    Building a better mousetrap

    Does your dog kill the snakes? A few years back my daughter was riding her horse across the paddock and the dog bolted ahead to a tiger snake on the trail - they exchanges lunges until the snake backed off. I was surprised how quick our dog was - both at evading snake bites but also striking...

    Unanswered Full face for rocky single track with some downhills.

    If you are bald with scabby old man scalp, the leatt might drive you crazy - those impact absorbing things rub against one of my skin cancer scars.....Pitty, because my daughters leatt vents a LOT better than my bell super 3! If / when they become available again I'll be buying a bell super air r

    I'm thinking this thread is clickbait - almost 2 years to the date from when rob started up the 5 pound subscriber thing? ( ps thanks for the reminder)

    Building a better mousetrap

    Much more fun to use a live mouse trap then feed the bztrds to the snakes. The trouble is , you need a lot of snakes because these traps are too effective...

    Hey from Aus

    Would you believe stump run ? North of glengarry . It's not officially there, mostly natural tight tracks, a bit of woodwork, you will need trailforks to find your way around ! In fact , you'd need it to find the place. Two laps to a battery on the sl.

    Hey from Aus

    yeah, I saw pics of your bike elsewhere, I'd love to see how the mullet and decent shock feels.. My sl looked like this when christian had it - he sold it to build a super ksl. Now it looks almost stock ( except 36 forks, renthal stem) . There's something wrong about this fat old fart on...

    Hey from Aus

    Gday. Sit down with the kids and see how supportive they are, you can't lose. " buy the bike dad" - they either want you to jump higher / die earlier / stop embarrassing them in front of friends. " but the levo is good enough" - early inheritance installment ( my 13 yo learn't this the hard...

    Levo Gen 3 Any issues with checking in Turbo Levo at American Airlines counter?

    Can you ket us know what works? I'd expect luggage goes through xry and all those electronics would trigger an inspection - so leaving the battery compartment open +/- a note makes sense, perhaps a huge sticker on the side " battery not included " ???? These bikes must look a lot like a bomb...

    Orbea Rise 2022

    When I bought my levo sl , I was mildly annoyed that the ksl needed a different cable to the lsl - but at least the range extenders remained compatible ! My eventual plan is a family fleet with a few range extenders across several bikes, allowing everything from long group rides to insane...

    Caught deristricting ?

    it has an inclinometer - like your phone that flips the screen randomly. btw, I think it does retain data - at least it learns. It seems to calibrate the angle to suit different suspension sag settings. Ie the first time I rode my pwx2 in auto it didn't detect slopes untill about 25 degrees...

    Caught deristricting ?

    Not impossible - they only need to fit gps trackers in the motors and compare gps speed to sensor speed. I can imagine the pen pushers sitting around a table discussing the relative merits of bad pr from tracking devices compared to a defamation case when they wrongly accuse a customer of...

    Orbea Rise Hydro H10 just arrived...

    Yeah, give us an orbea conform. :rolleyes: Every other bike has 85nm, too many whatevers and comes in at 25 kg.....why would anyone build a lighter, leaner, lively bike that needs riders to spin cranks a little faster?

    Orbea Rise 2022

    Probably not - the carbon and alloy bikes use different range extenders. from pinkbike Unfortunately, the carbon and alloy bikes have different battery mounts, so you can't fit the larger battery to a carbon Rise or the lighter one to the alloy bike. Also, the Rise Carbon and Rise Alloy have...

    deristriction worry

    For clarity, the data on my giant showed an average speed over 2500 km of 15 kph and energy ysage about twice what would be normally expected - so the distributor decided that meant I was using a badass device ( that only registers every second wheel rotation) . They ignored a max speed of 75...

    deristriction worry

    I was accused of having derestriced my giant near the 2 year mark because average speed / % battery usage etc didn't add up. I was innocent, and able to pount towards factors in my usage to explain it - eg I regularly towed / pushed my kids up hills +/- a high % of the rest of my usage was in...

    How to find out real world bike weights?

    Specialized spec their comp and comp carbon bikes the same, the official weight difference varies between 400-900 gms on levo / levo sl comps between 2019 and 2020 . I stopped looking when I realized the real difference isn't measured in grms - the carbon bikes literally transmit energy...
