    easy use roof carrier for ebikes - wait , yes weight is the issue

    Levo Gen 2 Kenevo / Levo GEN 2 - not powering up?

    Press the on button and you get just a brief red flash. Sometimes I could unplug the battery cable, plug back in - repeat a few times and it would work. This got worse over time, especially following its weekly WASH!? But now its NO GO! So I did some searching and everyone was suggesting a...

    vitus Esommet head stock cable protector update

    Don't do it unless you have some good experience. o_O Talking about this: Too much can go wrong, you are best having both wheels chocked while the bike is held in a workstand (clamped to frame), then you can control the head stock while fitting the sleeve. Just done the head-bearings at the...
