Maybe another way to test it would be to get a Cascade Link for the Levo SL. 2-4-1 product test!

4/11/2026 2:07am @Jason_Schroeder or @TEAMROBOT , now that linear is in and the Zeb has put on weight, how about doing a head to head with a 2027 Zeb and the original Zeb with a coil conversion? An artificial friend said the weight of a smashpot converted Zeb would be 2600g to 2800g depending on spring weight. What do you think?

I have a pair of the very first TLD skyline camo pants, so that makes them about 5 yrs ago, it is my most worn pant and they are starting to pill a bit, but im shocked how long they've lasted...it was a product I wanted to bring to market for a while and we moved fast during covid to get them to market, at $109 at the time, it was good value and they fit a lot of body types well. I left TLD in 2022, but still a fan of the brand---now that being said, we had a...

4/3/2026 12:54pm Looks like Wrangler ATG wins! I don’t even know if you get them in the UK. I always buy Mtb pants on sale and they never seem to fit or the colour is mental! I’ve used my jean shorts (jorts?) for a casual spin on the hills, but wear pants most of the year due to stinging nettles which are...

I bought a few pairs of Target golf pants when they were on a massive sale. They're too tight to be casual wear for me but they're some sort of tech fabric and are good for Spring and Fall riding. Golf shirts from thrift shops make good jerseys too. I'm not a golfer, nor a fan, but the clothes work for riding.

I ride in Lululemon ABC Warpstreme due to length requirements (37" inseam model). Been a big fan for trail riding (only when it’s cold- as I hate pants). Extremely comfortable fit and material. Not quite what I would want on DH days though.

4/2/2026 1:57am I wondered if anyone out there rides in pants that aren’t TLD skyline or Fox flexair or similar. I saw the TLD ruckus cargo pants and it got me wondering what alternatives do people use? What are the pros and cons?

12/28/2025 12:29am Forgot my 2010 VW T5. Someone dented it in the autumn and it was in repairs for 6 weeks (terrible insrance company!). It was like losing a leg (not really), but I missed it so much. It's part of the family!

More mates getting eebs. They enjoy it and I enjoy it. 3. Trips to Scotland - long old drive, but worth it for the natural stuff in the Cairngorms...

We had the chance to do some battery testing with Specialized’s Turbo Levo 4 to get some stats on range. I did a test where I did same loop in each mode to see how time/battery consumption/power compared, plus a battery draining ride with a range extender. It was more for exercise, but it was cool (and pretty tiring haha) to see how different modes ate battery, and how far you actually can go on a full-size eeb. I’d be curious to know what kind of range other riders are getting from their bikes. Feel free to list out your...
