    Dodging the lynching

    I didn't know this. I might set it up so I can track my rides more easily. Thanks!

    Smart bikes are coming.

    In a few years, everything will be totally intergrated on e-bikes, mtb or not. I think that is a good move but equally I wonder what kind of cyber "interference" might come about due to them bikes being connected to networks. Definitely a space to watch!

    Unanswered Adaptor for my thule chariot cross2 on my specialized levo 2019

    Hi Serge, Never tried but I imagine you could do it. They sell thru-axles for their trailers. You'll need this one to connect the Thule to your Levo I think: Thule M12x15 Thru-axle Cheers Jake

    2019 base turbo levo vs 2018 Turbo Levo FSR Comp Carbon 6Fattie/29

    I think the best thing to do is try them. We've all bought something based on someone else's views and then thought "I wonder what the other one was like?". The good thing about trying them is that you'll know which one you'll want. They're both great bikes :) Bang per buck with anything is...

    SRAM guide re sticky piston

    You could try working the piston carefully but to be honest if it is sticking might be best to take it apart and check what's causing it. That's what I would do in your shoes if I'm honest - bit long to do but will be the only way to fix the problem long term.

    Orange Alpine 6 E

    Well, I have ridden in pretty bad weather and I've submerged the motor twice (don't ever do that :rolleyes:) but I took it apart when I thought there was resistance. Nothing was up with it. Berkshire Cycles, put anti-corrosion internally so it looks in good nick at least. Never had a problem...

    Orange Alpine 6 E

    I have never tried a 2019 so cannot say. I'm happy with mine, that's good enough for me! The only gripe I have with the 2019 is the motor casing, shite gets in there like nobodies business! If they fixed that I'd upgrade next year and get one on a reduction price i think :)

    Orange Alpine 6 E

    I have that one too. You can see the full spec here. My LBS was selling it on behalf of a customer who got given it for free. I bought it for £3400 in October and have been totally pleased with it :)

    SRAM guide re sticky piston

    In terms of bleeding and then set up, they are virtually the same as any hydraulic disk setup. You will need a different bleed kit (or atleast a new part) because the Guide brakes have SRAM's bleeding edge technology and means the old, pretty much universal, bleed adaptor can't be used...bloody...

    Turbo connect display

    I think it is to do with the Firmware on your bike maybe? Check you have the latest version installed. There is a thread here where someone else had the problem but doesn't look like a solution was posted. :(

    Orange Alpine 6 E

    I've got a 2018 (650b) Levo and love it. I've ridden quite a lot of emtb's and before buying the LEvo did a lot of research. I like the customer service from Specialized and my local shop, Berkshire Cycles but cannot comment on Orange in those regards. :)

    Orange Alpine 6 E

    Got to see it in person at the CycleShow in 2018. Lovely to see it - the colour is greata nd yes, in person the welds really POP but that is Orange for ya! Personally not a fan of the exposed motor at the bottom in terms of aesthetic but you'll defo get a lot of look on this bike thats for sure :)

    Crank arm change

    Hi R120, just double check the email address. I'm not sure if it should be "@dillglove" if his name is "Dillgrove". Just noticed that so worth updating in case OP wants to email in :)

    Crank arm change

    The 2019 comes standard with 165mm cranks - I've got a Levo but will shorten the cranks because I'm in the same boat as you (it's been a long time coming!). Can't help with the other question though! It uses the same motor as Focus and Canyon if that is any help at all? :)

    4 hours in the woods!!!!

    Good to hear mate! They're so much fun to ride. Many more rides to come your way :D For a full day of riding, you have you power levels set right. I tend to use low power (20% or less) everywhere except up very steep climbs and that way you get fantastic range :)

    Hard tail to Full Sus

    I can say that I have test ridden a few cubes and like the Bosch Performance line CX system. There was a nice demo at the NEC last year and I spent more time riding the cubes stereo 160's on the test track than checking out other bits :P

    Winter clothing

    I commute and use the Altura Nightvision selection with the ol' base layers on cold mornings. I use Altura Cyclone jackets, Altura Nightvision overtrousers and gloves. Good stuff and good value. (y) Next on my list are Endura overshoes because my 510s get waterlogged like hell and they take...
