This week was Fatbar Lites.

More than twice the rise, half the weight of the stock bars (not I care much on a Rail 😂) and £75

First test ride out this morning, much better on the posture 👌

Without the fold in the bar and the little hole under the grip to allow the cable to be hidden, what did you do to route the cable? I know it has to go outside the bar, but did you just ziptie it or use something else?

My stock ones were 15mm rise, and chose to get 40mm, so effectively an inch higher in old miney.

They are 760mm long as opposed to the 780mm of stock, but I'm not missing the cm either side.
I went for the fatbar V2 in black as I fancied the 40 mm rise 800mm wide. All out in the lite but at 50 gramms heavier that's not as heavy as my sandwich. Cheers £69 freepost as weel

Mulleted my Whyte e160, and shaved just under 900 grams off the rear end even with a burlier tyre. Just got to order the shape it link now.

Always used Mt500 Endura lycra shorts , had about 6 pairs over last 20 years. They still use shorts with that name but the ones available I have seen in shops are half the thickness and Chamois padding is the same pretty thin . I looked at the undershorts liner with same name but no mention of the padded arse bit. Shops I have tried have not been much help. I wonder how good the ones in pic are , the Chamois is not mentioned . Can't be bothered faffing about ordering stuff to send back . Thing is shops don't seem interested, I remember when I could go to a shop and order something now they don't offer that option.

I was after some 155mm cranks for the Ep8 to replace the 165mm cranks on the Moterra...then I found these for the princely sum of £44. Shimano 160mm em900 cranks for the EP8, that's approx a 75% discount on most UK prices. Not 155mm but hell they're £44 and should cut down the pedal strikes. From Bike parts.co.uk, link below.

Yes after 5 years I got Hope 155 cranks. Definitely not as much pedal strikes.

Basic Revelation fork on my Levo wasdue a service, so I fitted a Debonair airshaft, Charger damper and SKF low friction seals, Maxima Plush oil, and is now noticeably smoother

I just bought some Muc-off tubeless valves, plus other stuff in their 25% off sale. While I was paying, my Norton anti-virus package chipped in with a "Comeback10" code (it might be "Comeback 10) which was another 10% off.

Whyte E160 RSX fitted with original AXS now over 2.5 years old so I renewed the 2032 cell battery in the gear selector. I reckon 2+ years is about the right time to change any non rechargeable battery rather than wait for it to die out on the trail...especially in colder weather..........tcu/Purion/ AXS pods/wireless remotes.

Ding-Ding-Ding.
Some of us would appreciate more details.😘

I use a jingle-bell mounted on my bar. It’s always on…but after a few rides I don’t hear it. 🤷‍♂️
They must love you in July. Not sure on which one yet. I need two actually or faff about changing it from bike to bike
