So what everyone thinking on the new KSL/new SL motor? 2+ years away?
The new Bosch lightweight motor definitely outclasses the SL motor, much more punchy, bigger battery, near silent, so Specilized is going to be relying on their name and frame design to compete until they come up with...
There are forests in Arizona?!
Very jealous of your riding spot, I got to ride in Phoenix during a trip out there and it was like nowhere else I’ve been. It’s great the Levo is working for you, it’s nice to hear positive comments rather than complaints about broken motors
The theory is that car brake cleaner is fine on car brakes (which I’ve used it on for years) but it contains oil to stop cast iron brake components rusting, which car brakes get hot enough to burn off the discs, but bike brakes do not. Never been 100% on that as I’ve had mtb rotors quite hot.
Bike friends, bike mechanics, bike forums. Looking around there’s a lot of threads arguing both ways on this, I’m happy to call this an old wives tail…and I’m going to keep using ipa on mine
Are you noticing any issue with the feel of the brake? Sponginess, pushing back against your finger when you pull the lever, pulling to the bar? Is the rotor glowing or turning blue? If not, your brakes aren’t getting too hot.
For comparison, this is how my front rotor looks:
I would worry...
