    Bosch smart system lock

    I know what it says...........but have you tried it?? Once the LED Remote is paired with a specific phone (a phones ID is its SIM card) it will not pair with another until that pairing is cancelled. The pairing on the phone is saved in the blutooth connectivity list on that phone and the phone...

    Bosch smart system lock

    I would use it if Bosch provided a failsafe back up but without that the risk is too high. The only device that can change anything on the Bosch Smart System of the bike is the phone ( complete with original SIM) that it is paired with, plus the Flow App. If that phone is not...

    Flat Pedal Shoes

    Any flat pedal shoe with perforations.............designed to increase airflow and keep your feet cool!!............are obviously useless if you want warmth!! So that also includes any shoe with a fabric type upper, which is the majority of them. Leather is the obvious answer. I use 5-10 EPS...

    Levo Gen 3 How bad are Turbo Levo Comp stock wheels

    Depends what year Levo Comp you are talking a bout. I had a 2019 Comp and the wheels took everything I threw at them but most of my riding is forest trails so lot of roots but few if any rocks. The hubs even back then were fairly basic but had sealed bearings and an OEM 3 pawl freehub. Sealing...

    Specialized Levo turbo to powerful for Sram cassettes

    everyone talks a bout lubing the chain..............in fact it needs very little and it is not lack of lube that wears it out. Cleaning the chain is far more important.

    Levo Gen 2 Rear Mudguard ?

    you are happy with that?? The mud flying off the rear tyre does so mostly at the top of the wheel and that mudguard is too short......... so as you can see the mudguard is not providing any protection for .........anything really!

    Battery in Cube ebike not sitting right, can I see your photo to compare?

    sorry no photo but I took a look at my wifes Cube bike ( Cube Access rather than Reaction but I would guess they are the same). On that bike the same washers/spacers that are against the head of the 2 bolts are replicated on the other side of the slotted ( white) outer bar. So I would say your...

    Brakes - feel & long level throw.

    .. so here is a test for you. Take a look at the position of the pistons relative to the pads.......you will see that they are only a few mm away from the rotor. Now remove the pads and push the pistons back until they are flat against the calliper face. Replace the pads and apply the brake...

    Giant reign 2022 frame cracking

    Fair comment and a lot of what appear to be common issues with whatever kit can be attributed to how folk use that kit......................but when any examples comes to light of a frame structural failure, it is more likely than not that every frame using the same manufacture/construction...

    Battery in Cube ebike not sitting right, can I see your photo to compare?

    not totally sure what you mean by sticking out............but your photo shows that the 2 screws securing the bottom plate are not fully screwed in and the thread lock application is exposed so is doing nothing to secure them.

    Brakes - feel & long level throw.

    in 100 miles?..........if they are sintered pads they last hundreds of miles in steep fast muddy terrain.......and hydraulic brakes are self adjusting so it makes no difference to lever throw as they wear down.

    Let’s talk crank arm lengths…

    I know we all ride different terrain and some of us a mix of terrain but at the end of the day we are talking a bout full suspension MOUNTAIN bikes. I alternate between my favourite forest trails with gravity runs to more cross country longer rides but my bikes are set up for the former so...

    Levo Gen 2 2020 Levo Diagnostic Help

    plug connector pliers make the job easy, better grip than long nose pliers which ensures you do not compress the connector which can dislodge the pins. Either way grabbing the wires is a no no!!

    Other Levo Expert vs Kenevo SL Expert

    If your main priority is rough terrain capability.........but you also need that sort of range ( 37 miles) I would go for the full fat Kenevo. It has a reputation for being a ble to deal with roughest terrain as well as still retaining good climbing capability and if your type of riding is not...

    ZEB pressure

    I think the big variable in fork set ups is rider+bike weight distribution. The bike weight distribution is static when the bike is static ( when you do the SAG setting) but can vary dynamically with different shock settings. Rider weight distribution is of course completely dynamic and where...

    165mm Crank length through the Bosch Dive unit option !?

    most EMTBs are supplied with 165mm cranks so the software is already tuned to 165 or smaller ( <=165 ). The SW update is therefore only applicable if you change to a crank longer than 165
