Not sure if the Danish site still has those 150s (or if they deliver outside Scandinavia) - I ordered mine two weeks back, but got them installed only now as I was missing suitable bolts.

From Unicycle.com's Danish "side office": Pedalarme - Nimbus Venture 2 ISIS, Sort

I got mine 150s installed yesterday. Didn’t require any Dremel work, but the clearance isn’t big [emoji41] A short spin around house and yes, it feels like you are pedaling quicker, but not in a bad way. Jury is out there until I get to take a proper ride on trails. I took a photo also of the...

...and if there is "loads of travel to spare", it may mean that the spring is too heavy. There is nothing wrong if a shock bottoms out and it's just a good thing, if full travel is being used during normal rides, but if the shock bottoms out harshly and does it often, then adjustments should be...

Yes, you are forgetting the leverage ratio. That means that 1 cm of travel at the rear wheel does not equal 1 cm of travel at the rear shock. Leverage ratio varies from a bike to bike. It depends on the rear susp. linkage and how it's engineered. E.g. Levo has leverage ratio of about 3:1, which...

The lock position in these Monarch shocks does not have anything to do with the sag. The lock position just closes (slow-speed) damping enough so that the bike is better to pedal (i.e. not that much pedal bob). If a bike is static with a rider on it, the damping can be anything, but the sag will...

Well, then it's the option 3) that I listed: the pressure behind the valve is not the actual air spring pressure value. In any case, if sag is 25 % and it suits rider's preferences, I wouldn't worry a bit. I must be the way how autosag works.

Well... if someone gets 25 % with 50 psi, either: 1) the person is really (I mean really) anorectic, OR 2) the reading is off OR 3) the pressure behind the shock valve is not the actual air spring value. If we leave out the possibility of anorexia, 50 psi simply just does not give 25 % sag, so...

One other thing reg. forks in their stock form: red lubrication grease used by RockShox on air spring side is quite sticky. I had a fatbike with RS Bluto on it and the sticky stock grease caused the balancing port between the pos. and neg. sides to stuck (I was riding it in Finnish winter). This...

I really need more training [emoji14]

You don’t void the warranty with that range extender battery, because you’ll have a cable with which you can always get the bike back in to stock form. I was also in touch with him earlier this week, but I think 495 eur + shipping is a bit too much... Not that I wouldn’t pay for quality, but I...

WTH... 75 kg and 110 psi in the fork? (Or was that in the shock?) I ride with 87 kg and I have some 70-72 psi in the fork. Which fork and damper do you have? I ask, because you get only so far, if you have Motion Control damper in it. Update to Charger 2 is some 200 euros (parts only) and it...

Alright, my Levo isn't for sure the most modded one, but I've tried to concentrate to the most relevant updates. As soon as I got the bike, I knew that I will update the suspension; the stock Revelation with its Motion Control damper just doesn't do justice to the rest of the bike. Hence, I...

Gosh... a true first world problem you have there mate :rolleyes: EDIT: If a LBS doesn't have Specialized dealership/contract, I wouldn't even assume them working for free. The situation is different, if we are talking about dealership, who would try to charge for work that should go under the...

Have I missed something? There is now an update also to the motor? What does it do (together with the battery update)?

Yeah, and I at least see it so that being able to pedal constantly with no motor cut-outs (ie. with shorter cranks) wins all day everyday the possible better leverage that you get with longer cranks, but being obliged to take breaks from pedaling when things get really rough. After all, with...

Nimbus Venture 2. Originally meant for unicycles [emoji41]

I have 150’s waiting to be installed (bolts still on their way) as I get way too many pedal strikes with 165’s. I mainly ride technical single tracks with lots of roots and rocks and I don’t mind if I lose some of the top speed due to shorter cranks causing higher cadence. With 165’s it’s hard...

Anyone else looking for the same: My Specialized Turbo Levo....

^ Well spotted, I do have a bash plate on my bike made by one Italian guy. Not cheap (98 euros incl. shipping to Finland), but I have to have one with my type of riding and the terrain I ride in (lots of rocks and roots etc.). The plate already has lots of hits on it, but it has taken them well...
