    Review SicoMTB - perfect rear mudguard!

    The rubber sleeve on the dropper is the BikeYoke Willy. While it may look nice and sleek, I cannot recommend it. As several riders have experienced, mine tore after just seven rides around the seat clamp bolt (see the photo below). I had hoped for a longer lifespan from this €10 piece of fancy...

    Review SicoMTB - perfect rear mudguard!

    Thanks for sharing your feedback on the rear fender. It's important to note that while mudguards play a crucial role in minimizing debris from hitting the rider, their primary function is to protect the bike itself. I appreciate your perspective on the need for extended coverage to shield both...

    Levo Gen 3 Cascade Link 2022+ Levo Long Shock Kit

    My bike started making a crazy creaking noise that sounded almost like a cracked frame or loose headset. You can listen to it here: creaking shock/frame The noise was only audible while compressing the rear suspension, so I removed the shock (Öhlins TTXm.2), disassembled, cleaned, and...

    So, did you keep or sell your non eMTB? Any regrets?

    I kept my 26" non-EMTB (Liteville 601) because that was my dream build, and I have so many good memories with it. However, I have not ridden it since I got eBike.

    Hot melt wax - the journey begins

    According to experts in immersive chain waxing, such as ZFC (Zero Friction Cycling), it is advised not to wax the quick link. This is because waxing the quick link can make it more difficult to connect the chain and may even lead to link failure (see video below).

    The testing of the freshly installed Sicomtb Products rear mudguard and BikeYoke Willy couldn't have been better. As I reached the summit, it began to rain, and it continued all the way down the muddy slope. Naturally, when I reached the car park, the rain stopped, and the sun emerged. I then...

    I'd like to share my feedback and concerns regarding the mudguard produced by the German company, Lieb Speed aka V4-Facory. Upon receiving the mudguard, I noticed that it seems to be slightly short in the bottom bracket area, as depicted in the attached photo. I had expected it to offer more...

    Hot melt wax - the journey begins

    In my 25-year "bike career," I've tried many different chain lubes: wet, dry, graphene infused, drip wax, etc. However, in the end, all of them, more or less, led to a dirty and gunky drivetrain. So, I finally decided to join the Hot Wax gang. At the same time I upgraded the cassette and...

    DT Swiss HX 1700 vs. Custom Build

    Good effort! It's been about 20 years since I've built my last wheel, it was more popular/normal back then. I think I became too lazy for that. 😉

    DT Swiss HX 1700 vs. Custom Build

    Thanks a ton for sharing your experience with the DT Swiss HX 1700 Hybrid wheelset! Your point about the 30mm internal diameter being more suitable for tire widths on the Levo caught my attention. I was initially leaning towards the 35mm rim width, but your perspective has me reconsidering...
