I feel for you with all that mud, I’ll take the dry desert any day. I’d hate to have to clean my bike after ever ride. It has been about 5 rides since I washed the bike.
Gold Canyon, AZ. Really fun trails with a very remote feeling. I saw only 1 other bike on a 17 mile ride on a Saturday.
This ride freaked me out more than any other ride I’ve been on. I came around a blind corner at fairly slow speed. A Diamondback Rattlesnake was laying across the trail...
I agree for the most part, they just ride very differently though. I never really ride the SL anymore now that I have the EXe. The EXe is a much more refined bike and the riding is more natural, as is the power delivery. I recently rode the SL with my son. He is bigger and taller than me...
My Levo SL 1.1 does about the same as my EXe on climbs, but does feel more punchy. The range on both is very similar too, even though the SL has the 320 wh battery.
Range on the EXe is not the best. Nice thing is, the battery is easily removable. I use 2 batteries and go for really long rides. A full 360 wh battery is only $150 more than the 160 wh range extender.
Mine barely fits a 2.5. Like was already said, you can probably bend one to fit. Here is the rack I built. The MTB’s have the weight on the rear tire. The gravel bikes are hanging. With the gravel bikes hanging, it staggers the handle bars for a tighter fit. I like to keep my main bike on...
I have a fully custom 9.5. It was stripped to the frame and rebuilt. If I didn‘t do a custom build, I’d probably get the 9.7. It has the Fox suspension and carbon frame at a reasonable price.
Did the bike get a firmware update when you purchased it? This needs to be done through your bike shop with the battery in the bike. Not sure if this is your issue, but it should s like you need to go to your shop.
I am already back home in AZ. I rode everything on a solo road trip, so no action shots. I stopped by Over The Edge bike shop. The owner is really cool. He always has group rides to show people around if you‘re into that. Otherwise, he’ll give you a lot of tips on the area. I saw very few...
Gooseberry Mesa and Wire Mesa in Utah. Gooseberry was rated expert (double black diamond) in some areas, but there is no way it was that difficult. I cleaned everything on my first try except 1 feature and had 2 pedal strikes on easy sections where I just wasn’t paying attention. I am...
Did 20 miles in Sedona, AZ today. Tomorrow I’ll be riding Monolith Gardens in Kingman, AZ. Thursday I’ll be riding Gooseberry Mesa in Hurricane, UT. It is gonna be an epic 3 days.
Thanks for the info. I just downloaded the TQ app and activated stealth mode. Everything went to stealth, except that it still showed the battery bar (not the percentage, just the bar). Does yours do the same ?
I’ve used electrical tape, but only to hide the display. I am going to Sedona tomorrow, so want to be stealth as possible(EMTB’s are not allowed there). I will be using it tomorrow. I live in the desert, so water ingress is not an issue.
Yes, but the first 2 pics are from Hawes (best spot in the valley as far as I am concerned). Did tech loop, long loop and sport loop for the first time. I never realized these were such fun trails. I live near Hawes, so most of my riding is there. I’ll definitely be hitting these trails at...
No, just keep your eyes out. They don’t want to strike and bites are somewhat rare, but it still freaks me out. I’d hate to step off my bike or crash In the wrong spot with one sitting in a bush next to the trail. Last September I came around a corner and had no time to stop. The snake was...
