LOL!

Am I the only one seeing the irony in complaining that SRAM cassettes are expensive yet wanting to upgrade to AXS...;) You'll need a new driver for a twelve speed Shimano called micro spline for your Levo and also your Cube (unless the hubs are exactly the same); cost about $200 each. I don't...

And maybe some rim tape too. Again the MucOff kind seems as good as any.

Are you having problems breaking spokes? I have broken two in the last three rides on fairly mellow trails (Woodhill). Rims are holding up surprisingly well on my Rail but I have had Cushcore installed almost since new.

If it still holds air and is reasonably true, I'd keep running it.

282mm was the closest my nearest bike shop had in stock. Worked perfectly.(y)

Managed to break a rear spoke on my Rail on the weekend (just riding along!). Anyone know the correct replacement spoke length for Bontrager Line Comp 30 29er Boost Rear Wheel? I've measured it at 280mm based on the broken spoke and I'm too lazy to take another good one out of the wheel to...

DT Swiss HX-531. It is basically an EX-511 which spent a few weeks at the gym bulking up. Same excellent profile and shape just a thicker extrusion and more metal where the spoke nipples enter to deal with the extra loads of e-bikes.

Election that day. Vote early if you intend to go on this.

I mainly did it as a pre-emptive measure right from when the bike was new given the stock Bontrager rims reputation for being made of cheese (and not a particularly hard cheese) that I have previously had problems with on a Trek Remedy I owned that I managed to beat up quite easily despite being...

I almost always remove my Rail battery to charge as my bike is outside in my shed without power and I can charge indoors plus batteries are supposed to like being kept at room temperature better than in potentially cold conditions outside.

Yes, done with my Rail 9.8. I removed the plastic Bontrager rim strips and taped the rims with Stans rim tape. No problem at all with getting both the stock 2.6 Bontrager SE5 tyres to seat up nicely and also 2.6 Minion DHF and DHR2 at a later date. I used Cushcore Pro and did both wheels.

You can most likely get the mounting hardware to change from a trunnion mount to eyelet. As already mentioned, you will most likely want to have the shock stroke reduced to 57.5 (or possibly 60 I've heard anecdotally). The other thing to check is that the piggy back reservoir doesn't hit the...

I always used to like the Stan's No Tubes recommendation to take your body weight in pounds and divide this by seven then subtract one psi front and add two psi rear when I was running 23 IW rims with 2.3 tyres. Now that most people are running something around 30 IW rims this is too high. At...

In a similar vein, I've bodged it using a shoe lace out on the trail before.

I've recently bought one of these: https://www.blackburndesign.com/p/tradesman-bike-multi-tool/

With the bike turned off, hold down both the + and - buttons on the Purion display and then push the power button. The display will then begin scrolling through the version numbers for all the hardware and firmware. Edit: version 1.1.0.0 or higher will be 85Nm.

For more non-scientific nonsense on the same topic, a mate and I made the video below:
