Try putting in the battery upside down, that should reset the monitor. Mine stopped working and that did the trick, more than a year later still going strong

Problem is they are rather old now, so clean ones are hard to come by.
Very true, they are as rare as hen's teeth. And if you find one through a Volvo dealer then they add their extra rarity price, but I guess business is business.
If it’s the wrong forum then please delete the post.
I'm however looking for a Volvo XC70 AWD cause it's "practical" and can load whatever in the back.
So if you know of anyone selling one please let me know.

This will be a good real-life study in Marketing studies going forward. What, how, when, and why did it go pear shaped.
Exactly, there was a time where you had to refresh the page waiting as soon as the entries open to get a spot.

Reading through all of the posts I think I have realized that replacing the carbon MTB hardtail would be difficult. I get too much of kick out off feeling the immediate power transfer and negotiating the single tracks to find the smoothest line.
My roadbike isn't worth much but the value I get out of it would be difficult to replace.
Now speaking hypothetically and in a perfect world where I just have all the money one could want. I would replace my roadbike with a Scott Addict Gravel, light and responsive but can be used on the road or gravel.
So guess for now I'm keeping my bike the way they are
Hi everyone
That time of year when everyone has the need for a dramatic change,
So this is my end of year "crises"
I want to replace my 2011 Merida Scultura and 2014 Scott scale 930 with a single gravel bike.
I enjoy the odd road race here and there with the yearly Argus to see if "This year is my sub 3 year". I enjoy riding in Jonkershoek but enjoy the climbing more than the coming down so would always opt for the fire roads down seeing that its still harsh on the Scale coming down Armageddon.
Would I regret such a decision and would I still be able to push it in the odd road race if I put some skinny road tyres on the gravel bike? I guess its all in the legs, the real question is would I feel such a big difference between the road and gravel bike if I put on proper road tyres on the gravel bike, Like the GP5000 tyres.
Has anyone tried racing with a gravel bike on the road with road tyres, and how was the experience?
I’ve always wanted to convert my hardtail into a gravel bike now I can hopefully just get the GRX shifters paired with my SLX 12 speed setup and some new handlebars.
I have no frame of reference, but would the pros be completely rested for the XCO after the XCC? At that level of their fitness are they able to rest that quickly?
Anyone know where one can see the highlights?
What a feeling it must be for MVP going into the XCO next weekend knowing he has nothing to prove and already accomplished what he intended to, just letting his current win fuel him😎

@Barry and @RobertWhitehead thank you guys. Will send you some DMs😎.

Yes only the front wheel, is the hub uniform throughout, cause if it expands in the then it will be hell to take out the axle
Shot thank you everyone, I will do some calling around.
Now the next challenge is finding a non boost front wheel with a 15mm hub. @RobertWhitehead do you have something laying around in a 29er?
Hi Everyone
Our Q-Lock 15 axle disintegrated on a ride with our Avalanche Envi with the Epicon 29er fork.
Do any of you know where I could get it from?

Anyone selling a similar bike?
The following should be gravelbike friendly, my wife and I once did it on our MTB tandem as well. You see a bit of everything and it really beautiful.
Local hubbers are we still able to do the rout? I did it pre-Covid when the world ended.

New Spark ??
Seems like some sharp angles ... which is such a bad idea in an era of marginal gains ....
Apparently some ebikes require part removal of the motor to get to the space where some cables are run ...
I often have the rear inner and outer replaced at a major service .... these fun bits totalle distorts a time based quote ...
Was thinking the new spark as well. I'm a huge Scott fanboy but when the day comes for a soft tail then I'll 100% go for the previous gen Spark, just for the ease of mind when wanting to service the bike.

This series of pics, incidentaly a HT, shows what the chain goes through after only a very small jump
Okay, so this gent also on a HT grabbed some more air ....
Now watch this little racer, on a full susspension ....
PS - not sure which of these bikes even have SRAM or Shimano ....
PPS - also not sure just how much of this chain slap the clutch can reduce.
Just having fun on a Sunday afternoon with old pics.
Lekker to see the you guy jumping like that,
I'm more of a roller, even though a can hold my own down Armageddon I'm not one for jumps.
One trip to the dentist after some chipped teeth healed me from the need to see daylight between my wheels and the horizon.

Hiehie ....
My HT clutch is also permanently off. But it is only used onroad ...
The dual suss lets me know very quickly if I forget to engage the clutch !! Chain slapping the stay .... stop, switch on clutch and she works perfectly.
Haha ah makes sense, yes I'm on a HT and im rarely bothered by chain slap.
I'll definitely take this into account when I upgrade to a dual sus.

Got this from my LBS
With 4.off clutch setups it is just a matter of time till I need it on short notice ... 😉
This is going to be quite the controversial comment but I’ve been cycling with the clutch off for more than a year and have been very happy with the shifting.
Only this past week when I replaced the outer and inner cable I decided to try the derailleur again with the clutch on, only to find when flipping the clutch lever there was no resistance, as if the lever was connected to nothing😅
1 minute ago, vanniri said:My thoughts exactly. The clutch was not engaging, so I opened it (serviced it before) and started to remove the parts for cleaning/re-grease, the complete clutch unit came off, normally only the ring and adjuster would. When I inserted a screwdriver to open the ring the one point came-off (It did not sound or felt like a snap). I applied virtually zero force, to me it felt as if it was already seperated.
Anyway, I'll buy a service kit and fix it.
Please post where you ended up getting a service kit, I suspect I’m in the same boat with mine.

Shot thank you, I have started slow and can do a 8km easily now. Buuuuut it's shocking how inefficient my body is at running vs cycling. Haven't found that zone 2 running pace yet...
