    Levo Gen 2 Rockshox Deluxe Select +

    it's a great point, but overly complex. Why bring rankin (what or whoever that is) into it? :rolleyes: ? . Also, at what temperature is P1? So 220psi (at what temp?) will drop 28psi by 72F? Or is 72F what the 220psi started at and it loses 28psi by 5F?

    Sell quickly and move on, or stick with it?

    My initial plan was to ride as much as I could in the 2 year warranty period. I was aiming for 5,000km - that took a hit when we got a dog. I had to commit to walking him as a pup. Now I ride with him, but only 9km per ride. I think 5,000km is a pretty good run on a bike in general. The plan was...

    Best EMTB tires?!?!?!

    I also use this combo through the dry months. It's predominantly loose over hard and hard here. The dhf on the rear is a surprisingly good climber and despite people saying it's a slow roller, I think it rolls pretty good. I have to commit to pushing the bike down into corners though - another...

    They're universal I think (suture cutters). The nurse gave me one after putting the stitches in, when I told her I'd take them out myself (been doing it for a while). She also gave me two haemostats and a pair of scissors, new stainless steel! The health system here has decided that autoclaving...

    scissors from a swiss army knife. Stitches are soft and loose and cut easy. Really though, if you're asking these things, please don't do it. You're scaring me - how do you guys get through life?

    Levo Gen 2 Does the stock Rockshox Deluxe just completely suck?

    For pedal bob? Do you have one of the levers for pedal bob? If you don't I can imagine that - I use mine on quite a few steep climbs and like it.

    Levo Gen 2 Does the stock Rockshox Deluxe just completely suck?

    I have the exact specs on mine, but can't find where I got them. I had to enter the serial # for my shock - ahh, found it. Mine is a deluxe select+. If you look just below SPECIFICATIONS there is a place to enter serial #. If you have a different model, you should be able to find your own way...

    Derailleur Problem , I am an idiot with em -

    Trouble in the lowest gear does not point to spacers etc. This is probably easier to check with the bike upside down. 2 limit screws; one is for the lowest gear, one is for the highest. While in lowest gear jockey wheel needs to be lined up with the lowest gear (vertically in line) - that's what...

    Help, Bricked Bike

    Yes, it's a bummer that we can't download the updates as a file, then install via usb cable. OTA is the biggest potential danger when updating anything.

    Bugger. I did mine like that - because it was my knee, I had to wait quite a while. Have to be extra careful not to pull stitches out too :(. If you're a pussy like me I recommend taking your own stitches out. Soak your knee in a hot bath; just before you get out, remove the stitches, you...

    New bike for people who complain about the assist speed limits for commuting.

    Why the dual sport tyres - that model pirelli is truly terrible on road and off road. I used to slide through corners all the time with them :rolleyes:. If you're 80km/h and under it's hard to beat standard trials tyres for dual sport:

    Buckled discs.

    and a good idea, but the hub is pretty tough wherever it is. With the wheel out of the bike (either end) the disc and caliper are exposed and not that robust when separated. Both are reasonably protected with the wheels in place.

    Buckled discs.

    I imagine he is saying how he believes it is - throwing money at stuff isn't always the answer. I kind of find it refreshing :); but I'm guessing of course. I started riding a huge descent (have to climb it first). Brakes would start screaming half way down. I've still got resin pads. It has...

    What is your reply to people commenting about you riding an assisted bike?

    I understand fully why cyclists take up one lane of the road - it forces drivers to overtake them properly and safely. I used to ride on the road. The big huge problem is that the majority of people driving on the road don't give much thought to driving. I see it all the time. I follow some...

    Buckled discs.

    I'm not sure I understand what you're explaining here. I don't think wheel alignment, spokes etc will effect your disc alignment. Spoke tensions effect the rim alignment, not the hub. It is possible that the pads have closed in a bit while the wheel is out - lever gets bumped and there is no...

    Old blokes who should know better.....

    yeah, that pine plantation looks like it isn't dry that often :); I'd be a sunshine biker there :rolleyes: (sunshine biker - one who rides when it's sunny)
