    Squealing Magura Brakes

    Sometimes the only way to align he caliper properly is by eye. The loosen bolts, hold brake on and tighten thing almost never works for me with Magura brakes.

    Scott reaches are so short. Size up?

    My every day bike is a P2 Privateer 161. It has 470 reach and 440 cs. My medium Decoy is 430 reach with the same chainstay. The internet would likely tell you this means it won't handle well. In fact it's an absolutely brilliant bike and I'm nearly as fast on it as I am on the daily. So, reach...

    And that was that...

    It has been an amazing summer, I've never seen so much dust in the Tweed Valley. I am now desperately trying to adjust to the conditions, but having fun in the process. I actually love night rides, so looking forward to that too. It seems like a distant memory, but it was only a few months...

    Levo SL Gen 1 Levo SL 2023 Megathread

    Can't quite tell if this is a serious post. Having reduced fitness (for whatever reason) is not a prerequisite to owning an emtb. Full fat works best for me as my ebike rides are typically done when I have limited time. That means turbo up the climbs and get in as many laps as I can. The...

    How do you lube chain on ebike?

    Because then you don't need the bike stand. I use the allen in the chainring method. I wipe the chain with a rag after cleaning. It takes all of 30 seconds.

    Sounds like you need to adjust your limit screws and possibly b tension.

    What tyres? The Ultimate Tyre Thread

    Probably my favourite combo ever was: WTB Verdict Light/High Grip WTB Judge Tough/Fast Heaps of grip and lasted ages. Also, I really wish other manufacturers would adopt such a sensible naming convention.

    What did you buy your ebike this week?

    Or until the X2 explodes!

    What did you buy your ebike this week?

    Not sure where you originally got your EXT from, but the Mojo guys are an absolute pleasure to deal with. Definitely worth doing.

    What did you buy your ebike this week?

    Well since we just sold our camper van, I bought the GX AXS from Certini. Should arrive today. For the manual bike though, not the eeb.

    OK...this may be a REALLY stupid question...

    If it's cool I tend not tbh. I just prefer the feeling.

    Fork service

    Definitely! A lowers service is dead easy to do. I've never tried to do a damper service myself though.

    Levo Gen 2 changing damper shaft on Rock Shox super deluxe?

    I once ran a bearing mount MRP Hazzard on my Starling Murmur, which was just standard mount. To do it, I got a local guy to machine up some aluminium spacers (about £10). Worked perfectly. Might not work in this case, but thought it worth mentioning.

    Levo Gen 3 Fox 38 Setup question

    If it's of any interest to anyone, I got a new Factory 38 for my Privateer. At 82kg riding weight, Fox recommended: 97psi 5LSR 4HSR 5HSC 10LSC The fork came with 3 tokens. In this setup it felt extremely firm, with a lot of feedback and I struggled to use full travel. Now running: 91psi...

    Rear Wheel wobble? normal?

    Unfortunately this is very common with Maxxis. You might not even notice when riding, but I would ask the dealer to replace it. I had the same issue on a Decoy. YT just sent me a replacement tyre and asked me to send the old one back.
