What did you buy your ebike this week?

[Nicho]

I hot a timber bell for xmas it needs to be quite bumpy before you hear it . Dogs no problem but folk with headphones ,well that's another story.

I find the best sound from the Timber bell can be achieved by waggling your handlebars a few times.

 

[Vision_Tim]

My Timber is super sensitive, it does the trick though as long as peeps aren't wearing headphones while they are out walking on the mountain bike trail enjoying nature.

Might be the angle of the Dangle.

i bought new crank arms, derailleur, hanger, chain, bosch lockring

I want to give some props to DFYRS.

I ordered their new shorts in brown; some gloves; plus a few jerseys from their new Speedworks collection. This earned me a free pair of random design socks. When the order arrives, I notice the free socks are brown like the shorts and part of the same Speedworks collection. I was impressed the socks went with the other gear I purchased, even though they had absolutely zero obligation to do so. Plus they were part of their brand new Speedworks collection and not some older collection.

I’m aware DFYRS is a two-person organization. I felt this small-company reality was evident in the attention to detail, and “love” put into fulfilling my order. Worth considering them next time you’re shopping for gear.

I have a jingle-bell (red btw) on my bar. It rotates easily. I like my bear bell also.

I have a bell, does nothing for kangas.... they still do their best to hospitalise me.... and most time I don't see them until they are trying to take me out..... grrrr

 

[Gila Man]

A new cage for the derailleur. The original got bent and I probably made it worse trying to bend it back into its original shape (or what I thought it’s original shape was). The shifting in the higher gears wasn’t working properly. All good now.

I use Timber all the time and to increase sensitivity I tilting it a tiny bit up then it gets even more sensitive and wake up people with their nose in their phone.

Damn you, just cost me over £100! I did get a boat load of socks thrown in though

Expanding my choice of full face helmets, with a Leatt Gravity 5.0 joining my collection, with 100% Armega Goggles

 

[Maxi]

A shiney Hope Gravity stem 35x50 to replace the stock 35x35. Noticed a difference today on some steep climbs as the front definitely lifted less (which is what I want).

 

[DirkWisely]

Bought some Praxis 150mm cranks for my Levo. Love them so much. I was getting a lot of pedal strikes with the 160mm the bike comes with, and my last ride I got none. I also feel like the higher cadence/shorter rotations make power delivery a bit punchier in tight bursts.

I only wish I could get 150mm carbon cranks. Its crazy how much heavier 150mm aluminum is vs 160mm carbon.

I know you think you could get a choice

 

[emonty]

Bought an MTB for my EMTB

 

[skizzian]

anybody tried any of the new new Schwalbe Radials?
Tacky Chan (new tread pattern - replaces Big Betty)
Eddy Current
Romy (new tyre - replaces Hans Dampf - looks like a downsized Shredda rear)
I'm contemplating either the Romy or the Tacky Chan Gravity Radial Pro on the back... 29 x 2.5" (for UK 'Summer')

 

[Vallydtor]

I washed my bike lol.

Miami you having a laugh . We would need a before and after pic to confirm.

 

[skizzian]

Tacky Chan Gravity Radial Pro for on the back... 29 x 2.5" - excited to try it out

cheap expanding bearing extractor set
2x Enduro Double Raw Max 10177 10x17x6/7
cheap 5-25Nm torque wrench
for when I get around to changing out the suspension bearings on me Rise

12 speed Deore chain/ cassette and the G2 Race Face Chester Pedals in small for the missus

Out of curiosity, what would you run in winter? I’m trying to decide if a Tacky Chan Radial (F) / Romy Radial (R) combo could work all year round.

I run a magic mary front and tacky chan rear all year round. I prefer a aggesai and dhr on hard pack or dry conditions. But went its rains they are worlds apart.

 

[crisillo]

- a fox 38 Performance that will likely be tuned after some use (the Zeb+Lift will have some competition)
- a H&R coil for the Dhx2… looks fancy and saves a bit of weight

Thanks. Assegai and DHR is what I have now, but the DHR needs to be replaced. I’ve only ever had Maxxis tyres so I’m quite keen to try a different brand next time.

Bought new Race Face Atlas pedals and Ergo GE1 Evo Factory slim grips this week. Tyres, bike stand and torque wrench are next.

I run Shredda Rear out back and Magic Mary out front - Radial
Yeah that could be a good combo - the Romy looks a bit like a mini Shredda with the strong lateral lugs

Thanks! It's very difficult to decide given the amount of choice available.

This calculator says Magic Mary Gravity PRO Radial/Eddy Current Gravity PRO Radial

Anyways, this probably isn't the correct thread to discuss it

the Eddy is pretty chunky a LOT of grip - I've never ridden one though
seems like the calculator is taking into account a heavy full power bike?
I found the Mary a bit wishy washy initially, but then I started really enjoying it
I might try it on the front with the Tacky on the back when the 2.6 Albert starts losing grip
I'm hoping the Tacky will be like a grippier Minion DHR without the transition between flat and corners

Yeah it’s a Canyon Strive:ON with the Bosch CX Gen 4 motor.

I'm in Scotland yes, but Peaty's is a UK company so easy to order online or pick up in store from bike shops (my local only sells Muc-Off though, which I don't like).
