Got a demo ride booked for this Thursday on a large comp carbon. Soooo excited. Don't wanna let my 18 levo comp carbon go though ? been a fault less 3 years of ownership.
Thats a lot of pressure. I’m at 20 rear 18 front. I am running cushcore. But even if I wasn’t I’d be at 22 rear 20 front
Fantastic looking bike Iain, I'm running a Canyon Spectral:ON 2019 - we'll need to get together soon.Picked mine up this afternoon. A few hours of tweaks and setup and ready to go tomorrow or Saturday hopefully ?

I agree with you about preferring Shimano brakes over the Guides. I’m only a few kilos lighter than you and am happy with SLX 7000 brakes and 180 rotors. You might consider the new 4-pot SLX 7100 series reviewed by enduro-mtb:I'm considering swapping the guide r brakes for a pair of m7000 slx, I prefer the maintance / bleeding and longevity of Shimano, question is their much power loss going from 4 pot callipers on the guide R vs the twin pots on the slx?
i'm 80kg and not a super rad rider so they shouldn't have a hard time.
Weird but mine comes off really easy after removing end cap. I wonder if I’ve got something missing from new.Thanks for the reply, yeah i got both end caps but the freehub will not come off with moderate force, around the freebhub looks like a captive ring with 4 post holes so maybe this need unscrewing first?
I went the way of the Zees, they are mega cheap for what they are.I'm considering swapping the guide r brakes for a pair of m7000 slx, I prefer the maintance / bleeding and longevity of Shimano, question is their much power loss going from 4 pot callipers on the guide R vs the twin pots on the slx?

Nice. In 35/80 I average 5wh per km.
Today I slowed downonly used 82wh for 37km/22 miles
I notice on a big hill here (steep where I have to keep the front weighted but only about 2 football fields long if I let the bike do the work it’ll burn 10 watt hours.
Great videos. Can you please tell me who makes those handguards you have fitted? Hopefully they're available in the UKCheck it later today as youtube process its quality. It was fillmed with 4k. You need to change the quality by yourself

Stupid question time. I'm waiting for my SL Comp Ally to arrive at my LBS. First new mountain bike for ages - I currently have a Yeti 575.
How do you get the wheels off the SL? Is it quick release, or a spanner job? I'll be taking the wheels off to put it in the boot of my car. I can't find any decent pics on the Spesh site of the left side of the bike. Thanks.
Has any one had any issues with the lever on the rear shock moving after using your water bottle? I'm finding that after i have had a drink the lever is being nudged over too lock out position , minor issue but bloody annoying tho.
Nice! Post up how you like it.Got the Casade rear link today, swapped it over, and will test tomorrow. So far so good.
I recorded the process so will pop it up after first ride.
It depends more on what gear you're in when putting on the power.Just picked up my demo levo sl ready for tomorrow, had a quick spin around the roads, it's so loud it's embarrassing. Not sure if its because it's a demo bike and been treated like shit or if that's normal. ??
And me. Bloody weird as never Know how I’ve done it.Somehow I knock mine from D to T almost every ride. Don’t even have a bottle to use
Same. Plus check your rebound settings. Mine always backs out to fully open a few times a ride.And me. Bloody weird as never Know how I’ve done it.
You also have to be careful not to switch your rebound setting accidentally when you open or close your shock. It's very easy to do with gloves!And me. Bloody weird as never Know how I’ve done it.
I'm in the Bay Area and thinking of trying Henry Coe. The length and vert of your ride seems about right for me. What specific trail(s) did you ride?Another day at Henry Coe State Park in Bay Area, California. It was a great run until I got spooked when I stumbled upon a fresh kill while climbing - around 19th mile marker. Good thing I had my timber bell on to warn animals of my presence. Warning graphic image!
