Got out yesterday for a short ride on the road with my son, between rains..(too muddy to go off-road) and was so desperate for some challenging exercise I rode the whole 10k ride on my...

    5-10's or Something different. For the impact friendly rider.

    I'm sure I'm not telling you anything you don't know, but 5/10s are still a great shoe! And look great IMHO.. My last pair lasted 10 years.. most of them downhilling.. Got a new pair a couple of years ago, wouldn't get cought without them. Grip the flats like glue! Tim

    Shorter Crank Arms on Levo / Kenevo?

    Hi kiwi! I too took your advice, and now am verry happy running my 155mm Miranda's. Thanks again! Not to hijack the thread or anything, but how do you get "two positions" out of your 180mm Lyric? Is it a different cartridge!? Thanks Tim

    Sram code r piston question

    I can't argue with you personal experience of course, glad you have had good use from them but from my experience... And I used to do a lot of downhilling, just about everyone I knew at the time, who had them, dumped them, for "saints". As they were problematic, not verry adjustable, and faded...

    Tyre pressure gauge

    You were referring to the D2 gauge!? I assume.. The problem with analog gauges is they are not linear, especially at the begining and end of the scale, they are most accurate in the middle of the scale. That's why the numbers on the dial are not evenly spaced, to try and correct for this. So...

    Hello from Arizona

    Welcome! To a fellow "Phoenixian" (I was born there, live overseas now..) And yes you will find a ton of info here! It's a great place to ask questions too! You said you like technical riding!? So your style is more Enduro!? Than cross country? If so.. the Levo is a verry capable bike, but you...

    Tyre pressure gauge

    Almost got the D2 like R120 said.. as I had been looking for an accurate low pressure gauge for plus size tires as I run 10-20psi.. verry hard to measure with an analoge gauge.. Finnally found this! ₪ 203.44 | Topeak TSUTG-03 Bicycle Digital SmartGauge Bike Electronic Tire Air Pressure Gauge...

    Sram code r piston question

    Or......just never touch SRAM brakes! Because their crap! (Everybody wait before you crucify me! I'm talking from experience) Their quality and materials, are pure crap. From experience. Bought the original "code" when they first came out.. never! Worked right, felt like crap, either too "harsh"...

    What did you do to your Levo/Kenevo today?

    Would love to hear how it feels with the "2.1 charger"... What you feel it improves.. and so on. As I have a 2018 kenevo expert.. with the Lyric.. and am verry happy with it, except that it is not plush at the begining of the stroke.. on the big hits! It's great! So was wondering if the new...
