Rubber shims for fatbike ebikes

2/3/2018

1 Comment

 
A customer of ours recently started making rubber shims for our bike seats that raise the frame up off of the pegs. This is extra useful for fatbikes with tires that are 4.5 inches and larger, providing additional clearance underneath the storage compartment. They're available for purchase directly from the Dragonfly website.

One of the most common bikes we've run into for these is the Sondors Original and Sondors X bikes, both with 4.9 inch tires. Dragonfly makes these rubber shims in two different sizes, 10mm and 19mm. All of the pictures included are on the Sondors Original ebike, using the 10mm size shims.

This is very exciting for us that Dragonfly is making these shims available. We first ran into the problem in the summer of 2016 in Reno NV while dropping off bike seat orders to folks heading to Burning Man. I came up with a work-around solution using commonly available parts from a hardware store (separate blog post here on our website) that worked,  but was 100% DIY and not ideal. Now these shims manufactured specifically for use with Companion Bike Seats are readily available online!

Super cool ... thanks Simon!

How do you put on the bike pegs onto an bike? I think it would be very helpful to upload a video to your youtube channel!!
