    Levo Gen 2 Pedals coming off after service at Specialized dealer

    I'd see what the bike shop has to say - I would want them to replace the arms. I'd be looking at the pedal threads too.

    jam2 frame broken

    I imagine their priorities are getting whole bikes out for sale, rather than supplying a frame for warranty. Right now it is a seller's market.

    Ebike tire showdown. Michelin E wild vs Schwalbe Eddie Current

    I think he can only review what he has. The tyres and rims are for his own use - giving us his reviews are a side benefit to us. I still think they are useful and I'm thankful for them. The other thing is that Tim29 seems to be a fairly extreme rider :ROFLMAO: - whatever works for him is going...

    What tyres? The Ultimate Tyre Thread

    sizing interpretation seems to have carried over from the motorcycle world; very much the same there too.

    The videos you want Rob to do

    Yes. I tend to search for videos on the skill I'm trying to improve on now. Not emtb specific videos; mtb videos.

    Geezer? Need reading glasses?

    I keep meaning to put a fresnel lens in my kit. I have quite a few; they're about the same dimensions and weight as a credit card.

    Another coincidence, of course :ROFLMAO:; yesterday I rode a black trail that I've been avoiding for a year or so. Last time I tried was on an ancient 26" clockwork, and I was shaky; ended up getting my knee stitched. Yesterday I ran through without stopping or eyeballing anything - got a quick...

    I'm not trying to create a Yuka bandwagon; I thought there is some good info here that I haven't come across before. Yuka has recorded her crashes and what sort of features she crashed on. This seems like a useful idea; it can give direction to what skills you need to improve for what you are...

    Newer base model OR older higher end model?

    when looking at emtb, there are two things going on; 1. the e system, and 2. the mountain bike. Very simply, how much has the e system that specialized uses changed? With that e system - it might still be covered with around 2 years warranty? Specialized added an extra 2 years warranty on...

    Answered How to raise handlebars?

    There are the two options above; you may also be able to roll the bars back toward you too. I have rolled them away in the past to get more height and distance.

    WARNING TICKS!!!! - please read

    Like most places, we have different types of tick. On the east coast you can get a paralysis tick; here in tassie we don't. I've seen a paralysed full grown pig resurrected within minutes after a paralysis tick was removed. I had a tick on my scalp, probably from rolling around in the dirt when...

    Answered Replacing Roval Rim or whole wheel?

    you might have to go the same model rim. It wouldn't take much for the spokes to be the wrong size. I'm guessing with the right tyre pressure you should be good?

    E160 - 2.8s too flimsy?

    Yes, strange move by maxxis; their 2.6 tyres are soft walled too, not available in dd or dh.

    Whether to mullet my Rail or not.

    bet your boots if you keep it, it will probably last forever :ROFLMAO:. I'm against changing the basic design of a bike - especially one that has reasonable R&D behind it.

    Bad riding technique or inherent design issue
