    Shameless plug. My bike is for sale.

    Dead right there, as everyone knows. The formula to calculate number of required bikes is (n+1), where n=number of bikes currently owned. Can’t argue with maths.

    Do you even squat?

    Brand new 10 speed chain broken..what do I do?

    To the op, another solution is to use walk mode in these situations, just as far as a slightly less steep bit. Or if there is width available, set off across the slope and turn through 90 degrees up the slope after a crank or two. Hope this makes sense.

    Battery choice and big mountain riding.

    Yes, very much so. Perfect solution and they provide options. You can carry the extra weight for the increased range, or, remove if not required. Arguably the extra weight of the trailwatts is carried in a better area to marginally improve handling, versus a bigger single battery carrying the...

    Levo 19 with 27.5 wheels - narrower tyre query

    Hi, I run 27.5 x 2.6 on 18 Levo. Big improvement after the orthopaedic 2.8 training wheels. mary up front and butch trailing obediently. Love the combo. I have a 29 front available with a narrower butcher, it’ll be tried when my forks come back from tf later this week. Mostly mud, with rocks and...

    Anyone in the North Yorkshire area that would like 2x500Wh batteries for their 700Wh?

    may I humbly suggest, you would also have to carry the extra batt weight for every future mile instead of simply when you need the extra range. Plus 50 w/h extra which will come in handy. Plus left over cash for selling 500 no2. flexible options and folding money. I’ll get my coat, as they say

    Battery choice and big mountain riding.

    How about a @trailwatts extender and nearly enough change for the shock?

    Has anyone bought an Ebike without riding one ?

    Me too, 1 minure on my mates meta power race in a car park, my fate was “a complis” so to speak. 18 Sworks and 19 women’s ht in one transaction. Best thing I ever did, no kidding at all. Buying a Transition was a landmark, yet tues pro too. Levo is on another level though, and had the advantage...

    What did you buy your ebike this week?

    Fork work, after stiction on rfx got to, “beyond a joke”. Evo upgrades and service. Fox attack water gloves. Seem good but only used twice so far. Under 5 degrees, light rain ok up to now. warmer(much more expensive) sealskinz gloves today when above failed to keep hands warm around 1 degree...

    Chainring 36t 104 BCD

    Same exact story, except I got a renthal flavoured one. Also needed small shims.

    battery power down due to cold

    Yep we've got 5 to 7' and I'm noticing reduced efficiency. I started wondering about one of the battery cover thingys. Frame finish will suffer I'm afraid. So that's out. I am going to bring chargers in and start rides with cells at room temp. See if I notice any difference.

    Levo tyres

    I have the same bike and similar riding conditions. I have changed to a MM 2.6 single wall, with a butcher 2.6 on the back. Butcher is a smaller tyre than the MM at the same size spec, width and height. I think “butch and Mary” are a brilliant combo. Mary restored front end confidence quickly...

    What are you riding with - Flats vs Clips?

    Shimano saint flats. Long pins. Very grippy and supportive set up with 510s. Bit bleedy sometimes. Never dared to try clips.
