    SRAM EX1 crank arms

    Anyone know if these are compatible with the Levo. I notice with the stock arms one is straight and the other has a kink to clear the motor. I don't have the money for Hope ones but these are a bargain for a stiffer arm at £35.

    Hardtail e-MTB reviews - where are they?

    The older max max was good as it had a 150 Reba shock, now they've put a subpar recon on it. Great bike except for the bolt on battery. Hopefully they'll change that for 2021. Not sure what the difference is between it and the Meta HT?

    Hardtail e-MTB reviews - where are they?

    On the basis a hardtail is going to cost you £2000 min. I don't think you could go wrong with the new offering (Stilus) from decathlon. Even at £2000-£2500 most the hardtails are going to come with subpar parts and that bike seems to be a bit of a emtb snob killer. Just depends on what you...

    Hardtail e-MTB reviews - where are they?

    Never ridden any other bike on a pump track tbh but on a flowy hard surfaced, man made trails it excels. I had a Kona process before the eeb and I can go much faster and harder on the Levo HT. I'll never say never with a full suss eeb but the two bikes I tried (Canyon & Scott) didn't give me...

    Max Max Power

    Really nice stealth bike. Definitely going in the right direction. That battery would be no good for me though. One run at my trail centre is a 250m climb and I like to get at least 8-10 of them in, that or ride for 3-4hr straight. If they could get a e-hardtail down to 15-16kg it would be...

    Max Max Power

    I'm eyeing up for end of 2020 and that's dependent on Commencal streamlining the battery like they have on the rest of the range. I'm not a fan of external fitted ones. I currently ride a medium Levo which is spot on for me at 5'9 and to work with everything I want it for would likely stick to...

    Hardtail e-MTB reviews - where are they?

    Regarding weights, my Spesh HT weighs 18kg, most full sussers are 23kg. I only paid £1600 for the bike, then £600 upgrading everything but the frame so bargain. I use my bike everyday, trails, enduro, pump tracks, riding around town you name it. It gets air fine and the 150mm travel more than...

    Max Max Power

    Anyone riding one of these...? I like e-hardtails as they're good for everything. I like the fact the max max power has short chain stays and more of a jump bike type build.

    Unanswered Winter tyre combo for 150mm travel Levo HT.

    You say a DHF tread makes no sense for winter yet I see people riding Mary's on the driest, flattest of trails in summer, they are know as a safe choice for the ebike novice though. I find the DHF clears fine and i like the protection of Maxxis so would likely choose a Shorty. Although it's wet...

    Unanswered Winter tyre combo for 150mm travel Levo HT.

    Been using DHF/Aggressor combo for most of summer yet getting a bit wet on the local trails now so need more traction and mud release. The 29x2.3 dhf will go on the back whatever but choice is a wider 2.5 DHF upfront or a Maxxis Shorty?

    Answered Not getting full fork travel on 150mm RS Sektors

    Boom!... guess there lies the answer. Thought token were for forks with less travel and heavier riders?

    No, I have full 155mm with 75psi. I've had what you say (fork suck) on another RS fork though. Easily cured by removing air and pulling down hard. I think I need to see what's under the air cap.?

    Maybe it has a couple of tokens fitted?

    It fully compresses when the air is out, albeit last 5mm but that's to stop metal on metal on a bottom out.

    Answered Not getting full fork travel on 150mm RS Sektors

    For some reason I can't seem to use up the last 20mm of travel on my fork no matter what I hit, jump or drop off... any apparent reason for this?
