    Carbon? No.....Light?...no................but who wants a fragile light carbon bike to throw down rocky descents? Forget the rest and go for the best bike for the job.............Whyte E180 RSMX :D

    Levo Gen 3 Fox Float X2 Settings on 2022

    The settings will vary depending on how the shock is tuned so your best bet is to experiment for yourself. One way to do that is to keep all user controls open and set your SAG.......typically 30% shaft travel. Now only adjust the rebound to its half way point and run a short section of typical...

    Has anyone actually replaced their TCU Battery?

    Probably. As far as I can see the TCU battery only enables the on/off switch. Thereafter the main battery sends 12v to the TCU for it to power up. Changing the TCU battery is simple and cheap so worth a try. If you had a cable fault the bike would shut down when riding so I doubt you have any...

    Pole Voima swing arm CRACKED

    The issue here is that some claims ( probably a small minority) will be due to accident damage etc rather than a structural failure. With the majority of warranty claims for more mainstream brands the "middle man" is usually a dealer ( LBS) or in the case of Bosch, any Bosch...

    All about AXS

    I have GX AXS on my Whyte E160 RSX and it is my first experience of using the AXS system so I thought I would share my thoughts which may help others new to the system. Firstly, my bike is 8 months old and I have covered 400 miles ( I have 2 bikes so mileage gets shared). The AXS has worked...

    Kenevo Gen1 Handlebars to solve carpal tunnel/hand pain

    There may be 2 different issues being conflated here.....and therefore different solutions. There are nerves on either side of the hand...Ulna and Median......then there is the carpel tunnel in the wrist that can restrict the median nerve. I think it may be more likely that getting the best bar...

    Light back protector VS backpack

    I have the Evoc Protector as well. I have 3 different jackets which I chose from depending on the terrain. My Leatt is probably the most protective with the Evoc a close second but both have no rib protection so after breaking ribs first on my right side, then a few months later on my left side...

    Bosch CX gen 4 chainring nut

    ....well, as I said above....and regardless of advice in the Bosch manual...........I do not believe a lockring comprising so few threads needs or indeed should have grease applied.................neither should the lockring be re-used if changing the dm chainring/spider or if the lockring has...

    2020 Norco Range Vlt C2 Fork Adjustment Issue

    not totally sure from your photos but it looks like the compression dial misses the downtube anyway so maybe file or cut the bumper down by a few mm so that it does not hit it.

    Hi, Newbie, new bike

    nice looking bike..............first job is getting rid of the reflectors and plastic ring behind the cassette...........second is getting it dirty. On a more serious note, it is worth checking over the bike completely yourself before trusting that it has all been assembled well.

    E-bike speed restrictions (agree or disagree )

    Regulations regarding the use of motorised ( electric or ICE..makes no difference) vehicles varies from country to country. The ONLY place you can use motorised vehicles in the UK are on public roads or on private land with the land owners permission. I know that differs in different countries...

    Winter boots

    If you want a cheap option try stableyard muckers........or snow boots......same construction. Lower part is like a welly and above that it's neoprene....often a bit higher than an ankle boot. Snow boots are similar but also include an inner sock.

    Winter boots

    5 10 EPS.....Shoe or ankle boot. All leather so provided it is waxed its waterproof....it also includes some insulation. I don't rate any textile upper with goretex or some other so called waterproof membrane. They only work if the textile/breathable upper is clean and treated and the pressure...

    Ebike suggestion

    If If you fit a Kiox 300 to the RSX it tells you charge % as you charge the battery. I usually charge mine to 85% and only occasionally to 100%

    Newbie new bike

    If you are referring to the LEvo base model it has a 500w/h battery. The 565w refers to the max output of the motor which has a nominal rating of 250w ( the legal limit). In terms of range, there are a number of factors that will determine how far you can ride on a single charge but a rough...

    SRAM Aeroguard Bosch Gen 4

    Is that aftermarket? I have never seen a Levo with one fitted..............my guess is it is designed for commuters to protect their trousers. It has no function on a mountain bike!!
