    VW Amarok

    I have a Nissan Navara double cab, a few years old but works well with a blanket over the tailgate. It's the old model but not sure the new ones are any better, the v6 is the best and fuel economy is almost the same. See my avatar.

    What tyres? The Ultimate Tyre Thread

    Wet roots are one of my many poor skills! I posted then searched and you post came up so I thought it was relevant to both threads. Given how some people have raved over DHF and I could get one for next to nothing I thought it was worth a try but was surprised by the lack of difference on roots.

    What tyres? The Ultimate Tyre Thread

    Missed this but it answers my question in another thread. Random thoughts while riding yesterday with my new DHF not gripping wet roots any better than the Butcher I took off. Everyone has an opinion about tyre pressures but what are we trying to achieve with tyre pressures? There again there...

    Calling those that are running 29" on their Turbo Levo

    Random thoughts while riding yesterday with my new DHF not gripping wet roots any better than the Butcher I took off. Everyone has an opinion about tyre pressures but what are we trying to achieve with tyre pressures? There again there is no absolute answer as everyone has similar needs but...

    "Poverty" 2019 HT discussion thread.

    When I bought my 2018 Levo the shop was doing a motor change on a 2017 Sworks to 1.3 so I think it's possible.

    "Poverty" 2019 HT discussion thread.

    There's a cheap upgrade option, wash the motor weekly with a pressure washer and pay the difference when it fails, best done in winter! ???

    2019 Turbo Levo Owners Thread

    I had my son's brakes flushed in Les Gets as he was having similar problems, I thought it was air but he had cooked the fluid. Mechanics advice was its not uncommon and a lot of sludge came out. How he rode for a day with no back brakes I have no idea!

    2019 (not 20!) Keveno first ride/bolt check & motor feel to E8000

    The butchers are ok but not the best, I replaced the front tyre and will run them out on the back at about 26.28 psi (95kg kitted up) . Then they are predictable and roll good, I need good grip in the front to cover my lack of skills!

    Post your modded Levo’s!

    Nice, I love the levo in that colour except for the decals, change those to black or camo and then you have my dream bike!

    Are there any ladies here?

    If she is not too familiar with bikes then it's possible she pulled the front brake instead of the rear sending her over. Best training is to disconnect the back brakes and she will learn pretty quick ;-)))

    When do you know you've outgrown your bike

    When it comes to a lot of things the internet is your enemy, too much information and opinions! I have been convinced a few times that my bikes need this or that upgrade. Case in point, I spent the last 2 weeks at Les Gets are Livigno at bike parks on a 2002 Specialized Enduro which I had...

    2020 Specialized levo/kenevo rumors?

    Not sure all the 19 Kenevos have 1.3… 1.2e so worth waiting but to hedge your bets get a dealer to check stock levels in your size.

    eMTBs in Morzine on Lifts

    We went to Livigno after Les Gets for another week of punishment and didn't even ride my Emtb. Being a tight ass, I never considered renting a bike but given the amount of lifts in both places and availablity of rental bikes and difficulty of battery transport if you fly I would leave the Emtb...

    Heart rate watches

    I bought a Suunto to avoid the chest strap but the heart rate function is marginal at best or occasionally I must be dead and not notice.

    eMTBs in Morzine on Lifts

    Jaff Vtt in Les Gets is a great little bike repair shop, the guy knows his stuff and nothing is too much trouble.

    Back in the day

    So after 10 years replaced the brakes and serviced the suspension and it has been smashing Les Gets this week! But I have had a few funny and admiring looks this week. Those old 66s feel better than my Rockshox revolutions so I might not leave it so long before the next service.

    2020 Trance E+ 2 Pro

    Don't know but it looked like it had room for a 1000 comparing it to a Levo down tube! But a sleek looking beast.
