    Wahoo Roam in Flames

    I am very pleased to announce that Specialised of Chelmsford dealt with the problem. They returned it to Wahoo and within five working days received a reply replacing the unit. A brilliant result and I am most pleased.

    Wahoo Roam in Flames

    I bought a Wahoo Roam in January 2019 for £300 and it has now burst into flames. It was not being charged, or plugged in at the time and has left a severe scorch mark on the table. Although the warranty expired last year, do you think I have any recourse with the store or the manufacturer?

    Levo Gen 2 Unreliable Specialized!

    My 2020 Levo Comp has over 9,000 miles on the clock with 6,400 so far this year. The battery is 100% and the only problem was a split power cable 2,000 miles ago replaced under warranty. This is a huge improvement on my 2016 Levo that ate motors, batteries and even snapped the axel in the bottom...

    Sonic Chain Cleaner

    I think we will all agree that a clean and well-lubricated chain is definitely worthwhile as it feels good and extends the life of the drive gear. The question is, would the investment in a sonic chain cleaning device be worthwhile?

    Levo Gen 2 Engine not starting, only one beep, no led or faint led.

    Every time I used to wash my 2020 Levo I had the same problem. Fortunately, I found it easily solved. Remove the crank with an 8mm Allen key, then the side cover, 3mm allen key. This will expose the cables. A blast with an airline of 20 seconds will remove all the moisture, paying special...

    Levo Gen 2 2020 Turbo Levo Owners Thread

    I collected my Levo from my lbs where they had changed everything to do with the electrics. Apparently they had gutted a new comp and swapped all the bits over. I went out today in my local forest and completed the trip of 46 miles and 3000 ft of climbing without any anxiety. She behaved...

    Levo Gen 2 2020 Turbo Levo Owners Thread

    My Levo Comp bought 30 Jan less than 300 miles now not working. Will not light up. Been at my lbs for a week. Lovely when it is working, but I have a feeling this is not going to go well.

    Levo Gen 2 2020 Turbo Levo Owners Thread

    On Monday I returned my Levo Comp to my lbs for its first free service after almost 300 miles. My only concern was that on my previous outing, on starting up, the lights held red/blue before closing down. I removed the plug, replaced it, fired up and all was well. I then went on to do 29 miles...

    What did you buy your ebike this week?

    I have the usual selection of Muck Off etc on the shelf. Do you think it Is worthwhile to put a small quantity of Muck Off in the 8 lts of water used to spray the bike, or spray the neat Muck Off then rinse? I can do a proper clean up when I return home, its just I don't want heaps of goo all...

    STOP riding...

    Some of my best days out on a mtb have been x country. Anything from 20 to over 60 miles. Not looking too closely at the O/S map but more of following my nose and seeing where we end up.

    What did you buy your ebike this week?

    I bought an 8 lt garden sprayer that will enable me to wash the worst of the dirt off and leave in it the forest where it deserves to be. Purchased online, for the princely sum of £18, it is self-contained and comes with a soft brush that connects to the hose as well as the spray unit. A waste...

    Invisiframe / frame protection

    I used Essential Wraps of Glos. to protect my new Levo. They charged me £120 to wrap the frame and forks and did a splendid job. As they are based very close to the Forest of Dean and they did the job in one day, it made perfect sense after collecting it to go into the forest to try it out.

    Covid 19 worries !

    Many years ago I rowed in the British indoor rowing championships. There was a competitor who I thought was delusional but according to my psychologist friend, who was also rowing, he said he may well be suffering from the Dunning-Kruger effect. Whatever his condition, he was a right pain in the...

    Covid 19 worries !

    After a lifetime of cutting grass in various locations, I can strongly recommend any lawnmower with a Honda engine. It starts almost first time, every time, then you will have more time to ride.
