I wouldn't piddle about with 2 grammes off a stem here and 5g off bolts there! For proper saving - look at seat post, seat, tyres, wheels and by far the best bang for buck go 10 speed.

Truly awesome. (y)(y)(y) I'd just maybe say (for your benefit and new customers!) add 'Specialized Levo Brose Motor Bearings' or similar to the Youtube title as much more likely to be found in a search. :)

You just have to try them - many shops have a try before you buy with a range of saddles. For me it's been Charge Spoons for years - awesome saddles.

That E-Booz looks a good find R120, as you say it seems to be the neatest and best engineered solution out there at present. (y)

With a NW 36t (lots of wrap) and a clutch mech then I'd just lose the guide. I'd also buy a better quality/fitting allen key! ;)

You have a Kenevo? Why not use that for the DH rides?? :unsure:

As R120 says - wait for the new Kenevo. Yes, there is always going to be something round the corner for years to come but we are really so close to so many new bikes being announced and available in the coming months not least with the new Bosch that unless you are desperate for a new EMTB for...

Kenevo?

Charge Spoon for me - got them on four bikes - best saddle I've found since the much loved 1998 WTB SST.

I think we're for sure going to see more stringent anti-tamper software/hardware as the onus is very much on manufacturers and suppliers to proactively block those trying to derestrict Ebikes.

What he said and keep it somewhere dry, stable temp etc - ie not in a shed, garage etc .

People *aren’t* checking them - that’s why they fall off! Depends how you are on maintenance. I’m old school so check things regularly. ;) The plastic caps are like the original Ahead plastic caps. Made of plastic to deliberately stop numptys overloading things. Any issues with shimano 8000...

It’s not a dust cap it’s a preload cap to pull the arm on which is then secured with the pinch bolts. There was a recent topic on this. Increase the preload with an alu cap and increase the torque on the pinch bolts and check pre and post every ride.

I’m a real hard tail fan but unless you’re really just doing gentle fire roads and canal paths etc (in which case a Levo is maybe overkill) a FS EMTB makes a lot more sense.

Yes, you cannot go by time or miles - when it's worn and no longer performing as you wish then bin it.
