Yeah, I ride 6am rides there - still dark. A bit creepy when it comes to Cinderella in the dark, but my light is pretty good. I have some bad thoughts still because I came face to face with a Mountain Lion in Pleasanton Ridge a few years ago and it still haunts me. I was maybe 10 yards away in...
Trying a new setup - exploded my Maxxis Rekon Rear the other day on my way to the trail head passing some construction area. Nail punctured and Orange Seal could not quite seal the hole...so had to use some jerky...that work 75% so I just turned and went home. Was going to slap a boot on and...
Clearly UK seems to have all the e-Bikes in the world. Hopefully more folks in our areas begin to jump on the forum...seems lonely out here in Northern Cali too and I would have expected that California would have a ton.
Went with 160mm Lyrik RC2 and CC DBcoil CS...havent received the rear yet, so no review on it. ETA is end of November according to CC.
Love the Lyrik, especially this RC2 version.
Anyone riding this ride have a 2019 Levo? I need a bike to compare to mine....Im worried now that I have one of the bad batch loud ones. It didn't really bug me until the other day...I don't ever remember my 2018 Levo sounding like this.
...trying some new stuff. Been road riding more the past few years, so been kit'd out with Rapha Gear. Started to try some new stuff for MTB and decided on some things from:
- Club Ride (2 pairs (Fat Jack and Revolution) pants for the winter, 2 jersey shirts...look more like button up shirts...
Whats up crew...Im in the East Bay (Oakland area). I don't have social media, so no facebook for me. What time and day are ya'll riding? Id join if Im free...Saratoga Gap sounds fun. I got lost their once and ended up in the middle of nowhere...had to climb my way out and was so beat, I had to...
I have about 55 miles and roughly 19000 ft of climbing on this 2019 of mine. No issues other than possiblye debris collection issue you read about. I havent seen mine build up since Im on some trails without much leaves...but have seen pine needs and some leaves collect.
Love it till something...
Depends how you ride...for the majority, its totally fine Im sure (even if you bomb down). I think that new Sektor on there was ok...not the greatest dampening, but compared to technology years ago, it would be equivelant to a top class fork way back when. So...
All preference...for me...needed...
I was told for the US (Im in California) that the first batch would be late November. I went to my LBS and reserved one (that's what Specialized told me to do if I wanted it for sure) - hopefully I get in on that first batch. They had to guesstimate the price - so I just have to pay difference...
