    The Official BLEvo Thread

    I didn't update my own 2018 Carbon Levo running x.22 battery software for this reason and I'm going to leave it alone - it works fine with Blevo enhancement, though it was flat as fart as stock when I bought it. It had no power at all and was no fun to ride but is now close to perfect for me...

    The Official BLEvo Thread

    Hi. I have two quite old Turbo Levo's bought late 2016 - 2017 models 6fattie Comps. They are both running quite old firmware and I'm about to take them to a dealer to get them updated to latest firmware both motor and battery. The batteries particularly can cut out if under very high load at...

    Ebike tire showdown. Michelin E wild vs Schwalbe Eddie Current

    So far so good. Nice and grippy but i do find i need low pressures as they have a carcass and sidewall more like a Motocross tyre than a bike tyre (Nobby Nic, for example) in that it's thick and quite unyielding. I have Huck Norris inside, tubeless, 12psi front and back. Climb grip on dry rocks...

    Ebike tire showdown. Michelin E wild vs Schwalbe Eddie Current

    Ooh i love a two stroke, especially the smell. I still sniff the air wistfully when a kid rides past on a souped up scooter and i get a whiff off some synthetic burnt two stroke oil! Regarding riding i was actually much more enduro (i had a 1989 wr250 Yamaha - evil power curve, you had to be...

    Ebike tire showdown. Michelin E wild vs Schwalbe Eddie Current

    You guys must go really hard to break all these rims and tyres. I am 95kg and have 2.8 E-Wilds on my 2018 carbon levo turbo (so carbon rims), i go pretty fast as i was an MX Racer and am running them at 12psi each end! I am using Huck Norris but can't imagine cycling on them at 25psi it must be...

    Ohlins RXF Fork Setup

    Hi I finally got these forks to work after hours of adjustments since i got them on my specialized 2018 carbon turbo levo. For info i weigh 95kg, bike is about 25kg I'd imagine with water, tools and extender battery on board so 120kg rolling weight. The fork has always been harsh and the small...

    The Official BLEvo Thread

    I agree in principle but, as I find when running my company in Europe, the various laws don't allow this. It 'can' be argued that if someone sells something and they allow the user to fiddle around with the speed and they then have an accident on it that the manufacturer can end up being...

    Rockshox Monarch RT setup questions

    I also put the Debonair air can on. I need very high pressures - 340psi for my 95kg body weight - to have even a chance of decent sag on it and even then it's 35% and I prefer 25-28% but it does now give full travel and is more plush than the standard can. A couple of observations; 1/ I've...

    Rockshox Monarch RT setup questions

    Hi I initially also thought this foam 'doughnut' was a bump-stop but it can't be once you look at the construction. Hard to explain without a cutaway diagram but it sits over and around the casting that the main shaft screws into and the kinematics of the shock are not changed by removing it...

    Rockshox Monarch RT setup questions

    Hi. With the fork I've just played around with the pressures and come up with around (I'm not with the bike so these are from memory) 90 psi for the main chamber and about 160 psi for the top-out chamber. From memory the recommendations are more like 130 and 220 for my weight but I found this...

    Rockshox Monarch RT setup questions

    Hello. I'm new to the forum and have been following this thread after similar problems with my 2018 Turbo Levo Expert. To cut a long story short I looked at a lot of exploded diagrams of the Monarch RT3 and noticed in all of them that a part that was in my shock when I undid the air can was...
