I haven’t noticed mine doing that or having that noise. Are you you 100% sure it’s not the seat post? I Have also heard seat rails make a similar noise.
Did a quick 10 miles this morning before I had to head out to work. In a nutshell, this is why I wanted this bike. The update fixed everything on my end. I don't have a wheel sensor for my Garmin, so I am only going by satellite, but it seems to cut out right at 19.5-20.5 mph on my end...
I got the update done this evening. Unfortunately, it as too late to hit the trail. I did ride it up and down the road in front of my house. Seat of the pants, it’s definitely better. I shifted in and out of assist multiple times and it never went into sleep mode. I didn’t have my garmin...
I haven't talked to my dealer since last week, but when I last did, he said they were working on it and hoped to have a fix 'soon.' It's a new product, so I completely understand the hick-up. As long as this is sorted soon, I'll be fine. Beside, I still have my Rail to ride in the meantime. :)
According to Fazua, it is only a fireware update. I don't have a dealer 'close' to me, so I have to schedule time to get to one. Probably won't be able to for a week or so because of work schedule. Stupid work, always getting in the way.
Mine is cutting out at the EU standard 25kph. Apparently some were shipped from Fazua with the incorrect software package. They have been super easy to deal with, but something to check just in case. I agree with what you said earlier, I was a little worried about the 132mm rear travel, but...
Handling wise, I love it. The bike definitely has a more 'in it' feeling as compared to an 'on top of it' feeling, but that might just be me. The short chainstays make the bike very quick turning, but it does give you a bit of a sensation that you are sitting on the back wheel. I, like some...
The bike is pretty darn awesome. If I sat down and drew up plans for a bike, it pretty much would be this thing. It's just growing pains I guess with a new motor system, not Pivot's fault. Just like the Brose in the Levo's, Specialized built a great product, but the motors are sometimes the...
Well, mine got the white dot tonight, twice, and lost drive. It happened while I was moving, not timing out. I guess I am headed to the bike shop to get an update. Fazua needs to get with the times and allow updates over the phone like Specialized, especially at this price point. No matter...
Mark, if you get an answer on the ring controller, please let us know. Mine sticks too and I have already cracked the housing. I didn't even hit anything, just grabbed it to rotate and it snapped at the bolt. Wasn't amused at all.
I'm not Rob or the Loam Wolf guys, but I have had a bunch of emtbs and here is my short term review:
For reference, I am 51, 5'10 185 lbs and went with a size large.
Over the last 6 years, I have had quite a few e-mtbs - 16 Levo Expert, 19 Levo Expert, 20 Levo SL, 21 Trek Rail 9.8XT and 21...
Nice write up on the Shuttle SL. I assume you are in the UK? Would you be willing to do me a favor? Would you mind checking to see what version software your bike has installed? The one I rode today had version 1.4 for both motor system and firmware.
