    Full Fat or HiLo: an eeb conundrum

    I did look at weight limits. 136kg on both the Levo and Levo SL so I should be fine.

    Full Fat or HiLo: an eeb conundrum

    Just checked and it looks like an XL rise is quite a bit bigger than a L Prime v3, not sure if I could make it work

    Full Fat or HiLo: an eeb conundrum

    Hmm. I could almost ride an XL Banshee given I put a 60mm stem on my large so it's a potential.

    Full Fat or HiLo: an eeb conundrum

    Full Fat or HiLo: an eeb conundrum

    See this is the crux of it for me. I want a bike that handles well without the weight, and having ridden an EXe up the steep bit of my normal loop (below), it (and I) handle it pretty well. I don't want to blast up a hill and I want to get the heart rate up hence looking at a lightweight bike...

    Full Fat or HiLo: an eeb conundrum

    I've come to the conclusion over the last 9 months that my body isn't going to cooperate with my desire to ride a meat-powered bike so I'm (eventually) going to join the eebrigade. There are a lot of eebs out now and I want to try and narrow things down before I splash money down on something...

    I expect Matt Beer knows a bit more about bikes than you Hambo, so maybe take what he says as written?

    From the PB review of the new Giant Trance X Advanced E+ Elite 0: Zipp 3Zero Moto wheels: These wheels were designed to be ultra-compliant, so Giant’s choice to spec them on an eMTB that is subjected to larger forces does make for a squiggly ride. My past experience with the Zipp hubs has me...
