If somebody asked me where to ride in the Lake District I'd say make sure you see something like - Parkamoor, Walna Scar, Garburn, Borrowdale as classic parts of classic routes (not all in a day obviously). So I'm asking the Yorkshire folks, where would you recommend if I'm based in Hawes? What...

Cleaning brake pistons to ensure even activation is part of regular maintenance, but not a job I’ve ever thought I’ve mastered. The sticky pistons are always improved by my attempts, but never regain equal status with the smooth side pistons. I tend to wedge a pair open while I work on the...

I’m fairly sure my front end creaking is the well known, “CSU Creak” on my 18 month old Carbon Levo. Two questions if you please: 1. The forks are now out of warranty but does the super duper @Specialized Rider Care cover me at all here? 2. If there’s no warranty coverage in the worst case...

Not very exciting this, soz!! I need a new brake rotor for the SRAM Guide brakes on my Levo but there’s not much stock out there so may not be able to buy SRAM. I need 200mm 6 bolt. Any issues of compatibility by going non-SRAM? Only thing I can think of is rotor thickness, but would be...

Not specifically ebike but here goes... I’m struggling to get an RD-610 10 sp rear mech working with SL-M6000R shifter in a 1x10 setup on my kids bikes. Shifting to bigger gear needs a click and a half if not more on the shifter. Given there’s little friction (new cables) I’m wanting to know if...

Hi All Anybody know if there's any difference between the 2019 & 2020 Butcher Black Dmnd tyre? 2019 - Specialized Butcher Black DMND 2Bliss Ready Tyre £39.00 2020 - Specialized Butcher Tyre Black Diamond 2Bliss Ready Black £53.00 The "entirely new trad pattern" in 2020 looks suspiciously...

I promise I’ve searched for this subject expecting not to be the first but I’m either crap at searching or I am the first. I suspect the former!! I’ve done 520 miles on my 2019 Levo since new. The first 500 have been with a very quiet motor, as I understand it is the norm for this bike. Barely...

Purchased the Stans Dart tubeless plug thingy, and happened to notice this ? Do me a favour! Really?

On a road bike, the no-brainer upgrade in terms of benefit vs cost is a wheel upgrade. I don’t think such an upgrade exists for eMTB assuming you’ve started with a half decent bike. If there is please tell me. Tyres (and indeed running tubeless) are a personal preference. Motors/batteries...

Hi All Just a query. I know to expect faster brake pad wear on an eMTB due to the extra speed and weight involved but have gone through 2 sets of rears, and a set of fronts in 270 miles. Admittedly these have been atrocious UK wet and gritty miles. Is that inline with other people’s experience...

To those that wear knee and/or elbow pads... and i guess this comes from a position of general riding rather than anything extreme or DH focused. Do you wear knees/elbows or both, and how/why did you choose one or the other if you don't wear both? Curious that's all. Lot's riders on Youtube...

Hi All Is there a consolidated list of all the manufacturer recommended fixes/upgrades to a 2019 Levo? I think I've suffered a power cable failure, and when I go to the bike shop want to ask for any other fixes to be applied. I've heard about - power cables, pivot mud guards, dropper posts...

Any comments/experience on people using Openmtbmap.org - Mountainbike and Hiking Maps based on Openstreetmap on Garmin (I've get an Edge 1030) for OS mapping? Are there any "Go-to" sources for OS mapping on Garmins? If needs be I'll purchase maps from Garmin, but i'd rather save the cash. Thanks

Brake pads for SRAM Guide brakes. Hit me with recommendations please.

Hi All I’m new to tubeless and have used the Muc-Off sealant recently to convert. I’d read it out performed all rivals and even sealed substantial sidewall tears. First time I’ve had an issue tonight. Very wet and muddy UK riding conditions. Looks like I’ve pressed the tyre against the rim...

If there’s a better place to ask this, please direct me. Myself and @inwoods are up for some night rides mid week in the NW of the UK. It’d be great to get a regular group ride going. Looking to hit Gisburn this Wednesday night. Any takers?

I took my new Levo and the kids to The Dirt Factory in Manchester (UK) today. It was mainly younger riders on jump/enduro rigs. I was really surprised by the love bestowed on the eMTB from young and older riders. Had loads of comments and admiration. Who was the dad I spoke to? You said you were...

I can only assume this has been asked elsewhere in the forum, and I promise I have searched before posting but I couldn’t find the answer. My recently purchased 2019 Levo came with a firmware version old enough such that BLEvo can modify the max speed. I think there’s 2 newer firmware versions I...

Hi Folks! Collected my new Levo today, so a great day so far!! I’m aware of Blevo for rich data, but have an Edge 1030 already that will suit me better. I’m interested in pulling in cadence and other data off the bike, straight into the Garmin. The existence of the couple of apps/data fields via...

Has anybody managed to get a deal on a 2020 Levo? I guess it's unlikely due to being brand new and a popular bike?
