วีดีโอ

Thank you :) we stayed at B and B’s and one hotel instead of camping so we could charge our bikes after each day of riding.

The motors in these bikes are known for making quite a lot of noise, the new Levo sl which I have has an updated motor and is a hell of a lot quieter 👌.

Yes mate we’ll definitely get a ride in! It was good to meet you too mate 👍

@@simplysingletrack4800 not to mention the fact you got me rock and rolling in the old bus James 👊😁👌

Oh really which trail? I’m up in the area a lot so I’ll go back and check it out next time!

Called banjo on trailforks

Thanks for that, definitely looking at going back and doing that descent without any bags on the bike 👍

The trails used to be on Trail Forks app but have been removed now, I’ve not ridden there since so I don’t know if the trails have been blocked off now.

@@simplysingletrack4800 ah ok no probs and thanks for replying.

Ilkley Moor

It’s a bit overgrown further up on the moor at the moment isn’t it!

@@simplysingletrack4800 Story of my life

Your best off going up there and exploring as there’s trails all over! There isn’t like a particular circular route if that makes sense.

Yeh I don’t blame you I’d lose my confidence too!

Cheers mate, the GoPro never does it justice!!!

Yep I don’t even bother going up there in the winter anymore!

It definitely was!

Just about finished the next part now too.

Thanks mate, the trails are on Trailforks app easy to find. I’m also subscribed to your channel, I think we must both live fairly local to each other you should come and hit the enduro trails on Ilkley Moor sometime now that you have a proper enduro rig.

😂😂😂

Here you go mate hope this helps strava.app.link/q780w6ztVmb

@@simplysingletrack4800 thanks mate

Hey dude did you ever find a fix to this? I just got a new free hub and anytime it's tighter than finger tight the seal seems to bind up. I believe it is seated in the free hub groove and hubshell properly.

I have the same issue too

Yes there’s some big rocks in there, not sure about it being liked by Clarkson though.

@@simplysingletrack4800 I managed to find the quarry on streetview it is the area I was thinking of... Ali did a video on the area as a revisit to old stomping grounds to try stuff he used to do back in the day. I used to walk around the area with my parents back when god was a lad 😁

Where's that quarry bud looks fun

It’s near Shipley Glen

Cheers mate

@@simplysingletrack4800 np dude keep making these vids

Don’t worry I will be making plenty more, give the channel a subscribe if you haven’t already 👍

@@simplysingletrack4800 ok

Is that the small woods to the North West of Otley on the way to Askwith?

@@simplysingletrack4800 yes

Cheers I’ll have to go check it out sometime 🤙

Thanks, yes it’s the alloy SL I’ve not actually weighed it myself but take my word it’s surprisingly light for an e-bike! What bike carrier do you have?

@@simplysingletrack4800 it's the Thule ProRide 598. Being able to stick it on the roof world be preferable to taking both wheels off and putting it in the boot. Obviously, being an e-bike I could always ride to my local trails! Currently deciding between this or the Orbea Rise M20. Cheers 👍🏻

I’m not sure if it will fit in the 598, I’ve got that rack myself on one of my cars but haven’t tried to mount the SL on there. If you have Facebook join the specialized Levo sl owners group, you may find an answer on there.

@@simplysingletrack4800 Thanks, what part of it do you think might not fit?

I think because of the size of the downtube and position of the motor.

Good tip cheers 👍

I spun the freehub body anti-clockwise whilst putting it back into the shell and it went in no problem. Didn’t need to trap the pawls at all. I did have an issue where I didn’t have the seal properly in place in the shell which made it super draggy and caused the pedals to spin whilst I was wheeling the bike. Fixed by pushing the seal in all the way around.

That’s the issue I had with mine apart from the axle had actually worked itself loose, sorted with a tiny drop of loctite and had no issues since.

I thought the seal was gonna cause more drag 😅

Hi, I use Eco 35-45 Trail 60-70 Turbo 100-100 I find this works well for rides with a lot of steep climbing.

Yeh I bet I rode up there last winter it was slick af!

No there isn’t really, there used to be a few on Trailforks but I think they’ve been taken off because the trails get ruined during the winter months. Your best off riding Ilkley Moor in the summer and just explore as there’s trails all over.

@@simplysingletrack4800 thanks

No, because you cant legally ride trails on Ilkley Moor. Only the road / track across the middle from Keighley Gate.

Thanks mate, yeh it is tough and hard to find flow but a good place to practice and progress.

Yeh I need to go back ASAP!!!

Was the cassette and hub clean? Maybe grit has dropped into somewhere.

@@simplysingletrack4800 yep. I think its hitting tbe spokes

The cassette is hitting the spokes? You should get in touch with Hunt they are super helpful.

You need a spacer between cassette and freehub where the cassette hits the driver body ‘stops’. My chris king hubs had that with some cassettes. But I would go to the Hunt website’s chat help and discuss it with them. Good customer support

I contacted Hunt and they advised to use grease, I don’t think oil would be suitable in a freehub unless you don’t mind cleaning and re-oiling every ride.

I thought this as all gcn videos say oil

Cheers mate 🤙

I’ve had no issues with mine since, they are running perfect. I don’t remember seeing holes on the flange face, I’ll have a look when I take the wheel off next time. Thanks

Cheers mate 🤙 the video does it no justice as usual!

It’s a Rocky Mountain Altitude, the very last trail on this video was on my Specialized Turbo Levo SL as my chain snapped on my Rocky Mountain!

@@simplysingletrack4800 I think both look amazing 👍

Cheers, I must admit I think they do too 🤙

It’s really easy, just make sure you use the trick with the wire to push the pawls in when re-installing the freehub. Also apply a bit of thread lock to the axle end cap to prevent it coming loose as I found out when my axle became loose again.

Do hunt recommend grease for pawls ? Or could a light oil do? Then I’ll definitely get into all gaps?

Iv a creak on my hunt carbon gravel 35s I’m wondering if this could sort it? I must admit the free hub slips every other ride at least once

Cheers 🤙 yeh there’s some really good trails there!

Yeh thats right, I’m led to believe there’s some tree felling going on at the moment and possibly some of the trails have been flattened.

Good to meet you too. Join my Facebook group if you want as I organise rides on there and we can go for a shred. facebook.com/groups/604031676885164/?ref=share

It certainly helps when climbing back up Keighley gate!

I’m not sure, hopefully not! I’ve not been since I shot this video.

@@simplysingletrack4800 Majority of it gone now unfortunately. Combination of tree felling and forest being anti MTB.

Thanks 😊
