I finally bit the bullet and purchased the expensive custom fit Sicomtb mud guard for my Levo SL. I should have gone for it earlier considering the marks on my bike's paint!
In the end it's up to you to find an answer to your question. It depends on your fitness level, where you ride and who you ride with. In my case, my Levo SL is my do-it-all bike, for everything from commuting to riding with friends to bikepark – because it is capable enough to do it all (imo). I...
I use both an Apple Watch and a Garmin Edge 130 Plus, depending on the kind of riding I do. Garmin mostly for all kinds of tour riding, because its battery lasts longer, but the Apple Watch is indispensable for bike park and downhill, where the Garmin isn't able to measure sports activity...
Conti Kryptotal (Enduro compound) on the rear, finally!
The old Specialized Butcher had more than 8.000 km on the clock and needed replacing. After reading about how difficult Conti tires were to install, it took me a few days to find the courage for the task. Turns out it wasn't as difficult as...
Same. 😂 Always too busy to fiddle around with a camera when on the bike. Well ok - at least two quick snapshots from top of Greenhill Bikepark last weekend:
Could they give you an update on general availability?
Personally I still can't imagine your hack (or bodge) will work or be reliable in the long term. But please keep us updated with pics. 😊
I don't think that would work, especially as the material towards the middle of the crank arm is way thinner, see picture.
And for it to work in theory, you would have to take the longest available crank arm so your new thread doesn't overlap with the original one, wouldn't you?
Anyway, the...
This weekend I'm finally going to visit Greenhill Bikepark for the first time. Taking my 9 and 11 year old kids with me who will have a beginners course (while I can hopefully check out the trails on my own 😏). Now hoping for dry weather and that everybody will find it enjoyable 😀.
According to your graph, your input (rider power) decreased significantly over that tour – and so did the motor output. Does not seem to prove a point here.
I can give an update to my original post another 1 ½ yrs later: the initial trend was not just a hype. I sit on my bike almost 10 times more since I've had my ebike, amounting to 4.000 km/year. Whenever possible I use it for commuting (which I wouldn't have done before because my office is on...
