    The Womens EMTB Thread - come on in ladies!

    nice Work! Once we moved up to the 3 bike Thule Easyfold it works much better. There’s more places to mount the clamp on the frame. I still have anxiety about it though and have an extra strap I attach - just in case!!

    Fork recommendations for e140 400

    yeh I’ve got the fox 34 performance on now and it’s night and day. rear shock replaced under warranty but I’ll be looking for a matching Fox shock at some point. There’s no stock anywhere. and yes Merida - surely it wouldn’t cost much more to add slightly better fork/shock combo. For $6200 AUD...

    So I found a used but new (it was removed off a brand new bike) Fox 34 Performance 150mm fork for the front... came off a Levo! So that will be fitted next week. My rear shock failed. Its being replaced under warranty, so waiting for the new unit to arrive. Thinking I could do as above and...

    Thank you so much Studley. I really appreciate your help. With my rear shock, I'm not sure if its kaput or a rebuild could sort it out. I'll ask the shop today. Be better to put the $ into the fork I suppose.

    Merida e140 Thread

    yes those 3 headed spikes things destroyed my last set of tyres. So LBS recommended I got with the exo casing & tubeles. Not sure it suits my riding though. Might have been better putting in Tannus Armour I think. Yes I don’t feel comfortable having a drink whilst I’m rolling, it’s a tight fit...

    Levo Gen 2 Got mugged with baseball bats Broke 5 ribs Need an answer

    Why not just hire a stationary bike for a month? You can't really fall off it, you dont mess with your Levo and you can get your fitness up slowly and safely. Its boring I know but at least you can't have a dog run out or some other freak incident that results in you hurting yourself before...
