Hi everyone
Is any one using one of these Inno INA389 ROOF MOUNTING BIKE CARRIER | BIKE | inno Roof carrier & Roof box ?
Unfortunately my wife's car is a company one and they will not let her put a tow bar on it and i will have to take the wheels out to fit it in my work van due to the inside...
After trying have a medium Levo for the majority of last weekend and demoing a large and medium Trek Rail Friday and Saturday, i have opted for a Rail 9.8 in medium. I originally ordered and large but after advise/comments on this forum i went back to try a medium again, and i am glad i did...
Thanks all for your advise and info. I just took out a large and medium and kept swapping from one to the other and straight away the medium felt so much more nimbler/play full/ragable which is how I like my bikes. I am looking forward to Wednesday when I hopefully take delivery, it’s like...
So i test rode a rail 5 in large today and had a absolute blast. It was mainly CX about 36 miles with some fun descents thrown in. As a result i ordered a 9.8 in large ( i felt a bit sick saying yes!!). On reflection and looking at the sizing info on the Trek site i fall in the medium frame size...
Is the carbon frame of the 9.8 much better than that of the Ali 9 would you say? It obviously has a £850 price increase and weights 2 kg-ish less but do but is the handling that much better?
Yes it felt definitely more rowdy than the levo and that was just riding down the pavement! I am looking forward to taking it fir a proper ride on Friday.
Paul Mac yes hearing the issues that some of the Levo/Kenevo owners are having is slightly concerning in my mind. Thats not to say the Gen 4 Bosch will be faultless. How did you find switching over from Levo to Rail? Did you notice any difference in power/tourq/battery longevity or noise?
Hi Paul MAC & P3eps, our of instrest What model of the Trek rail’s did you go for! I am test riding a rail 7 on Friday to compare against a Levo I had this week end. I took one up and down the road outside the shop today today and it naturally felt more comfortable/rideable straight away. That...
Ha ha, I used to work part time at Ridgeway cycles many many years ago!! I was speaking to the owner last night about demoing then rail soon. Unfortunately I am like your mate, I seem to get through parts/bikeS quicker than average ride which is part of my worry when buying a expensive ebike!
Hi ImSundee it was £50 deposit for the weekend and I should get that back if bike is the same condition as it was when taken. They even said I could take it to wales for w/e if I wanted!
HI Ridgeway rider, The Demo bike is from The Concept store in Newbury. It’s a good 20/30 min closer to me than Berkshire Cycles so way more convient than Crowthorne but it may be a toss up between conviency/knowledge and or helpfulness, not sure yet as my shop experience limited as of yet. What...
I went out on this yesterday (Levo come medoum) and did 22ish miles on, off and sound the mud clogging ridgeway, it was great fun. I only used four bars of the battery, you must be able to get some crazy mileage out of these! It felt like riding a DH bike on Xc trails. I mainly found it in the...
Hi ImSundee
It is good to know that there is some one else in the same situation as me in the same area. It’s a mine feild of trying to work out what is best/test riding. Where abouts in Ox are you? The Levos I test rode today where amazing it was like riding (what I recall/remember) a DH bike...
