I just had my first ride yesterday of the season on my gen 3 Levo. Get to be back on it but I couldn't get over how loud the motor sounded. I've spent the last few months on my Ep8 bike, and the motor doesn't even get picked up in my audio, but it's quite loud here.
Someone mentioned that they...
It looks like Norco must have abandoned their plans for their LT Norco Fluid? I see no mention of it on their site anymore.. Too bad I was considering it for my next bike.
It makes sense, considering I don't think their VLTs are selling well. It's too bad though I love my Bigfoot VLT and ride...
I changed my cranks last week and have about 25km on them. I love them (155mm hope cranks). Installed to torque with a torque wrench and just taking them off were still tight.
Today, I noticed a weird, almost bell sound. I couldn't figure it out, but on the last trail, something didn't feel...
Has anyone improved the engagement on their Traverse 27.5 rims on their gen3 Turbos? I'd love a quicker engagement for when I want to pump through a rock guard or pump up that last bit of a rock climb.
Just spent the last hour researching, and I'm more confused than when I started :)
Thinking...
I feel stupid, but something just isn't connecting for me..
I get I need to figure out what weight coil, but I'm having difficulty figuring out what coil. Like if I buy a Ohlins TTX22M.2 Coil Rear Shock in 230x65 what size coil do I buy? 67mm, 57mm?.. 75mm??
I'd assume it's the 67mm..
Thanks
Found an AXS GX Upgrade kit today at 33% off at a local shop. Those running AXS, have you upgraded the "trigger"? I see SRAM has an upgrade kit to make it more like a non-AXS shifter, and companies like LEAP appear to make replacements.
Think I'll try out the stock GX shifter, but I can...
It would be interesting to see what people set their assist levels to in MissonControl.
Take a screenshot and post it up.
I did this on an ep8 forum with my Norco, and interesting to see the different settings people run. Even on the MissionControl youtube videos, you can see different...
I have a 2023 Norco Bigfoot VLT 1 with an EP8, and I love the bike! No issues 99% of the time.
But sometimes -- happened today -- The bike feels like the motor has a tonne of resistance, but it doesn't make sense.
- going up to turbo, it feels fine/normal
- turn off the bike it feels normal -...
Why does Specialized not use the e rated 36 or 38 fox forks on their Levos? Asking because thinking of upgrading my 36 to a grip2 but wondering about getting a 36e which I hear is an excellent upgrade on other eMTBs.
It's in the -20C weather here and my workshop isn't keeping up above zero so want to pull my battery for the first time.
Undid the bolt, undid the connect and it doesn't even wiggle. Bike is upside down, I'm pulling and pulling, wiggling, etc and nothing moves. Any more force, and I'm breaking...
I'm in the market for a new EMTB (sold my Giant Stance E+) -- I hadn't really looked at Specialized too much because none of my local bike shops are authorized dealers but there is one just 90 minutes away.
I got looking on the site the other day and it looks like the 2023s are out but don't...
I'm a handy guy and fix most things myself. For example, the only service my cars get is tire rotations, and only because I don't have the machine. Clutches, engine rebuilds, computer reprograms I do that all myself.
It kind of drives me nuts I need to rely on the manufacturer when going into...
Curious did you already know what brand?
Because what your Local bike shop had in stock?
I sold my giant and initially had 2-3 bikes I was interested in. Now I find that list has only gotten larger and I'm starting to feel more and more like these bikes are more similar than different.
The video is too long I know. I need to work at reducing my content, but I just was too excited to show off my ride.
I've only had the bike for about a month, but boy do I love it! I've sold my Giant Stance E+ and currently shopping for my summer bike but I already know this bike isn't going...
Has anyone here hardwired a light to their Norco VLT yet? 2022-23?
Likely will just get one with an external battery so I can swap between bikes, but I do. like the idea of having one hardwired.
Specifically would like to use a Magic shine light but wondering how you turn off the light since...
Most people suggest I pick an Altitude vs Instinct since it's an e-bike it can handle more suspension. I get this suggestion, but I'm having a hard time accepting it. If I lived in BC then it totally would make sense but I'm riding more trails.
I'm currently on a Giant Stance E+, which is a...
I'm mid-40s, and back into riding this summer on a Giant Stance E+ after about a 15-year break from the sport after a car accident and kids. Looking at changing my bike for next year. Here is what I'm noticing and looking for in a next bike.
1. My current bike is a bit big for me I'm 5'9-5'10...
Heard a odd sound on the trail today couldn’t find out what was wrong..
When I got home I found this… it’s wedged in there good..
I’m on a road trip but might try removing the rear shock and slacking the suspension.. thoughts.. no way it’s coming out the bottom..
