The best way to check drag at the pedals is to remove the chain from the front sprocket and turn the crank by hand. Give the crank a good flick in both directions and see if there is any excess drag...cranks stop rotating in less than 1 rotation or so. Problems with the sprag bearings normally...
I used Mudhugger shorty's on both front and rear on my 2019 Turbo Levo. I had to cut the one in the rear to allow it to fit above the cross brace on the seat stays. It has about 2cm of clearance but doesn't cover the lower section near the pivot. I just used some rubber from an old inner...
OTA testing started today. As one of the testers I updated to the newest Mission Control app then updated my TCU and motor to the latest FW...from 6.1.0 to 7.3.6.
The update took less than 7 min and worked flawless. We will be testing a new motor FW that addresses the walk mode issues in a...
Interesting to hear that it is compatible with other systems. Would be interested in hear which systems. It seams that updates at both both Garmin and motor manufacturers continue to expand capabilities and connectivity...but bottom line right now is Garmin's Ebike data screen is not fully...
Specialized Mission Control does not, nor has it ever, provided for an estimated range display. If you are seeing a field for estimated range then you are most likely using the optional "Ebike" data screen that is part of the Garmin 530/830/1030"s software to be used with Shimano STEPS...
Nope! That is equal to 3hrs labor at $100 an hour for a 30 minute job. A decent Bike mechanic could do a complete teardown/rebuild servicing in that time for less!
You are correct in that power is reduced at 15% remaining capacity by the software reducing current to the motor. IMHO This is to both protect the battery as well as extend the remaining range as much as possible. The lower the current draw the higher the voltage,. The higher the voltage the...
To go along with what Zimmerfrane is saying, if you look at a discharge graph for a 3500mah 18650 lithium battery you will see that voltage decreases at pretty much a linear rate until around the last 20% of capacity where it starts dropping off sharply. Your perception of less power is...
You can fit the Charger 2.1 to the Revelation. I haven't done it yet... waiting for a discount but I have fit a 160 mm DebonAir 2021 and changed to Maxima Plush 3wt oil in my Revelation Charger RC. Definitely an improvement over stock! Will change to SKF wiper seals once I get the 2.1 and will...
Well it turns out that you cannot connect a HRM directly to Strava, according to a Heart Rate Insight page that is part of the new Analysis page on the app. IMHO Strava has made this change to move the liability to the HRM manufacturers by only importing data from the Manufacturers app.
I...
I purchased the OH1 for use with MC/Blevo and Strava. I have been able to get a live HR on MC but none of the data will transfer to Strava nor is there any history available. It doesn't work with Strava either. You have to use Polar's Beat app and sync the ride data from there to Strava which...
I just purchased a Polar OH1 armband monitor as it is listed as one of the compatible models in the Blevo manual and should also work with Mission Control. We'll see when it gets here ....
The max current of the SL is 7A but looking at all the rides posted the riders are getting about 1.5-2hrs use out of an extender battery which would translate to and average discharge rate of .5 -.67C which is less of a compromise. I agree that the lifespan of the smaller battery will be...
I found that my air leak, which sometimes showed as leaking thru a spoke hole, was a problem with the valve stem not sealing well. I ended up having to pull the tire and re-seat the stem with a little sealant around the base when installing. I have also fixed a slow leak on a front tire that...
What would be great is for Specialized to drop 10 cells from a 504WHr battery and give us a smaller 378WHr as a range extender battery that would be great in a backpack!
Love the Specialized decal and headtube decal...really adds class to the naked aluminum look! The Pikes with the same treatment would be the shizzle...
