    Mission Control How to set TCU («display») in «update» mode on 2020 Levo ?

    Updated the MC app, and get a notification that there is a «display update». Version number lists say I am up to date though. How do I set the TCU in «update mode»?

    Zermatt 2020 EWS E Bike racing has arrived.

    Stage 5, the “Power stage”? No, actually not all Bosch, Levy Batista on the 108Nm Rocky Mountain Dyname motor suddenly jumped to a second place on that stage, overall 17th though.

    Zermatt 2020 EWS E Bike racing has arrived.

    Actually even the Orbea on men’s sixth also has a Bosch motor. The Canyon on fourth has a Shimano motor I believe. I noticed there’s at least the very different Dyname 3.0 motor of a Rocky Mountain on Men’s seventh place. EDIT: In the final overall results the Canyon/Shimano fell downward, and...

    Zermatt 2020 EWS E Bike racing has arrived.

    I think Jose Borges rides for the Miranda Factory Team, which looks to me to ride KTM e-bikes. Which would be a Bosch motor again on third.

    Zermatt 2020 EWS E Bike racing has arrived.

    I hate the word “analog”/“analogue” too in that use! I just wanted to make sure everybody saw I meant mtb enduro (which would have been better in hindsight). Also the “in other words” kerfuffle was me thinking you misunderstood my conclusion. Forgotten. Wouldn’t there be climbing section in...

    Zermatt 2020 EWS E Bike racing has arrived.

    Apologies to both of you, I’m not a native English speaker, so the term “box rule” may not have been used right. And I’m frankly out of my depth. But I totally agree about the negative effects if it were to go all the way of big-business motorsport. I would just not be surprised if that, or MX...

    Zermatt 2020 EWS E Bike racing has arrived.

    It's not in other words. It's nearly exactly what I said. Much like in other motor sports the motor innovations will be as important as rider fitness and weight. Much like with all other components of a racing bike, be it latest XTR drivetrain, latest carbon wheel set or testing out a new...

    Zermatt 2020 EWS E Bike racing has arrived.

    They state they won’t police batteries and their capacity and just let technology run its course. With their max 250W continuous and support to 25km/h motor rules, it seems they will only enforce an EU-based “box rule” which I think will make motor manufacturers innovate faster (and the...

    Zermatt 2020 EWS E Bike racing has arrived.

    What bike were you planning to ride? I haven't seen any Levos even though the whole thing is sponsored by Specialized ? I hope I can enter the EWS-E 50 or 100 at one of the European venues next year. EMTB forums should sponsor jerseys;)

    Zermatt 2020 EWS E Bike racing has arrived.

    No live coverage? A bit odd considering COVID and no public, also as they’re trying to get people interested in a new racing form.

    Rocky Mountain Instinct Powerplay 2021

    I would I love to be part of a community of RM riders, but I’m not on Facebook, so for me it would be great if Rob would add an RM specific sub forum here. I use Tapatalk on my iPhone to interact with forums and I guess that makes the user experience somewhat like the Facebook app.

    Does anybody know how I can watch the EWS-E in Zermatt this weekend (without being there) ?

    Rocky Mountain Instinct Powerplay 2021

    In general that’s true because of the suspension I believe, but there’s a fitment chart showing it fits on the XL sizes of the Instinct BC Alloys. https://www.bikes.com/sites/default/files/resources/Fitment_Chart_Overtimepack.pdf I have since changed my order from BC A70 to a BC C90, and...

    Levo Gen 2 Who has already updated his 2019/20 Levo to motor v. 7.3.6 ?

    Agree with this. I got the new 2021 motor as replacement with latest firmware and turbo kicks! Remember to reset your tuning in MC. Walk-mode is a bit wonky but I found I have to start pushing before it starts.

    Rocky Mountain Instinct Powerplay 2021

    Yes, probably. There was however a question whether the part before the ampersand (High Cadence Boost) also was firmware or physical change. I would guess firmware though.

    Levo Gen 2 Odometer reset with new motor?

    Same. Reset motor mileage at motor replacement.

    Rocky Mountain Instinct Powerplay 2021

    I wrote a support ticket asking what and to which. I’m not that eloquent in American-English but that ampersand in between makes it sound to me at least that both is firmware. Would seem you still have done a very good choice (and from your Strava live a very nice MTB-place but that’s another...

    Rocky Mountain Instinct Powerplay 2021

    The 2021s are public on Instinct Powerplay BC Edition now! Nothing super-exciting but after the Drive specification it now says “Upgraded High Cadence Boost & Power Extension Firmware”.... The latter part is probably related to the Overtimepack extra battery(?), but does anyone know anything...
