    An Open Letter to all Mountain Bikers....

    problem is we have a damp country. if we waited for dry trails there are years when we wouldn't ride and others we'd get 30 days.

    How wide are your bars?

    172cm, 780mm. if you've ridden them for a month and they're not right for you it's time to cut 10mm off each end.

    New Sworks Levo. Chain already off... how to fix?

    Ask the shop to show you the chain tool and how to use it. (You just spent £xxxxx on a bike!) Yes I think derestriction will invalidate your warranty is Spesh found out. But also it means you're no longer riding a "bicycle" in the legal sense, it becomes an uninsured motorcycle legally. So if...

    New Sworks Levo. Chain already off... how to fix?

    I guess he means this LEVOCIRAPTOR - speed de-restrictor. it's probably illegal where you live - I wouldn't do it. (I also don't see the need).

    New Sworks Levo. Chain already off... how to fix?

    look under the fork steerer, above the fork crown. you'll see a hex bolt. use the tool to undo that, there should be chain breaker and spare link. like this -> SWAT™ Conceal Carry MTB Tool | Specialized.com

    New Sworks Levo. Chain already off... how to fix?

    if there's a SWAT tool in the fork steerer (my LEVO did) it'll have a chain tool and a spare link you can use to fix the chain. chain breaks happen (tho not usually brand new!), suggest teaching yourself how to fix them trailside. it's probably number 2 issue on the trail after punctures. be...

    Bent my derailleur hanger ... 2019 Turbo Levo FSR :(

    update as promised - the PILO hanger arrived the day after being ordered, fitted in moments and the bike now shifts perfectly.

    Anyone regretted switching to an emtb?

    I've not "switched" in either direction, though I currently ride my lung bike more than my e. That may change again. Who knows. No regrets about getting it at all - I was loosing my mojo for riding a bit and my e was part of my path back.

    when the last time you rode your non emtb?

    Saturday, falling back in love with the lung powered world. Yeah they seem so light! Got a year old Levo - in 2 minds about keeping it. (But probably will).

    Levo SL Gen 1 2021 Levo SL Comp Carbon Green

    I like the colour and the visible weave at showroom conditions but it wouldn't look like that for long in my hands on the trail. Suggest the buyer tapes it up. oh and the shop's sticker would have to come off ... hardly subtle is it?

    Bent my derailleur hanger ... 2019 Turbo Levo FSR :(

    Response from gearmechhanger.com is that theirs are CNC'd whereas the OEM parts are cast (cheaper but softer). CNC are stiffer for better shifting as they don't flex but still designed to break when subject to forces outside the acceptable tolerance range. There you go - you pays your money and...

    Bent my derailleur hanger ... 2019 Turbo Levo FSR :(

    (gotta love the world of mech hangers, gazillions of small variations on what's basically a metal tab with a couple of threaded holes).

    Bent my derailleur hanger ... 2019 Turbo Levo FSR :(

    yeah -> Specialized Sandwich Hanger £11.00 I'll drop PILO a mail. (Hangers are meant to not be solid).

    What they don't tell you!!!! What you need to know!!!!

    8. don't sell your lung-bike until you are _sure_ you don't want it any more. I nearly did and I would have regretted it.

    What’s good in MTB shoes that you don’t need to break the bank for..

    I've got some of the Bontrager shoes, mainly because that's what my LBS stocks and they offer a 30 day return with no quibble option. They work fine. I wear SealSkinz socks in the winter, I don't rely on the shoes for waterproofing.
