    interesting vid on resurfacing brake discs

    I thought everybody dressed up their rotors. Been doing that since around 2005. While the video is top notch, they can be resurfaced with a cheap die grinder and 3M wizzy pads. Without the drill press. A new rotor here is $60 US. Why waste your money on new. I've never had any issues. Cheers

    Levo Gen 2 Turbo Levo Rear wheel axle sheared

    When I had my 18' Levo I was able to get Roval to kick in a new wheel with my last hub problem. This is where a good relationship with the LBS comes in handy. I haven't had any broken axles on my 21 Kenevo or 22 Levo. (knock on wood) I wonder if it was just an early model Levo problem. I had two...

    When is an eMTB too heavy?

    The other day I tweaked my back trying to get my pig Levo with 29 X 3.0 Maxxis minion front tire over some dead fall.

    Kenevo Gen1 Nobody will care because it's GEN1, but Specialized still selling faulty batteries

    I've probably had at least 6 gen 1 batteries over the course of three gen 1 bikes. I've never had one not turn on. They did have several battery recalls where they put sealant around the LEDs. Your dealer should be able to perform the recall procedure for you even if the battery is not on the...

    Specialized Rider Care is not responsive

    I've had good luck with Roval warranty. The new bike has stickers on the rims. You scan the QR code and it registers. Anyway, I've had rear hubs go bad and Roval replaced my carbon rim with aluminum. I've also had front wheel bearings replaced under warranty. I think after that picture you...

    Brose "Significantly" extends Mag S life span .....

    I'm surprised that at a buck fifty you even have to turn the battery on. 😉. Try 210 lbs plus carry a spare battery in a camelbak hawg for 4500ft climbing. Anyway, my wife never needs new motors, just me. Why does the press release say 2018? I've been on Levos since almost the beginning. My...

    You can pedal an ebike with a broken leg. Ask me how I know?😅

    To all you deep cold weather guys

    I learned something very important a couple of weeks ago after skiing. Don't keep the key fob in an outside pocket when cold out. My truck won't start if it doesn't detect a key. I had to put the key fob next to my package for a few minutes to warm the battery. 😅

    To all you deep cold weather guys

    That's the new Tesla truck. It's not mine. I'm working class. That was the first one that I have seen. The windshield was already cracked. That would cost pretty penny to replace.

    To all you deep cold weather guys

    My ice bike has wheels that were custom made by EIE Carbon. I had them made 27.5 , max width, UST tubeless with no spoke holes. That way no rim tape needed or air leaks in extreme cold or wet riding. Match that with 27.5 X 3.0 Wrathchild tires. I carry plugs for repairs but I've found that...

    Levo Gen 3 New brakes... What does everyone run?

    If you are smoking the rear brake and not the front, that means that you are just like me. You rely too much on the rear brake. Also, my personal experience has always been, with SRAM, to use sintered up front, organic in the back. They also have different rotors and thickness. They are...

    Levo Gen 3 New brakes... What does everyone run?

    If you have to keep bleeding SRAM Code brakes every 100 miles, you are doing something wrong. Just saying.

    So if your ever in the back desert of las Vegas do not do this.

    I'm surprised you didn't run into cactus. Free riding in the desert equals 🤪. There are trails nearby at Blue Diamond and the Cowboy trails a little further down the road.

    Studded tires on a mountain bike? Trek rail 9.7

    Speaking as someone who just rode 33,000 ft in December on ice, I highly recommend Wrathchild 27.5 X 3.0. The best way, if you have the means, is keep a pair of studded tires permanently mounted tubeless on a second set of wheels. That way they are always ready and you can swap out wheels for...
