    Seeing that you live in Australia, wouldn't a merida e160 be better value and the easier way to go? And it's a mullet :giggle:

    Display bluetooth not found

    That surprises me, but OK. Have you done an update recently? Also are you able to delete the connection and create a new one?

    Display bluetooth not found

    I think that's the way it's designed to work. I imagine you have to do the same thing with whatever bluetooth device / app you're using. I'm guessing that bluetooth does not stay active if it does not connect to something in that small time frame while powering up. I see this as a good thing re...

    Review 2021 Trek Rail 9 - Alu

    It does look awesome - not over the top. What is everybody's preoccupation with bottle holders? :rolleyes: :ROFLMAO:

    I don't see how a longer chainstay will push the balance point further forward - wouldn't it shift further back along with the wheel, cassette, rear mech, brakes etc? I also don't believe that emtb has more weight forward. My point of lift (where the bike is balanced) is a bit less rearward on...

    Charging EP8 from 12V solar

    There have been some historic doozies. Huge army latrines (rows of drop toilets over a communal hole), and stories from when London didn't have a sewerage system and dudes had to use headlamps with a naked flame. My mother's influence when I was a youth I used to read what she had finished with...

    The MTB videos Thread. Funny, Serious, Cool ... Share them here.

    This really made me laugh. The guy says very little, just smiles. His wife at one point peaks at about 200 words a minute, and has time for the classic "va fungool", including the gesture :ROFLMAO:. It's funny at the end when they both realise there's a camera in the car.

    Yes, I should have said generally I'm focused on one thing at any time. Now it's emtb :ROFLMAO:

    photography - comes and goes bushwalking - comes and goes. Usually through the cold wet months. I especially like off track or hard to follow track and alpine. travel - the world is getting really small; too many people. This has gone way down in my list now. I do like living in and exploring...

    Shimano E8000 - 3000 miles!

    Do you live in elsinore? Do they still have a big race there? There's some good footage of Elsinore in the 70's here.

    Shimano e8000 display time.

    I thought it is still relevant - it is something that was bugging me too. I'm really not interested in current speed or range. Time, trip distance, odometer, battery, current mode - that's about it.

    Levo Gen 2 An Old Git's Thoughts - Part 2 - Baby Steps & How should I spend my money next ?

    it sounds like you might need some time with a someone who is knowledgeable with mtb and setup. It looks like that retul system is very dependant on such a person and might be more relatable to competition eg xc or road. If your local retul station has an awesome person who knows their stuff it...

    Shimano e8000 display time.

    My display always reverted to current speed, unless I'd selected cadence. I did the 4.8 motor update, and an update for the power switch - I assume the display has the latest update already because there were no updates for it. No change to my display :(

    Trail braking and error code / beep

    I haven't had that error for a while now - so I think it was fixed with a firmware update, which surprises me :). I hadn't updated since I bought the bike - 10 months? There were two updates I think, one for the power button and motor (4.8).

    Unanswered Rockshox gold rl - token or not?

    I bought a trail bike with 140mm suspension. It's awesome but I find I'm pushing the suspension limits because I've started doing jumps and drops. I have the forks at 25% sag, but I'm bottoming out on drops etc. I don't want to go too harsh - where I ride isn't smooth. I'm not familiar or too...

    Levo Gen 2 An Old Git's Thoughts - Part 2 - Baby Steps & How should I spend my money next ?

    Just a spoke tension gauge and a spoke key / spanner thing. I (like many others I imagine) just use a zip tie on the fork or rear triangle somewhere to see the buckle. I mark out the buckled area with a permanent marker on the tyre. Then I use the gauge to check the tension of those spokes - I...

    Levo Gen 2 An Old Git's Thoughts - Part 2 - Baby Steps & How should I spend my money next ?

    I'm not into upgrading myself - I like to get the most out of everything I have. Suspension and tyre pressures, drivetrain etc. I did upgrade the rear rotor from 180 to 203. I did swap out the chain ring for gearing to suit me. Other than that - it's all fine tuning and maintenance and learning...

    Don't throw your cassette out!

    I've never had that happen either. Having some experience or knowledge with steels though (edged tools), I'd be inclined to heat up the effected area before straightening. I'm no expert, but I'd go for red hot, straighten it, then temper it in water or used engine oil. If it cools down while...
