Hello! Normally for cars I replace tyres after 4 years, no matter what is the consumption status. Do you have any "rule" to replace tyres based only on their age?

Is anyone having experience with framesets that are not showing any serial number in Mission Control after connecting? Is that normal? I thought framesets were going to be delivered "pre-activated" somehow :|

Hello, I just got delivered a 1st gen SL frameset. Surprised not to see the swat tool included 🤔 Is there an official list of compinents expected to be delivered with the frameset? Can’t find anything on the Specialized website 😬 Also: is the first activation doable just with mission control?

Hello! I own a full fat Turbo Levo and an analog (15+Kg) All Mountain MTB. I am seriously thinking to swap my standard MTB with a light e-mtb. Reason: I would like to have a small assistance from the the motor but more or less the same playfulness of an analog bike. The only doubt is if it is...

After just 500km and a few rides in wet and mud I already need to do maintenance on my DMR Vault pedals... left pedal is creaking and right pedal squeaking. I am quite disappointed :( Anybody else having same experience?

Hello guys, I am planning to order a frameset on Specialized website and getting it delivered to a different country to where I live (going there soon for a trip). How does it work when it comes to delivery? Are you notified about frameset being ready from the LBS or directly from the...

Hello, I searched a bit on the forum but could not find anything interesting. Do you think a turbo Levo SL can be safely used on a smart trainer? During winter I use the smart/turbo tainer a lot. Winters are very long and I can't always go out. So I am leveraging my analog AM bike on a...

Hello! I would like to add a bit of body protections to my riding kit and I am searching for your opinion or experience. My use case is: mainly all-mountain rides, a few times a year (2-3) bike parks. What would you buy: a good backpack with back protector (like Evoc Neo to have some...

Hello! My wife has a Focus Jam2 6.7 with a Rock Shox Recon RL 29 Boost, E-MTB, 110x15 mm, 51 mm rake fork. I am going to replace the 29'' wheels with 27.5'' (both rear and front). According to RockShox, the Recon RL with 51mm of offset is compatible with 29'', but they don't mention the...

Hello! I would love to have an option to change on the fly the wheel circumference on a Focus Jam2 (Bosch Gen 4) when using it in mullet setup of full 29''. Is very stupid that we have the option to use a flip chip to move from 29'' to 27'5'' but then the motor has to go every time to the...

Hello! I recently bought a 6.7 in size S for my wife. She does not really like the feel of riding 29” tyres and the bike, even in size S, is pretty high. I am thinking about replacing both tyres with 27.5” without touching the flip chip. Besides the ground clearance, do you see other issues...

Hello! I just received an email asking to bring the TL to my LBS for a battery firmware update. Apparently it is for better performance, so I guess it is not really mandatory. Did you receive the same or have any insight about it?

Week after week I keep reading threads and posts about riders having issues with their Brose motors. I think it makes sense to also collect data of people NOT having issues. Because I cannot believe that majority of us faced or will face an issue with this amazing motor! Mine is not really a...

I am using a Thule UpRide to bring my E-mtb around by car and I am wondering if anybody has any idea about what is the best way to protect the bike (especially if it's raining) while going on highway. I contacted a couple of brands (TeamObsidian and Dirtlej) and researched online but apparently...

I found a new bike at a good price in one LBS close to where I live. All good but the bike has an old e8000 unit.... do you think is it worth to buy such a old unit in 2022?

Hello! I just received a Turbo Levo Expert Gen 3 and after unpacking it, completing the installation and removing all protections, I noticed that the colors on the top tube as well as below the seat post do not look right :( At the beginning I thought it as just dirty because of the tape used...

Hello! I am considering to buy a Levo Gen 3 and need a suggestion/help. I need to remove the battery while traveling and I am wondering what is the best way to protect the frame/motor while the battery is not in place. Do you have any suggestion? Do you think that buying a supplementary battery...

Does any of you have had the opportunity to ride one of the new Haibike models with PW-X3? If so: how does it work with the new display and drive modes? Is it using the color on all the 4 LEDs to show the current assistance levels? And are the battery LEDs going through different color to show...

Yesterday I went to some e-bikes exhibition and tried several motors on different e-bikes brands (first time for me riding e-bikes). Giant/Yamaha, Bosch Gen 4, Shimano and... Bafang. For the Shimano I did not like the lag of the motor when stopping pedaling. I liked on the contrary the way the...

Hello! I still don't have an e-mtb but before going to the market for one I started looking also at the standard full suspension acoustic bikes. While doing so I noticed some points in common with basically all markets related to "transportation"... Both e-bikes and standard bikes markets are...
