Fox factory have gold stanchions and fox performance elite have black stanchions. Internals are the same on each.

Buy a levo Then you've got the full support network from Specialized dealers. And I bloody love my levo :) OK you said bosch motor. Apologies... Also consider a Mondraker Crafty .

Ah I see sorry I missed this was about the alloy levo. Mines the carbon levo feels pretty sweet. I think if when I replace the levo I'll be looking towards the lightweight emtbs myself because my traditional non e bike is definitely more playful.

Strange that you feel it's a heavy bike. The pivot likely weighs the same. Though admittedly it might feel lighter if it rides a particular way.

I didn't even consider orange when I bought my ebike because there just seemed to be an abundance of reviews on all sorts of alternative bikes from manufacturers who were in a better financial place than Orange. I think if they were bosch motors they would have been given more attention. But I...

Yeah the cascade long shock kit.

I'm running an rc2t rockshox ultimate Coil and happy with it. Mine is on a long shock kit also.

Think that's about £4500 and I'd have done the same. Seems a good price for a comp carbon. Congrats.

$3000 less than what initial figure? Over here in the UK I think the prices of gen 3 were at best back in December / January. I paid £3600 for a base level carbon after cancelling a £3800 order on a comp alloy.

It's effectively a 2023 super deluxe coil so it should be fine.

Ah I see. I tend to just grease them up and push them into place by hand. Never seems to need any force.

Why do you need to use a bearing press for an integrated headset cup? Surely that's only something that was necessary on old bikes. Edit.. Or have I misunderstood what that first contraption is?

Think you need to buy a track pump next payday :). That little hand pump looks exhausting. I like your idea but can't say I've ever struggled to fit a tubeless tyre with a track pump. A compressor or air shot isn't an essential but I think a track pump is.

What grips are they? I like push on grips and I currently use Progrip 727 ATV.

That video will be a useful watch

To add though. If your zeb has the low end damper then upgrading damper to a charger 2.1/3 will make a big difference also. (but I've become a Smashpot fan boy now)

Swaps the air spring out for a coil spring. Makes it a bit heavier but it feels seriously plush. I couldn't get my fox 38 grip 2 feeling right so I swapped out for a Smashpot. They aren't cheap but they can be swapped between any fork you might own currently or in future. Your fork ends up...

I'd put a Smashpot conversion in the zeb. They are sooo nice :)

I think you've been salty since 3am in the morning. That ship has sailed. OK. So to conclude.. Your batteries get wet and fail. They don't die when riding in the rain but they die when you try to turn them back on after a wash. I'll back out because talking to engineers is always pretty...

The thing is, the bike sounds like it survives it's rides out in the rain, yet dies after you mess around cleaning it. So I'd advise you just clean it less liberally. Especially anywhere near the areas you're having issue with. Bagging exposed areas while the bike is on the rack doesn't need...
