    Roval Wheel Swap

    Not sure the Formula freehub will fit a DT-Swiss hub...what hub does your DT wheel have? Also, you could easily buy a Shimano freehub for the DT Swiss wheel...sell the Roval to cover the cost.

    Tick tick!

    Right-on! Process of elimination...considering and rejecting each possible choice until only one is left. Moving the magnet and rotor as suggested would positively eliminate them from the list. Tire is the next logical choice however improbable it may seem....(Gary is going to post a Sherlock...

    Levo SL Gen 1 2020 Specialized Levo SL alloy custom build thread

    That is going to be awesome when finished....With the monster chip I have on my FF Levo Comp's top tube from it falling over in the workshop I will consider doing this myself.

    Tick tick!

    OK, If your magnet and sensor are both tight and not moving then I have another troublshooting check for you to narrow down whether the magnet or possibly the rotor have anything to do with it. Try moving the magnet 180deg without moving the rotor in relation to the rim/hub, and see if the tick...

    Tick tick!

    Ok, went down and spent 10 minutes looking at my wheel and imagining what could make a sound like that. I believe Gary is right thinking it has something to do with the magnet. I would remove the magnet to make sure it is held firmly by the aluminum holder. To me it sounds like the magnet...

    Foldable Bike Camper

    I'd hate to be towing that in a cross wind....

    Tick tick!

    Ticks are bad news but even worse in the current situation...could cause corona with lyme disease! (drums in the back ground...ba-dum-bing!)

    Article Next Generation: Forestal Siryon

    Not so sure they are using a much lower Kv motor as the motor noise indicates a higher frequency...gearing could negate the need for a lower Kv due to higher battery voltage. 100% agree with the lower heat generated due to approximately 25% less current for a given power output. I2R

    Leaking wheel

    When changing the rear tire of my Salvador XC bike, purchased with tubless back in 2012, I counted 26 visible or detectable to the touch punctures...and I didn't have a single failure on the trails due to a puncture. The tire failed from de-lamination of the tread to the casing causing a large...

    Remove all adverts from the forum for £5 a year

    I'll gladly pay twice that a month to silence the neighbors damn dog! I know it's not the dogs fault that the owner doesn't take the time to properly socialize it but come on...shut the hell up already! Don't get any ROBO calls myself so lucky there. As for the advertisements...don't really...

    STOP riding...

    Well looks like I am going to have to eat my words... The Regional Governor of Friuli-Venezia-Giulia implemented a decree last night forbidding walks and bicycling and has ordered residents to remain indoors unless travelling to and from work or going to purchase groceries. Since I don't...

    STOP riding...

    Cycling has not been banned in Italy! You may cycle to work, cycle to buy groceries or other essentials, AND cycle for exercise. You must maintain the social distancing while riding. This is directly off the Ministero degli Affari Esterni website. I went out for a 36km ride yesterday and did...

    To put a price on it?

    Bottom line is that something is worth what someone will pay for it. Full stop! Right now people are willing to pay the high prices but once the initial rush for the latest and greatest reduces to a more average demand then prices will drop. Granted, Specialized's marketing department and...

    Leaking wheel

    I had the same issue and I just put a little bit of Muckoff sealant on the base of the valve stem before inserting it into the rim...worked perfectly and hasn't lost any air since.

    Hi from Italy

    Welcome Dr...Trento is beautiful. I imagine there are some great MTB trails in your area. I am located in the province of Pordenone which has some decent trail riding but I always dream of long adventure rides through the Dolomites.

    DIY: Range extender for Levo (and Kenevo)

    Resistance over a PN junction should be the same for both the 15 amp and 50 amp diodes so the approximately the same amount of heat will be produced by each diode for a given current. The 50 amp diode has a larger heat sink and should dissipate the heat more rapidly therefore should remain...

    Hey! Greetings from Italy

    Ciao Ep0xis, Benvenuto nel questo forum! I live in northern Italy and ride the type of trails you're talking about in the dolomites and Alps. I started out with a hardtail ebike thinking it would be good enough, and it was doing a good job to be honest, but after picking up my 2019 Turbo Levo I...

    Article Specialized Levo SL is a 16.9KG Super Light emtb

    Yeah, I was really howling on that uphill climb in the video. The one downfall of higher voltage is a corresponding increase in RPM of the motor hence the higher pitch.

    2020 Ultralight Levo rumors

    I guess I should have read up on the Creo motor a little more. Thanks for setting me straight! I like the move to 48v as the higher volts should be much more efficient. And I agree that the 20a cell could be an even better choice for a range extender due to the higher voltage under load...
