I wouldn’t take a chance on filing carbon fiber down “a few millimeters”. If you get down to the structural ply’s it would significantly weaken the construction and you could easily see delamination and other structural damages after a few hours of hard use, then your frame could be beyond repair….
Hi, got NO clear pointers from anyone and Shimano will not sell a EP8 motor to my decoy 2020 they say that YT have not certified my frame for EP8 so this has to go thru YT. If I got a clear message from anyone that e.g you will have to change the display and cable from motor to battery I might...
Hi Folks!
Just out of warranty 2020 model, diagnosis show that i need to replace my motor. If i need to pay for it myselfe i would like to explore putting in a EP8 instead of replacing the old E8000.
Does anybody KNOW exactly what other parts i need to replace other than Motor, Crank arms?
I...
A guy at Shimano Norway has put the new EP8 into his "old" Santa Cruz Heckler. Says beginning of new year 2021 Shimano service centers can order spare motors. Any ideas if this can be done to the 2020 Decoy? And if Yes, how?
When do manufacturers start to ship bikes with the EP8 motor? Heard a rumor that shimano have stopped all shipments due to a Software upgrade that is not released yet....? Any knowledge regarding this matter?
I'm sorry if this has been a topic on this thread before. But i'm struggeling to find the correct Chain ring bolt set. I'm trying to put a 36T ring up front and my ring is in aluminium from Praxis and no threaded holes as the original in steel. The new alu chainring is 3,27mm thick with a thru...
Hi,
I feel the Levo is better as an "All round" bike. If step, gnar, fast speeds i prefer the Decoy, it kind of comes to life when being pushed, and "get's into the zone" when the going gets tough and fast. The Levo is in it's zone everywhere. For a all day out on the trail i'll take the Levo...
I have:
Decoy Pro Race 2020
Levo Comp Carbon 2019 with 700wh (Fox Factory 36 160mm and X2 shock) Mullet setup with DT Swiss H1700
Reason for 2 bikes: If somethings happens to my YT Decoy and i had to deal with their Customer support it could take for ever to get it back on the road/trails again...
I have drained it several times, no stress. I Also have a Levo with 700wh batt and so does several of my mates. I would really like to ride the Decoy with my mates and not always have to take my Levo. When I bought the Decoy In March YT told me on mail that the 700wh battery would come out...
That sucks BIG time!!:mad: Guess my Levo with 700wh will Reign alone in the near future.... So annoying when all my mates have Levo's with 700wh batteries and a grim smile every time i choose to take the Decoy for a group ride....
I agree with most of the arguments in here, really i do. But i also would like to own my own narrative when it comes to my bike and any disputes that might rise with warranty issues in the future. And i'm not talking about fraudulent claims. So if Specialized uses the data for all good...
They will also use it to refuse warranty claims I’m afraid. If that happens it will be the end of mission control for me and probably many others. Great app but people need to understand that it’s quite useless if they start to use it against you....
This means that Specialized can refuse warranty claims on your bike/components based on data collected thru Mission Control?? What if they refused frame warranty if the place a crash sensor in the TCU and you just made a hard landing, or other things like wheel circumference below a threshold...
I'm used to my Levo 2019 and Garmin integration via ebike IQ connect app. Gives me battery in % wich i prefere, aspessially when you only have 2 bars left, is it 40% or 21% (big difference) I found an old speedsensor and fitted it, worked like you said, Thanks!
Hi, got a edge 830, connection work fine but my bike is derestricted and Garmin grabs distance and speed from my bike, it fucks up the whole ride. Can I select that I want speed and distance data from my gps and NOT from shimano steps sensor?
Hi, Great news for you UK guys getting a YT Service Center over there ?
I have a question a bit off this topic but hope someone with experience from both the Brose 2.1 motor and the Decoy shimano motor can answer. I have a 2019 Levo and a Decoy 2020. Ride them back to back all the time. However...
