    Riding in France (not the Alps!)

    Apart from the riding in the eastern regions of France, are there many other more regional areas in the rest of France where people can get good MTB riding?

    Beautiful Quantocks

    Stunning evening ride up on the Quantocks last night - and a fun run down Weacombe. Great sunset, heather looked amazing, deer and stag and lovely trails...and the massive climbs out again reaffirm why you bought an ebike in the first place! Weacombe descent vid

    18 Ledo - dropper post

    My 18 Carbon Comp Levo is standard. I've always felt that the dropper post is a bit high when in the lower position. Is there an option that will give me more drop? (ie; less stack of bits above the frame?!)

    Replace '18 Levo drive train

    Just noticed a broken tooth on my Levo rear cassette - probably caused by the increased chain-jumping . have been having recently...still on original chain etc. I had wanted to increase the tooth count on the front sprocket anyway, so thinking now is the time to do to do the lot - any better...

    Portable Cleaning option

    Top cleaning tip - Karcher do a rechargeable battery powered mini-washer for over £100 - this one is from Lidl for about £35 - one tub full of water quickly cleans 2 bikes enough to keep the car/van clean. Compact and not too powerful to damage anything .... You'll have to wait for it to appear...

    18 Levo Shock issues

    As fitted, I have the '18 Levo (Carbon Comp) shock that has the 'auto sag' feature. On my first one (!) the lock-out was screwed, so LBS swapped it out under warranty with no issue - at the time (about 6mth ago) Specialized had changed the replacement shock to a different model, which did not...

    Gawton Gravity Hub, Devon - Levo

    Went to Gawton Gravity Hub in Devon for the first time last week. It is only 2 miles away from where I am living, so stupid not to! I guess it is the first 'bike park' type place I've been to, and it was a blast. I'm one of those middle age, mildly fit blokes, so certainly don't bounce anymore...

    In-car charging etc

    Any results from the guys who were going to try charging from leisure batteries and inverters? I'm currently working on my van (old school!) and will have a 110ah leisure battery - I'll only be using LED's, usb etc - but I'd like to charge the Levo battery. (I will have a 240v hook up for...

    Dartmoor clip...

    Just a quick clip of a very short piece of singletrack on Dartmoor - had only ridden it in the dark with the LBS Tuesday rides, so nice to see it in the daylight! Great little run for an old bloke like me to repeat and work on technique - I want to get more mobile on the bike now I’m used to...

    Quantocks - Somerset riding

    Lucky enough to be able to flip between Dartmoor and The Quantocks for some riding....last time I was at the bottom of the Surrey Hills 7nyears ago - South West is a bit different. Levo has opened them up - last time, one mammouth climb and a long ride to the car was a killer! Couple of video...

    Rocks! Quick clip of Dartmoor...

    Love the way my Levo can just tank over this sort of surface, but my you have to constantly tell yourself not to touch the brakes ? This very quick clip is coming down towards the Scout Hut near Sheepstor, Dartmoor. Near the end of a ride it really punishes your arms and grip - I’m a very...

    E-bike and car roof racks

    Hi guys - any issues with bike racks (roof or otherwise) and the extra weight of our bikes? I’ll admit that even to start with my set up is not ‘normal’ but potential weight issues are the same. I’m thinking I’d take the front wheel off and use a fork/front axle mount to lower everything, and...

    Insurance question (UK)

    Hi all - any recommendations on bike insurance? Household doesn’t cover it (enough) Getting basic quotes from places like Wiggle and getting figures around £300-400! ...but that does cover in the car etc etc etc....

    Hi from Dartmoor

    Just got my first new e-mtb...another Turbo Levo! Nice to get involved in this new community early on - joined a few weeks ago, but been waiting for the bike to arrive. Used to bike in the Surrey Hills on my beloved 2007 Enduro - been in NYC for 6 years and the whole scene has changed! What...
