    Weight gain from EMTB

    I must say, though, that bar food is just bad stuff. Lots of carbs, seed oils and in general cheapest ingredients you can buy from your local restaurant supplier like SYSCO. Add some high calorie IPAs and you are really not doing your body any favors. Even if you are not gaining weight, you are...

    Haibike owners, would you buy Haibike for your next bike?

    Haibike Xduro Nduro 2.0 - bought it in the summer of 2020 when the Great Covid Bike Drought hit. After riding it for 2 years - can't say I like the geometry too much, and external battery makes it look really dated and really stand out as an Ebike. The ones they sell in the US now look very...

    Be On Your Guard

    This is very frustrating to read. I know you UK people have different thoughts on crime and all that, but aren't police supposed to make sure this kind of stuff does not happen???!!! As far as countries with strict gun control go, sure Japan and Singapore have strict gun control but at the same...

    Levo Gen 3 STOLEN S-WORKS 2022 GEN3 L

    And I hate to be "that guy" but the worst thing is that if you buy a new bike, they will just come and steal it again. Unfortunate that in this day and age police usually do nothing.

    Thanks what about the bearing, does it matter what side is up?

    Wow, that's definitely something to consider, haven't even thought about it.

    Levo Gen 3 Official Specialized Gen 3 2022 Levo Megathread!

    Well, I just got Specialized Enduro regular bike and I got it in S4 size. Granted, geometry is different, but personally I feel much better on S4. With S4 Enduro I do not get this "oh s**t" feeling that I often get with my M size Levo when descending. Yeah it feels big but I am ok with that.

    Levo Gen 3 Official Specialized Gen 3 2022 Levo Megathread!

    You are right it is M. What happened is that I tried an S2 which was obviously too small and then I got the "next size up" which was actually last year's M model. For some reason it registered in my mind as S3 :)

    Wouldn't a longer stem make you more likely to tip forward?

    Levo Gen 2 2019 / 2020 Specialized Turbo Levo info and FAQ

    Are there instructions on how to take off the fork (and, ahem, how to put it back)? Took it off and forgot which way the bottom ring goes (which side is up).

    Levo Gen 3 Official Specialized Gen 3 2022 Levo Megathread!

    OK, never mind, this is a 2020 not 2022 - so it does not have the option to set the fork to slack... Interestingly the manual says all are shipped with flip chip in low position but the shock is at "high" mark.

    Levo Gen 3 Official Specialized Gen 3 2022 Levo Megathread!

    Got my Turbo Levo Comp a few months ago and a few thoughts: I am 5'9'' and I think I made a mistake with the size, I got S3 (sat on S4 which felt a bit too large) and constantly get a feeling that I will go over the handlebars when descending. Installing a fork stem riser as a temporary fix...

    New Nduro 2.0 Owner :D

    Figured I'll bump up this thread. Owned this bike since July 2020 - by today's standards painfully heavy and external battery makes it look dated, but overall no major complaints except for the dropper post which I wish could go down another 1 centimeter (or two). Has anyone replaced the stock...
