Part of me thinks that for the £60 I paid for the bash guard I could have just bashed hell out of my battery cover, saved some weight and some bottom bracket height and just replaced it when needed with one of these...
I have that one and the velcro didn't last two minutes. Think I need to bend the bash guard more to get it closer because it's too far from bike at rear.
It's nice enough but I don't know if I like it that much.
Turns out the shock I bought had the stroke changed by the previous owner and it wasn't 57.5 as Id previously worried. It's a 230x65 as intended so I was able to fit the link and shock today.
It feels very plush but I've not had chance to ride it properly yet.
Should be giving it a proper...
I've dismantled my rockshox air shocks in past but never the coil shock. I could probably buy a 20 quid hbo bolt to gain the travel but might be better off sending it back to the seller and sourcing a new shock.
Frustrating because I wanted to be on the long shock by now.
This sounds great but annoyingly the shock is practically new and i think they only install the upgrade as part of a full service so I'd likely be looking at a few hundred quid?
Was hyped to set mine up this weekend but it turns out the shock I bought advertised as a 230*65 turned up as a 230*57.5 :(.
Gutted.
If I hadn't already spent a fortune I'd consider doing the wps upgrade on it and getting them to change shock stroke at same time.
If you bought a gen 4 levo you'd be spending thousands more anyway.
You should be able to find a good deal on a gen 3 and it will be a long wait until gen 4 would get priced so low.
They have the 50cm one in stock here which I believe is xl.

That looks great. Much nicer than the float X2 to be honest. Nice build!
I'm waiting on a Rockshox Deluxe Ultimate Coil before I fit my longshock kit soon. If I don't click with that I might consider same as you.
I weigh the same as you do so it's good to have feedback like yours.
Been a...
This is true. It's very unlikely many bike brands are producing brake pads. A handful of factories will take orders from tens of bike brands and produce them something to meet a requirement and price point.
Said factories would keep their number of unique pad compounds minimal to keep costs...
No need to apologise I understand you will have priorities and commitments. This bike just interested me because two of my friends bought it and would be good to see how your thoughts compare. Certainly a lot of bike for the money.
Looks nice in that colour. Id still like robs review to materialise. Wonder what has caused him to hold off. Considering how well he helped promote it I'd have expected a full review by now.
The ohlins would be a great option but it seems to be quite expensive here still.
I think ill wait til the rc2t rockshox is back in stock, it seems to be due back in the next few weeks. Everyone I see in europe is saying preorder.
I recently bought a long shock kit but haven't decided on my shock yet. Quite happily running a super deluxe ultimate air shock with a megneg on my levo but feel I want a coil this time.
Without spending huge money I guess the best choice would be an rc2t rockshox coil right? Are there other...
I think there's still some levos kicking about for cheap but not as many as there were back in December.
Early December I had ordered an S6 Levo Comp Alloy for £3800 but in end I cancelled it for an s5 Levo base Carbon for £3600.
Once that stock is cleared I imagine it will be a similar...
OK thanks for that. I think I need to invest in a decent brush to get the crap out.
Recent bike rides have seen my bike absolutely caked in mud and debris. In the summer it's fine, it wouldn't bother me, but in these recent conditions I need to try and remove most of the thick stuff if I want...
I occasionally use a muc off or peatys spray but that's since I received them as gifts. Otherwise I just use some meguiars gold car shampoo I've had for years.
