Seriously? We all make purchasing decision based on product reviews all the time.... Most of the reviews do compare them to Codes as a reference. So if you know Codes then you can have a pretty good idea. That said, I do agree it's not a 100% accurate assessment of just how stiff the pull is...
They are not installed. I know from the feel before installing them they are stiffer than the Codes that came with the bike. I'm sure the stopping power is top notch but I can guarantee the feel and modulation will not match the Hayes..for me.
I bought the Maven Ultimate kit with the rotors and stuff for my Levo..then I got buyers remorse after readying about how harsh the levers are. After installing T4's on my Stumpy around the same time I'm thoroughly convinced I do not want any other brakes except Dominions. I need to return...
Yes, they use DT Swiss 350 free hubs.
What do you have now? Shimano Microspline? I switched from SRAM Eagle to Shimano because I prefer the gearing. The prices in XT and especially SLX are much cheaper than GX or XO as well. So unless your converting the T-Type it’s maybe not worth it…
I bought a Bomber CR coil shock on sale to use as a replacement when my EXT E-Storia goes in for service. The price was pretty reasonable vs an air shock and used the same spring from the EXT to get proper sag. I'm actually very impressed with the shock. Had multiple PR's since it's been on...
The Kids SL is now on sale for $2500, that's 35% discount. Not sure what the resale value of a Kids SL with 1.1 motor but the whole concept just got a lot cheaper....
I picked up a Bomber CR body on sale for $250 to use when I send in my EXT E-Storia in for service. Fits nicely and achieved pretty much the same sag with the EXT spring.
I don’t think you ever said what size your bike is. I assumed it was and S3 as that was the size in the most recent discussion of the X2. If you have and S2 then for sure you will need to figure that out. Good luck. I certainly like my EXT E-Storia.
Not sure about your situation as the Alloy models do use a different Cascade Link than the Carbon models that the S3 fit issues were reported on above. Could be similar in the alloy but I don’t think it’s been reported here yet.
Gen 1 Levo SL's are about 30% off right now which is the most you will ever see. Levo Expert for $6200 is closer to 40% and certainly not a price Specialized would ever let their authorized dealers advertise at or probably even sell at without the possibility of getting slapped on the wrist by...
Even with a favorable exchange rate of the Euro that would be an unbelievable deal. MSRP in the US is $10,000US for an Expert but currently on sale for $9000US. I got what I thought was an amazing deal for $7500 through a shop in urgent need to clear inventory. So yes, that's a steal. Such a...
It's not exactly proven to be plug-n-play let alone field tested. Sarcasm isn't super helpful to members asking legitimate questions. From what I've seen it's all theoretically possible but not fully tested let alone remotely supported by Specialized. One big question I would have is where do...
