At 13,000 feet of altitude (3963 metres) there is almost 40% less oxygen in the air!! :eek: I am full of admiration for your ability to ride even after some acclimatisation. :love: I rode uphill at a measly 1500m on an mtb and I thought I was going to lose a lung. :sick: NB: A friend of mine...

Just about to replace the valve core on my rear tyre. I couldn't get air in or out of it last time I rode it. That is probably why I noticed the new Muc-Off tubeless valve. It has a rotary valve in it pretty much like a ball valve on your waterpipes. I hope nothing hits it and turns the valve...

My apologies, I was replying to @RustyMTB in his Focus Jam2 chainring thread, I was swapping back and forth between the two and got it wrong!

A bottle of iso-propyl alcohol (IPA) will last for years and is worth its weight in gold. You can also do the disco inferno with it. :)

@Jessmolly007 I have sent you a private message. (Look for the envelope at the top of the page on the right).

Easily done to scare ourselves silly with our expensive purchase. A few weeks after I bought my first emtb (Focus Jam2), it suddenly became really hard to pedal, with heavy vibration. If I put some effort in it would go. So I stopped and walked the bike back to the car. I dropped it off at the...

See Husky430's post on "chain ring line". If you have a 12-speed it will, be a 52mm chainline.

Doesn't do Facebook! Sounds like my kind of guy. :)

@Rolo Contact @Porcupine Slim he has experience of riding mtbs in the Everglades. From the sound of it he would not recommend any mtb, let alone an emtb. Ebikes and water do not mix. see the thread on Levos breaking down...

The Red, Blue and Green trails have all mostly dried out and are running well. Because they are maintained by the Forestry Commission (edit: now Forestry England), the numerous and widespread fallen trees have all been cleared. The numerous off-piste trails are also dry and running well, but are...

@Jessmolly007 Sherwood Pines is only 50 miles and 1hr 17m from HD8. I run some occasional guided rides around the place, mostly avoiding the red, blue and green trails and focussing on the off-piste stuff. Look for "Sherwood Pines" in the "Rideouts" section to see what we've got up to before. I...

The clue is in the location, "Moab Utah USA". A quick Google gave me this: Moab is located in Utah's arid high desert region which receives an average of only about 10 inches of precipitation per year (except in the nearby mountains). Ten inches in one year, we can get that in a day easily. I...

Well done that man! :)

Welcome to the forum. :)

You can always try it and let us all know. But I suspect that you are setting yourself up for some dodgy shifting.

What is the background to your decision to make such large changes to what is a fantastic bike? Or is it not actually that fantastic? :unsure:

We have taken over 50 years to get used to each other and stopped having problems more than 30 years ago. We each have a lot that we like about each other. We take pleasure in the successes and triumphs that the other has as an individual, even if we fail to understand what they hell they get...

It is a thread like this that brings it home what problems the Levo has and has had ever since launch. But the Levo fanboys won't hear of any criticism. Instead, they bang on about the amazing warranty. They say that they have had four motors and only had four days without a bike. I agree, a...

New bike! Let them repair it and try to sell if for $100 off! (No chance!!)
