    Levo Gen 3 Firmware Update in Japan: Is it Possible?

    I share your incredulity, I only responded to show that people are reading your post, but believe that they have no useful contribution to make. Also, to keep it in the Forum's "eye" for you! :)

    Are these a good price?

    After posting them on a public forum and bringing them to the attention of the over 20,000 members, I sure hope that they are still there when you press the "buy" button! :whistle: If I had been in your position, I would have looked at the reviews on the internet first (especially with a...

    MicroShift Drive Trains on EMTBs?

    Apart from some slight burring, all those teeth look fine to me. That cassette is not badly worn, so it must be something else!

    Rockshox spares in the UK

    I Googled the part no and I found several suppliers of the 8mm crush washers in the 50 pack, all for about $27 + shipping, but none in the UK. 50 washers would do a lot of servicing, maybe it would be worth paying the shipping? The only UK supplier that I saw was this one that supplies 2 x 8mm...

    MicroShift Drive Trains on EMTBs?

    Have you removed the cassette to see if it is still properly rivetted where it ought to be? I had a Shimano cassette where the gears were in clusters, the clusters were formed by riveting the gears together. On one cluster the rivets had failed and gave me chain slipping symptoms. I had no...

    Rear axel

    "Tightening the shit out of it" is not a winning strategy, you are sure to damage something vital. (And expensive). I had a similar problem and this is what I did, zero problems since. Remove the axle, clean it and especially the threads, all the way to the bottom of the grooves. Do the same...

    What grips and saddle do you run?

    Measure the width and bear that in mind next time you buy another saddle. It obviously suits your sit bones.

    Pic of the Day

    I thought that I recognised that last shot! I see that the tarmac has not got any better in the last ten years. I was there in March 2013 on my Kona Dawg Supreme. It was a damp, and cold day and it got wetter and colder the higher we went! Then the wind got up and one of the lads had a...

    Kenevo SL New Turbo Kenovo SL 50% off

    That may be why they haven't sold yet! I guess when you make as many different bikes as Speccy do, finding some unique colours can be a bit tricky. My first emtb was a Focus Jam2 and the colour was exactly the same as Peugot's Aegean Blue Metallic. This paint chip was completed with just the...

    Shimano 11 speed ?

    One ring will have a 5mm offset to allow for the bigger chain line, or maybe the smaller chain line! I'm never sure!

    Newmen wheels tubeless

    Like too many people trying to get out of a doorway? In normal times, no problem. But someone shouts FIRE and you get a people jam!

    Newmen wheels tubeless

    Yes of course I did. :ROFLMAO: I was also in the habit of removing the valve core when first installing a tubeless tyre to allow the air to flow in much faster to "POP" the tyre beads onto the rims.

    New to Tubeless - what to do with puncture?

    When at School I was crap at Physics, just could never decide whether to multiply by 32 feet per sec2 per sec, or to divide by it. We had the same name for mass as we did for force, and as you say, all sorts of weird units. Very confusing, and the teachers never took the time to explain to those...

    Newmen wheels tubeless

    I have always been puzzled by the fact that people can install latex sealant though a Presta valve. The diameter of the hole is smaller than the size of a puncture that the sealant is supposed to seal! On the one occasion that I managed to get the sealant in through a Presta valve it was because...

    New to Tubeless - what to do with puncture?

    That happened to me once, but only because I hadn't properly shaken the bottle of sealant before I added it to the tyre. I ended up just adding the latex and left all the bits in the bottle! The bits normally settle as a creamy crud at the bottom of the bottle. It needs a bloody good shale to...

    Shimano 11 speed ?

    The Shimano Technical Documents will enable you to identify just about any component. Take your time to navigate through this, it might look a bit daunting at first. https://si.shimano.com/en/
