There seems to be two coaches for the warm ups and cool downs, a male and a female one. I MUCH prefer the female coach’s warm ups and cool downs (I feel like the guy rushes through them all so quick I have to constantly pause and rewind)
Is there a way to adjust it so I just get the woman each time? It’s always such a disappointment when I open a warm up or cool down and it’s him 🤣
Hello I am looking for some ideas for specific items I can get my niece for her tenth birthday. I’m in the UK.
She adores Taylor Swift and so I thought getting her a Taylor Swift looking outfit would be cool! Can anyone suggest any specific pieces I can get for her? I don’t have a specific outfit in mind but maybe it’d be cool to give her a photo of TS along with the clothes that recreate that outfit?
I am not particularly fashion-minded so I’m not sure what the most up-to-date TS everyday style is!
Thanks for any and all suggestions!
Edit to add: budget I guess up to £100 altogether?
Hello bike gurus, please help me get the right spring for my MTB suspension please!
I have a medium Deviate Highlander 140 which I bought used. It came with an EXT Storia Lok V3 rear shock. This was fitted with a 450lbs spring.
I weigh 75kg. Shock stroke 55mm. 140mm travel.
I think I want a 400lbs spring. But I have absolutely no idea which one! I’m in the UK, can someone more knowledgeable than me please send me a link to the spring that will fit my bike?
We’ve rented a house for the weekend for 9 adults and 2 infants. We’ve arrived and found that there is no soap in any of the 3 bathrooms, there is about 1/2 a toilet roll in each bathroom and not a single one in the house to refill them when they’re used. There is no washing up liquid, no kitchen roll. The place is “pet friendly”, though we didn’t bring a pet, we anticipated it would be clean - the rugs and sofas have black dog hair on them. When we got the hoover out to deal with this ourselves we found the hoover doesn’t work. There was a load of washing in the washing machine and there is a pile of dirty washing on the floor waiting to go in.
We don’t have an alternative, we have 3 families from totally different places meeting here so we have to stay the weekend, but I feel like we should not be paying the full rate. Am I being unreasonable to think this? Should it be pay in full and stay or demand a refund and leave?
Bit random… I’m on a half marathon training plan, not because I am doing a half marathon, purely for my own training plan. This isn’t something I particularly want to share with people, it’s my own private goal.
Can I make it that when I upload the run to Strava it doesn’t have the Runna logo and say “First run: half marathon training plan”?
I don’t want people to see this it’s only for me!
Booked a trip to go to Bikepark Wales on Tuesday and Wednesday, accommodation paid for close by, just found out it won’t be open either day. Pretty devastated, before we cancel the trip, is there anywhere else nearby that’s worth us making the 8 hour drive for? Our accommodation is 15 minutes from BPW, supposed to be there from Monday to Friday so could still ride BPW on Thursday but it’s not worth the trip for just one day of riding.
Got a few days at Bikepark Wales coming up (first time so very excited!) and wondering whether as an intermediate rider I’d benefit at all from renting a downhill bike? I’ll be taking my enduro bike so was thinking maybe one or two days I could “upgrade” to a DH, but I’ve never ridden a DH bike before so I’ve no idea if it’s worth it for an intermediate?!
I mostly ride reds and blacks (in Scotland) but I think the blacks at BPW might be a bit gnarlier/beefier than what I’m used to so probably will be mainly on blues and reds when I’m there.
Feels like every 2nd post is about which halls are best at the uni. Perhaps a megathread would be better for these so the same question wasn’t getting asked repeatedly!
Anyone ever had this?
Employer was in a car accident, suffered an injury that resulted in them being off work. They sued the other driver using Digby Brown.
Part of their contract with us is that if they receive sick pay or wages from us while absent and then successfully claim for lost earnings in court, then they must pay back the amount that we paid them during their absence.
DB have written to us saying that our employee has received a payout and that they understand they are contractually obliged to pay us back the £3k in pay they received during their absence, because DB are charging them 20% do we agree to only recover £2400 to “ensure our client isn’t unfairly prejudiced between contractual obligations to repay sick pay and the success fee agreement with DB solicitors.”
I basically feel like I’m having to pay £600 of the employees fee to DB! But I’m feeling a bit stuck because I’m sure DV have told the employee “oh don’t worry we’ll just write them a letter and most employers agree to ask for 20% less back”
If they don’t want their client to be “unfairly prejudiced” then they can pay them the £600 back!! I’m assuming their not writing to the car garage and saying “go and just charge them 20% less to fix the car”
Am I just being a Scrooge?!
Me again, with a different question about a different Levo! (Partner and I both have Levos and they both started acting up this past month)
This issue is that the bike just completely cuts out occasionally, loses all power to TCU and motor. Sometimes mid ride, sometimes after a break it won’t switch back on. He has to unplug the battery a few times and it’ll switch on and off and on and off until eventually it’ll stay on for a while. Other times he can do a full day with no issues.
LBS reckoned it was the harness so they replaced that. I’m certain it’s not the harness because we sometimes swap batteries and twice when his battery has been in my Levo the problem has happened on mine (but only with his battery). We have never had any issues charging the battery, and when it was in the shop the mechanic plugged the battery into his laptop and said it was all coming back basically perfect.
Since replacing the harness the fault is pretty much the same except now a warning message briefly flashes up on the screen before it cuts out.
Is this a faulty battery?
Hello!
I bought my Levo the day it became available in the summer of 2024. I love it.
I have had no issues since then, until now… 1000 miles on the odometer.
About a month ago I took it for a ride, managed one climb and one downhill no issues, then stopped to take a layer off and have a snack. I didn’t turn the bike off but 5-10 mins later when I went to get going again it was showing an error message on the display, it said “check app” the app showed the error message in the photo.
I switched the bike off and on again, the error message on the TCU was cleared and the bike appeared to be working fine - display was normal. But when I pedalled I got no motor assist. The TCU was on as normal, I could switch between eco/trail/turbo but absolutely nothing from the motor. Obviously I tried switching the bike off and on again, unplugged battery, actually removed the battery, nothing changed. The TCU would switch on but the motor didn’t do anything. But Walk mode worked as normal. I assumed some sort of torque sensor failure?
The next day the bike worked like normal.
Took the bike to my local Spec dealer, the mechanic said probably a firmware issue. Not sure exactly what he did - updated the software? Not sure! But he was VERY confident it was “firmware”, and not a torque sensor issue.
Rode the bike a few times since, the error hasn’t repeated.
I went out this weekend and I felt that the power assist I was getting was inconsistent. Felt like there was no difference between eco and trail, but at other times I felt like I was putting zero effort into pedalling in trail and the bike was zooming along. Wasn’t sure if it was just me or it was actually happening. Then towards the end of the day with the bike in Trail mode it fully took off on its own, my feet not even on the pedals, the bike accelerated up to max speed before I put the brakes on. It carried on going despite me putting the brakes on. When it came to a stop (due to my braking) I jumped off and thought the motor had stopped and then when I took my fingers off the brakes the bike TOOK OFF and dragged me along.
Do you think this is related to the issue earlier in the month or two unrelated issues? I will be taking it back to the dealer of course but interested to know if this is a known fault/issue or if anyone has any ideas what it could be before I go.
