Have to return the (small) MT500 waterproof pants.
I think they've changed the cut or something for the new season.
The waist is fine, but the bum and calves are smaller/tighter than the mt500 spray trousers I already have and they seem to ride up too far when bending my knee.
I don't think I...
Just found Leisure Lakes have stock of the MT500 waterproof trousers (everywhere seems sold out of small)
Purchased a pair and some endura reproofing spray

Hi Zimm, I do wash and reproof my jacket and trousers separately with Nickwax wash and spray (perhaps I should try the txdirect wash in or the endura reproofing spray), but I just don't think the endura spray trousers are fully waterproof. I guess the clue is in the names.
Got drenched again today.
I think the endura mt500 spray trousers I have need reproofing again. The dwr only seems to last for one or two showers, then the top of my thighs get soaked.
Thinking about trying the proper mt500 waterproof ones instead.
I've already picked up some thermal base layers...
Put the cassette back on and use that for leverage?
When I first got my dtswiss wheels the microspline hub seemed stuck on there, but i managed to get a plastic pry tool around the edge to lever it off
Are your tyres definitely different?
My bike was specified with the same sizes, but came with 2.6 front and back.

A Praxis steel ering is a direct replacement.
I bought mine here

They're out if stock at the moment, but if you preorder, they'll despatch as soon as new stock arrives.
The SicoMTB guard looks good, but you have to remove the lower swing arm on the Levo to fit the bottom half and it leaves a section of the bike unprotected.
If you're buying one, get some tape too

I can't tell from the video, but the chain is on the correct teeth isn't it?
The wider links should be on the wider teeth of the chainring.
If they are not, it can make it seem like there is chain suck on brand new hardware.
Sorry EME, I think I may have confused you
The ebay link is for a central coast mudguard.
This is a mudhugger:

Some shops will fit an invisiframe kit, but mine wouldn't, stating they didn't have a clean-room.
I did it in my living room with carpeted floors and a nosey cat without any issues.
As long as you follow the instructions, clean/degrease the bike beforehand and use the soapy water solution, the...
invisiframe do a protection tape kit for the Levo. Took a couple of hours to fit, but was pretty easy
One of these together with a large mudhugger rear is the best solution i found for the back, but the mudhugger is big and ugly
