I have raised The handlebar as high as I can on my turbo levo.
I am mostly doing beginner to moderate trails and mountain biking paths. I've done some advanced ones as well, but sometimes I have to go back down the mountain because it is too gnarly for me.
I typically like my writing position...
Well yes, thats the thing. I wonder if thats the case because your frame is carbon. Mine is aluminium. I only have the regular comp.
I went back on the dirt road and it is very rough, washboard style, with lots of little holes in it. I wonder if thats the reason and whether anything would help...
What does it mean people say they have a coil?
Does that mean the remove the factory gas/oil shock and replace it with a spring? Do you have a photo of this "coil"?
Wow... Are those tires really that cheap? Im not a biker,this is my first bike in a long time and I assumed at such a high price point the components would be high.
The first 12 miles was up a mountain. The second 12 miles was a dirt road. Average speed up the mountain was about 5 miles an hour. Average speed in the dirt road was 13.
I didn't notice the vibration until during the dirt portion road now that I'm thinking about it.
So i bought a brand new 2021 Turbo Levo Comp today and the vibration is just too much for me.
The bike is not defective, i think combination of the increased speed and aluminum frame just makes this a very vibration friendly bike.
I'm coming from a non suspension steel bike.
I rode 24 miles...
I'm currently converting a bike using a kit from Grin Technologies. I was wondering if there were any mountain bike specific kits that anybody would recommend.
The one I'm converting from Grin is a hub motor. Could I do a hub motor for a mountain bike?
Hmm, nice. I like that they say "approachable" in their marketing. The LBS i went to was not approachable whatsoever. They wouldnt even let me sit on the bike, and they wouldnt let me ride it unless I bought it.
Thinking about buying a new bike, at full retail here in Colorado, but just noticing that the weather is turning now. New to the area and wondering if its worth it to buy a bike this late in the season and whether its even feasible to still ride enjoyable and whether bikes will be discounted...
My local bike store has a 2019 Moterra on sale at %20 off. So about $5000 plus tax.
Is this a good deal?
My other choice I'm thinking right now is either a Trek Rail 7, or a Specialized Turbo Levo Comp.
