For anyone looking to change their rear shock but not to coil, I can heartily recommend the DVO Topaz!
DVO have a stellar reputation for customer service, which I can attest to myself.
Their equipment is well made, extremely well packaged/presented and VERY easy to tune.
3 way compression, 9...
After too many years to mention of no bike ownership, maybe just that.
I've just upgraded the rear shock so will see how much of the scratch that itches ?
I think, from amount of riding I've been doing (all of a sudden again, ref long bike break) and the experience of whom I've been riding with...
Tried searching but not enough letters for search term :-(
Has anyone fitted a DVO Topaz rear shock on their Levo?
I'm looking to change the stock rear Rockshox Monarch on my 2018 Carbon Comp. I'm assuming the "Stumpjumper" model is the one to order (DVO stated size 197 x 47.6)?
If anyone...
Cheers guys.
Pinkbike is one didn't know of.
Not sure. Love my Carbon Comp and I've got it sorted where runs really well now (ODI grips, crank brothers stamp pedals, 152mm crank arms, Hope 36t chainring, Maxxis rubber, 160mm shock upgrade), just got a slight Kenevo itch.
But, with mix of trail...
Didn't know how to title this so it'll have to do ?
I was without a bike for maaaaaany years.
Then bought a Carbon Comp Levo and omg have things changed.
Anyway. I'm changing what, where and with whom I ride and am quite fancying a Kenevo.
That being said (here's the "experience" bit ?), as...
Yeah, both threads on one of my arms was horrid giving me aggro, especially fitting fiddly self-extracting cap.
Not had to move saddle myself but also fit very thin Crank Brothers Stamp large which helps.
Loving new setup ATM.
New Bosch motors already allow for software tuning for different crank arm sizes and Bosch boss runs 152mm on his personal bike so it's already here. Just need rest of the manufacturers to catch up and realise we can conceivably go where non ebikes go and risk more pedal strikes.
Very fast...
Will do mate.
Currently re-indexing gears. My middle gears seem excessive in their changing (but I'm being finicky).
As for stand, I reckon it's THE most useful bit of kit I've bought!
On another note, I'm loving the Crank Brothers large Stamps thus far.
Was running Specialized Bennies, but...
We'll, she's all done.
No fan of alloys and the one crank arm had rubbish crank and pedal threads, but I believe I won in end.
No real test as of yet but round an undulating garden all seems good.
You Sir are a bloody star!
Seeing as fave country ever lived is NZ and my family are from Wales, no surprise I guess ?
I'll wait for the self extracting bolts tomorrow and leave the normal ones.
Thanks again! Surely such concise information will assist others too ?
Ecky thump, no kidding the original crank bolts are in there.
For those already changed (some multiple times ?) what grease are you using? Or copper ease?
Not ever having come across self extracting bolts before. My "normal bolts" arrived today along with everything else but guess my self...
