Eclypse semi-metallic disc brake pads with steel backing plate for $12 per wheel to quiet the constant howl from the Levo's Code RSC brakes when wet which is almost all of our riding here in the tropics after nightly rains, & which persisted even after making sure the alignment of the caliper was perfect, sanding down brake pads and rotors and bedding in correctly, and having the caliper mounting posts faced at the bike shop. Sweet silence! Only makes noise for the first five seconds when wet and then perfect quiet. No noticeable loss of braking power even on steep downhills. So happy. The rear has never really had this problem thankfully. Best of all, these aftermarket brake pads cost 12 bucks! The stock brake pads are easily twice that.

155mm hope cranks for the levo to try and stop pedal strikes?Also put flip chip into the high position.

Cheap only if used in private areas
"In most countries, the use of an derestricted bike is possible only in private areas or in specially designated areas. Check the legality of using derestricted bike in your area"

In public areas it could be very expensive.

 

[EDYM]

Still have to heard of someone who get caught for this ?

 

[Doomanic]

A new tyre...

Bontrager XR5s are shit. That’s the second that’s failed in a ride ending manner, even with inserts and 30PSI.

Eddy Currents are bastards to fit though...

Not really for the bike, but I've been looking for a new pack with better ventilation for my back. I don't take that much on the trails (multitool, CO2, spare tube, levers, couple of granola bars, first aid kit) so wanted something with a good hydration pack and a good storage setup.

Went with the Osprey Syncro 5. Despite reviews saying the lined pocket would not fit a cell phone, my Note 10 fits fine. Really like Osprey hydration bladders. They are the easiest to fill or clean I have come across.

Fanny packs were never a consideration. IMO, no way to never look like a complete dork with one.

I have the 10, love it. I broke one of the clips that go across your chest recently and they send me another FOC despite being about 5 years old

Hello, what else did you anticipate concerning saving the geo?

Hello, what else did you anticipate concerning saving the geo?

My Devinci AC comes as a 27.5 wheel size with 180mm front & 170mm rear travel. I know of a few people that work at Devinci run my same bike with a 29er front and switch the front fork to a 170mm travel and say that setup is awesome.

So other than reducing the travel 10mm to help compensate going to a 29er front nothing really.
I also ordered some 160mm cranks from Miranda to try out as I was getting quite a few pedal strikes with the 170mm cranks that come with the bike.

So fork axel to crown length should be almost the same?

Will the 27.5 fork have enough clearance for a 29er wheel/tyre?

no sorry, I guess I didn’t really say it in my other post. I’m putting a Fox 38 29er fork on the bike.

I’ll measure it later and report back.

Nice. Liking that? I’ve noticed a lot of the bike stands don’t seem to grip the formed top tubes. Yours also seems to have a limited grip. Be careful she doesn’t drop out due to the extra weight of an emtb. I made this beast(also doubles as a work bench with ply top for diy projects) it builds & dismantles in less than a minute. Takes up no room at all in my shed.

I bought a Maxxis "Aggressor" 2.5" tiyah.

I bought it for my e-bike, before actually getting my e-bike, still awaiting completion of it's "packing process" from Wiggle. ?

 

[Crazee horse]

Ergon ebike specific seat, fitting today!! ? I'm so crazy lol

 

[stiv674]

Well after deciding to keep my Focus for the foreseeable future I decided to treat it to a slightly new look...

Maybe not to everyone's taste admittedly, tyres fitted to new spare set of wheels for more road and light trail use.

Don't tell anyone but I've also set them up tubeless ?

Nothing! Again.

Love the sidewall look. Sounds daft but it's transformed its look.

Very cool-retro style!

Is your front and rear fender / mud-guard the same? What is it?
