    Joining the club with a custom 9.8

    A pic after a 1200m climb, with a big part on asphalt, that used 56% of the batt using the "Tour" mode for my 92Kg. I did not like too much the SQlab saddle in 14cm. I ordered a 601x in 15cm, and it's very good ! I have tested LOTS of saddles other the years, and this one gives a great support...

    Blinging out my Rail 9.8 - Secus + Flites + Magura MT7's (install/riding notes)

    Alright so jumped 2 feet into the deep end upgrading my rail. Had it for 4 months, put 1300km on it so it's not a garage queen :) First off got rid of the Bonty standard comp line rims - one of the rim strips was clicking and pretty sure play/flex was creeping into the rear hub - cranking on...

    2020 Meta Power SX w/Boxxer Fork

    In case anyone wants to install Magura MT5 / MT7 brakes on a Commencal meta power sx 2021, the 220mm rotor does not fit at the back, but a 200mm will fit.

    Lever Adapter - Guide R to MT5 Upgrade

    I believe you’re talking about the angle or pitch of the brake levers. I’m not aware of a tool but an app for your phone called “Pitch Guage” is what I use. In fact I just adjusted and matched my neighbor’s brake levers. You could record the angle or reference the position on the Bar. btw, I’m...

    Lever Adapter - Guide R to MT5 Upgrade

    Is there a match maker lever adapter I'll need when installing MT5 brakes? Or will the on that came with my SL Comp work with the Magura levers? I can't find one online to order either... I've been looking around on the forums and cannot find a definitive answer. These are the new 2021 MT5...

    Levo SL Gen 1 Having some issues with Shimano rotors made in China

    I decided to install Shimano 203mm rotors on my Tubo Sl that has code r brakes. I just could not get the centerline rotors to perform quietly. I used a 1.5mm shim to account for the 200 to 203mm rotor diameter difference. I had an RT66 that was made in Japan that I used for the front and have...

    An actual brake comparison study

    My rear wheel brake pads in the 2 pistons Magura caliper last only about 1-2 months. I live is hilly landscape and do wheelies all the time and use the brakes a lot. I'm wondering if I install 4 pistons and bigger 210 mm disk brake on the rear wheel the 4 pistons caliper pads will lasts at least...

    Yeti 160E is outstanding (Video)

    I have the SRAM AXS drivetrain on my Spesh Levo S-Works and Vado SL hybrid and had it on my last 2 previous mountain bikes. Running XT on my YT Decoy Elite and actually think the Shimano shifts smoother. The XT chain, rear cassette and chainring are actually less expensive then the SRAM AXS...

    Levo SL Gen 1 220 mm rotor upgrade

    Howdy! First time poster here, hopefully this thread is still active. I’ve recently installed magura mt7 brakes front and rear on my 2021 levo sl. I have purchased one magura 220mm mdr-p rotor and the qm-45 adapter to provide the needed clearance for the Fox 34 rhythm fork. The instructions...

    Lever Adapter - Guide R to MT5 Upgrade

    I think what you’re asking for is the Magura Shiftmix for SRAM. Personally, I use the “left” Shiftmix on the right lever and typically get a set to also mount my OneUp dropper remote lever.

    Levo Gen 2 2021 Turbo Levo Owners Thread

    Running full Magura MT7 set-up on my Spesh Levo S-Works haven't had any issues. Have a few rides on my Shigura set-up on my YT Decoy Elite and braking power is incredible! Almost too good?, don't know if I would use Shigura's on an acoustic bike. If I were to critique the Magura's, would say the...

    Levo SL Gen 1 220 mm rotor upgrade

    https://www.bike-components.de/en/Magura/QM-45-Disc-Brake-Adapter-for-220-mm-Rotors-p73454/ I installed this. It seems to work, but as the guide rs brakes are designed to work on 180mm the brake pads overhang the rotor a bit. Similar thread...

    Shigura - Magura MT5 vs MT7?

    Cheers ? I was going to use the Magura barbs, is it worth using the thicker Shimano ones instead? Cheers ref calipers - are the estop mt5s the same as the normal m5's?

    Post Up your Decoy Upgrades with Reviews

    After riding for about a month now, been able to ride a wide array of trails. VERY impressed with my custom Decoy Elite! The Michelin E-Wild's are a perfect match for this Enduro/DH slayer! Not the best for climbing, but this bike was designed for descending! The mullet setup really does offer...

    Levo Gen 2 Magura MT7 with 220mm rotor

    Does anybody has an technical explanation why Magura strongly warns against using Centrerlock for MDR-P. Recently i purcased MDP-R 220 mm rotor and mount it to "Reverse Component" centerlock adapter and it fits well. Didn't find any reason not to use it. I see that some users had to adjust...

    Levo SL Gen 1 220 mm rotor upgrade

    I have one of those and offered it up today and it doesn't look like its going to provide enough spacing.

    Shigura - Magura MT5 vs MT7?

    You're not going to regret the setup bud, I love mine. One thing I learnt first of all is you need the thicker brass barbs from Shimano as the magura hose is a little thicker and they can somethimes be a bit of a pain to seat. However, for the last two shigura sets I've installed I've opted...
