I bought a bottle of SRAM 5.1 brake fluid from Planet Cyclery. It has the color of hangover piss. Before I bleed my Elixir 5 brakes is this fluid supposed to be yellow? The bottle is dated the 10th week of 2021 and the seal seems to be intact. Thanks.

I know but I already have my 2020 Turbo Levo that I stole from the original owner. My motor is under warranty until Nov. of 2023. It's just a bear to ride with no assistance. I figure 10 -11% assist depending on the wind to make it ride like an analog bike. Greater KC has a population of...

This issue has me thinking about tabling my Orbea Rise purchase for now. Kansas City does not have a dealer and the closest is a 400 mile round trip to Bentonville, AR. Of course we have ten Specialized dealers. I'm trying to get my LBS to pick up Orbea. Not holding my breath with the...

Thanks and if I order an H30 I should get Shimano cranks, right?

I have a 2020 Turbo Levo Comp but looking to switch to a Rise H30. Why in the world does the Shimano EP8 (8000) motor not have a threaded spindle for crank attachment like the Brose motor? Pinch bolts for cranks seem like they will eventually fail no matter what cranks are used. How hard is...

Thanks. I'll trouble shoot by turning off my BT devices one by one before I check the connections at the motor. It always shows the bike speed and assist mode and I can change the assist modes when this happens. Switching assist modes often brings the readings back temporarily.

I'm having the exact same issue on my 2020 Turbo Levo Comp. Did you ever figure out a solution? Thanks.

Was out for a long ride yesterday. There were some puddles on the trail. Bike started intermittantly dropping the cadence, motor power and biker power fields in Blevo. Tried Mission Control and the same so I'm confident it's a hardware issue. Where is the cadence sensor located? Hopefully...

Sorry I misunderstood what you said earlier in the thread about changing assistance level on the fly. I went to Orbea's website and clearly the Rise has a rocker pad on the left bar for changing the riding modes on the fly. I use Blevo on my Turbo Levo Comp and use the heart rate assist...

Any update on whether heart rate assistance change is possible on the Orbea Rise? And did I understand you correctly that the EP8 motor cannot change assistance on the fly? So you have to stop the bike before changing from Eco to Trail or Boost? Sounds silly on Shimano's part if that's the...

Thanks guys. It will be interesting to see how the Hydro (alloy) models do in off mode. I need the longer range of the Hydro and refuse to pay carbon model prices.

How does it feel compared to riding a Turbo Levo 2.1 turned off? I ride my Levo a lot turned off and am getting blow away on the paved bike path by fat old men on analog bikes.

Using Blevo on 5 hour plus rides and I need a phone charger. I also listen to Spotify when appropriate and that uses juice as well.

Has anyone gotten any input from Specialized about whether using the motor AUX ports voids the bike's warranty? I recently had the battery fail on my 2020 Turbo Levo Comp. Specialized covered it under warranty but the manager of my LBS recommended that I remove my wireless phone charger...

Yeah my battery taking a dump after 8 charge cycles was easier to believe and accept than the Chiefs losing the AFC Championship to the Bengals at home. Good news is Specialized is giving me a new battery.
