That's a pretty good idea. I have a few hidden tools that I leave in the bush (mainly hoes and rakes), but I take a photo of where it is and a screen shot of the Trailforks location, as it saves looking for and hour or so for where you thought you put it. :ROFLMAO:

I only realised that Greg was an AI after his second reply. :ROFLMAO:

My 1.1 SL now has over 22,000km on the clock and I just had it rebuilt by the eBike Service Centre in Australia as a bit of a precaution. I do think as long as you don't have any electronic issues, these motors will last a long time and it's really just the sprag clutch that is the weak point.

It depend on how you ride. I often do 60km+ rides and over 1300 meters of vertical, and that pushes the limits of the range of the current SL battery.

Yes the Mahle motor is slightly more efficient than the TQ motor but the TQ so much quieter. The Avinox batteries are quite good. The 800Wh battery weighs 3.74kg so that's 214Wh per Kg. In contrast the Levo SL battery weighs 1.8Kg and is 324Wh, so that's only 180Wh per Kg. If the SL had the...

I'd be surprised if Specialized continue the SL. They seem to be paring down the variations of bikes at the moment. The XC range just has the Epic 9, when before there was the World Cup/Epic/Epic Evo, the Trail category did have the Stumpy and Stumpy Evo and now there just one. It does seem like...

Hmm, that kind of sounds like there a small amount of drag going on there that allows the cranks to continue to rotate but not enough drag when there's some resistance like when your feet are touching the pedals. It's been a long time since I had mine apart to visualise how it works.

Don't do what I did and use a pin punch directly on the brass as it will dent easily. I was able to smooth it out but it wasn't perfect. I'd suggest using a gear puller.

It's a shame that almost all of the motor manufactures won't service the motors and it ends up being companies like Ebike Motor Centre that comes to the party to fill that gap. Bosch, Yamaha and Shimano, Brose, TQ are no different, they won't service a motor either.

I'd say no.

It's been a while since I replaced my sprag bearing now but I didn't think that I had an issue getting the housing off. 🤔 Maybe the sprag bearing is locking itself onto the shaft. It should just slide off.

Wow that's a lot of kilometres in that amount of time. What sort of riding do you do with it?

I assume this is satire?🤔

Yes, I'm surprised that it is sill at 100%. I charge it to 100% every time too, as the 80% charge limit on the ap hasn't worked for well over a year. I ride my SL to work and back most days when the weather is fine and it's about a 53km round trip. So average around 200km per week. More in...

My first gen Levo SL now has 20,000km on the clock Want to update your leader board @jimbob ?;)
