I use the gray Yoshi and it's a well made bag. The gray looks good IMO. I bought all my Racktime stuff from this store: https://carsoncitybikeshop.com Both selection, availability and shipping were good.

IIRC the old Mission Control app for my Levo had an acceleration setting and if it was set high, you could fell the bike rapidly take off or surge forward. The new app has a "responsiveness" setting for the Levo that I don't see in the SL app. So, I'm just theorizing that the "ease" setting...

You might try adjusting the tune in the app. Your Turbo setting might be 100% for the "ease" mode. In the newer app, slide the Turbo adjustment so the "ease" is perhaps 50% with 100% power. Use that as a starting point and keep experimenting with that adjustment until you find your sweet spot...

I had a similar problem on my Levo. I couldn't get the seat low enough for a proper riding fit as the dropper post couldn't be lowered further without the activation lever being compressed. You might be able to get the seat post lower by doing what I did or have the LBS do it for you: Remove...

Well, that's a bummer. I had a new 32H wheel built and changed my SL over to Shimano. So, I have a stock wheel assembly that's available if you're interested. Sorry, I can't help ya on the cone spec. Good Luck!

What if you just drop off the wheel? Sometimes just dropping off the part instead of the whole bike, which takes up space, they'll get you fixed up sooner. Where in the US are you located?

I did this switch over on my 4.0SL and I'm really pleased with the results, mainly due to the hills I have to climb. So, here's my thoughts per item: 1. That looks good. Maybe you could email or call DT Swiss for confirmation. I built a whole new 32 spoke wheel with a Shimano hub to get the...

Searching for MTB Armour will give plenty of products to check out and overload on. Usually, MTB gear is designed with more breathability and movement in mind than MC armour. If you want to minimize the Transformer look, a lightweight fishing shirt works pretty well worn over the armour. Look...

The Dianese vents extremely well. Sometimes, in the winter, I wish it vented less so I use a skull cap to keep warm. Summertime where I'm at gets really hot and wearing it doesn't seem any worse than my regular helmet. I'm 85% mountain biking so exerting myself much harder than when riding on my...

That's weird. It opens to the helmet for me. If it doesn't, there is a bike category to click on and then sub-categories that includes helmets among other things.

For your consideration, take a look at the Dianese Linea 01 MIPS. It's lightweight yet has many of the certifications you might be looking for. It comes with three sets of fitment pads that allows you to custom fit it to your head. IMO, the quality is outstanding. Also, their shipment and...

I wasn't over-politicalizing it any more than you just did. I doubt we can discuss these issues without them being in the shadows of politics. But you're correct & I was wrong, as I dug a little deeper, America is still a net exporter ...

The USA was a net energy exporter under the last administration. The strategic goal of being energy independent had been met until the current admin reversed it under the guise of environmental protection while concurrently drawing down the strategic oil reserves to dangerous levels. EV's...

It's unfortunate that your friend might have to replace the rack on the EQ. But one plus about changing it is the carrying capacity would increase. The weak spot of the EQ is the fender mounted rack. The fender offers lower structural support and starts to flex. or worse, if overloaded. IIRC...

You can still use a seat post clamp with the extra threads. Just mount it above the proprietary Specs clamp but you might have to shim it with a thin strip of rubber.
