    Levo Gen 3 The worst designed part of my Specialised - is this battery cover. Which has now come off permanently. Any idea where to get a new one?

    Oh is it a know issue? I thought I might just have low tolerance to crap design, but if I can warranty it I will! Bike is 2.3 years old I reckon

    Levo Gen 3 Replacing free hub and inner bearings, on a stock 2023 Levo - thoughts or tell me what parts to buy?

    Cheers - I got it all off and looked inside, looks totally knackered and a ball bering fell out so I'll replace the whole lot if I can. DO you happen to know what the part is by any chance?

    Levo Gen 3 Replacing free hub and inner bearings, on a stock 2023 Levo - thoughts or tell me what parts to buy?

    Hi folks - I am not quite a newbie, but I only recently decided that after the local bike shops all let me down, I would do all the tough bits myself. My cassette is wobbling all over the place, the free hub wiggle about 5-6 mm and is practically falling off. What parts do I need and what should...

    Copenhagen 🇩🇰 rider revisiting after a long break

    New headlights on my Tesla cost me two grand, I suppose I am miffed all over! I get 45k from a full charge doing all off road, up and down the South Downs using a mix of trail mode and turbo for these awful hills. That’s with the maxxis tyres you can see above which have been the best so far...

    Copenhagen 🇩🇰 rider revisiting after a long break

    I got the Comp in Red, not sure how many K I’ve done in a year but I think it must be 4-5,000, have really tried to get out rain or shine! On my third cassette, fourth chain, fourth set of tyres, third pads, bled brakes twice. Had to warranty the first cassette and the dropper once. If it was a...

    Most durable drivetrain brand / parts for a 2022 levo - need my third cassette in 8 months and I want to replace the lot with something durable

    it's not that you're wrong, it's that I am not going to do it and know I am not going to, so I wanted to head off unhelpful (for me) advice :)

    100% what I am looking for. The weight difference between low end and high end is eqv. to a can of coke :)

    Cheap steel cassette is what I’m after - in general I think it’s a con that you can pay 7000 for a bike and it wears out with mild use! I’ve not changed the brakes on my Tesla in 90,000 miles!

    Maybe 3500? All off road, South Downs, I’m not expecting miracles :) mostly in the mud and filth we have had for so long

    Appreciate that thanks - I mean, unless we’re talking kilos I reckon I can’t tell the difference, I’m riding at 150kg fully loaded! I’m going to look this up right now huge thanks

    Before anyone says "technique at me, I'm 123KG and 2.02m, I am heavy handed and thats just not going to change so it's replacement parts made of something more durable than whatever the stock parts are please! I was recommended Sun Race? Cheers for any pointers !

    Anyone have a wall mounted workshop stand?

    I’ve got the cheapest Amazon one screwed into my garden wall and it takes 24 kg with no beefs at all. Sometimes cheap is totally fine

    Do I stick or twist.

    That’s not really true - at least not any significant changes. Yeah, maybe, if you squint you can see a 1-2% difference in those things - nothing else. OP - keep your cash. If your bike does everything you need now and the battery is good you are missing out on nothing at all.

    Size 15 shoes suitable for mountain biking? Any clues? I’m wearing Nike Jordan’s right now and under this amount of mud (pic included)….

    Turns out this was a great idea thank you - I got some low, 100% synthetic walking shoes from China on eBay in a size 15 for £26 all in - a reminder you don’t need special shoes!
