Very little, but that's largely because the ksl changed so little. For the levo the geometry changes make it much more worthwhile.
But then if only the motor has changed then why buy the new bike anyway?
Better to sell you a new motor for $1000 (probably with a very healthy margin) than have...
I would love for this to be true, but specialized have always had this very strange approach to spares.
Tried to buy new axles for their Boomslang pedals in the past and they wouldn't sell them, only warranty. It's a wear part, it should be for sale.
The steerer SWAT tool is really good but...
Charged my Levo SL gen 1 (18 months old) to 80% on Wednesday night.
Went riding on Friday and about 10 minutes in looked down at the Garmin and was shocked to find it was at 64%. Looking back at the Garmin graph of charge it started at 74% (so I lost 6% before I even rode it).
It then continued...
I think this is a bit unfair. I don't think anyone is really defending the manufacturers, just trying to highlight the circumstances where failure occurs.
It can be comforting to know that some users are having no issues, it should give you hope that it is worth persisting with warranty and that...
Yes, this baffles me.
I would really like to upgrade my gen 1 SL to the new TCU particularly but the part is a stupid price and I don't think they will flash it for me. Motor would be good too.
In theory, these parts (motor, TCU, battery and loom) are about £2k to buy on their own (IF you can...
You're at 90% sag?!?!
That's not even close to being workable.
If you buy a new shock before you break this one then you should be able to sell it to recoup a lot of the cost but I don't think any shock is going to get the sag down to 30% kind of territory if you are really at 90 now.
I like to do quite a lot of drops and jumps that tend to bottom out the bike if I don't max out the volume spacers and put the sag down a bit so that's what I do. But I'm not a huge guy so it works for me.
Unfortunately there are very few options for bigger guys and especially bigger guys who...
Again thank you for taking the time to contribute. Sadly I fail to comprehend how this super calculation would get me to the FRAME weight.
It was my intention to do a similar sum to get the difference in weight to the carbon one but to know what this is as a percentage increase is a little more...
I had an issue with my combo of disc, hub and magnet. Just put a small neodymium magnet on the disc itself to test and when I was sure it was in a position that worked glued it on. I carry a spare magnet with me just in case it come off and gets lost but been fine for a year now.
Hope this...
Designing bike parts is my job. Can't show the ones I did unfortunately, but picture of the test bosses I printed to check the spline fit are below.
I use Solidworks which is kind of the standard in the bike industry but the files I send to the 3d printers (in China, using online upload links)...
More expensive than the forged cranks but not ewings territory either. Currently paying about 60 cents (US) per gram for Aluminium. With a short crank and good design to make full use of the printing you can save a lot of weight. The ones I did were about 275g for the pair so with shipping just...
Sorry for the delay.
Road cranks are a tiny bit better for your purposes.
From the 36mm raised boss around the axle the scallop on the road cranks extends to 121mm.
On the MTB cranks this dimension is 124mm
So from axle centre should be 139mm and 142mm respectively.
The end of the scallop is...
