[kcarbon]

hello all

the turbo levo comp carbon a bit dusty in the pic's, as early this morning I went for a 30k ride with a fast group, but no time to take pic's then as we don't stop. then I road 50k on my own to get pic's to post.

Hi mate, nice pics

80k on a single charge?

 

[kcarbon]

thank's mate,
no did the 30k in morning , put second spare battery in put other battery on charge, always do that, after I read a post on the subject. seems to work for me as battery does not log a charge. if I ran it right down to empty it would.

smashing out the km , nice. and amazing country. Do you have an interesting looking stem on ur Levo?

 

[kcarbon]

thank's tmacca, the stem , I just wanted the bar up higher, for comfort also helps over soft sand, gets weight off front wheel.

hi, it feel's really good on soft sand!
I was with a group of experienced riders they all ride at a good pace & don't stop often. was one other turbo levo that had 29" wheels the rest mixture of mountain bikes a few full carbon light weights. I was only one that could ride on soft sand the rest had to get down near waterline with waves coming in. I was able to ride halfway up the beach. was a long beach too. we had to ride to the end then up into the bush following single tracks. I put my bike into a higher gear hit the button that changes power setting twice, to select turbo and went over the soft sand at a good speed, felt easy. all my past mountain bikes I could never do that. sometimes if I got my speed up over the wet hard packed sand, then went into the soft sand I could go over it but was not easy as wheels would sink in & hard to steer. but this bike I can start off on soft sand.
very happy with this bike!

Excelent
Where I live we can drive on the beach (Rainbow Beach) always wanted to ride the bike along it.
As soon as I get a plus tyre e-mtb it will be one of my first trips.. Miles and miles of beach backed by multi coloured sand cliffs. Might even take it for a ride on Fraser Island and outrun some Dingo's.

I know rainbow beach, beautiful spot!
I was up near there may/june , road a motor bike from cairns home.
the tyres my specialised comp carbon came with where 27.5" x 2.8" think good for mud, I road with them along that beach. but they did not roll fast down hill, only reason I noticed is I had a 2016 comp ht fatty turbo levo, that had 3.0 x 27.5" before and the tyres on that ( very low pressure ) could roll downhill with the best of them. so as I had a new spare set, I put them on the 2018 comp carbon I went tubeless run 12psi front 15psi rear, and it rolls a lot faster & further downhill also rides really smooth over the rough stuff.
