Did you get a fork sorted? What's your plan for the shock?

Mudhugger front long, upfront and on the rear

Looks great in that granite colour scheme. A bit concerned that you might have bricked it though.

No. Ran out of money dude. If my fox forks sell then it's game on. I've got store credit at the shop where I bought the bike due to it being damaged on arrival.

Hi,
What is the issue with your forks? Is the steerer too short to fit on your Levo?
If yes, how short is it?
The reason I ask is if it is only a few millimeters short you can purchase a stem that has a lower than standard stack height which might resolve your issue?

Ragley Stubbing Stem Mountain Bike MTB Bicycle 31.8mm 7075 Alloy Black 160g

 

[All Mountain Coaching]

Yeah it's too short. Not by much, but I've my mind set on 36s now. If I went that stem, I'd need new bars too as I'm on 35s.

These are a bit of extravagance. Not cheap £245. Magnesium pedals with titanium axles.

This is my third set, the other two have failed. They are a bit fragile, but look the bollocks and are probably half the weight of similar pedals.

*They do have a rider limit of 85kg View attachment 7149 View attachment 7150 View attachment 7151 View attachment 7152

I had those on my regular bike: yes they are incredible light and thin, but mine got noisy because of the bushings - had to bring them to service too often.

 

[All Mountain Coaching]

I think one of mine has started to fail again. Not 6m old. I don't think they're fit for purpose.

Are other ht pedals just as flimsy?

Loved the feel of those ae03 ultra thins but I had the same problem. Bushings wore super quick. Milked them for a full season but they were extra sloppy by the end. Bushing replacements were cheap and relatively ez toreplace but they lasted even less time. Ended up trying the Canfield pedal. Similar thickness and after a year no problems at all. More grip too. I was concerned about the slight convex shape but my worries were unfounded. I’ll buy them again. They have a mag version and I think they have a ti axle option as well. Might be worth a look. Not sure if they have international shipping . They were ez to communicate by email

I use the One Up pedals, again very slim profile with slight convex shape, big fan of them and now on all my bikes

The devil is in the detail....

Not only do they look bling, i've taken 44g off with just 4x bolts. For the princely sum of £10.

May I ask what size is the renthal stem? Beautiful

Sure, it's a 50mm. Only difference I noticed from the standard 45mm was the rise in it, I had to drop it a couple of spacers to reduce stack.

So I ordered an ultralite renthal 36t chain ring. Wasn't sure if the gold would look nice or not as it's not kashima colour, nor gold like the kmc chains.

Was on offer for £27.

Didn't even fit to find out. It's no lighter than any other chain rings of similar size (50g), it's also not narrow wide. Don't know how much that matters with an upper guide?!?

Ordered a blackspire black 34t instead. Narrow wide, £20.

I had a right blast going up impossible hills I don't want them to be out of reach by fitting a 36t.

We'll have to see if I do need a 36t after all, as I ran a a 34t on the intense.

Appreciate it. I have been debating on what size to order. 50 mm it is.

SHOP CRAMPON MAGNESIUM PEDALS | Canfield Brothers Online Store

I don’t see any ti axle option. I have the aluminium ones with hybrid bearing/bushing internals. These mags are bushings so I can’t soeak to them. Bushing Kits are available though

 

[All Mountain Coaching]

Now that's not a heavy pedal. I'm interested, thanks. Let's see how ht plays out.

 

[All Mountain Coaching]

Few more bling bits. My current ti bolts didn't fit, but only realised after I lost one from the intense disassemble and ordered new ones. So I've got a complete brake ti bolt kit of anyone is interested?!

Great presentation, like James bond shit.

 

[All Mountain Coaching]

Rode over glass today. Nobby Nic didn't survive, myself and bike got covered in jizz. So I'm front to back and new tyre a little earlier than planned.

 

[R120]

Are those the ones from the link above, the risk brand? Saved that link as bookmark in case I want to buy and would delete it if they don't fit Mountain bike stems. Thanks, Jeff.

 

[All Mountain Coaching]

Yep, more risk ones. Different seller on eBay

 

[All Mountain Coaching]

Might not be well enough to ride it, so added a few new parts and give it a clean.

Shorter ti bolts on the front calipers.

* I've got a spare ti bolt set for a levo. 2x 20mm for front and 2x 30mm for rear running 2x 200mm rotors. Pm if interested

New magic Mary for front, put other on rear. Never ran 2x mm. So that should be interesting.

New 1195 cassette. It's so smooth now and the bike is silent.
