it TODAY! 🙂

It was my 60th birthday on Monday and my Daughter bought me these handlebars, she also thought it funny to have these delivered today making me think she’d not bought me anything 🤣 I know these are like Marmite to most people but I absolutely love these handlebars and the colour shift is amazing in the sunlight, the 35mm rise will be more comfortable for my wrists I think, I bought the Kiox adapter a few weeks ago and the kit only just arrived the other day from Portugal

Have Hunt eMTB specific E_ALL wheels on wife and my Rails. Strong with HD rims and 32 Pillar 2018 triple butted spokes F and R, reasonable weight, sensible price when I bought them on sale. Had mine for 1-1/2 years with no issues, and wife 1/2 year also no issues.

That sucks. I'll pick you up some grips to go with those bars.

I don’t want to throw such a kind thing back at you pal but I already have RevGrips to take off of my old bars and fit on the new bars, I’m thinking that I might have to get some new end caps for the RevGrips but hey ho, I don’t want to ruin the look of the new bars 😁
