    Do you mean as in coaching or as in put in A&E?

    How many eBikes have you had/owned?

    Just one. Turbo Levo FS basic. May look to upgrade an old mtb with a kit soon, for when friends come to visit / wife wants to go for a spin to a country pub type of thing. Still fancy an e-gravel bike, too, for extended touring.....

    Wobbly Wheels

    Great reply @outerlimits , thanks. It will help lots of others with the same issue hopefully. However, I don't feel confident with that, and it is still well within the warranty period. It’s going into the Specialized concept store in Birmingham next week for them to deal with it and all...

    Wasting my time with £2500?

    To be clear, I love the suspension, I just don’t really need it and could have spent the difference on a family holiday! Also, as a newbie I was not too sure how it all works and how to set it all up properly, as well as potential extra ongoing maintenance, so it is an extra layer of complexity...

    Wasting my time with £2500?

    Hello there, Just my tuppence worth, but I had similar angst buying mine before Christmas. In the end I went for a turbo levo full sus, however although it is great fun, my cycling is similar to yours and I am a heavy bloke. I now wish I had gone for a hardtail. I won’t regret my choice, I...

    Could be. Maybe it’s the terrain in these parts. Incidentally do you do coaching for eMTBs, too? Interested. Softy.

    Wobbly Wheels

    The play is between the wheel and the forks. Feels like it is in the hub. It is side to side. I.e.if I lift the front wheel off the ground, and grip the tyre between finger and thumb, I can wiggle it side to side about a mm or so. I’m also having motor problems, so I am going to contact...

    Wobbly Wheels

    Hello, I’m posting this as it may not be specific to my Levo. I’ve got some play in the front wheel which doesn’t go away even if I tighten it right up into the forks. Only noticed it about a week ago. It’s a Specialized Levo full-sus, basic 2019 model and the wheels are Roval Traverse. Not...

    Evening all, newl member from Lichfield UK.

    Hey Snowman, welcome. I’m Tamworth, so just over the hill. Can get to Lichfield and back pretty much all on single-track bridleway, and canal towpath, too. Perhaps we should arrange a local meet...?

    Survey: does the emtb make you a more adventurous rider

    As I live in an area without much in the way of hills and rough stuff straight out of the door, I’ve found that the eMTB has opened up bridleways that were previously too rough or too far away to do comfortably in an hour or two in the morning. Combined with going tubeless, this has opened up...

    Take your bike to work

    Specialized Levo. 26 miles there and back. Try to do twice a week. So far cycled more miles this year than in the last two combined. Happy days.

    Tested: TQ 120 Motor. Insane EPOWAH!

    If laughter is the best medicine, then you’ve just cured me! You have ridden them all, and yet you sound like my brother last weekend when he rode an e-bike for the first time! Next level, indeed.

    Improving Fitness....

    It was cloudy to start with, but turned into a beautiful spring day, with plenty of sun and a warmish headwind. Never said ‘good morning’ to so many cyclists coming the other way, as there was a race of some kind in the other direction for about five miles.

    Improving Fitness....

    Update time. Having now commuted and ridden nearly 350 miles since the start of January on the eMTB, I went for a spin today on the gravel bike, round the lanes and along the canal. Strava (sorry @outerlimits ?) showed 3 pbs and 4 second fastests by just a couple of seconds, and I wasn’t...

    waterproofing Bosch Performance CX for travel ???

    Sounds like a great trip! In the UK a long trip might be 120 miles to the seaside at Bognor Regis for an afternoon tea and possibly an ice cream if I’m feeling flush. Then home again for supper. No Rockies. No High Desert, but possibly a bit of the old West(ern Super Mare). Enjoy and keep...
