    Levo Gen 2 2021 Levo Comp - 6 broken spokes in first month of ownership

    that's concerning! I can't imagine they all had high tensions - usually there is one or two per wheel.

    Levo Gen 2 2021 Levo Comp - 6 broken spokes in first month of ownership

    I would also guess that it is the same location that all the spokes have broken. Replace the spoke, tighten it up till the wheel is true again without looking at spoke tensions. That spoke is in the same location and at the same tension as it's predecessors, and so the problem continues. It's...

    eBike Insurance for Aussies

    The thing is that you won't know if you are insured when something happens - how often do insurance companies wiggle out of what seems like an obvious straightforward claim? One insurance scheme that is guaranteed, regardless of the circumstances, is to start an account and deposit $40 a month...

    Disc brakes bleeding

    Yes, I figured, but the zip tie over night or an hour or two prior makes it fool proof; it gets all the air to the top.

    Disc brakes bleeding

    Burp and top up. Bleeding is a pita. Burping and top up is awesome, easy and it works. Look from 5'20"

    How long before you change your bike?

    I normally wouldn't. My two mtb bikes that I was riding up to a year ago are both 2012. I think I will with the e bike though. I bought a merida e140 thinking it was more of a trail bike than the e160. I find now though that I'm starting to get more into black tracks, drops and jumps. I still...

    Speed sensor magnet on centre lock rotors

    Great idea lumpy. I've been researching how magnets lose their strength - apparently heat is a biggy. I was wondering this because shimano mount their magnets in a plastic housing on the rotor. I will see if I have enough clearance from the caliper to mount mine on some plastic (as an...

    Shimano Steps E8000 locking ring tool

    I found a more versatile and cheaper alternative to the original shimano tool. With the shimano TL-FC39 you also need another shimano tool to drive it :ROFLMAO: the TL FC36 :rolleyes:. Park tools have the LRT-2. Here in Australia it is nearly half the price. It has the added bonus of being...

    Things you should never see on an eMTB

    I don't think bars are "dumbing down". I often have to think what they mean; I translate in my head. 3 bars could be as little as 41%; 5 bars (supposedly full) may be only 81%. Showing a percentage doesn't require any translation.

    New Rail with Tyre pressure sensor

    not impressed. That's my nature though - simple, less complex hopefully means less to go wrong. I could imagine sram doing a great deal with trek as a form of advertising / getting them out there.

    Tyre size front and rear maximum diference recomended?

    I have a mullet and less travel on the rear, so want a bigger rear tyre. I've inherited a near new dhrII 2.8 exo - it has a cut in it. I'm going to patch it and try it out - I run a tannus in the rear for soft exo casing tyres, so should be good. I've got some steep, loose, technical climbs - I...

    Tips on removing a tyre please

    I had to run higher pressures too, once I removed the tubes. Much less damping.

    How many gears makes you happy

    I hope no one was banned either. We know what happens when communities go for squeaky clean upstanding members of society - pedophiles and crooks :rolleyes:

    How many gears makes you happy

    yes, it's gone. That's a bit of a worry. It makes me reluctant to contribute if threads just go missing like that.
