    Hard shifting during ascent

    I’m finding its a lot easier to shift smoothly/quietly when upshifting while starting down a hill than downshifting on a hill climb. My theory is that the drivetrain is still rotating under power for a revolution ot two after you stop pedaling causing the hard shifting while climbing even after...

    The new Specialized Turbo Teros - 3.0 and 5.0

    The 3.0 is for my wife and the 5.0 is my new ride. Given our size/weight differences, and the motor/battery differences of the two bikes, we should be very evenly matched. The range calculator came out to within 1 mile difference when all other riding factors were identical. Anyway on to the...
