    Neeko DeVinchi on EMTB FORUMS

    It's good to know that GBK are still trading. I used them many years back when first getting into DIYing. I had no issues with getting items from China through them. Good luck with your build and battery assembly. Watch out for Kentucky fried fingers!

    We all know the importance of wearing a helmet

    I'm getting sick of thumping my head on the ground. Did it again this morning. My rear brake failed and I lost control. Had to limp the rest of the way around the trail with just front brake, not much fun. Just got home to find it weeping from the calliper bleed screw. No doubt it's got on...

    We all know the importance of wearing a helmet

    I recently had an OTB down a 4 foot drop when my front Tyre washed out on a wet root. I was on my own on a mountain in the dark. Not a nice experience. I head-planted too. cracked my helmet. Bit my lip as I landed on my head as my chin hit my chest. It all resulted in whiplash and a...

    What tyres? The Ultimate Tyre Thread

    Fashion them into some mad max body armour! Seriously.... Around my neck of the woods there are recycling centres which will dispose of them properly.

    Lightweight riders, tyres and/or inserts?

    I run a low power levo SL , I've found that running dhr max grip double down tyre on the rear creates horrendous drag/rolling resistance, I ran this tubeless. I have now put some old maxxis dhr, max terra, Exo tyres back on but with Rimpact tyre inserts. i am running 5 psi less in each tyre...

    Levo SL Gen 1 To people who changed their suspension on their 2020 Levo SL?

    You won't be able to tell the difference between 51 and 44mm.... unless you have a much more sensitive arse than me.

    Gen3 Levo de-restricting - Only recording half the distance with de restrictor

    Just tell the buyer you used it in Turbo mode all the time😀 ( I wouldn't do that btw)

    Gen3 Levo de-restricting - Only recording half the distance with de restrictor

    As it is effectively telling the motor you are going half the speed, it will then of course half the distance. This is commonly known with de- restrictors. It's like telling the electronics you have a wheel half the circumference. I think thats right🧐

    Are expensive bike lights a rip off?

    My new mk12 exposure Diablo needs to go back. if you turn it off about 50% discharged it doesn't come back on again. I believe it needs a firmware upgrade. Which to be honest is total crap considering they are advertised as over £200. They could at least distribute them as a working torch, no?

    Are expensive bike lights a rip off?

    Very expensive for U.K customers. They don't have headline figures for lumens, so I guess it's all in the reflector? I'm very sceptical when claims "it's like riding at noon" are made. I would be a bit more conservative and say... "it's like riding with your car headlights on".

    Levo SL Gen 1 To people who changed their suspension on their 2020 Levo SL?

    this is the shock not recommended... The Coil DB iL. Due to the twist force given out by the Levo linkage it has a habit of snapping some coil shock shafts. As you can see below its quite thin. There are also other coil shocks that are not recommended, including fox dhx2. All air shocks...

    New tool for Christmas :)

    Been up since 6am with a 5 and 8 year old. My house is in complete chaos. The early morning dizziness and sick feeling is starting to die down, just now waiting when to have first alcohol of the day and start munching. Thank god for elasticated Santa trousers.

    Levo SL Gen 1 To people who changed their suspension on their 2020 Levo SL?

    I have no idea how big is too big. As the geometry on the SL is quite conservative 1 degree isn't going to change things too much. I recently changed the flip chip to the high position and there is a noticeable difference to how the bike Sits more upwards in comparison to the low positioned...
