    Bikecrush: new Evil Following

    Hi thanks for checking in. I'm back riding, yeah. I have a permanent limp, especially when tired etc, and the knee is quite vulnerable but I can live with it. I'm mid 50s so have plenty of good decades of fun behind me, would be much worse for a young'un. I bought a 2nd hand Offering, for one...

    Levo Gen 3 Official Specialized Gen 3 2022 Levo Megathread!

    enjoy your gen 3s folks. my gen 2 has 2 years + warranty so I'll stick with it. one gen 3 feature I don't like is the screen. simplicity of display (which I turn to stealth mode) is one reason I bought the Levo over competitors at the time. less is more.

    Levo Gen 2 Any reason not to raise my handle bar higher to get a more comfortable upright position?

    no. it will make small differences to feel but you'll soon get used to it and comfort matters. the original bars on my Levo were way too low (I have long legs, so run a high saddle, and a short body), I now have 40mm risers.

    Levo or Levo SL - can't decide

    I've an FF and a lung bike - great combo IMO. Out with my mates on group rides I take (took!) the lunger. Solo rides, say 60-90 mins, I take the FF and have at it, don't hold the horses. It's also the right bike for riding with others on FF. We zip about ticking the boxes. And come back...

    Evil make such classy bikes. Still thinking of an Offering when I'm recovered.

    You really cant ride an EMTB with a non E biking buddy can you?

    sure you can, turn it right down (Eco, then tuned down) or off. tho if you have the option, being both on lung bikes or both on e bikes is better.

    Flip Chip on a Levo 2019 (flip it !)

    Mine's untouched since I flipped it last year. My advice is try both.

    eMTB deniers, not so much as haters, funny when they come around.

    Devil's Tower as in Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind?

    this is a 6 month injury minimum. it's possible I may not get full utility back though I think I'll get enough. it's OK, I knew this from the early days I'm at peace with it. if only the Offering had a SWAT box! anyway it'll be some time before I decide so plenty of water to go under the...

    Flats or clipless ???

    Push your heels down, flex at the knees - the best suspension there is. Also other shoe brands are less sticky, I have Bontrager. You get 30 day no quibble try out on them. I rode clipless > 20 years, switched to flats when I got my Levo and have stuck with it. I don't believe in the supposed...
