Wise move. It is a pity really as MTBR is a great source of info for bikes and always used to be a great forum to participate on.

Not wishing to go OT here but you were a mod there right? Were you given instructions on what could or could not be done to control the hate? I know it is a touchy subject and suspect it is why you left so feel free to ignore if you don't want to talk about it. I am just curious as to why they...

Worth looking at the e-genius. I have the 710 and am very impressed with it.

Hi Tony from another Worthing resident! I have an e-genius purchased from Quest which I love. I believe he is selling his demo 720...might be worth a test ride?

OK so according to the Specialized figures for a med Levo. Seat tube is 435mm. Cranks are 175mm I assume and dropper is 150mm I assume. That is 76cm or 30" with the seat post fully inserted and fully extended. Even allowing an inch for the dropper collat your feet should at least be in the...

Sorry if I missed it Cyclone but what is your inside leg measurement?

I wonder if how you ride affects wear rates? Riding everywhere in the highest setting and low cadence is going to be putting a lot more torque through the drivetrain than spinning high cadence in eco.

I use Strava but the Shimano display tracks it as well.

Scaring me now! Hope you make a speedy recovery, which trail was it?

I think you might be right about the size...something sounds very odd. I may have missed it but how tall are you and do you know your inside leg measurement?

From what I have read e-bikes do need the chain replacing more often as the power being put though the drivetrain is much higher. Also if you carry on with a worn chain you will wear the rear cassette and front chainring and that will work out much more expensive in the long run! Chains are...

If that is the case and the seat post is fully inserted in the seat tube (as low as it can go) the bike does not even come close to fitting you and you should go for the next size down. I would also look for a different shop as no reputable shop should sell you a bike that is that bad a fit. You...

Welcome, I was in Vancouver last year before hitting the bike park in Whistler. Beautiful city and looks like it has some amazing riding.

Can you clarify what you mean by seat full extended as it sound like you cannot even reach the pedals in that situation. Do you mean the dropper (the bit that slides up and down with the buttomn on the bars) set to fully extended or do you mean the post (the bit that goes into the seat tube and...

Stu, try slower rebound settings if it is bouncing you around a lot that may help

Fork is about 20% of total travel. What are you not liking about the setup at the moment?

Don't forget that about 10psi gets lost when you attache the pump (air moves into the hose) I spent ages costantly checking and adding 10 psi to my first set of forks!:oops:

Thanks for the clarification. Not wishing to come across as a know it all (believe me I am not when it comes to suspension!) but I would recommend getting a shock pump and doing the air in fork and shock yourself. It is no harder than inflating a tyre and it is useful to play with pressures to...

HI Can you elaborate a little on this? I thought the Shimano system used a normal chainset. Are you saying there is some kind of freehub between the chainring and the BB?

12 psi is really low but if it works for you all is good. I run my 2.8 tyres on my emtb and my normal bike at about 18 front 19 rear. It is more critical on the normal bike as too high it is bouncy and too low it squirms too much. Also Kcarbon I amy be mis reading but did you take your bike back...
