    Important Golf Mk7 Towbar Electronics - ParkPilot and Indicator Beeping

    I recently had a Towbar fitted to my Golf MK7 at Indespension Bolton at a price of £450. This is to use with a Bike Rack. When I attatch a bike rack to it and use reverse, the ParkPilot thinks there is an obstacle near the car and the warning noise goes off constantly. Shouldn't the electronics...

    Levo Gen 2 Turbo Levo - Battery Failures

    I had a battery fail on my Turbo Levo Comp. After 200 charge cycles. The age of the bike is 3 years and 5 months. Battery drained VERY fast on its final ride. I knew there was something seriously wrong when it was at 50% charge at 5 miles. After that it was completely dead - It would not...

    Is it ok to hose wash an Ebike?.

    The tyres are the hardest part of the bike to clean. Takes twice as long as the rest of it put together. Definetely use highest pressure you can on them

    Levo Gen 2 Are Brose & Specialized Fixing Their Motor Problem ?

    One thing for sure the manual bike is a lot easier to ride than an eBike with a failed motor. The difference is massive

    Must be a good rider for it to last that long. Probably crashes and stuff like that damages them

    Levo Gen 2 Are Brose & Specialized Fixing Their Motor Problem ?

    7000+ miles and 3 failed motors. But then in the same time I've gone through multiple forks, shocks, full brake systems, full pivot bearing sets, rear wheels & dropper posts in the same time. All MTB componants are unreliable. Motors no better or no worse than everything else? I'm a really...

    Levo Gen 2 Levo Rattle

    I sorted that out on day 1, but I've had to deal with countless other causes of rattle ever since!

    Who's got the highest mile bike & motor?

    The forks developed CSU (Crown Steerer Unit) issues and the shocks were still working but started leaking oil and/or the stantions started going discoloured which meant they were on their way out and needed replacing. The CSU issues in particular are exceptionally common, regardless of how much...

    Who's got the highest mile bike & motor?

    I was wondering about this for a while. I bought the Levo Comp for £5k but noticed the S Works was over £13k. I was wondering if the S Works has the same reliability, and thought I'd be gutted if it was after paying that much!

    Levo Gen 2 Levo Rattle

    I doubt its the headset because I cleaned it when I replaced my Fork only less than 2 months ago. Crown Steerer issues.

    Levo Gen 2 Levo Rattle

    It sounds like the rattle is coming from the rear on mine. Is it possible that rear derailuers can rattle, even if torqued to the hanger correctly ? It's only a SRAM NX 11 SP on mine. If I do an Endo (Not that I can do one properly) the rear wheel comes slamming back down and I hear the rattle.

    Who's got the highest mile bike & motor?

    I've gone through 3 Motors but I've also gone through 2 Forks, 3 Rear Shocks, 3 Rear Wheels, 3 Full Brake Systems, 3 Dropper Posts. A Motor is another complicated and expensive componant to a bike just like a Fork, Rear Shock, Hydraulic brake system and Dropper Post and what all these also have...

    Levo Gen 2 Levo Rattle

    I had this on the first ride. Took the front wheel spacers off which solved this problem like you say. But that was back in May 2020, and have done over 150 rides since then. In the intermediate period I had a lot of problems of rattling due to the battery, and had to insert foam weather stripping

    Levo Gen 2 Levo Rattle

    It doesn't sound like a Headset noise and the cables seem alright with them all clamped down although I have had rattle in the past with the cables under the TCU when I had the levociraptor installed and all the additional associated cables that come with it. Yes I've definetely done the motor...

    Who's got the highest mile bike & motor?

    If I could pick one thing I want to see improve with mountain bikes in general I would say better reliability.
