    Tow ropes (again)...

    Trax system has limits: USAGE INFORMATION Maximum weight per towed cyclist – 90kg / 200lbs Maximum recommended speed – 10km/h / 6mph fine for the kids but my group of m8’s (& myself) might be pushing it ;) (Also there’s a review online where they snapped one at the weight limit) I like the...

    E- bike newbie here - well not quite!

    Hello and welcome, don't worry about long meandering posts, this is the internet! Unfortunately you are completely at the mercy of Focus for that battery system as it their own, so it maybe worth emailing them, to see what their (public) plans are for the system life is, and what they will...

    Newbie looking for advice

    A quick google suggests your current setup is a "Boost" wheelset and this review suggests a 51mm offset, so yes though forks should fit and work with your setup. I wouldn't worry too much about them not being e-bike specific forks personally, that said if you could get the e-bike version, then...

    Tow ropes (again)...

    So after my bike broke mid ride and I had to be pushed back to the car (up a 1mile hill), and though I was impressed my friend was able to do it, as I've pushed another m8 back along a flat fire road and that hurt enough, I'm wondering about a packable emergency tow rope. I'm not interested in...

    2021 LEVO.... anyone hearing anything about them

    Doubtful, more likely sept/october, so if she want to miss out on a great summer of riding, keep holding out.

    Drying shoes - any hints? ( for when it's hot and humid)

    cheap & cheerful? Scrunched up newspaper stuffed into them, to get the worst out quick, replace when damp, then let em dry out somewhere warm.

    Rockshox or Lyrics?

    I know the feeling, but most jobs on a bike can be done with a little thought and patience. Youtube is full of guides, to show you how to.. Or adjust my aprox cost to include an hour of workshop time ontop.

    Flats or clipless on an e-bike ? Is it a good idea to ride clipped in ?

    What exactly is your premise based on? I've used spd's since quite early on in my mtbing activities, found they suited me, and wouldn't even consider not fitting them to any bike I own.

    Rockshox or Lyrics?

    It'll lift your front end/BB, which will probably be the 'worst' affect, and slacken your head angle by about a degree, which you may enjoy. Try it? If you don't like it, as per B1rdie, you can adjust it back by replacing the air (debonair) spring for around £30-40, this can be done at home if...

    Rockshox or Lyrics?

    Lyrik's seems to come ahead of fox 36's purely down to price point, neither are going to be terrible forks & as above your Rev's can be upgraded/tuned to be nearly as good..

    Thudbuster ST

    I had one but never actually used it :rolleyes:.. the recommendation was, that they are good, but you need to go for the LT version.

    ADVICE NEEDED, Kenevo or e sommet?

    The vitus is an really excellent bike, though I replaced mine with a Levo. I always think the old kenovo looks great too, very purposeful. I doubt either would be a bad buy but I’ve found specialized (& Bosch’s) support frame work is in place in bike shop, but have struggled previously with...
