27000 km #pedelec upgrades:

- replaced seatpost #canecreek thudbuster (from 2018) due to worn bushings with an #airwings expleto travel
- replaced the stock handlebar stem with an adjustable higher #byschulz Stem Alpha Pro SDS
- all new brake pads, new front brake disk = its possible to completely block the wheels to the point where the rear wheel lifts from the ground again
- fixed the front light (contact spray)
- added clickfix handlebar bag/box mounting point

So far I really like the Airwings seatpost and the byschulz handlebar stem. Great comfort upgrade.

Todo:
- replace battery contact
- add voltage converter to 5V
- add thumb switch and 2nd front light adjusted for longer distance
- add USB outlet
- replace front disk brake hydraulic line with a longer one for more adjustment of the
- replace derailleur cable

@stereo4x4 don‘t throw the thudbuster away. There is a repairkit including tools from Canecreek on the market! Easy repair. Instruction video from canecreek available. Just google it. Sell the repaired TB, or use it!

@Jay23Jay thanks for the hint.

With thr gt3 st, the bushings wear out and move to the side/fall out. I noticed that and added bolts with self-locking nuts which worked nice for maybe 5000-10000 km. But now the bushings are worn so badly that its unusable (sideways movement). I had a cover on it the full time...

The rebuild kit is just a set of new bushings and screws with preapplied locktite for 40 bucks which I think is quite expensive for what I get - and it does not fix the issue that I need to be concerned about the bushings falling out at some point.

Im not sure if I will invest an afternoon turning new bushings on the lathe or will just buy the rebuild kit... I got another bike that can use the thudbuster so I will not dump it for sure.
