    I’m back on the Specialized wagon baby!

    Love it! If I can’t use the shock that I have I may just have to sell what I have and buy a new one. That’s just awesome. And my eyes already mad at me for not going with the levo SL.

    I’m back on the Specialized wagon baby!

    Ugh, was looking at the spec sheets from both bikes, and looks like the rear shock may not be compatible: Canyon: Fox Float DPS Factory 230x60mm Specialized: 210x52.5mm Seeing other Levo models with Fox Float I though it would be compatible, not sure anymore as it appears that all models...

    I’m back on the Specialized wagon baby!

    yeah they feel way too spongy to me. I know it’s something you get used to, but I much prefer the instant grab from Shimano and since I have it around I may as well try it. Wondering about the suspension and fork though, do they fit?

    I’m back on the Specialized wagon baby!

    Most likely a very good advice. Still curious if the parts are compatible though, suspension mainly. Since I’ll both bikes around before I sell the canyon, I may as well give it a try no? Too crazy to do it?

    I’m back on the Specialized wagon baby!

    It was bound to happen. My lbs is Specialized only but after the 2019 delivery fiasco I‘ve dropped my order and went with a Spectral:ON 9.0 seen here: Spectral:ON and eBike first ride and impressions - EMTB Forums This bike was top of the range throughout the year, with XTR all around, Fox...

    Beware about ebiketuning.com orders

    For anyone looking to buy from them, things were cleared up. They were having issues with their site, and related or not their messages were not reaching me either.

    Beware about ebiketuning.com orders

    I've placed an order on this site early in the week and have been since trying to contact them without any luck. This morning site was down, which prompted me to proceed with PayPal dispute. I have been burnt before. As soon as I've opened the dispute, within one hour, I get a reply from the...

    Spectral:ON and eBike first ride and impressions

    By default Eco mode is set to have the minimum assistance I believe.

    Spectral:ON and eBike first ride and impressions

    Rode again yesterday, and boy am I enjoying this thing! I've been feeling what everyone says about ebikes, so let me for now focus on what is not so great about this one: 1. Walk mode - This is more a Shimano thing I imagine, but man, does it suck! 2. Range - Yesterday I've rode 44km, 900m of...

    Are e-bikes ruining mountain biking?

    Exactly. What caught me off guard here was the fact that these guys are always very reasonable and knowledgeable. The negativity towards ebike riders and the arguments used surprised me. As Gordon points out, maybe there's some friction in US caused by trail access issues, and then there's the...

    Are e-bikes ruining mountain biking?

    Oh, I need to catch up on the other ones then. The thing that really annoyed me was the assumption, and it can only be an assumption, that people riding ebikes are less likely in general to help with trails maintenance. There were a few other considerations about "cheating" and "reward" which...

MTB Podcast – Episode 10 – Dirt bike in sheep's clothing - MTB Podcast Kinda disappointed with their views on the...

    Going from ebike to a normal bike

    Yup, after just one weekend with my ebike that's how I felt too.

    Going from ebike to a normal bike

    I've just start riding my spectral: on and I'm thinking I will eventually buy another non ebike too. They are really different riding experiences and I don't want get to the point where I just ride ebikes. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but I believe you should try not to be too much...

    Good range test
