    Sram transmission chain not seating on 3rd gear

    3rd gear jumping is still an issue for Transmission. I've just experienced it on a new analogue bike. I raised a question with the Sram technical team and received this useful response: We've encountered cases where the cassette doesn't seat itself entirely onto the driver body or becomes...

    Thinking about getting an analogue bike, how do they compare to an emtb?

    I think the key question is do you enjoy climbing? And by that, I mean the physical exertion of it. If you do, go for it. I bought a hardtail Pace 2 years ago and I've never looked back. I now ride it 90% of the time. My Levo is fun, but the Pace is far more rewarding and it's in it's element on...

    Sram AXS, distance between controller and derailleur

    Does anyone know how far the AXS controller can be away from the deralleur and still make consistent contact? Will it work on a tandem? Cable stretch can be an issue on Tandems and this could be the answer to smooth shifting. Cheers

    Building a better mousetrap

    Hilarious all round It’s clearly winter with less opportunity to be out riding. I have a problem with slugs every Summer. I know where to come for solutions. 😂😂😂

    Levo Gen 2 Hope Brake Upgrade

    The rubbing rota turned out to be user error (embarrased look). I also have the same problem with the Hunt Wheels and have resorted to filling down the magnet. It still deforms the disk every so slightly, so I'll try your trick with the washers. The part of the upgrade that I thought was going...

    Levo Gen 2 Hope Brake Upgrade

    I upgraded the stock discs to the Hope Floating Rotors but I now find that the fixing between the inner and outer rotor rubs ever so slightly on the post mount. Have you heard of this before? I either need some form of spacer for the hub or to take a file to the post mount.

    Levo Gen 2 Hope Brake Upgrade

    I'm going to upgrade the brakes on my 2019 Levo to Hope Tech 3's. Does anyone know if the Dropper Post lever can attach directly to the brake lever (as it currently does), or do I need to get a seperate bracket? Any other tips for the conversion? Cheers

    Mission Control Don't Believe The Apps

    I've been getting conflicting ride lengths between the Specialized Ride app and my mates using Strava. The other day I recorded the same ride using the Mission Control app and the Ride app, starting both and finishing both at the same time. The Ride app gave me a total distance of 19.6m and...

    Good man, we've set that up nicely for you.

    Oh Dear, I discovered Orbea's customisation !

    That app is the work of the devil. Want! Want! Want! Still waiting for your review though @Rob Rides EMTB, and official sign-off from the boss.

    Levo Gen 2 Is it better to upgrade fork or shock first

    Depending on your fork, you can upgrade the internals. It's much cheaper than a new fork and a lot better from an environment perspective as less waste.

    Pace ebike

    Knowing Pace, it will be an absolute beauty, but personally I was hoping for more of a take on the RC295, with a super light trail ebike.
