5000 miles on my SL and still find it a joy to ride. often Get back with 50% battery remaining after 30 miles and 3000ft climbing. suites my riding perfectly and that’s what it’s all about. Also come across quite a few out on the trails.

Yes sure is.

my thoughts exactly regarding the torque sensor But specialized seem to just put new motors in regardless if it’s still under warrant. if they say I’ve got to pay then I’ll obviously be asking questions. I’ll keep you posted.

My 2years one week old SL (4500miles) stopped working today. LBS think it’s the torque censor and will need a new motor. anyone else had this issue.

Yes I tentatively tried the screw driver but quickly thought screw that and went for the handle of a 3/8th drive ratchet. popped out a dream. Might try the socket trick next time. .

@Mikerb Tried to get at my front wheel bearings yesterday on my SL and was stumped by the spacers. Just found this post so will try your screwdriver trick. Bit unnecessary complicated affair isn it. Hope ones are doddle to get out in comparison.

Mines carbon and if I can’t get at the bearing with the guide in the way I’m on the verge of binning them. Struggled yesterday so gave up still I’ve had a think how to get round it. My bearing extractor just won’t get at the bearing because the guide is blocking access. Bit of a pain.

You’ve removed the internal guides completely and binned? Any cable rattle without them?

Ha right. There is what looks like a grub screw but smaller than Any thing I’ve seen before. Tried a 2mm Allen key and way too big. thanks. I’ll see if I can find a smaller Allen key.

I’ve got my SL semi stripped down to replace the pivot bearings but I can’t separate the rear triangle from the frame due to the internal cable guides. Any ideas how to get them apart and more importantly how do I get the internal cable guide back in the right place once I’ve separated ?

2600 miles on mine and still mint. Don’t know where your hearing about 100% failure. Do you work for Bosch :unsure:

cant wait to meet up fatty and get a few rides in round the Dordogne.... get that Blevo app and jobs a good un. Janmmy git too finding that:)

so I believe. Bit like running your car engine up hill just above tick over in a tall gear. It’s not as efficient as getting the revs up. Probably puts more load on internal gears and clutches :unsure:

Lowish but not bad. I’m usually 80-90rpm.

yes good shout. I like to work a bit so often have the motor off or in eco. I use turbo a couple of times a ride though. my rides are usually 25 to 30 miles with about 2500ft of climbing nearly all off road natural trails round woods and Dartmoor.bike is coming up to one year old and 2400 miles...

Cool. I’m up to 2300 miles so similar Distance, all good with mine too.

Mine used to squeak from that seal too but it stopped after about 1000 miles.

2150 miles on my SL. totally reliable so far and the only thing that’s worn out is brake pads. Still on original cassette and chain ring (Been using two chains rotated every 200 miles or so). Absolutely love the bike.

Says in the manual to clean and lube under the collar every month . Surly they don’t expect us to take it to the shop for that doing. I’d argue over that. ps. Done mine this morning and feels much smoother. It had started to be reluctant to drop and also wasn’t fully extending if it was only...

Ha thanks Mate. So no danger of things flying out when I undo the colla. Happy days
