It's time for some fresh bike bling. Fox have released a new series of forks featuring the new Grip X and Grip X2 dampers as a replacement for their Grip 2 and Fit 4 damping units. As a plus, they offer a limited edition of exactly 1974 forks not only with Kashima coated stanchions, but...

I just discovered this one in the App Store. As long as the weather doesn't encourage riding a real bike, you can do it virtually in here – even last year's Hardline. I'll give it a try. :cool: ‎Bike Unchained 3

I just stumbled over this radical design when browsing my favourite online store's deals repository. Reminded me of the old AMP parallellogram forks from the 90's, if anyone remembers. Did anybody see one of these Motion forks in the wild or even test one? This one is 150mm travel and promises...

Has anybody had this issue with their Levo or Levo SL? This started in September, when my Levo SL motor would suddenly switch off in the middle of a ride. Then there were many rides where I wouldn't have any problem with it, and on other days – like today – it refuses work from the start. Will...

First up, I generally don't like my phone attached to my bike and prefer carrying it in my pocket or a backpack – especially when riding trails. On the other hand it an be very handy to have the phone in direct reach and use it to navigate on a tour. So what's your opinion on the matter? As far...

Since I could not find the answer in this forum nor in other places online – I'd like to install torque caps on my Levo SL's front wheel, but am unsure whether I need S195900002 or S205900003. Specialized's website simply describes my front hub model as "Specialized, sealed cartridge bearings...

Based on some inspiration I got from another post on this forum recently, and on the fact that it's the summer holidays and I had some spare time, I decided to build something: a nice bike repair stand. The best thing about it: it cost me no extra money, because I had all the parts already in my...

I will be at Eurobike tomorrow. Anyone else? Will try to get a look at all those new motor and gearbox systems. Any suggestions or ideas, what manufacturers or products I should see (apart from the obvious ones like Bosch, Brose, Mahle, Pinion, SRAM, ...)?

I took my bike to the LBS for maintenance. They replaced the worn out Eagle GX cassette for a new one, the X01 chain was replaced by a XX1, because that's what they had in store. When I came to fetch it, they told me the new cassette produced a strange crackle sound in 1st and 2nd gear under...

I know you're supposed to swap rotors if you switch from organic to sintered brake pads – at least that's what I read everywhere. Why is that? I took my bike with me on summer holidays and forgot a spare pair of brake pads and the inevitable happened, I had to replace one. The LBS in the area...

This is going to be another Smart Control failure story – or isn't it? Today I went on a 55 km tour (750 m elevation) and gave the smart control feature another shot. My battery was not fully charged (just above 90%), so I fed Mission control with my planned distance and elevation to make sure I...

I had my first bike brake bleeding adventure the other day. After what I'd read about SRAM brakes being very difficult to maintain, I was very skeptical whether it really was a good idea to do it on my own. Especially as the bleeding became necessary after my LBS had replaced the rear brake pads...

Being the proud owner of my first ebike, a 2021 Specialized Levo SL, I've already ridden 1.400 km since August – loving every minute on it. Am looking forward to interesting discussions, tips and tricks etc. Cheeers!
