I've still got a while left on my 4yr extended warranty but after a couple thousand miles on my 1st replacement motor I think the spray clutch is going. I did have a fairly mild pedal strike a few rides ago and can't help but wonder if the upgraded version referenced in this video might have...
I did have an issue with the original motor on my 2020, but the replacement has been going strong ever since. Coming up on 2400 miles of all smiles. The extended warranty from Specialized is nice but 🤞I won't need it. I love the bike way too much to let a possible problem bother me and with...
How are you measuring the speed you are going? If you are using the Specialized app or some other one that is getting it's speed from the bike then using a planetary mechanism it would think the bike is going only 15 when in reality it's going some ratio faster than that. That's basically the...
You might double check that your your cassette/hub/axel is still tight. Last year I developed a creak that sounded just as you described, only under load and swore it was coming from the crank. After unable to do anything about it on the trail, I took it in to the LBS where I purchased it and...
Just to clarify my earlier post. My similar creak was coming from the interface between the cassette and freehub. However, I've converted to XD so probably not your issue. It was probably mostly due to it not being fully tight but cleaning and lubing didn't hurt either. We were able to...
I had what sounded like the same noise and was certain it was coming from the motor, which had been replaced with the newer spec last fall. It turned out to be the cassette hub needed cleaned and greased. Smooth and silent after that.
I had something similar happen earlier this spring. It turned out to be the cassette hub. A little bit of cleaning and lube and the creaking under load went away.
A week or so ago I had a repetitive creak that only happened when I was pedaling (standing or seated). My first paranoid thought was the motor (yikes!). However, it turned out to be the cassette hub. Clean and lub and all is fine again. :) Usually for me it's the seatpost like Supratad...
You might also double check the distance between the jockey wheels and the cassette cogs at both the largest and smallest gear. It's a separate adjustment screw from the the low/high screws, and could easily be off if the new jockey wheels don't happen to be exactly the same diameter as the...
Specialized Contour XC. Wanted a little platform for wrist support. Thought about Ergon but liked the "tackiness" and reported durability of these. I think I would have been happy with either though.
Yep. That's pretty much what it feels like to me with the FF. I swear it's like it's applying the brakes. It would be nice if the rules allowed for it to still apply just the minimum assistance to offset the drug of the drive so it basically felt like a clockwork bike above the limit, but I...
Really no offense intended to anyone, but I had to chuckle at the thought of the OP's SO hitting that table or any similar park style features ;)
Putting my wife in those shoes there is no way she would ever even want to ever attempt those kinds things. XC style riding with the tires firmly on...
I ran a 220 MDR P on the front all last summer and was very happy. That and some Kevlar pads completely transformed the Guide RE's in a good way. For my weight and riding there was no need to go large on the back. Note that the Magura's are significantly thicker than the stock SRAM rotors so...
I just upgraded the Debonair from the stock 2020 Levo Comp 150mm to the new version 160mm and decided to switch the flip chip to high at the same time. Since it's full on winter here I've only had a chance to do one short ride but the steering feels similar to the 150mm/low. However, the...
My first thought was a test mule/prototype that evaded the crusher. But those would likely not have any branding although I suppose someone could have added the stickers later.
