    Do you think the lyrik would be an improvement over the Revelation rc which has the charger 2 damper?

    2019 Levo 27.5 wheels

    So i too want to join the 27.5" wheel club. I am looking at dt swiss h 1700 spline . The are supposedly beefy wheels specifically for high torque bikes. For tires i'd go 2.8in rear 2.6 in front. I don't really know much esoterica, but I imagine I need 'boost' sizing for the levo? and what about...

    Ebike Optimized Forks Or Not

    The complexity of the adjustments on the messer scares me a bit. I don't ride enough to really tune the thing, let alone take it apart. One user of the mezzer took it apart and made comments about the nut being only finger tight, etc.. Manitou Mezzer - Page 2- Mtbr.com I might just go w the...

    wheel choices are baffling

    Though it may be obvious to you how all those variables you mentioned affect the ride, these specifics are not mentioned in the manufacturers website as particularly as you did. Please enlighten me on the specifics of the examples above. I would really like to see someone try those wheels in a...

    wheel choices are baffling

    Why are there so many variants? Here for example are 29"wheels in 30mm width in aluminum from the same company DT Swiss - M 1900 SPLINE® 30 DT Swiss - EX 1501 SPLINE® ONE 30 DT Swiss - M 1700 SPLINE® 30 DT Swiss - XM 1501 SPLINE® ONE 30 DT Swiss - E 1700 SPLINE® 30 i can see the two...

    On going tubeless...

    My intent is to lower the tire pressures. I tried dropping to 20 psi and I liked the increased traction. With the benefit of motor assist, I can do climbs now that always had me getting off the bike to walk uphill. I can finally understand all about shifting your weight to balance direction...

    On going tubeless...

    so i am also reading about wheels- i know nothing really--only what i read in places like this. Will these wheels work? DT Swiss XR1501 Spline Boost 25 Predictive Steering MTB Wheelset | Merlin Cycles They seem a little narrow but the price is right. Though there is this fine print Predictive...

    On going tubeless...

    Can the stock butcher tires be run tubeless? Or is it not recommended? I see a lot of threads about maxis dhf in the front and dhr2 in the rear. But here in New England we mostly have single track (unless you go to a ski hill) and maybe those tires are overkill so maybe I’ll just stay with stock...

    AXS - anyone tried it?

    yes, I know it's expensive. I have a Gx drivetrain so it would be a significant cost. But the idea of downshifting through the whole cassette flawlessly in the face of a rapidly approaching steep or obstacle intrigues me. No need to slow down as the shifting happens a lot faster. With the...
