Don't panic if its not 120 straight away, you will get there eventually, especially of you are doing exactly what the physio says. A decade plus of physios have taught me that: they know their stuff, trust them, it will get better, it just takes more time, takes longer than you would like...

Been mtn biking since 1984... Had both ACLs done in 90's. Then, both knees (total) replacements done 10 and 15 years ago. Continued biking throughout. I find that road cleats are much less comfortable ( too restrictive range of movement) than previously, so now I use Time MTB cleats on my...

People who dont know how to use bike gears and instead rely on the motor boost to do everything. Plus they dont maintain their bike after use. Plus use power jets on cranks, motor. My S Works was delivered Dec ‘21, has done 000s of km including 2 Alpine trips and numerous wet, muddy uk routes...

Just cannot bring myself to buy such a shit looking frame. Have Gen 3 S Works & would like to update/ upgrade, but never to that eyesore. Wake up Spesh, you had 2 colour ways for S Works framesets, why not now?

Bought a Gary Fisher mtb in San Francisco in 1984. I am 76 now, was 63 & 66 when both knees were replaced ( 15 years or so after both ACLs were replaced after skiing too much plus alpine climbing). Carried on with std .mtb. until just after 70 and then succumbed to e-mtb.I t was like somebody...

Yes, it does.

My relatively simplistic analysis says, all major bikes which are built from components & frames made in Taiwan and Japan etc will increase in price in US, as those tariff hikes will be too large for the already hard pressed retail market to absorb. Plus, given most big brands typically...

I have used a couple of iterations of this WTB saddle for about 25 years. Before that I used to use a flite Ti saddle until I read a review of the WTB saddle. Tried a few others, but for me the WTB is the benchmark for comfort.

Maybe because I am old, I just hate getting a wet a**e, so I use the following combination. The Scicon-mtb guard that stops everything getting over/near the motor etc is permanently fitted to my S Works Gen 3 Levo ( & my wifes, as well). It works , as several have said, so don't try and...

A few light years ago, my first Hope disc brakes were minis . They totally fried on any serious downhill. But, Hope did recommend using a small dab of silicon ( which was supplied in a small tub with the Hope service kit) to ensure their phenolic pistons moved in and out smoothly. Over the 5/6...

I have taken my Levo to the Alps w/o battery on a number of occasions ( leave battery out there) on a plane using BA. BA have a specialist dept that can tell you about what you can & cannot take. I normally carry a few emergency gas tyre inflation canisters with me. They are supposed to be...

Thank Ou812, it fitted easily, even though I had to do a double take on one of the seals ( the single seal on the frame end of wishbone) as it is seemed counter intuitive that it didn't sit on the bearings like the other two ( outermost on link) sets of bearings seals... But, luckily, I had only...

I would like to add to this request for advice. I also have a cascade link for a MY 22 Gen 3 Levo to take the standard rear shock travel to 160mm from 150mm. I have not yet fitted it because i read some concerning comments here about the cascade link when fitted to a longer shock. Can...
