    Query ref wheelsize

    You are wrong, but this doesn't matter as there's no way for me to prove I came up with my concept completely independently. However, this is a moot point since it differed significantly enough for it to be patentable even though LSS was already made public previously. Again, this doesn't have...

    Query ref wheelsize

    Yes, things in frictional contact wear - up to a point where other effects come into play, such as hardening and glassing over of the surface. Some of my devices stop wearing after the initial 0.04 mm and then continue to work what for now seems indefinitely. We are all entitled to our beliefs...

    Query ref wheelsize

    I'd kindly ask not to put the two in the same category when it comes to wear & tear. The problems recently experienced with wear of the LSS planet are specific to the LSS. PLANET3 has been tested to 10 000+ km for wear and tear and doesn't suffer from it as long as it's properly installed. It...

    How many motors have you blown? 2019 levo only

    Mike, point is that it shouldn't be like this even with suspension components. What we're given in the mtb world is really utter crap compared to racing technology that has been around since the '80s in rallying. Yes, dropping the lowers and changing the bath oil and re-greasing the seals should...

    How many motors have you blown? 2019 levo only

    This is all well and good and you can keep a positive attitude as a consumer because you don't know better, or as a repair shop who's livelihood depends on the fact that the cycling industry feeds us all overpriced crap that we gladly pay for since it brings happiness into our lives. HOWEVER...

    How many motors have you blown? 2019 levo only

    I can tell you right away that mine is. But I can also tell you that this doesn't matter in the slightest. The relationship between power requirement and "speed" doesn't change as substantially (for speeds we ride at) as the relationship between power and inclination. If you don't believe me...

    How many motors have you blown? 2019 levo only

    Also a snapped belt/pulley. 3000 km or so, 2019 base model, purchased in January 2019. Without a bike for 2 months now. LBS powerless since there's a global motor shortage.

    2020 LEVO or DECOY?

    Well, at least until your belt goes to hell and you're left for dead. This seems to be happening worldwide, too. Some people are on their 3rd or 4th motors for the Levo. This has become such a problem that there's a shortage of motors globally. So - your "shop support" suddenly comes down to...
