    Rise with a 150mm Manitou Mezzer

    Does anyone know what caliper adapter I'd need to run a 203mm rotor? I see the mezzer is set up to take a 180mm rotor but I want to reuse my icetech 203mm Cheers

    Budget 29" front wheel

    I'm considering converting to a mullet set up so I'm after a 29" boost front wheel, ideally with centre lock. Anyone upgraded their wheels and got a front going spare?

    Any experienced spray painters?

    Unless that "booth" has extraction you're going to get horrendous over spray. You maybe better off in a clean, well ventilated area, where you cam move around the parts.

    Lots of Rough miles and Hands "aching"

    Yes, but it's important to understand what the change is doing. "Try higher rise bars with more sweep" While more sweep could help wouldn't it be better advice to ask him to measure his wrist angle first. The current sweep of his bars maybe correct and it maybe a rise is all he needs, which...

    Lots of Rough miles and Hands "aching"

    The honest answer is trial and error, as no formula will work for everyone. The main take away is everyone's anatomy is different, and not to fall into the trap of thinking MTB=wide bars. Somehow 800mm bars have become the norm like 7° back sweep bars have, but in reality they only suit a small...

    Lots of Rough miles and Hands "aching"

    Numb hands usually occur from an impacted wrist irritating the median nerve, there are many causes for this, from handlebar height, width, rise, reach, rotation, sweep, cockpit position, saddle position, vibration, etc. Though you say you are not getting numbness and you have not complained of...

    When you say your hands are aching where exactly do you mean?

    Kiox 300

    If it's only shutting off when turning the bars, thus putting strain on the cable my first thought would be either a damaged cable (sometimes the damage can't be seen externally) or the connection port into the kiox.

    Bosch battery testing

    I'm surprised it's so little considering the mileage drop you describe. Maybe other factors involved, winter riding, fitness, temperature, how accurate is the test 🤷‍♂️

    Bosch battery testing

    I'll be optimistic and say 99% 😆 Though I suspect it's probably around 60-70% 🤷‍♂️

    Cleaning brakes

    Rather than nail polish (which can contain other chemicals not intended for brake cleaning) get some pure acetone, it's cheap, will last for ages and is an excellent brake cleaner. Just be careful not to get it on painted surfaces!

    Handlebar recommendation, for LEVO Comp, just need a bit more back sweep

    I have the same bars in 16deg and rate them highly, great bars 👍

    Handlebar recommendation, for LEVO Comp, just need a bit more back sweep

    Sqlabs are your only option if you want 12deg back sweep, but they only come in 31.8, so you'd need a new stem or a spacer to use your current stem. I did find a 10deg sweep back bar but I can't remember what make it was off the top of my head, I'll have a proper look later.
