A fresh pair of Ergon GE1 grips. The old GA2s had become worn out and sticky after ~9.000 km.

Greased my rear wheel's spoke nipples with linseed oil (no kidding) after those spokes repeatedly getting loose. After ~2.000 km some of the spokes seemingly got loose over night. That led me to learn the basics on wheels, spokes, tension and truing etc., I bought some tools to measure and...

Isn't that included in the SWAT tool anyway?

I wanted a lightweight EMTB – and that was the Levo SL in 2021.

I mean the TCU glowing red and blue. Didn't memorize the exact pattern. Did you check the magnet?

Check and clean the speed sensor magnet on the rear rotor. I recently had a similar color combination and that was an easy and quick fix.

Fitted a new GX Eagle chain as the old one had reached 0.5 length over 1.500 km this summer. And finally decided to give my bike a new look and to protect the frame from further damage. Maybe a little late after 3 years, but anyway. The idea was to go for a design that helps camouflage the...

Mine (internal) is still at 100% after roughly 7.000 miles/3 years. Not using a range extender.

This morning I suddenly had a terrible noise coming from the rear wheel, which made me visit a LBS nearby my workplace. Turns out my rear wheel (which I had purchased a few months ago) had a bunch of really loose spokes. No idea, why this seemingly happened over night, but tightening was a cheap...

Installed a 150mm KS Rage-i dropper post as an interims-replacement for an increasingly stuck X-Fusion Manic. It's a downgrade, because the old dropper had 170 mm, but the purchase was a bargain earlier this year (~€ 25,–). Thinking about going for a One-up V3 in the future, but I don't want to...

They must be great, because the guys at GMBN ride them, right? 🥳

Yummie! What model was the old one?

Maybe these test reviews help you find your new bike: Levo SL and Heckler SL. I'd go for the Specialized because the Fazua motor still has some "childhood diseases".

Welcome to the forums. If you want to keep your style of miles-crunching, just offroad, your best option might be something like the Specialized Epic. Otherwise, if you want a bit of everything and some assistance, then the Levo SL might be your best option. Enjoy the Alps!

Lovely scenery on my commute early in the morning.

And another Ferry pic, this time from the River Rhine. Currently on a week-long bikepacking trip with my family along the river valley (trying to avoid mountains as good as possible this time). Having great weather and scenery so far!

Some fine new glasses

On my way to work this morning. It's a shame I'll have to spend the day in the office.

Isn't that a giant RockShox sticker on the steerer tube? You've got the wrong suspension on your bike. 🤭

That reminds me, I wanted to go to LIDL yesterday. They have loads of bike accessory on offer atm. Among others, a bikestand for € 25. Can't do much wrong for that price, can you?
