Boast about your latest purchases here...

Recently upgraded from a cheapy hardtail to the Spark 970  have done a few upgrades since receiving it.
Silverton 2.0 wheels (Birthday gift)
Full GX conversion as well.
 

I think faster rolling tyres and a Syncros Fraser IC SL XC 740mm carbon bar are next.

Time for some TLC for the Blue Beast.

 

 

EDIT ... and so we learn .... 116 is too short for a 29" .... NO stock of the 126.  Got the last KMC from Evobikes, 136. (11 speed, ebike).  These stock issues are getting old now ....

 

With 4 off 11 speed bikes at home I will have use for this Shimano chain.

buy 12 speed chains? or arent they good for ebikes? they are mostly 126+ and they work better on 11spd groupos than 11 spd chains in my opinion. well i run 12spd chains on all our 11 speed stuff. You dont have that 'nanometric' sweetspot that 11spd combos tend to have.

Did not ask if they had 12 speed in stock ....

 

 

Nice Friday topic .... is there any difference, other than the packaging, between good chains and ebike chains ....

Congratulations man, it is an awesome bike, I miss my one 😪 just one thing, if/when you can, a fork upgrade, to something like a Pike, Fox 34 or something along those lines, transforms it from a good bike to an absolutely AMAZING bike
