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...
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!).
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.
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...
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.
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...
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.
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.
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...
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?
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.
