    The beautiful West Wales Ceredigion coast line, Cardigan Island and Mwnt beach. Cold but dry, which I’ll take after our wet winter!

    I'm 173cm and have a medium. I would definitely advise a large for you.

    What Full Fat with Removable Battery?

    I picked up a 2023 Mondraker Chaser, Bosch, 625wh removable battery, 29er, 150/160 travel from Winstankeys for £2700. Wallop!!

    Whinstanley selling cheap mondraker

    But no one seems to have bought one! 😁 I’ve pressed the button so let’s see. For the money I’m happy with a Purion controller and the geometry is modern enough. My 2019 Rail is still a great mountain bike so this Mondraker will work fine.

    Did anyone buy one? There's no reviews anywhere for this bike and I'm thinking of getting one on the never-never for my wife.

    Levo Gen 3 Stem Length - S4

    35mm length here on an S4 but I'm 5'8" / 173cm so short for an S4. I'm running coil front and rear, but I don't know if that really makes a difference?!? I didn't like a 35mm length on my medium Rail but, of course, the reach was shorter. It's the best handling trail bike I've used in over 30...

    Levo Gen 3 Turbo Levo Gen3 - loose headset by design - how to solve?

    Apologies for the thread resurrection! I can't see anything matching my concerns so I thought I'd post my own pictures and observations. I'm running a 2023 carbon Levo with the standard non offset cup and I've noticed a gap between the cup and frame and also between the top cap and cup. I think...

    Levo Gen 3 Second Levo post! Budget air shock upgrade thoughts.

    I only managed one ride so far! Covid and holiday got in the way. Did a 45km loop and it was great. Somehow managed to be supportive, then buttery smooth on rock gardens and poppy on clearing doubles and trail features. Quite an achievement on a heavy bike, ridden hard. £850 built to my...

    Levo Gen 3 Second Levo post! Budget air shock upgrade thoughts.

    Well I went with this in the end after an expensive phone call with TF Tuned!

    Whyte 160 SMX or Specialized levo carbon

    Oooof! Your brakes and gears are on the wrong side, no wonder you got a discount…. I had a similar “dilemma” but went with the Levo because I could pick it up from the store on my way home, secretly I always wanted the Whyte though. Hopefully a mate will get one next year so we can mix it up.

    Levo Gen 3 Second Levo post! Budget air shock upgrade thoughts.

    My Levo comes with the OEM Rockshox Deluxe Select R. I’m not that interested in fitting a coil but I like the idea of fit and forget and I want to increase the downhill, hard charging, performance. With that in mind I was thinking that a reasonably cost effective upgrade could be picking up a...

    Levo Gen 3 Changing cranks - non Speciaized offset

    Yo. I’ve just bought a 2023 Levo carbon after 4 years on a trek rail. I had some PINND short cranks on the Rail that, technically, fit the Levo but have a different offset. What will the effect be messing with the offset like that? What am I going to experience? PINND weren’t interested in...

    Levo Gen 3 Cascade vs Pedalhounds

    That's great, thanks! Were the tolerances good on the bike? No slop or tightness in the rear triangle without the shock fitted?

    Nice one! Thanks for letting me know. What did you do with the old pedalhounds link??

    Levo Gen 3 Cascade vs Pedalhounds

    Sooooo, has anyone in the UK bought one of these? I'm picking up a Levo Turbo this week (after 3.5 years on a Trek Rail) and, of course, I'm immediately looking at what to change! Cheers
