It's more difficult than you'd think compared to SC trail bikes. Rear triangle gets a foam sleeve stuffed down inside, then the rubber grommet fitted around it and the speed sensor wire. After the brake hose enters the front triangle, there's about 2-3" before it enters a guide tube, which is...
My bike came with a foam tube in the rear triangle around the brake line already. Check with your shop if they left it in place. In terms of rattles, mine is mostly pretty quiet - every now and then I hear something, but not certain where it's coming from. If I had to guess, it's from the...
I just put a Vivid on my HSL - first ride it felt great. I checked with SC first that it would fit, and asked their thoughts on tune. They said they didn't have an official tune, but something similar to some of their other bikes would work well. So I found one with a C37 R25 tune (same as...
I haven't had a DU replacement (only had the bike for about a month) but:
*running custom profile also that was given to me by a buddy who's had his HSL longer than me
Breeze: 150 max power @ 150 rider power, 52% acceleration
River: 300 max power @ 170 rider power, 65% acceleration
Rocket...
Yeah, winch & plummet (although I didn't ride a couple of our steeper trails because they were still wet). I currently weigh about 163, 5'8". I've never done a proper FTP test, but using the internet calculators by age & weight, they say 300w.
I got a few more rides in on my new HSL after the rain let up, and I'll just say that this is a damn fun bike. It's much better handling than my Levo was, and way easier to bunny hop and pop off smaller features. Like others have said, it uses it's travel exceptionally well. The only time I...
Yeah, so as others have said here, Fazua "just works" with Garmin. No idea why Wahoo can't but whatever. I just searched for nearby devices on my new 540 and it saw "ebike" even with the HSL turned off. (Guessing that's also why the ebike battery has drained to 88% over the last week without...
I ordered a Garmin 540 since my Wahoo has been kinda flakey lately anyways. I'll try setting it up on there and try to put together a how-to if I'm successful.
I did press my buddy also on a HSL more about how he set his up (he's not super tech savvy), and he did say that on his Garmin watch...
The guy I rode with just described it as that, and showed me on his Garmin watch and 530. He said you install a widget or something, which gives you 2 different preconfigured Fazua screens. I forget the exact different fields, but it was like battery percentage, mode, and some stuff I don't...
I got my HSL built up, at least mostly, and got 1 ride in before the rain returned. My buddy who delivered it was also on his, and we did about 4,150 ft in 2:15 moving time. We ran Breeze on low angle fire roads, River most of the time, and Rocket on the steeper punchy bits. We each had about...
Well, my buddy won't stop raving about his HSL, so I ordered one for myself. Getting an S build and basically flipping most of the components over to my Levo to sell that or just use it for trail work.
Good to know. Yeah, we have some climbs that are 15-20% (the "easy" ones are 10%), so as long as the motor and I give enough power, that's why I was thinking 4k in 2 hours might be possible. Total winch & plummet terrain. On the Levo I recently did an after work ride that was 3,800' in 1:05...
