Honestly its no big deal. The rellacement lever arm just gives a little more clearance between kt and the seat tube....but if ylh fit a rear mudvuard it stols any stlnes etc getting anywhere near the pivot arm and at the same time it shields all the pivot bearings from debris thrown kff the rear tyre. My comp has the original pivot arm and the lbs will change it when I take the bike in for its service...meanwhile its not an issue.. in fact without a mudguard I dont see how a few mm additional clearance will make any difference at all.
A new cable will slide thru with no problems if housing is in good condition
...not quite. Mac poeer determines the max current draw from the battery and therefore the max motor power available. At 100% that equates to a delivery of 4.1 times the torque you input through the cranks. Pedal assist essentially reduces the amount of torque you have to input to get motor assist levels as determined in the settings. If all 3 modes were set at 100% max power...meaning the full 4.1 times motor assist is available.....pedal assist set on turbo at 100% would be twice as easy to access max power in terms of the effort you provide, than 50% pedal assist set on the trail mode. So you play with the 3 settings to suit your riding. I use eco set at 15/35 for level trails and fireroads and downhill runs, trail set at 50/100 for up and down singletrack and most climbing. Turbo set at 100/100 is reserved for very steep and technical ascents provided grip levels are reasonable...max power reduced to 60% for loose or muddy surface. Most of my riding is downhill singletrack through forest...which of course means climbing back up again each time. So I mostly use eco downhill and trail uphill and only occasionally boost. There is little point spending the extra money on an e mtb unless you are going to use it!
Ok, thanks for the quick reply. Another question regarding my medium size turbo levo comp. At the lowest install position the 150mm xfusion seatpost is a little high for my comfort (dropper at full extension), my dealer has had difficulty sourcing the shorter 125mm size. Do you know if these xfusion manic posts are only available OEM? Also, if I have to go with another dropper, can you tell me the maximum length that will fit in the tube. Thanks
Aye, good thought, I’ll suggest they order the wiring harness as well!
Agree. My usual 16-18 mile single track aprox 1000’ gain, I return with 40% reserve on 500wH.
Thanks for the comments everyone, I think I’ll rent one this Monday and see how it goes.
The Bluetooth pairing code is unique to each TCU, see post #1,699. If that sticker is missing, the code is also laser etched onto the underside of TCU, below Made in China, look for P/S: followed by 6 digit number -- that 6 digit number is the Bluetooth pairing code.
