    Frames for sale? Should brands offer it?

    If I was going to buy another Levo .... slim chance of that ever, but if I was I would just want a frame and motor. I have never thought Speshy has had any value for money on anything I have seen.

    Poll: Brake Lever Placement

    For any motocrosser front brake on the right is normal ... hell, for pretty much any motorcyclist it should be. Oh, and all my buddies that rode BMX when it first started always set up so they did not have to think switching between BMX & MX bikes.

    Answered Why is it believed that speed derestriction damages the motor?

    The Brose is terrible at the cut-off. Starts to drag early and is like an anchor out when it hits 32kph. With the Shimano I could pedal through and still get a little more speed. Waiting for the new Scott Genius eRide with the Bosch to take for a decent spin as my only test was in a small...

    If you invent one of those, I am certain @Zimmerframe will be a customer ;)

    Just say no to 29ers

    hell, not only should they kill 27.5 ... they should bury it forever. Until the marketing guys run out of things to sell the bike, then they will bring it back and all the trend followers will oooooh & aaaahhh all over it.

    Just say no to 29ers

    WRONG. Integrated batteries allow for not only cleaner lines but also allow for not only better strength per design as cut-aways for semi-integrated batteries require extra material to strengthen things but also allow for far better suspension systems while also allowing for a bottle cage. I...

    @GrandPaBrogan ..... hmmmm, I thought 100kph was supposed to be the Average speed :whistle:

    Just say no to 29ers

    Sorry, but several manufacturers tried 27.5 and went back to 29er as it is a far more logical choice. 29er was a standard long before 27.5 was introduced to suck in the trend-setters. One of the funny things I see is 27.5 with 2.8 tires .... seriously? Makes for a much slower wheel and to be...

    Just say no to 29ers

    Just say NO to 27.5 ..... not as quick turning and shite covering ground like a 29er. Y'all got it wrong dude - 29er has been around long before 27.5 (650b). Marketers just decided people are suckers for a 'new' standard. And NO - mullets are not OK.

    Total mindless behaviour!?

    A friend in SoCal lost his son after sierra club nutters strung wire at neck height across a wide access trail. Kevin had just bought him a full-sized trail bike (XR200 I think) for him to ride to school & play on. Sadly, whoever strung that wire got away with it but the nutters continued...

    Highest Mileage Steps E8000 Motor

    No shit. I was 34 or 35 and entered in a 1hr stairmaster challenge and the person supervising was shitting herself as I was in the 215-220 range solidly for most of the hour. She kept on wanting me to ease back before I had a heart attack. When I was in my teens and assisted as a guinea-pig at...

    Chain chat / chain snapping / #E*POWAH?

    Try downshifting and not just powering up climbs Christian. I used to pull chains apart quite often on my singlespeed.

    Here is the inside of the focus jam2 battery , may be of interest to some people. Some corrosion starting in the last picture.

    Ouch. A couple questions just for interest. That is a 375Wh battery pack that is internal? Looks like 30 battery cells?

    Chain chat / chain snapping / #E*POWAH?

    Pretty much a waste of time voting as every manufacturer makes a wide range of chains with a particular use in mind when designing them. They are all pretty much similar really so the biggest thing is to select the proper chain for the application - and no, the most expensive top of the line...

    2020 Ultralight Levo rumors

    True enough, but Speshy had to beat Giant, Trek, Merida etc.I would think.
