I haven't had a DU replacement (only had the bike for about a month) but:
*running custom profile also that was given to me by a buddy who's had his HSL longer than me
Breeze: 150 max power @ 150 rider power, 52% acceleration
River: 300 max power @ 170 rider power, 65% acceleration
Rocket...
Yeah, winch & plummet (although I didn't ride a couple of our steeper trails because they were still wet). I currently weigh about 163, 5'8". I've never done a proper FTP test, but using the internet calculators by age & weight, they say 300w.
I got a few more rides in on my new HSL after the rain let up, and I'll just say that this is a damn fun bike. It's much better handling than my Levo was, and way easier to bunny hop and pop off smaller features. Like others have said, it uses it's travel exceptionally well. The only time I...
Yeah, so as others have said here, Fazua "just works" with Garmin. No idea why Wahoo can't but whatever. I just searched for nearby devices on my new 540 and it saw "ebike" even with the HSL turned off. (Guessing that's also why the ebike battery has drained to 88% over the last week without...
I ordered a Garmin 540 since my Wahoo has been kinda flakey lately anyways. I'll try setting it up on there and try to put together a how-to if I'm successful.
I did press my buddy also on a HSL more about how he set his up (he's not super tech savvy), and he did say that on his Garmin watch...
The guy I rode with just described it as that, and showed me on his Garmin watch and 530. He said you install a widget or something, which gives you 2 different preconfigured Fazua screens. I forget the exact different fields, but it was like battery percentage, mode, and some stuff I don't...
I got my HSL built up, at least mostly, and got 1 ride in before the rain returned. My buddy who delivered it was also on his, and we did about 4,150 ft in 2:15 moving time. We ran Breeze on low angle fire roads, River most of the time, and Rocket on the steeper punchy bits. We each had about...
Well, my buddy won't stop raving about his HSL, so I ordered one for myself. Getting an S build and basically flipping most of the components over to my Levo to sell that or just use it for trail work.
Good to know. Yeah, we have some climbs that are 15-20% (the "easy" ones are 10%), so as long as the motor and I give enough power, that's why I was thinking 4k in 2 hours might be possible. Total winch & plummet terrain. On the Levo I recently did an after work ride that was 3,800' in 1:05...
How many people here came to the Heckler SL from a full power ebike? I've got a Levo right now that's got a Cascade Link and 170 Zeb on it, and while it's light for a full power bike (just over 50 lbs), it's still pretty tiring to throw around on steep technical terrain. When I got it, the...
I'm running Dominion A4s. Over the years I've tried XTs (wandering bite point), Maguras (fucking impossible to keep the 4 independent pads from rubbing, can't service the pistons), and Code RSCs (liked the adjust and bleed but lacked bite and the amount of force required to brake hard was...
Well this is lovely. The new motor I got makes a sort of gritty dirty drivetrain sound whenever there's a reasonable amount of torque applied and the motor is on. Silent when the motor is off. <1 month old, and I've spent the last week or so trying to troubleshoot my T-Type because I thought...
Not sure about exact diameters, but with Hayes kevlar hoses (thicker than normal) I had to pull out the plastic guide tubes and just run the hoses through without. I added a foam sleeve after I got it into the main frame to help keep it quiet.
After second round of reinstalling using green high strength retaining compound, my bearing appears to to finally be holding in place. A few steps I think are probably key:
* thoroughly degrease the outside of the bearing and the bearing seat with isopropyl alcohol. I kept doing this until a...
Yes, BBT-18 is the one. Good luck getting that fucker off. The idiots who assembled mine at the factory used a gazillion N-M of torque. I couldn't get it off - shop had to use a breaker bar to do it.
For those of you who've gone through 1 or more warranty motor replacements, what was the total turn around time at your local shop? I'm in for my first one, it's been over 2 weeks, and I'm starting to get annoyed. When I talked to the shop last week they said that Spec had approved the...
