Probably the main thing that gets me and lots of peeps i know. I film myself on sections of trail to get an idea of whats going on. Thought my bars were touching the ground in corners, but maybe not quite:cautious: Lean over time
Before I go and test 29er front end configuration again, gonna do...
Never knew they did a 130mm, in Aus 27.5 first gen came with 140. They'll probably go a 160mm fork eventually, though perhaps getting too close to kenovo territory.
Well that would've been damn freaky. Reminds me of an old biker film called Stone, wire strung across a road at neck height, you can imagine the rest.
In the process of getting a few trails sanctioned in a nearby park, a few locals obviously aren't to enthusiastic and placing traps on blind...
Im loving the Rev grips, bought them straight after reading Al Bonetas post (you legend(y)) and checking reviews, as like Kiwi I've tried most grips.
Too many years working with angle grinders and the like, having to stop on a DH trails as sometimes couldn't feel my braking fingers.
On the soft...
As much as im liking the 2.8 butchers in techy dh and old school trails, Im finding them sluggish to change direction/transition on machine built trails, fast linking hardback clay berms.
I keep thinking i just need more body english to push the bike around, though after getting back on my...
Cheers Tim29,
I like the expression "double tapped".
The Levo as far as i can recall was designed around a 140mm fork, but yea, defiantly noticably slacker now with the extra 10mm.
Cant believe i didn't think to change stem, it was the first thing i did yrs ago when i did the same to my...
Thanks Mabman,
Part of the problem might be the tyre is DH casing and weighs about 1.4 kilo, so a tyre with less rotational mass and a shorter stem as tim29 suggests is something i should try
Saving up for a rear 29er wheel to try, though part of the reason i like the bigger wheel up front is the cornering experience, it just makes or made the bike whip around corners.
Off and on for the past year or so I’ve been riding my Levo with a 29er front end, 2.5 DHF, love it on my acoustic Trance so though id give it a whirl and it worked a treat .
Recently added a pike airshaft in my 2016 levo to increase to 150mm.
Rode with the original wheel then a few days ago...
Happened to me today for the first time, 2016 Levo.
Going uphill I'd stop pedalling on certain sections and the cranks would keep revolving for half a turn. At top of hill back peddling the chain would spin and resistance like you said.
Turned battery off a few times and didn't seem to work then...
