As I wrote earlier, I have arthritis in both thumb joints, mine is caused by manual work. I get relief from Celebrex, only from a doctor, and using some pain gel, Diclofenac which you can find in Costco for cheap. I have the same setup as you. Mine is so bad that I can’t curl my hands around...
Anyone tried any of the new radial tires? I think only Swab are making them at the moment. Anyone noticed if any of the competition riders are using them?

Thanks, the trails in the Redding area are mostly narrow single track and I must say have been significantly damaged, not by e-bikes but by horse riders. A shod horse but amazing pressure on the ground when walking. They ride mainly in the damp winter months when the ground is soft and that’s...
I had the same and I cured it by turning the assist up quite a bit
As far as gears crunching you might want to check your derailleur adjustment. I can change gear on my Levo under a very large load with little noise. I’ve cleaned all the factory lube and corrosion coating off my chain and hot...
I have a Levo in Northern California, the trails a very dry and narrow technical single track. Lots of loose small rocks. Well at least until last night when it rained all night but it’s going to be hot again in a day or two.
I find tyres with aggressive outer nobblies keep grabbing and want...
I’m due for some new tires and I’m not sure if to go with the Specialized combo or something else, I’m riding on hard pack with lots of loose small rocks, mainly on the bends of course, any suggestions? Price is important to me.

The wear pattern and the damage on the side walls look like your tires have been used at low pressures and you are using a lot of high torque from you motor. I personally thing that getting a thousand miles from a tire not to be bad. Yours look like they are still very usable with sealant and a...
I rode Tam back in the eighties with Richey and a few others. We drank loads of beer and rode clunkers, my god that was a long time ago. I lived and work on the South Shore Tahoe in the late eighties, apart from Moab that was the best riding bar non. That’s including riding in the UK , Hawaii...
What it the terrain like in Marin? Here it’s very hot and dusty with lots of rain ruts, left over from last winter, with lots of loose gravelly stones, mostly pebble sized and can be very slippery. Tire choice doesn’t seem to make much difference. On my Moots YBB I have a very smooth tubeless...
Hi , I have a new Turbo Levo comp with the standard Specialized tires which have been converted to tubeless using Stan’s no more flats. Ok the question is what is the minimum tire pressure I can use? I am about 220 lbs and like a plush ride Here in Northern California the dirt is rock hard...
Unfortunately my Gleason Score was a solid 9. But my excellent oncologist put me on Lupron, Xtand and proton radiation right away. Not my oncologist says I’m in clinical remission which is amazing, there is a good chance I might die of something else, I have a dodgy ticket after a four way...
