I have bought all my bikes from LBS. Components I usually by online but bikes and clothing from LBS, I appreciate the service. My Levo got new motor last autumn, after the warranty had expired, but I got it anyway under warranty. My Focus got new Bosch motor 1 and half years ago. Both were...
My Levo had a SLX drivetrain. First two chains were in 0,5% after 1000km, third a broke after 150km. I used muc off lubes. Then I changed to Peatys and fourth chain had 1200km and it wasn`t even 0,5% but I changed because I had extra chain and I sold the bike. Huge difference just because of...
That`s right.
I was once riding with a guy who had these. I can tell you that our performance on soft snow was different level because of the tires. But if you are happy with these, I don`t arguee with that.
I have Suomi Tyres Piikkisika 29”x2.6” on my Levo. Probably best spiked tyres for mountain bikes, I mean riding and traction wise, quality is crap, they are thin, hard to get tubelles and lot`s of quality issues. Do not buy 2.25” ice spiker pro for a mountain bike riding, it`s totaly useless...
I just put 29” Wratchilds to my analog HT, they were about same size than Bontrager 2.6” XR 4`s they replaced. Can`t say about how good studs will hold but I have 45NRTH Kahvas on my daily Focus Aventura commuter and maybe one stud has come off in three winters 😀. Probably 3000km`s winter riding...
I have Suomi Tyres Piikkisika studded tires. They work really well even without snow. And in snow/ice they are perfect! Only worry without snow is the really thin casing, but so far I have managed without punctures…fingers crossed. Just rode on wednesday and there wasn`t so much snow 😀
I have removable battery on Turbo Levo but I have removed it only couple of times in 2 and 1/2 years. So I don't see any drawbacks on my use of emtb if battery is not removable. But I understand that many needs that option and it's good that there's different options. But one thing is sure, more...
I've been running two season Leatt Airflex Stealth leatt on bike parks. It would be good to have more rib protection, but this is so comfy so it's hard to replace. Specialy because it would mean more heat and I don´t need that :D Really good design and easy to clean.
But some 10kg weight on your HT and go to trails and see how fun it is 😂 I can tell that it will suck. I have acoustic HT and I love it, but wouldn't want one with engine.
