    yeah, but are you sure your bars are straight?!!

    London calling with a few questions

    I'll differ from a couple of voices above - I still ride my lung powered HT and trail bike as well as my Levo. I didn't when I first got it nearly a year ago and I had new bike buzz but the pattern has settled back now. There's no getting away from the fact that my Levo weighs nearly 50 pounds...

    Sporadic Surrey rides

    Did a lung powered loop around Holmbury on Sunday (man it was sloooowwww) - looks an awful lot of new riders have been buying Levos with their furlough money. Good news for Toby in Merrow Dave in Leatherhead, and Freeborn, I guess! (and I was wishing for a deal on an SL. some chance!).

    Levo - charge port door pops open on BB hits.

    yeah, shame it's so ugly. But I tried the one that's a press fit without the straps, broke it within a couple of rides. I can't remember the brand, it was one of those small UK firms making custom mudguards etc. I've no beef, I gave it several good whacks well beyond it's design envelope I'm sure.

    Ebike age groups

    I'm 53, been riding Surrey Hills 20 years. Range to me means vertical not distance. My fitness is fine - did 880 metre ride on my bio bike this weekend. Enjoyed it. My Levo just means more fun in the time available, and more rides because I'm not ruined. Where's the fun in slogging up...

    Ergon SM E-Mountain Sport Men saddle

    I find Ergon saddles (I've used both the regular and the e bike one) uncomfortable. Have gone back to my old Charge Spoon. Also I don't see the need for the rear lip, I certainly don't feel the lack of it. If I'm climbing steep enough to need it I'm off the saddle weight forwards anyway. HTH.

    Getting a lot of Mission Control -> Strava uploads failing. You?

    Seems to fail over and over in the evening then work in the morning. I wonder if Strava are throttling. Anyone?

    Does Canyon ever run sales on their emtb?

    I rode my buddy's Spectral:ON before I bought my Levo Carbon Comp last summer. The main reasons I went for the Levo were pedal strikes on the Canyon (maybe just a setup issue, my buddy is lighter than me), quieter motor, screen-free set up and general over-all 'niceness'. Unquestionably the...

    Levo SL Gen 1 Lego SL range problem?

    that can't be right, ask the dealer to check.

    Things you wish you did with your new Levo (protection/maintenance, not actually ride it :-) )

    Invisiframe, and not washed the gloss carbon with a brush. I'm not really an Invisiframe kid of guy - a bike's a bike, ride it - but glossy carbon needs it.

    Where it all began for me..

    my OH does this when I'm driving. "watch out, van!". I see no van, I stop of course, to prevent accident. "what van?" "right there!". points to huge great impossible to miss truck I'd seen 30 seconds earlier.

    Lightning up Levo tyres. Eliminator 2.3?

    Currently running a 2.5 Minion DHF front and the stock 2.6 Butcher rear on my '19 Levo. I'm over tyred for these great conditions for where I ride (Surrey Hills) and what I do (singletrack, flow, I'm not into air or gnarr). Thinking of moving the Butcher to the front and putting something...

    Acceleration response

    thanks - just razzed up and down the road on 0% then 100%, can't say I notice a difference. I'll bump it up to 100% and try it on the trail.

    Acceleration response

    Except for a range mitherer on an XC epic - why wouldn't you have this set to full? Why would you want any delay between pushing pedal and getting power? Am I misunderstanding?

    Lockdown Positive Diversions (C19)

    I'm doing a bit of Zwift most mornings, it makes 30 minutes of trainer vaguely tolerable. It even has an "MTB" course on it now. I did ride (solo, from home) yesterday, first time out for a couple of weeks. I was cautious but still a bit conflicted. Moseyed about and found a new trail.
