    Help! Front/rear brake confusion

    Magura brake blocks double as cable holders too. Very clever.

    What did you buy your ebike this week?

    Yeah saw them around 400, was just in case you knew a secret. I think the AXS is worth it just to never have to index gears again! Cheers!

    Levo Gen 3 Bad front feeling

    What you've written above is perfectly reasonable. "that’s insanely too low pressure unless you weigh 40kg" is definitely nonsense.

    Levo Gen 3 Bad front feeling

    This is just not true. 19/20psi MIGHT be too low for some people, in some situations. But the above statement is just nonsense.

    Unanswered Decoy Fork Change and Headset

    I am sending the 38 Performance from my Decoy in for warranty due to a creaking CSU. It just so happens I have recently bought a Factory 38. I went to swap the two forks, but I cannot get the Factory fork to sit properly. When I tighten up the head cap, the fork becomes extremely stiff in the...

    What exactly is “E Bike Tuning” on a set of Fox Forks?!?

    Here's a link to a Q&A where they explain the rationale a bit more clearly. Whether you agree or not is another matter. Given that a lot of people I know who run Fox have their compression damping wide open, I can see how many would benefit from a lighter compression tune. I've just bought a...

    A Schwalbe Big Betty. Very impressed with it so far.

    What Oil in my shock

    Just buy a service kit. It will come with enough oil and the required seals.

    Which version of the Minion DHR II should I run on my e-bike?

    Maxx Terra is compound not casing. I would suggest a DD, Max Terra for a rear tyre. Slightly faster and better wearing than a Max Grip, with the added protection of DD. I wouldn't run a standard exo casing on either end, particularly if your trails are rocky.

    Light bikes, more nimble?

    In fast direction changes I can certainly feel the extra effort required with my Decoy Vs my Privateer.

    Most discreet way of carrying tools and tubes on your bike?

    I have a granite puncture tool in my cranks. Co2 and tube strapped to frame. EDC lite multi tool in headset. Covers me for most rides. If I'm doing something bigger I'll need to carry food anyway, so I'll wear a hip pack.

    Review SRAM HS2 220mm Disc

    I've had 2 sets of HS2s, all 4 of which were bent from new to varying degrees. With some patience and a bit of swearing I got them all true or close enough. They've been fine since. However, the Galfer versions are as good if not better and half the price (and only 50% were bent from new!)...

    Grips...PNW Loam

    The loam grips are excellent. I'd also recommend the Burgtec Bartender.

    Unanswered Bike stand for maintenance

    Not really sure why there are so many special gadgets in use. I use a super cheapo, Lidl special bike. It holds my Decoy just fine. It does have 4 legs though. I clamp all my bikes by seatpost, never had any issue. However, for general maintenance, I mostly use a wheel stand. For chains /...

    Help! Front/rear brake confusion

    Forgive me if I am being a moron. But in my head, you would just disconnect hoses from levers and swap over. They may need bled after though. My Decoy came set up front brake left (mad considering it came from YT Mill in UK), but with codes you can just flip them. I eventually rerouted the hoses...
