    Levo Gen 3 Quick Brose motor warranty question

    Am I right in thinking the warranty on the brose motors on the new gen 3 Levi’s is 2 years, but warranty re-starts if you have a new motor fitted - ie 2 years per motor? TIA

    Levo Gen 3 what hubs on Gen 3 Levo expert / able to change free hub?

    didn't realise the wheels were only 28 spoke. how 'soft' are the rims? i'm a fairly heavy rider ( 16 stone) and ride fairly aggressively on a lots of loose rocky downhils in the peak district. the OEM wheels on my old (sadly stolen) trek rail where terrible and had ruined the rear within a month...

    Levo Gen 3 what hubs on Gen 3 Levo expert / able to change free hub?

    after months of waiting for for my SC heckler order and no delivery date in sight, i'm considering cancelling and ordering a gen 3 turbo levo expert as there's a bit of stock around (already missed most of the summer riding, don't want to miss it all). i don't get on with SRAM 12 spd drive...

    2022 Santa Cruz Heckler

    I don’t think any of the new hecklers have reached the UK yet. I ordered mine a couple of weeks after release and was fortunate to get one put in my name that my LBS had allocated to them in the first batch due for delivery. Nothing firm in terms of dates, possibly end of august. Parts supply...

    SC Bullit XT Air.. what upgrades (if any).. budget is £750

    wouldn't bother with linkglde unless the current XT drivetrain is worn out - as linkglide is 11 spd iirc you would likely need new shifter, mech, cassette and chain - a lot of money for negligible gain, it would take a long time for any increases in durability to offset the cost of have to...

    Rail (750Wh) 2022 Bosch Smart 750 Trek Rail Thread

    have they changed the head tube on the new rail? on my old 2020 (sadly now stolen) rail, it was plug an play when i upgraded the fork to fox 38's - used the exiting headset and crown race. i'm not sure if i'm missing something here but the fox 38's are 1 1/8 to 1.5 tapered as was the head set...

    Bosch CX vs EP8 - real world differences?

    that's a little concerning, i was hoping the 3rd party battery performed better than the shimano ones (although i guess it's the efficiency of the motor) and would find it a little galling to only get similar ranges form a bigger battery - do find it's prety constant in it's performance like...

    Bosch CX vs EP8 - real world differences?

    thanks for all the input so far, appreciated and seems to confirm the impressions i had. i've tried the E8000 on my mates decoy and the Bosch feels a significant improvement on that, so i guess its a case of how much of an improvement is the EP8 over the E8000? is that with the shimano...

    100% brisker cold weather gloves review

    they're not really designed to work down to those temps, they're a fairly thin windproof glove. what they are good at is for the the autumn to spring period when it's too cold for normal gloves but above freezing. the Hydromatic ones are a little warmer but for anything below -1 / -2 i'd be...

    Rail Large vs X-Large …..

    I’m 187cm / 6ft 1 and ride a large. I could ride either a large or an XL I reckon, but went for a large as they’re big heavy bikes to be heaving about and figured the large would be a bit more manoeuvrable. The large fits ok, sometimes feels a little tight, mainly on really steep stuff where I a...

    Trek Warranty and Blazing Saddles

    I had a warranty claim with them back in April after my rail battery fell out when riding, communication from them wasn’t great but they sorted the claim quick enough. I’ve got a feeling though that you can put in a warranty claim with any of treks dealer network so don’t have to use them...
