    Which brake lever upgrade for 2020 TL Comp?

    The last thing on my bike that I am unhappy with is the fact that the brake levers are adjustable for reach but not for the movement until the braking action. They move so much before they do anything and so they just can't compare to the XTR brakes I am used to for. Can I just buy SRAM Guide...

    Charger only going to 60%?

    I plugged in an E+2 Pro and left it overnight. In the morning, the app said it was 60% charged and the handlebar indicator was showing the two top lights not on. What could make it not fully charge? I thought maybe the dealer provided a charger of a lower voltage, but it says 36v on the box...

    Strava upload watts

    When the Giant app uploads, the calories and watts seem to be including the work of the motor. But when a Turbo Levo uploads, it works as a normal bike power meter and only sends Strava the work that the rider did. I think Giant should fix that.

    What is 2019 E+2 Pro battery life at various settings?

    I did a 9 mile singletrack ride with 400 feet of elevation gain and I am 64kg. At max power and averaging 14 mph, I had 2 out of 5 battery lights remaining but don't think it was fully charged when I started. I want to ride the same type of course but go 26 miles. What is the max power setting...

    Question on speed limit of 2019/2020...

    With correct wheel diameter, which I think is 2300mm? The bike will shut off power at 19.6mph. Specialized removed the ability to change the wheel diameter, except by a dealer, and it can't go below 2000. That should change the speed limit to 23mph. It may not seem like much, but 23 is actually...

    Little-known reason why Specialized is the only real choice for fitness tracking...

    One of the reasons people give for hating ebikes is that it is cheating and you have no idea how much work you are doing and how much the motor is doing. The Specialized fixed that by having a human wattage meter that uploads to Strava. It shows your input wattage and calories burned. This...

    Strava upload with power data - which app?

    If I want to upload to Strava as eBike, and have my pedal input human wattage uploaded, which apps can do that? Mission Control? A Garmin 520? (does it connect to the bike with Blutooth and get power data?) Some other app? And what app has the best mapping where I can pre-load a route? My...

    Levo Gen 2 2020 Turbo Levo Owners Thread

    Let's see who gets their 2020 first. I ordered, at least with the dealer, a Comp today in the black color. Last year, the first 2019 videos hit YouTube around Sept 11 from Specialized and Sept 20 from random people.
