    Talk some sense into me (HT vs FS)!

    My boys have always had Hardtails they are 9 and 12, thinking about a 2017 Levo HT for them so they can keep up with me! Budget is an issue but any imput would be appreciated. Or will the HT be too heavy for them?

    YT Decoy vs Turbo Levo

    Direct sales models will always be cheaper but when the price and spec levels get to this degree of difference then I would suggest that people will take the hit on support for the savings. A good portion of EMTB riders are people getting back on the bike after years away and will do their...

    YT Decoy vs Turbo Levo

    I want them the same (spec) but happy to pay the extra for LBS support. Different bikes and methods of sale but surely this is going to put a bit of pressure on Specialized for 2020, if Specialized offered this level of components and match 2020 prices to 2019 I am in for an (unnecessary!)...

Set up of cockpit and suspension is (as Gary had said) is personal so no one size fits all and is always a compromise between setting up for climbing and downhill performance. I am no expert but what you have written above gives you a clue as...

    Difficulty climbing!

    There is something to be said for shuttling a few smaller climbs until you get it nailed. But take your tools with you. I would move the seat forward and lower the brake levers so your weight is naturally more forward, it's easier to lean back to regain traction than trying to get the front...

    What 'vehicle' to buy?

    I also would not consider a 24" bike as the options are few and he will grow out of it too soon, I faced the same dilemma with my son so bought a 27.5" in small and fitted 26" wheels and a shorter stem it is now back to original after 2 years.

    They look like a good option but those wheels are not going to survive long, I would consider using microscooter wheels as they have ball bearings and tougher wear surfaces. Like the ones on this. EVO+ Commuter Scooter - 200mm Wheel

    How to protect your speed sensor
