    First EMBT.

    You are learning more as you get closer to purchase. This does not make it easier. First EMTB Good LBS support can be a lifesaver. If your cities isn’t awesome, go to the next. Once you find one you like. Use it. Even if it’s not the closest. If you encounter an issue you will see why this is...

    Crashes.

    It’s not called downhill pillow fighting. Crashes are not part of my consideration, at all, not one bit, when my bike is in eye sight. Just ride——clean———ride———etc etc…….. I do consider them after they occur. Crashes suck right after they happen. If I put logic into purposely ridding...

    Levo Gen 4 Spez Levo 4 Comp Alloy

    those are both fine choices. Does one have HBO, if you send it good once in awhile, HBO is pretty pretty pretty nice There’s also service in your area. Does one fork have better LBS support? Can you service one at home vs shop. After much research I went 170/170 Podium/CC link, on my Levo ...

    How are you lot washing your bikes without contaminating your pads and rotors?

    Nope. Just wipe rotors down with isopropyl after it dries. Before you give the brakes a pull. Don’t use WD-40 as a bike wash. This is a counting sheep in bed and my brain won’t let me sleep related issue. Not a real one….. Wash your bikes like your life depends on it. Dirt buildup is worse...

    Insects

    Ticks hangout on trees and grasses. Wait for an animal to pass by and hop on. Hold on with some claws. Crawl to a nice safe spot (nooks and crannies) Then burrow their head into your skin using special cutting teeth and saliva that kills pain and prevents clotting, so you can’t feel it and bleed...

    Levo Gen 4 Gen 4 with 170mm fork..

    Certainly changes angles a bit to add 10mm to front only. I don’t think a 170 rear ( at 30% progression) adds as much height as 170 front. It probably does help balance the angles to do 170/170 vs 170/150, again a degree or less of change for sure. All of which will go away depending on sag...

    170/170 Cascade long travel link Podium Fork (4 tokens, 84-88psi) EXT E-Storia 450spring 170lb advanced rider I’m sure if it does change BB height it’s negligible, nay even the princess may feel the pea. If you use all 170mm the BB is the least of your concerns. IMHO I don’t think any...

    Insects

    A bee hit me square in the eye at around 22-25 mph. My riding glasses saved a nasty nasty non crash related biking injury. Also gnats, smile and talk with your teeth closed. They don’t die in the human throat. They just wiggle around and produce a cough, gag. Otherwise known as a cag. Also...

    Crashes.

    My riding buddy slid out on a green warmup lap berm a week ago. Broke his chest plate and 3 ribs. We ride black diamonds at speed. He’s 55 and jumps everything. 1 little slow fall, took him out for the summer. Now me ride alone for rest of summer 26. It’s dangerous hobby to be sure.

    Levo Gen 4 Levo 4 Sizing for tall guy

    Cockpit style Specialized leaves room for preference over hard size choice. For me it was S3. Small maneuverable (better for slow and tight) S4. Open and stable (better if you go fast)my choice I ride an S4 but an S3 is the recommended size. I shortened the stem and run 50mm rise bars to reduce...
