Cleaning it with what? Pure speculation. I don’t even wash the bike with a pressure hose. Like I said, in my specific case why would I even bother taking the motor apart when it was covered under warranty.

Bar space certainly came at a premium on her bike too. Riding in such a forward position is definitely more of a workout for the abs and she certainly doesn’t feel any strain on her lower back. Her body has adapted quite well and is able to sustain the aero position for about ¾ of the duration...

You’re absolutely right Stefan. I must have been thinking of the Brose powerplant in my Levo at the time which does have a more robust reinforced belt than the previous gen.

Another 👍 for Speedrockers.

You're golden then. 👍

I seem to recall that the QL out front Pro version isn’t reversable like the standard OF mount. You will also have to check that the mount and phone won’t come in contact with the TCD that comes with your SL. It might just be a matter of moving the QL mount outboard. Just be aware that the bar...

Seems to be working fine now.

This day marked the 31st consecutive day of riding for me. It’s actually not as noteworthy a date which led up to this point when one considers the exceptional weather conditions that we’ve experienced. Rain has been sporadic and the timing of showers has occurred mainly during the late...

Installing a phone mount to the Vado SL might be a bit more difficult than say fitting either a Garmin or Wahoo. If your wish is to install a mount onto the stem of your SL, I believe that it just involves removing the top cap which is purely aesthetic. The headset preload of the Futureshock 1.5...

No offense taken. The bike was still warrantied so why bother when I can have a shop diagnose the issue. If they said it was just a matter of replacing the belt, then I’m sure they would have done so. I can’t say why they decided to just go ahead and replace the motor other than getting the...

Perfect. The only missing piece then would be the UAE laser cut skin suit. At first glance I thought it was a T de F onesie for infants. 😅

It was another epic day weather wise as we fit in a vigorous 40km ride. This fellow rode by on his Caad while I was waiting for the missus to finish her climb up the hilly 2km long section on Hwy 11. Meanwhile, west bound traffic was being held up by a slow-moving harvester.

Nice upgrade. The stock Manic Fusion on my Levo just failed so I swapped it out for a One Up Components V2.

We look forward to a similar victory pose with your new ride. Ok, perhaps just one with it slung over your shoulder will do. ;)

Congrats! For the hilly terrain that you’ll encounter, perhaps an RE is an accessory you might consider but give it a few weeks before you decide to pony up for one. Enjoy your new SL and look forward to seeing more of it in the rides section. 😎

Have you considered having the speed sensor cable replaced first? Some cables on these bikes are known to be defective or perhaps get pinched inside the housing if not adequately reinserted. It’s a rat’s nest inside and it’s a wonder how anyone could put things back together properly. If you can...

On paper, the Orbea Rise has the Levo SL beat in terms of power, range and better bang for your buck. With that said, I’ve never ridden one before. I do ride the big bro to the Levo SL and can’t say enough positive comments about that bike. You could always acquire the extender that would boost...

Yeah, I don’t know if many New Yawkers are familiar with the Dutch Reach approach when opening car doors. In fact, most drivers in general likely aren’t as well though it probably wouldn’t have made any difference given the rate of speed he was travelling and the reckless manner in which he was...

Unless of course you rip through the streets of NYC like these dudes do. 😲

What a glorious day for a ride. We woke up to heavy fog this morning but it didn’t take long before it lifted giving us a clear view of what would lay before us. Making our way along the 40km route in a circuitous fashion. Between the Deere and Cats, it was like a mechanized zoo of sorts...
