    DH World Cup thread

    Is it me being sh1t or is it really hard to find results and data outside insta and YouTube? Who is running the UCI results site? Unfortunately the timing and weird paywall/timing/youtube/app makes it less desirable to buy the season, have a ride in the UK morning and get home to watch...

    How often do you service your suspension?

    Reading this thread- sounds a bit like servicing your car (gifted the components are less complex). Do it on 10k p/a religiously, do it a bit later with MOT....... do it when you remember/can be arsed/something is wrong. No real right way..... but if you like tinkering with the bike and...

    How long to recover from Scaphoid break?

    I broke the Scaphoid and Radius once - was about 3 - 4 months if I recall. Best of luck with it - be as diligent as you can with the rehab.... that'll determine most when you are ready to ride

    How often do you service your suspension?

    No strict timing as who counts the actual hours of riding? I do the lowers & air can couple of times a year - gut feel on whether I've been hammering the bike or before a trip away. Sometimes it's just an excuse to have a beer tucked away in the garage tinkering around. Full damper service...

    What did you buy your ebike this week?

    I picked up some new wheels for the Levo this week. There was a 25% off early summer sale at Hunt, plus they were giving a further £40 off voucher for signing up to the mailing list so I picked up the E_Enduro Wides for £304 vs the usual £449 37mm rim, steel hub. These should provide a...

    Levo Gen 2 2020 Turbo Levo Comp new fork - 150mm or 160mm travel ?

    I moved from a pike 150mm on my '19 expert to a 160mm lyrik ultimate and its been a very worthwhile swap. I don't usually find upgrades "life changing", but this has been a noticeable difference that I wish I had done years ago. (I usually only change stuff when I break the incumbent...

    Levo Gen 3 500 watt battery

    Yes, I would think still so. Lots of people like the idea of a 2nd battery. I bought a 500w 2nd hand a while ago for bike park and long weekend camping trips

    £1,000 Accessory Budget

    Nice budget for toys! Would add some spares- tyres, chain, maintenance stuff like lube, grease. Do you plan on doing some of your own maintenance? Like air can and fork lower service? You could get the tools and oils to do those. Bike stand. Fresh knee and elbow pads. Some new...

    Paying for your EBike

    Same here for the 19 levo expert via LBS and v12 finance. I am using interest free credit over 4 years, low monthly payments and keep my own savings in the isa's. Bike is paid off in a short while i have just realised now I type this - happy days... edit here too - sold my stumpy for a...

    SRAM Vs Shimano

    Shimano fans over here! I have both on the separate bikes. SRAM on the Levo, Shimano on the Cannondale HT. Had Shimano on the old stumpjumper before the Levo. I genuinely don't care between then all. Press a button - the gear shifts. Pull a Lever, the bike slows or stops! Of course...

    Buzzrack e-Scorpion 2 - with Carbon Levo L and Decathlon Stilus S

    I carry my levo in one of these @galaga187 , I use the clamp on the seat tube. I always carry the levo at the rear closest to the car. The clamp arm I've moved around to the vertical and it fits on the seat tube nicely. I always add an extra strap on the bikes - i don't fully trust those...

    Levo Gen 2 Are Brose & Specialized Fixing Their Motor Problem ?

    thanks @Doomanic . Didn't I read that there is a renewed 2yr warranty on replacement motors or did I get that completely wrong?

    Levo Gen 2 Are Brose & Specialized Fixing Their Motor Problem ?

    I'm going to have to ammend my post in this from last summer in this thread (3 years, same original motor). After 3.7ish years my '19 expert is getting a new motor. Weirdly, the motor hadn't failed, I ended up taking it back to the shop for a dead tcu - probably from water ingress (this...

    Levo Gen 2 New (to me) bike day!

    Thats a beautiful bike @Dicko70 .... probably still the best colour scheme the Levo has had IMO. (I have the same bike! No plans to change it). What a post @Rod B. !! Learned a few things there and might take a look at those H2 rotors. I'm a bit cheap/tight and only change things when...

    Do I stick or twist.

    I'm in a similar situation(ish) and will be sticking for the foreseeable I think. Have a 2019 Levo expert, it's still with the 90nm motor, 700w battery. Tech or geo wise there is not much overwhelmingly new to trade the levo in for and spend £5k on. I am SL-curious , but when the chips...

    Vittoria MTB tyres

    I always find a fresh tyre always looses a little bit of pressure with the first dose of sealant. When you add some more a while later it usually then has everything coated and sealed. Even then its not unusual to have to top up a little bit each ride or so if you are a stickler for having...

    Levo SL Gen 1 Levo SL range at Afan W2

    hey mate..... i'd be a bit careful, full w2 is more like 40-45km, not 30km stated above. The full w2 is with "the wall" and "whites level" combined (its a great XC loop with some enduro-ey descents, nothing too bad though). I've done W2 many times on a ff levo with both 500w and 700w...

    How did you pay for your bike?

    Sold my Stumpjumper, used it as a decent deposit and did the rest interest free over 3 years. Should clear that in April - always happy to do an interest free if it makes sense, other people's money and all that.

    How did you get on in 2022?

    Lowest mileage year for a good few! I destroyed my shoulder from a hugey on the bike back in the spring - full tear of the rotator cuff, socket damage, bruised nerve. 8 months on from surgery and determined rehab and the riding is coming on. At one point I was going to find a different...
