If you replace your air spring and go like 10mm more travel in your fork you'd pretty much end up with the geometry you started with, but I'm having a hard time thinking of a scenario where I'd rather have a 27.5 up front over the 29.
I don't know about some of the lower models, but the wheels that came on my Expert were decent. Upgraded the ratchet in the Roval-branded DT Swiss hub day 1. I noticed a little more flex than I'd like after getting used to the bike and pushing it harder. 28 light-ish weight spokes for a...
I have SRAM brakes on my bikes - CODE RS on my Levo, Guide GS on my Amish bike. I personally don't like the "modulation" of SRAMs - the levers have to move too much IMO, but the performance of the brakes has never let me down. I thought about upgrading to the RSC versions, but decided to try...
Got it sorted out - thanks everyone! With a clear head this morning, I went along the line unclezz suggested pulled the chain and there was no resistance on the cranks. Put it back together and noticed that the looser I had the axle the easier it was to turn the cranks. Pulled the wheel and...
I just swapped out my rear wheel. Swapped over the magnet/sensor along with the rotor and cassette, torqued everything to spec. Tightened the axle down just to hand tight (def not over-tightened) aligned my calipers and when I went to pedal it was extremely hard to start pedaling.
Turned...
I got them off. Just did the leap of faith and really cranked on it going counter-clockwise. Thanks!
Edit - added some pics. 5 Dev cranks (the silver ones definitely pop more on my Jeffsy, but I’m not going for pop on the Levo 👍🏻)
Just got some new cranks for my gen 3 Turbo Levo Expert and I want to make sure I understand how to remove the existing crank arms before going all gorilla on them and doing something stupid.
I watched videos of removing crank arms on Levos and in each case an 8mm and some elbow grease seems...
TBH I can't say how well it works in the wet/mud. Most of the trails I like to ride in the area either have wooden features that get super slippery or clay features that don't hold up well to riding when they're wet. I bought the fender to keep as much of the sandy soil out of the linkage and...
How is the helmet mounted light? The sideways orientation seems like it might "balance" better than a front-to-back orientation which always seem to make my helmet droop down. This seems like it could be a better option.
