    What's on your wrist ( watch or gizmo)?

    It can also stand for any Central Committee of the Communist party such as the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party. And...Huawei is a Chinese company. And the person who criticised my choice of watch because it finances the enemy and weakened our national security uses products from...

    But aren't Trek Rails made in China? And don't you own one?

    What's on your wrist ( watch or gizmo)?

    If the Chinese intelligence are listening to my biking banter then they are in trouble!

    Life expectancy of 2023 Specialized Levo comp alloy or any ebike in general?

    I have a 2018 Specialized Kenevo just over 8000 miles used mostly off-road. It's on its 4th battery and third motor (that's also been repaired). Specialized still have parts available even though the Gen1 has been obsolete since 2019. Most recently they warranty replaced the 3rd battery I bought...

    Levo Gen 2 Are Brose & Specialized Fixing Their Motor Problem ?

    I had my out of warranty motor refurbished by Bearing Man and they fitted x-type o-rings external to the motor on the crankshaft and I think that has helped keep moisture out. Something you could easily do. I like the Brose motor for it's quiet smooth power. I have another bike with a Bosch...

    Hi Rod, I'm thinking of changing from a Kenevo to a Rise. I see you've changed from a Rise to a Levo. I'm a little concerned about the robustness of the Rise. I'd like more range, less motor support and lower weight. What differences have you noticed with Rise/Levo ownership both in terms of use...

    Mission Control New Specialized app?

    Has anyone used the new Specialized App on the Gen1 Kenevo? I have experienced a number of issues including: difficulty connecting to the bike each time, problems using the Tune page to alter the mode settings. It works fine on my Gen 1 Creo apart from also being difficult to connect each time...

    Kenevo Gen1 Specialized Handlebar Remote mode buttons

    I found a tiny hole in the switch membrane which was probably letting in water. After drying it out, it worked fine and I now have a new remote switch as a spare!

    Kenevo Gen1 Specialized Handlebar Remote mode buttons

    Just after starting a ride this week (Kenevo Gen1) my motor started cutting in and out. After a trying a few things like reboot, disconnect and reconnect battery, clean the speed sensor & magnet I noticed that the handlebar remote had stopped working - all was fine for the first 15 minutes of...

    Levo Gen 2 Motor not disengaging?

    Hi Mike, there is no maintenance recommended by Specialized and driping lube of any kind into the crankshafts is not a good idea. I had one of my motors rebuilt by Performance Line Bearings (www.ebikemotorcentre.com) and they added external x-ring seals which I have found work really well at...

    Rockshox spares in the UK

    Sram have told me that the flanged crush washer can be reused and should seal until it's replaced at the 200hr service. If it doesn't I'll use the standard crush washers as you suggested - thanks👍

    Rockshox spares in the UK

    I haven't had a chance to contact J-Tech yet but TF Tuned said they didn't supply bulk washer kits to the public (Can't say I'm surprised given it's in their interest to sell servicing). I've finally found a local shop that said they can supply Rockshox parts but they need to check availability...

    Rockshox spares in the UK

    Hi Steve, I already found those too but there are no foreign suppliers with the correct part either. Frankly, I'm shocked that many of my local bike shops are stocking show rooms full of bikes fitted with Rockshox suspension yet they openly admit that they can't obtain spares. I did try TF Tuned...
