    Eddy Currents vs. Magic Mary's?

    I've been very happy with my Eddy Currents but I'm curious if anybody has compared them to the Magic Marys? I'm in NorCal in the bulk of my riding is loose over hard pack however in the rainy season the trails I ride are tacky with great grip. I avoid mud if it all possible so I'm not looking...

    Levo Gen 2 Motor overheating

    Recently I've been getting a high motor temperature warning on BLEvo that I've reached 158°. Turbo mode and prolonged climbs, but nothing I haven't done many times before with no issue. Is there some type of maintenance or service for the motor I should consider?

    Backpack battery?

    Does anyone make one? I'm thinking of converting my DH bike but there is no place to mount a battery. I see guys DIY but I don't want to go through all that. I'd buy one premade though.

    Hub motor on a DH-freeride bike?

    Yeah I've been thinking that might be an issue.

    Levo Gen 2 Removing Miranda cranks from Levo

    It was obvious that I had resolved it in stating that I found a video that described now to remove the cranks using the tools I had. I apologized for the non working link and suggested an easy search figuring most people had the energy and curiosity to look it up and learn. My bad. Some people...

    Levo Gen 2 Removing Miranda cranks from Levo

    Jesus dude I'm not missing the point. I heard you twice the first time. You didn't watch the video. It shows how to use the crank bolts and the outer threaded part of a standard crank puller in a similar manner as a self extracting bolt setup. Look the video up and see for yourself.

    Levo Gen 2 Removing Miranda cranks from Levo

    Sorry about the link. YouTube isn't allowing me to share the link for some reason. Just do a search on YouTube for How To Remove Splined Cranks (Isis Drive/Octalink) With Standard Puller?

    Levo Gen 2 Removing Miranda cranks from Levo

    I found this video showing how to do it with the standard extractor I have. this HTML class. Value is

    Yikes! The reason the extractor didn't press against the axle is that there isn't one! Well of course there is but it's hollow...

    Levo Gen 2 Removing Miranda cranks from Levo

    No offense taken. They are definitely not self extracting. They came without bolts at all. I bought bolts separately. They thread in and out normally and don't remain in the cranks like self extracting bolts (like were in the Praxis cranks I removed).

    Nope. They're brand new. The extractor threads in normally, it just doesn't seem to push far enough in to reach the axle to press against.

    Levo Gen 2 Removing Miranda cranks from Levo

    I replaced my Praxis cranks with Mirandas and unlike the Praxis self extracting bolts the Mirandas use traditional bolts. I tried to pull one of the arms off with my threaded crank extractor and while it threaded into the crank arm even with the extractor bolt screwed all the way in it didn't...

    Levo Gen 2 27.5 Fox 40 on Levo?

    That's exactly what I was thinking. The geometry could be made the same by adjusting the crown height. Yes the warranty issue is a problem and as another person pointed out the head tube lacks the reinforcement a frame designed for a triple clamp should have. The stiffness and extra travel would...

    Levo Gen 2 27.5 Fox 40 on Levo?

    Hadn't heard that. I hear the term mullet all the time. Yes I have a 27.5+ rear wheel with a 29 front. My Canfield which is a 26" wheel bike has a 27.5 Fox forty with a 27.5 x 2.8 front tire too. Mullets make total sense with the bigger front wheel to roll over stuff and the smaller more nimble...
