@Rob Rides EMTB Couple of Lyke-related questions if I may:
1) Do you happen to know the shock eye-to-eye and stroke measurements please?
2) How did you feel the Lyke rode in comparison to the Shutte SL and Fuel EXe?
3) How long for the ride review vid?
Cheers,
A few changes since the last post, most noticeably the Bomber CR shock, which runs a 450lb spring. Also, machined down a Lezyne cage mount, which allows me to run a 720ml bottle and have a much tidier tube and tools, under the top tube. This bike is approaching 5,000kms (over 3,000 miles) now...
Sadly, I think prices are only going to go one way, given where we are globally, and especially so if you live in the UK right now! I'm very grateful that I have the skills to be able to maintain my own stuff, in fact, I'm thinking about offering lessons to teach other people how to properly...
No worries bud. First thing I have to ask, are you 100% on the bleed? Unfortunately, the bladder and internals are not available aftermarket, so if the bleed is good then I'm afraid your only option is to take/send it to a good suspension service workshop. All of that said, the RC2 doesn't...
Blimey! First off, thank you and no worries. Secondly, where have you been? Hope all is well and there's no negative reason for the duration between posts?
Whilst I agree that their cheaper end forks are crap, so are Rockshox's, but we don't dismiss what's good just because of what's bad.
I know it is backwards compatible with the Zeb, so would assume the same is true for the Domain. However, I've changed jobs since we last spoke, so can't verify this I'm afraid.
You can size down on the 2021 bikes, which are bigger than the 2019 models, for sure. The E-Sommet 297 is a hefty piece of kit and the inherent stability is significant. With the primary reason to size up being extra stability, you can comfortably size down and still plow this bike through the...
It would seem it is, yes, perhaps similar to your drag detection foo?!? If you want the proof, pop your bike in a workstand (mind your back as you lift!), then pull back on the upper chain run. Remove the bike, pop a non assisted bike in the stand, and pull back on the chain again. Do let us...
You'll have to ask Bosch for a detailed figure on the drag (or read one of the many threads on this forum, that detail it), but even when off, you will be turning over the internals of the motor. Some motors are specifically designed to disengage the spindle from the drive, but unless your motor...
My SL is the same: 20kgs, plus or minus, depending on spec it's riding in. So much easier to get over stiles/gates, or just hefting in/on/off the car. Then the ride; it is way, way easier to throw about, feels more nimble and willing to hop, much easier to manoeuvrer in the air too. I love my...
Just reading this and thought I'd share my Levo SL's best to date. Last year, I rode the Ard Rock Enduro - 40.61kms and 1,518m of climb (or 25 miles with 4,980ft) - in mostly Eco and Trail, with some Turbo here and there. I had the range extender fitted and got back with just under 50% battery...
Just thought I'd briefly share my thoughts, 7 months and 4,000kms into owning my E-Sommet 297 VR.
First the spec changes:
SR Suntour Durolux 36 EQ R2C2 170mm fork, 44mm offset.
Marzocchi Bomber CR with 450lbs steel spring.
Reverb B2 150mm dropper.
Nukeproof Horizon 35mm stem.
Shimano 630wh...
Anyone know if Trek UK have any demo days lined up? I love the look of the Fuel EXe, but am loathe to put an order in for that much, on a bike I have only seen pictures of. Dropping £3,600 on Vitus from CRC is one thing, dropping twice that on a new release I've not seen in the flesh, is a whole...
