    Most durable drivetrain brand / parts for a 2022 levo - need my third cassette in 8 months and I want to replace the lot with something durable

    Cheap steel cassette is what I’m after - in general I think it’s a con that you can pay 7000 for a bike and it wears out with mild use! I’ve not changed the brakes on my Tesla in 90,000 miles!

    Maybe 3500? All off road, South Downs, I’m not expecting miracles :) mostly in the mud and filth we have had for so long

    Before anyone says "technique at me, I'm 123KG and 2.02m, I am heavy handed and thats just not going to change so it's replacement parts made of something more durable than whatever the stock parts are please! I was recommended Sun Race? Cheers for any pointers !

    Anyone have a wall mounted workshop stand?

    I’ve got the cheapest Amazon one screwed into my garden wall and it takes 24 kg with no beefs at all. Sometimes cheap is totally fine

    Do I stick or twist.

    That’s not really true - at least not any significant changes. Yeah, maybe, if you squint you can see a 1-2% difference in those things - nothing else. OP - keep your cash. If your bike does everything you need now and the battery is good you are missing out on nothing at all.

    Size 15 shoes suitable for mountain biking? Any clues? I’m wearing Nike Jordan’s right now and under this amount of mud (pic included)….

    Turns out this was a great idea thank you - I got some low, 100% synthetic walking shoes from China on eBay in a size 15 for £26 all in - a reminder you don’t need special shoes!

    Interesting routes near Nottingham GB?

    This was hugely useful thank you!! I had a bit of a delay and I wasn’t sure if I was going to come but I got up eventually at 4:30 and picked an almost random 50k route off Komoot and had a great run through the nature reserve and then along a load of canals

    SOLVED: Massive bike for a massive person (6'7"/118KG)

    2022 Levo Comp, S6. Fits like a glove, runs like a dream, got it for £6,100, or actually £6750 + £650 of store credit, which I spent on peripherals and pedals. Trail mode is more than enough, I can get 60K out of it, all terrain, on one charge. Pleased. Any large man on a large bike questions...

    If this helps you - Santa C got back to me today and said there is a shipment hitting the UK before the end of the month. I had asked them for availability on a grey, 29/29, R spec.
