    Knee Pads in 2024

    knee/shin are better particularly if hardshell, as they cant be dragged down your leg as easily. Mine have saved me more times than I care to remember: https://ixs.com/en/mtb/mtb-equipment/protection/3024/cleaver-knee-shin-guards-black

    Does your SRAM chain gap screw adjust itself?

    mine was always doing it. Loctite. Or replace everything with Shimano XT, better option I've found :-)

    Levo Gen 3 Power issues 22 Levo

    Yes several have had warranty batteries. Mine was tested on the specialized battery testing rig thing, and it passed. I had the 3rd flashing light symptom too. It would randomly not turn on, it never failed once on though. Issue went away after a new warranty battery . I don't see how...

    Discounted Bike and parts Thread - cheap(er) ebikes & stuff

    Or you could call the phone number and ask to look at the bike at their "shop" :-)

    Discounted Bike and parts Thread - cheap(er) ebikes & stuff

    They are also selling an unusual collection of mobility scooters and sheds. The business address is a residential address, and with only a mobile phone number. Presumably this is someone importing and directing stuff straight to consumers, or is it all some sort of scam?

    Levo SL Gen 1 Levo SL Gen 1 Shifter cable routing

    They must have removed them on the SL to save 0.0000001g weight. you could remove the shock, and rotate the rear triangle to see if it frees off, most of the friction seemed to come from where it comes out of the main frame/motor area and into the chain stay.

    Hot melt wax - the journey begins

    Does the chain not still feel gritty after that though? if you twist the links, does it graunch with the grit, or does it feel completely smooth? Might have to give this a go!

    Hot melt wax - the journey begins

    what are you doing in between rides? Surely mud/sand etc is still getting into the chain, how are you getting that out without removing the wax?

    Levo SL Gen 1 Levo SL Gen 1 Shifter cable routing

    are you aware there are cable clips under the shock that needs to be removed or at least loosened?

    Levo Gen 2 Help choosing between air or spring shock

    I put an Ohlins TTX on after my 3rd air shock failure. This was pretty much my experience too. Makes the back end feel track the ground more closely.

    Levo Gen 3 Rear shock can scored?

    For £57 I don't think its worth your time to mess about with. Just buy a new one and put it down to experience. Note that not all shops charge for warranty work like that. I've had loads and paid no claim charges.

    Ebike motor centre

    Thats kind of where I'm at nowadays - just dont wash it at all. Causes too many problems! Only thing I keep clean is the chain/cassette. The frame and suspension get a wipe with a damp cloth, that's it.

    Bulltrack ebike price rises for ebikes.

    Its kind of annoying but I go a lot of times a season so it doesn't work out a lot per visit. The lack of maintenance is beginning to annoy. It could really benefit from staffing properly. Both to check tickets and do a little maintenance on both the trails and the trees etc. I can only...

    Servicing - what should I be checking and when?

    I would personally check all the bearings by sticking a finger in and carefully feeling for any roughness or grittiness. Sometimes I take mine apart and they have completely seized up! I'd recommend a bearing press set to change them , far easier and less prone to damage stuff. A bike one is...

    Shimano Battery Issue (refused warranty claim) where do i stand?

    I'd second that. Mine goes downhill rapidly about 18%. You can't expect the battery to give full power to the motor until its at 0%. I don't think any battery would work like that? If you regularly use the whole battery perhaps consider a range extender or even 2nd battery.
