I know a few people have availed themselves of a new EMTB on the UK Cycle To Work scheme, but there’s a rumour that it’s getting some attention in the forthcoming budget...

A few folks have asked me about the range extender I made for my Shimano Focus Jam2, given nobody seems to make them anymore and the original Tec-Pacs are ageing. Quick disclaimer, this was built by me for my own bike and at my own risk. It’s quite a ‘dumb’ system on my Shimano bike, not sure...

My old faithful Jam2 sits in the workshop and gets all the old parts thrown at it as I upgrade other stuff. I’m not supposed to ride it much, I’ve got 3 other e-bikes to ride, but quite often I take this one out over all the others. I’ve put some spare Fox 38s on it, and a fox shock I had on...

Last week I went to see my dermatologist, and he told me I have skin cancer. Ok, it’s one of the best sort of big Cs to have, it’s been caught early and the prognosis is very good. The message part. As somebody who does outdoor sports along with the rest of you, and being fair haired and...

Ok, a bit unfair on the old girl, but I’ve had a spare pair of Rockshox Lyrik Ultimate Charger 3 forks knocking about, so thought I’d throw them on the Focus Jam2. I was going to sell them, but they wouldn’t fetch much so thought I’d keep them as a service pair, but they’re a bit good for that...

Bike / Product Year: 2022 Manufacturer: Specialized Model: Turbo Levo Alloy Frameset Size S4 Asking Price: £995 Location East Midlands/Eastern England Description Ok, so I’ve posted before about my love/hate relationship with my Gen 3 Turbo Levo Alloy, and ultimately I’ve decided that the fact...

Has anybody purchased a new off the shelf SL1.1 motor, ie not a warranty replacement? Whilst my current motor is still running fine, if I purchased a new retail motor from a bike shop, would it be fully ready to go once fitted or would it need calibrating by a dealer? It would be a...

I picked up a bargain Nukeproof Scout hardtail frame a few weeks ago, with the intention of chucking the last of my ‘spare bits’ on it to make a bike to sell on or lend to friends etc. What with all those bits, I only had to buy some brakes, some cheap Clarks jobbies, and they work pretty well...

Picture Bike / Product Year: 2022 Manufacturer Rockshox Model Domain 29 160mm (with Charger 2.1 Damper) Asking Price £260 Location Lincolnshire, UK Description First up, these forks are not Zebs! I wanted white stickers to go with my colour scheme on the bike, and these were...

Picture Bike / Product Year: 2022 Manufacturer SRAM Model AXS Reverb Dropper - 30.9mm x 150mm Asking Price £385 Location Lincolnshire, UK Description Another de-specced item from my Turbo Levo, a 2023 AXS Dropper post. Hardly any signs of use, like new, and fully boxed...

Picture Bike / Product Year: 2022 Manufacturer SRAM Model XO T-Type Upgrade Kit (Mech/Shifter/Chain/Chain Ring/Cassette etc) Asking Price £450 Location Lincolnshire Description I’ve just taken this off my 2022 Gen 3 Levo, decided to keep the bike as a backup and ‘friends and family’...

Picture Bike / Product Year: 2023 Manufacturer EXT Model E-Storia Rear Shock Asking Price £550 Location Lincs Description So, I’ve decided to keep my Gen 3 Levo (although I still don’t enjoy riding it!) and will use it for a ‘friends and family’ bike or as a backup for when my Shimano EMTB...

So, I picked up a 2022 Specialized Gen 3 Levo Alloy a few months back to keep my Focus Jam 2 company. The only problem is, I haven’t really ridden it much, and the Focus keeps winning when it comes to a ride out. I just seem to prefer it, fits like an old jacket and I’ve enjoyed many hours on...

GX AXS Upgrade kit no longer available, but the XG-1275 GX 10-50T Cassette is. Only a couple of short shakedown rides, as evidenced by the cassette having very little signs of use, 99.5% of the anodising is still there. WITHDRAWN, payment via BT or PP please, latter if fees are covered. As...

Bike / Product Year: 2020 Manufacturer: Fox Model: Float DPS Factory EVOL LV Shock Size 210 x 55 Asking Price: £205 Location Lincs Description Here for sale is a little used Fox DPS Factory EVOL LV Shock in 210 x 55mm size. I purchased it brand new last April. I’d estimate it’s had around 10...

I’ve had a search, but couldn’t find anything. I’ve ‘mulletised’ my Jam2, I was expecting to find no difference at all, but to my surprise I really like it. I ride mainly XC trail type stuff, with a bit of wooded single track, so don’t need the laugh out loud 2.8” stock ‘balloon’ tyres. Does...

I picked up a 2019 Jam2 6.7 last November for what was quite frankly a price I couldn’t refuse. Apart from the charger giving up the ghost, I’ve really enjoyed the bike, but I was never really all that impressed by the stock Recons and Deluxe R shock. I was lucky enough to have a Fox EVOL LV...

So, I’ve managed to go through a front set of pads on my Magura MT5s in just over 100 miles. I did have a couple of very wet rides in that mileage, but I think it’s a record for wearing front pads on any MTB I’ve owned with disk brakes. I seem to have stumbled on one of the most labour...
