    Fixing the dropper post sealing ring?

    I forgot to post an update, so here it goes... Brought the bike to my lbs and they managed to fumble it back in. Got told if it happens again they have to send it to specialized. Well it lasted for a while, i’ve lubed the seal before and after every ride - but last week it popped out...

    What GPS Cycle computer for MTB navigation?

    uhm... why?? I mean, if you turn down your highlights you can clearly see the ground on the left. That’s not a cliff ^^ ?

    What are you riding with - Flats vs Clips?

    Flats all the way. If i jump, get better on the wheelies or ride weird blocked stuff i want to be able to jump off the bike at any time without the funky-foot-movements. Seen multiple friends staying clipped in when falling... looks funny :)

    Shimano vs Magura brake upgrade?

    Option 3: Shimano Zee, if you're in for some extra stopping power and durability :) Both of your choices are good brakes as well and both do have good stopping power. Also both are easier to bleed than sram and don't squeal like srams are often known for. Magura is said in general to be more...

    Tubeless - Inserts are they needed/worth it?

    i would say there's no need to use inserts just because of the extra weight of an emtb (otherwise all the riders weighting 10kgs more would need to ride inserts, which clearly isn't the case). it much more depends on your riding style, the riding terrain, the tyre itself and last but not least...

    i haven't thought about my bike riding without me, but it totally makes sense ^^

    fox factory 36

    Maybe a stupid question, but what on earth makes a fork "ebike specific"? Is it just because the bike is 10kg heavier?? If this is the reason, then it should already have specific forks for different rider weights... so for guys like me, having the weight of a small cow, any normal fork should...

    Turbo Levo battery issue

    Hm... really searched a while, also in german forums and spesh helpdesk (and i have a black belt in google-foo)... but found absolutely nothing about those battery indicator lights. that's a shame. Are you sure it's a levo? Maybe you ride a haibike and didn't know it ^^ Just kidding :)

    Turbo Levo battery issue

    and can you find the battery with mission control and what does the diagnostics say? Oh, I guess the my19 battery doesn't have an on/off button anymore, so if you can't turn the bike on, mission control as nothing to connect to. the interwebs is very quiet about those indicator led's on the...

    Turbo Levo battery issue

    What does the battery diagnostics in the secialized app say? So if you put that battery in your bike, you can't turn it on and the bike's display stays black? Or does that show an error-code? Does the charger flash red if you plug the battery in?

    Considering opening ebike/bike rental business in United States. Have some questions??

    Without having a clue about the business itself..... regarding question 1: the e-bike rentals i know from Lenzerheide, Switzerland do sell their ebikes at the end of each season. It's a win-win situation because they still get a good price for the bikes and they always have new bikes (and...

    Specialized Warranty Question

    That might be, because swedish people do shred bikes up to an age of 100 so a "lifetime" warranty would totally ruin them ;)
