I had a similar injury almost 5 years ago, snapped my ACL completely and fractured the head of my tibia - skiing :)
I chose not have surgery as the ACL rebuild is brutal and would have meant missing two ski seasons as they would not operate until the fracture was healed, so I wear a brace now...
"Dressing up" for the elite - not for me thanks.
Working today (by choice) but would have preferred to be out in my local hills as I was at the weekend.
I have been riding my son's Levo SL for a while (he got injured so can't ride atm). I went from a 'full fat' bike to the SL and much prefer the ride experience and lack of weight of the SL- I can lift the bike over fences etc.
35nm is enough, and I have ridden with riders on full power bikes -...
Not sure, I think it must be close to what Madison have charged them. As I mentioned if I hadn't messed with the motor it could have been less.
Freeborn's service has been excellent from the moment I bought the bike, I would buy from them again and I guess that is why they give service like that.
I live in Edinburgh, Freeborn are in West Sussex - 450 miles away.
They are posting the motor up to me next week.
The shop that sold you the bike should look after you. Most e-bike retailers only want to look after bikes they have sold, so I would try contacting JE James.
£600 for a new...
I just had to replace my STEPS E8000 motor. I had been using the Peartune speed chip, which eventually killed the motor. I bought the bike from Freeborn 3 years ago.
Shop were super helpful, and got me a new motor from Madison for £600. As I had messed with the motor I had to pay full price...
It is now my turn for the dreaded EO10/WO13 errors. Intermittent WO13s for a while, but the bike died and would not restart. It has already been to a LBS who checked all the connections, updated firmware it ran ok briefly before the WO13 errors started again.
I am now getting the EO10 with...
I cannot get the key into the lock of Shimano E-8000 Internal downtube battery. It has got filled up with dirt as the lock cover is just rubbish and hard to get in place.
The Key will just not insert more than a few mm.
Bike is a Devinci AC XT.
Any ideas to either clear the lock (I have tried...
Haven't ridden a Levo, or the Decoy. But I own a 2018 Commencal Meta Power Race Fox, also own a Devinci AC XT which is an awesome bike but has 180mm travel and likes going fast.
The Commencal is much more nimble and is defo better on trails, but still hauls and likes to jump. My 17 year old son...
My mode switch has broken, have ordered an E6000 but reckon it will take a bit of time to get here.
Does anyone have a Shimano switch they want to sell?
Shimano SW-E6000 STEPS switch
or E7000
Cheers
Go XL, I am not as tall as you (188cm) and went for the XL in a 2019 MetaPower. I would not want a shorter reach. Bike feels really good, and I wouldn't mind a bit more reach TBH.
Commencals customer service is awesome, and with a Shimano Motor you can take it to any Shimano service centre. I have had three ebikes, none supplied by local dealers and had no issues with any.
Commencal have some amazing value 2019 bikes, you can get the Meta Power Race for £3700 (4299 euro) which is a top specced bike with a Lyrik Fork, Super Delux RCT shock and amazing components. Leaves you plenty cash for new gear to go with the bike, like a spare battery to give you 1000wh (500 x...

The 2018 Commencal has 27.5 wheels, I just bought one in XL and it is a really sweet looking and well specced bike. I also have a Devinci ACXT and the Commencal does feel more like a regular MTB in comparison and is a bit lighter.
All the bikes are good, whatever you buy, you will like.
