    Dodging the lynching

    I use strava every time logged as a normal bike otherwise I can't compare against my mate's times. Having said that none of us are interested in climbing segments - it's all about the downhill times. My mates have been amazed that my Levo leaves them for dead on the downhills mainly as fitness...

    Hi, considering an Ebike, can it replace my current bike??

    By comparison, I've done Whites on my Capra and that's about the limit of my fitness. On my Levo I usually do W2 in about the same time I used to do Whites, and all my downhill section PBs have been on the Levo not the Capra.

    Help me choose a bike!

    Local shop would only take my Capra in px for a piss taking amount. So I sold it private for 1800 and lost only 600 quid on it from brand new as I bought it in 2015 when exchange rate was excellent. 3 years and about 1500 miles of riding for 600 quid - don't think the Levo will prove such good...

    Help me choose a bike!

    I replaced a 2015 Capra comp carbon with my 2018 Levo comp carbon (can u see a pattern here ?). What I did was build a shortlist then rented out the final 3 contenders from Leisurelakes over 3 consecutive weekends. 85 quid each for a full day anywhere you like - I took all 3 to Gisburn so I...

    It would be an interesting exercise to see if the shorter but steeper route actually results in less battery drain than the flatter but longer route.

    Hi all, Build your own EMTB

    I've considers converting a fat bike I've got lying around so the wife could use it. But I know I wouldn't have the time to build it and she probably wouldn't use it anyhow.

    Another North Manchester newbie

    Hi all. I'm Mark from just outside Manchester, aged 56. Had my 2018 comp carbon since the first shipment to LeisureLakes in August 2017, so almost a year. In that time I've done almost a thousand miles on it, mainly at trail centres. Ride most at Llandegla, Lee Quarry and Gisburn but work away...
