Lovely wheel, with super smooth Torch hub, in very good condition, used for 6 months or so on Specialized Turbo Levo (also on sale here), but have now got Orbea Rise 29er so surplus to requirements. I bought an adapter from Shorelines (i9s UK distributor) to convert to 110x15 and wheel was...

2019 model bought new in January 2020. 500w battery. Weight 21.5kg (according to Specialized). 29” Roval wheels, but can be run with 27.5+ wheels (not included :). 11 speed SRAM group-set, and Guide RE brakes with 203mm rotors. 150mm Fox front and rear suspension, and 150mm X-Fusion dropper...

I bought an old iphone 6, for £30, and a topeak bar mount case and run BLEVO, which works as an always on display showing speed/cadence/mode/distance/power/battery etc etc. You can also change your motor settings, and it has +2/5 and -2/5 increase and decrease settings which you can change on...

Great, thanks for that. Stunlocker looks like BLEVO, which I use as a heads up display and run on an old iphone mounted on bars - it hadn’t occurred to me there might be a Rise equivalent.

Thanks, that’s very helpful.

Apologise if this has been covered before, but I couldn’t see anything about it. I’m thinking of gettting a Rise H30 and have been used to running 29“ on my 2019 Levo in Summer, and 27.5+ in Winter, and wondered if I would be able to do the same on the Rise. Thanks Martin

Ok, don’t worry, I’ve just seen it on Pinkbike and it says local pick up only.

Are you willing to ship it? I live in Brighton. Martin

It’s a great shame, I run Blevo on an old iphone, which cost £30, instead of Spesh’s in house speedo, which is more like £80. I’ve got a Topeak bar mount, and I use it as a heads up display, and it also has the brilliant interactive feature where I can add or remove power. As I mostly just ride...

Thanks, tbh that’s the same wherever it comes from

Hi, apologise if this has been covered elsewhere but I can’t see anything about it. I’m thinking of buying a second-hand emtb from a private seller in Germany and can’t work out whether I’d have to pay import duty, VAT etc., I’ve had a look on internet, but it seems a bit of a minefield, and I...

I’m 67 and have been riding Levo’s for a few years; I started with the hardtail, then a 2018 Carbon FSR I got on here, and in February I got a new 2019 Carbon FSR. I dropped the stem by removing spacers, and changed the bars to my own Bontrager Carbon. I also got some (cheap) 27.5 wheels with...
