    Which Levo? 2019 Levo Carbon Comp or 2020 Levo Comp

    The carbon versions are no doubt more flowing to look at, and may have an advantage in frame strength, but your hardly hearing of ali Levo's snapping. I had the choice of Carbon comp and don't regret getting the Ali one for a second. I also have to ask... have you not got any local bike shops...

    Which Levo? 2019 Levo Carbon Comp or 2020 Levo Comp

    2020 Comp for me, 700wh battery and lyrik's, what's not to like? A single 700wh battery is more use to me than two 500wh's, and if you insist you can pick up another 500wh battery for around £400, try locating a cheap 700wh battery.. No doubt you might be able to find more discount if you really...

    Bike park helmets...

    Unfortunately I'm actually struggling to find LBS with much stock, and this is when I have several good LBS's, but keeping FF helmets isn't a priority to them (Or they've sold off their 2019 stock in the sales, & are awaiting the 2020 kit). I should have tested some when I was a BPW's... My...

    Bike park helmets...

    I would want a detachable helmet that at least conforms to DH spec, unfortunately the 3R doesn't but the Bell Super DH does (along with the Giro switch blade/Met Parachute and Leatt DBX 3.0 IIRC), so this is where I'm looking. The fox Proframe does look like a good option for ventilation, though...

    Bike park helmets...

    My friends have just discovered bike parks, and though they aren't my cuppa tea, I will/have ended up going, though not often & won't be hitting any black runs. So as one m8's has already face planted several times, a full face helmet is the way ahead... but I own an e-bike, so an uplift isn't...

    Recommend me a winter jacket good sirs.

    Pitzips are the essential kit for MTB-er that sweat in my experience (for those that don't, just buy goretex), so you ppl looking for a cheaper recommendations (as the OP is sorted) I'd point them Decathlon walking jacket range like the MH500

    Hi all

    Hi Chunky, maybe pop a ride request in the Rideouts section to get wider audience.

    Levo bike stand.

    @Dougygiro Nope, that seems about right.. as I could hear the metal on metal when trying out my new one. The shaft did come with a 'bushing' ala the top fitting (for HT2 cranks) but it wasn't going to fit into my 2019 Levo crank, maybe it fit into the earlier Levo's? I was a little concerned...

    Which bike? Currently a Cannondale Trek Neo 3. I need more power

    Hi Desmond, I think we need more information from you to help. For instance are you purely looking at hardtails? What type of riding are you using your bike for (road/gravel/light or full on off road) or do you plan to try? I can see the Bosch active plus line has 50Nm of torque, so most mid...

    Ford Transit Custom

    I love a transit, & keep considering one ( or a Tourneo) as my main car, loads of space in the back & driving position is brilliant for today’s congested traffic. Several of my friends have vans for work or ppl carrier alternatives & from them I’ve observed: Long wheel base is a must if you want...

    Anyone ride in Wellies ?

    What travel forks on your Levo?

    Hmm I have 150mm but have a 160 shaft to fit.. Though I can't help but keep looking for a Yari bargain to upgrade to a Lyrik, even though my Rev's have been faultless

    SRAM GX11 rear mech jockey wheels replacement

    No issue here, fine since August.. but a quick search suggest just getting NX version* and do away with bearings or replace the bearing in your current set with 626rs bearings. Otherwise Uberbike do some for £30.. *you've prompted me to buy some, as not being able to ride due a failed cheap...

    How do you always have:tube, tools, and pump with your bike?

    my chain, and then my brother got a puncture, we were woefully under prepared.

    How do you always have:tube, tools, and pump with your bike?

    After a 3hr walk out of a forest, early on in my mtb experience, I have ridden with a pack since. It contain a pump and spares & you won't convince me to do otherwise.

    E Sommet VRS Upgrades anyone ?

    Hmm I'd not taken the time to browse the latest VRS spec, but man that's good. I imagine most of the whining would be toward the Guide RE's but I've happily run them on 2 bikes, so a maybe spend the cash on a new FF helmet instead, for more gravity orientated riding this will encourage...

    Observations from a Newbie

    There great aren't they! The bonk comment is so true, they've re-invigorated my riding as I can actually take the time to think about my technic now, instead of just fighting for breath & stay upright.Have fun, though it sound like you already are...

    New from West Sussex! Est-900

    I'd not heard of Decathlon e-bike range before, HT's only at the moment but making use of the 90Nm Brose motor, that looks like a bike with a lot of potential for not a lot of money. Enjoy!

    2020 Turbo levo drivetrain swap recommendation - ? XT/XTR

    Try the Sram setup for a while, we all love it. It doesn’t feel clunky in a bad way, it’s such a solid shift, it conveys a confident shift which is awesome with extra power on a e-bike. I don’t get that from shimano & multi-gear shifting is a rapid fire joy with the s700 shifter. XT on my other...
