    Lots of Rough miles and Hands "aching"

    I think all the posts a bove cover the options. To better analyse why your hands hurt decide for yourself between 3 common reasons. Firstly from the sort of riding you say you are doing I am surprised you talk a bout raising the saddle.......anything other than mils single track at lowish speed...

    Levo Gen 3 Anyone try a 180mm fork on the Gen 3 Levo?

    total fork travel does not determine where the fork sits in its travel in any specific scenario.......damper tune does! I would suggest 170mm is a maximum on a Levo and yes, a 38 ( at 170) would be more stable ( steering) at speed over rough terrain but no reason for it to be any different to a...

    GX AXS issues (the MK1 model)

    My first thought would be the chain. Is the chain still below 0.5%?? Might be worth trying a new chain. You could also check that the mech is free to move ( ie the pivot points of the parallelogram). ........forward and back and in across the cassette and back. Check also the mech spring is not...

    Best way to transport E bikes without lifting

    Personally I believe there are other issues to consider when transporting EMTBs ...especially more than one. Carrying bikes inside a vehicle rather than on a hitch provides more security and avoids the bikes being subject to both weather and road/exchaust contaminants. If carried inside a...

    Strive:ON problems

    I do not have a Strive so my comments are purely my opinion based on all the information given on here a bout the problem. It does seem that the new latch has solved the issue for some users but I wonder for long. I commented before that i saw the issue as being one of battery stability with the...

    Canyon a good bet??

    It seems to me that there are now not many pure trail EMTBs with a decent component spec........a lot of bikes are more on the long/slack Enduro or Super Enduro side of things. I have that type of bike well covered but some of my rides are more XC type riding.....bridleways, byways, single...

    All New 2023 Orbea Wild

    in which case rim brakes would be mega!! Calliper to rotor is not a lever and there is a lot more science involved in determining the optimum sized rotor. For example a larger rotor will have more momentum..therefore more power required to stop. There is also the issue of the distance from the...

    All New 2023 Orbea Wild

    the friction area between pad and rotor is exactly the same so no extra power............just increased heat dispersal which is of course helpful if you do long ( e.g Alpine ) descents.

    Levo Gen 2 Problem with TCU and turning the power on

    It sounds like the bike is not shutting down, meaning some part of the CAN is possibly short circuit. The removal of the TCU connections forces the shutdown. It may be worth removing the non drive side motor cover and checking each of the cable connections there for corrosion. The other cable...

    Levo Gen 3 Levo Gen 4 2024 Rumours... And assorted random chat ....

    ..........so confusing referring to "bike years"!! Year of manufacture or season or model year?? Yes there are a few older bikes still for sale but Spesh has only just reduced the price of its "2024" ( current) bikes and all sizes/colours seem to be available. They also have significant...

    What did you do to your EBike this week?

    heli tape for zip tie protection!!......invisiframe is not man enough!! I replaced the presta valve inserts............cheap and easy to do every couple of months. I do wonder with the new Muc-Off valves if they are too long in order to house the rotory valve? Too long = liable to catch sticks...
