    In case someone asks why cyclists take the road

    No. The speed limit is the maximum legally permissible speed, full stop. It's not the minimum speed, a passing speed, or an entitled speed. Absolutely, but there is a right way and a wrong way. I've been riding Angeles Crest Highway since I was a teenager and the side of the road is a bad place...

    Levo SL Gen 1 Levo SL 2023 Megathread

    Local dealer has had absolutely zero gen 3 levos on the sales floor for months. There are 2-3 KSLs in inventory. Meanwhile, at the very back of the dealership is a fleet (10-15? Something like that) of Levo SLs stacked tightly together side by side. I don't think you need omniscience or an...

    New Bosch kiox software update - V3.1.1.0

    It's supposed to show some flavor of how you're doing compared to your average speed.

    Ugh. Shouldn't be so hard to get a small part like that. DSD Runt is worth considering as an alternative: The RUNT for FOX 38 — Diaz Suspension Design

    Levo Gen 3 Specialized Gen 3 2022 Levo Megathread!

    No, the main battery is installed and I charged it up to about 50%. The firmware is the factory default, showing a turtle icon locked to something like 15kph and saying that it needs to be updated. Maybe this has something to do with the firmware.

    Levo Gen 3 Specialized Gen 3 2022 Levo Megathread!

    How long can the bike sleep before the Mastermind's battery is too weak to start up? On the Levo, I just have a frame so putting it to normal riding use isn't an option yet. It seems that I have to pull the TCU and charge it up on the USB-C port every few weeks. Seems a bit fiddly - is that normal?

    Encourage your kids to start climbing by repairing Ebike batteries

    Interesting that FDNY policy is that they won't transport ebikes in ambulances.

    What apps are you running on your Garmin Edge?

    It's a ConnectIQ field. I'm not sure how you'd use it on a desktop machine, but with your Garmin phone app you'd download it, synch to the 130, and then on the Edge you add the field from the ConnectIQ portion of the field menu.

    Kenevo SL Official 2022 Kenevo SL (KSL) Megathread!

    I just received something very interesting from @Specialized Rider Care. They claim that the maximum seatpost insertion depth in the Kenevo SL user manual is wrong and nowhere near the actual insertion depth. This is from the manual: and this was from Specialized Rider Care: The max...

    WARNING! To Bosch powered ebike owners (pre 2020)

    Hi Bearing Man. Thanks for your input. Do you have a video or written guide on how to do this? I skimmed through the Bosch videos you have but it didn't seem like any of them were applicable.

    You're affixing the wrap over the tape and then making a cut along the perimeter of the halo?

    Unanswered Wheel truing stand recommendations

    Done that in a stand before but never tried flipping it on a bike. Could you get enough clearance between the derailleur and rotor by shifting or would you have to pull one or the other?

    Sounds good. Can you elaborate on how you trimmed to avoid the halo?

    Levo Gen 3 Specialized Gen 3 2022 Levo Megathread!

    Question for anyone who installed tailored kits for Invisiframe or Ridewrap on their Levo: There are a few bits of wrap installed at the factory. Are you all peeling it off to avoid creating bubbles/halos when you lay down the wrap? On a side note, Invisiframe does come with a couple pieces...

    Other Mastermind (TCU 2) "How to" guides

    It's pretty safe to assume that the Brose 2.2 motor will report its version number somewhere in the communication protocol to the Mastermind. Doesn't mean it couldn't be hacked. Doesn't mean you couldn't keep using the Mastermind with older firmware.

    The manual lists 2.5 and 2.6 max in different sections and throws in a caution that not all 2.6 tires may clear all forks.

    Can the Praxis M30 spindle be swapped out for another brand's 30mm spindle?

    Best eMTB 12 speed chain? **UPDATE**

    Never tried SRAM and Shimano 12 speed back to back, but KMC e12 to Shimano XT was a very noticeable improvement. Honestly don't know what Orbea was thinking specifying the e12 on the bike. It's not like the cassette is an e-bike cassette.
