    Signa Sports with Liquidity issues .... (CRC/Wiggle/Bikester/Probike/Nukeproof/Vitus)

    I watched a YouTube vid this morning from a guy running a bike shop in Florida. He explains what's going on.... not just with Wiggle/CRC but the whole industry and allied industries, like clothing. Well worth a watch. YouTube: The Bicycle Industry is in Big trouble! (Found on his ytube Chanel)...

    Levo Gen 3 Do I need to upgrade my suspension or something else?

    As Dax says above, don't trust the Trailhead app for setting pressures/sag. On my Silver TK's the app recommended 135psi (81kg/180lb rider) ..and needless to say the forks hardly moved at all. A thin cable tie can be used as an impromptu indicator on a stanchion and either remove after setting...

    Levo Gen 3 Do I need to upgrade my suspension or something else?

    I find the rear Select R unusable with a sag less than 33%, too stiff..like even at 30%. I'm 81kg (about 180lb) so heavier than yourself and it just doesn't want to move. The front forks..are they silver tk's?....if so then the dials on top of the right leg of the fork is just basically On or...

    Hope Pro 5 hubs.

    I have the Hope Fortus 30 wheelset on my Moterra, with the ebike specific 54t rear hub. They're a little on the heavy side with the 29" x 30int rear coming in a 1.36kg but I did opt for the steel HG drive (so I can update to Shimano Linkglide at some point) and the front at 1.18kg. Both wheels...

    Shimano EP8 Crank Arm Safety Plates?

    I've just replaced the centre bolt (crank preload bolt) after losing one, and whilst at it removed both crank arm to check and clean the splines. All seems fine. My crank arms did not have the safety plates installed (the little plates that pick up on the crank arm pinch bolts and the hole in...

    What did you buy your ebike this week?

    Just ordered a RS Yari RC to replace my 35 silver TK, my thoughts being I can easily upgrade the Yari if I need more.

    EP8 Crank Fixing Bolts (preload bolt/screw/ cap)

    Had a problem today, heard what I thought was a pedal creaking.....but turned out the drive side crank arm had come loose and on a closer look spat out the central fixing bolt / cap and the crank arm was loose. My crank arms are FSA CK 752's and the plastic bolt (as on the non drive side) is...

    Winstanleys have Rockshox Yari RC 29 on offer (21 model) for £360 for those who want an affordable fork with upgradeability in the future to ultimate spec. Only 4 left as I ordered mine yesterday. Cheaper than used on a well known auction site!

    Ay Up guys from Ripley/Alfreton area

    New member here, thought I'd join after browsing the forums for the last 6 months. I'm riding a Cannondale Moterra Neo 4 more on the adventure/explore side than MTB parks or thrashing downhill although I often end up on the same trails here in Derbyshire (but I'm not as fast, but still love...
