any new battery tech needs mass production before it even becomes viable in terms of cost our little market of bikes will not cut it. Cars will get it first but not until all the investment in lithium powered battery production is forced to migrate due to lithium supplies running out........as...

Before the advent of You Tube, magazines...then later magazine web sites, were the main source of kit reviews ( for me re Windsurfing Kit rather than bikes). The same things applied then as many have commented a bove. There was never any open critisism of kit because the magazine relied on...

ie 3 times the weight of your Levo, meaning 3/4 of the total riding weight is you!!

Just to be clear about the use of dialecric grease, you do not put it on electrical contacts, for example the pins of a main battery to battery plug connector. Dialectric grease is a waterproof insulator so totally counter productive to use on electrical contacts. The problem many bikes...

If you prefer variability just move to the UK. The weather is never the same here one year to the next.............its why we talk about the weather so much. ps Whilst you are banned from the bike maybe a chance to look at some new saddles that will give it an easier time when you are back on...

my mate has a 2019 Levo Comp he has owned from new and has only ever connected to MC once to do the settings and never done any updates....over 2000 miles and still running sweet..............if it aint broke dont mess with it!!

Agreed but when looking at weight of a bike, ........ in terms of stability weight is a positive in terms of manoeuvrability total mass is less important than where the centre of mass is positioned both fore and aft and how high or low the centre of mass is on the bike. In terms of...

yep, agree with a lot of that. 27.5 bikes (front and back) certainly suit shorter riders and a 27.5 rear on a 29er may do the same but ( as you say) often at the expense of a low BB. Whether you call it "fashion" or technological trickle down largely depends ( for me) on whether that aspect of...

now you are just being silly.....100% carbon for any composite means that the entire composite consists of carbon fibre mat ie no other laminate such as glass, kevlar, australian pine, bamboo etc ...mast and booms are pre preg and oven cured so absolute minimum of resin and far less than wet...

I dont do free lectures:p

I bet she likes the colour:LOL:

yep............except the paint :D North/Duotone Platinum 100% carbon mast North/ Duotone Platinum 100% boom Starboard Isonic Carbon Reflex ...and the fact that 100% carbon mat either UD or matrix is specified plus the grade of carbon fibre (e.g T600/T800used , construction method and resin...

A lot depends on how it is stored. Stored in a house it does not need anything except perhaps to run a bit of chain lube on the stanchions and shock shaft ( dont wipe it off) and cycle the suspension now and then. If it is kept in a garage etc the only other thing to keep an eye on is the chain...

Normally all the electrical connections to the motor are under the non drive side motor cover so you will need to remove the non drive side crank and plastic motor cover. The longer cable looks to be the battery to motor main cable and the shorter one is presumably for the charging...

Simple solution........forget the E180 and go for the E160 RSX instead. The spec is top notch and the bike is very nearly as capable as the E180 on extreme downhill whilst being far more capable than the E180 for everything else......and without ever having ridden the E150 I would bet it is far...

Both my wife ( Cube Access) and my mates wife (Cube Reaction) use Cube hardtail emtbs and neither shows any desire or intention of riding anything other than fireroads/bridleways/farm tracks. So I guess it depends on whether she shows any intention of riding singletrack etc let alone the same...

No....I dont buy carbon framed bikes :p but my windsurf boards, masts, and booms are all 100% carbon.

I have used one for years. Brilliant bit of kit. not only does it seal the tyre but you can leave your track pump connected and increase pressure in the tyre once the high pressure blast has finished............typically a 2.5 tyre will be at a bout 24 psi after the airshot is exhausted and then...

Well the flakey bit is clearcoat..........the bigger separated part looks like filler.

If it is Bosch/Purion controller it could be the Purion batteries running flat??
