Tori's Trails

[Doomanic]

One of them looked to be having a bit of performance anxiety.

Couple of photos from todays ride. Very rocky in places, bike is getting a good bashing :

Looking great Tori ?

Have you ever weighed your bike? I’ve not done it to mine but wondered what the actual weight of the Expert might be.

I’m definitely going to get some carbon bars ?

You can see the weight of spez ebikes here: https://specialized.picturepark.com/Go/KejC9jbq/V/51311/1

Thanks for sharing these videos Tori, its really good to get unbiased opinions from people in the real world, helped a lot when I was shopping.

 

[Tori]

Oh shit, I just realised I never posted the video if the Carter's Track descent ... Levo vs dirt bikes :

This chart is bang on. I weighed my bike last week and it was 22.38kg (multi-tool and bottle cage were on the bike).

Looks like a fantastic app, all key metrics are there... thanks for sharing.
would be great if there was a version for Garmin Edge (I have an iphone plus and feels too bulky)

 

[Beanieuk]

I down loaded this app yesterday after some great reviews so will give it a go today. You video just confirmed how good the app is ?. Loving your videos so keep up the good work ?

Is the app just android? Can’t find on iOS? Cheers

I am pretty sure there is an app for iOS : BLEvo - For Smart Turbo Levo on the App Store

Oh yes!? - thanks!
Although with the new firmware released today, I might be better to wait and see what works/doesn’t work/updates etc etc

The update isn't to your firmware - you need to goto a dealer for that. You can quite happily run the BLEvo app as per usual.

 

[caterhamnut]

Sorry, I meant both the app update, and the battery update (which as you say, you have to get at a dealer) - reading that they may affect some ‘3rd party apps’ etc....?

[npatrix]

Hope all good you and the bike!

 

[Doomanic]

Oh man, I hope the bike's OK!

A sentiment we've all felt at some point. Hope you both survived relatively unscathed.

Hey Doom, yeah no real bad damage, though the bruise I have on my right thigh is very ghastly looking. I've had worse!

[idahoskiguy]

Glad you are OK! We have all been there.

Thanks for sharing.

New bike shed is coming along nicely :

Lisa is handy with a tec gun:

 

[Doomanic]

You do know the scissor lift goes up and down, right?

 

[Rob Rides EMTB]

Bike shed?! That's bigger that most bike shops in the UK!

So true Rob, but we are in Australia! It took my partner a while to get her head around the space we have here. Lisa and I are on a family farm and we have plenty of room. The shed is a modest 24x8m with a 3.6m gable height and 20 degree roof pitch. Insulation turned up this morning, so we hope to have it clad over the next few days.

Plan is to also set up 10kW solar generation and a Tesla power wall or two.

I will update this thread with build progress.

PS - the shed will be set up with a bit of accommodation for visiting friends and riding buddies. Might even suit some EMTB riders if they make it down under one day

 

[Rob Rides EMTB]

Sounds like an amazing project, looking forward to seeing the progress. Love the Tesla power wall idea, that's the future

 

[SteveVentoux]

Amazing Tori, thanks for the videos from Down Under, a different world to us Brits for sure!

It's been a busy week of shed building . . . no riding unfortunately!

Roof done! Phew.... Walls next when the bloody rain and wind stops . . .

No riding this week but I lived vicariously through an edit (from a ride last weekend):
