High Rock Ruti As the undisputed motor replacement champion (9 motors across 3 bikes 2 full refunds, third refund approaching) Unless you have a backup bike, buy a Bosche driven bike, or be without. Bike is in shop as I write this, awaiting word from Specialized, who is absolutely fantastic at...

High Rock Ruti Now I buy the $11 saftey glasses on Amazon with readers built, you know my $160 Smiths are somewhere on trail as are my $364 Oakley's I hope someone at least found them; so they have the chance to enjoy/loose them too! Warm Regards Ruti

High Rock Ruti I've got the gold on order, (shit that's sort of revealing isn't it?) I've found Pole to be very responsive to emails. I wonder about durability too. So glad they dumped Brose, 2021 Turbo Levo Pro on the fourth motor, less than 1500 miles, unfortunately the bike is otherwise...

High Rock Ruti I identify with your confusion. I was mystified by suspension set up, which why the reply is long winded An important thing about spacers is they allow the fork/shock to remain high in the stroke, low in pressure and progressive during deeper compression, any attempt to slow...

High Rock Ruti For what it's worth, I have the Lyric on 2020 with the fancy dampener Trek rail 9.8 and the 38 on the 2021 Levo and 2019 Orbea (bent 36 replaced). I've never been able to get the plushness with the Lyric that the fox offers. I've spent many hours trying to tune both forks and...

High Rock Ruti Three pairs, E13 would not stand behind the cranks, bought bike on the West Coast, sent east no LBS, gave up and used Race Face arms no problem since, not even loose ever! Warm Regards Ruti

High Rock Ruti If the force of the impact is high enough our ribs will break even if the impact is directly on the armor...I wish that understanding was theoretical and not actual, and I still wear it when the riding calls for it. So many hard falls and no injuries, sometimes armor works...

High Rock Ruti Your cassette is trashed, ONE RESPONDER "no burring on the teeth" WTF does that mean? The profile of the teeth is alongated allowing the chain rollers to skip up and over the top of the cog teeth had the same problem this week new chain made it worse which makes sense the...

High Rock Ruti Your shock needs more air I'm 210 pounds with gear I'm running 230 to 250 psi full stroke no harsh bottom out. About 90 to 95 psi in the 38 grip 2 3 spacers . Very plush off the top compression I run almost wide open I usually adjust mostly with pressure and rebound. Sounds...

High Rock Ruti Two motors had broken Sprague clutches, one was crazy noisy at brand new. Motor number 4 is fine.....with about 75 miles on it? My LBS Butchikas Bike And Ski in New Hampshire USA, is a great shop and Specialized is always fantastic about warranty, always! I wish Specialized...

High Rock Ruti AXS dropper is the best dropper I've ever used (hard stop, period) Warm Regards Ruti

High Rock Ruti You'll need a LBS with the Levo, on the 4th motor in 1200 miles. Warm Regards Ruti

High Rock Ruti I just bought two 12 sp chains $24 each I carry a spare in my pack I break 2 a year give or take. E bikes eat drive trains 750 to 950 miles. Has anyone tried shimano's new m4100 cassette, chain, shifter, derailleur $159 USD speaking to Shimano it's recommended for e bikes...

High Rock Ruti Less often than motor failures, but battery cables get changed regularly too. Warm Regards Ruti

Waiting on the Pole Voima, first long travel bike at 190. The turbo Levo will be back next week, with motor # 4. I've had a philosophical shift, transcendence really, I stopped caring about failed motors, instead of asking for the refund now I'm going to wait to have it offered when they...

High Rock Ruti Hey Bummer great screen name. I wear my old POC full hardshell ankle to over top of knee every ride, without exception. If it's trail riding I'll wear a hydration pack every time, I've gone over the bars also looped out backwards landing on the pack several times. Full face...

High Rock Ruti I've got the Duthie platypus small pack 3 liters trim profile holds entirely too much Warm Regards Ruti

High Rock Ruti I post on this topic so often that my cell phone predictive texts my name HRR. Just dropped off my brand-new third motor for the exact same noise symptom. After warming up the motor is very noisy I'll try to attach the video that was sent to Specialized. They asked for me to...

High Rock Ruti Buy the new Rise and you've already answered your own question about keeping a "spare" bike for just this scenario. I've got 4 e bikes and the 5th on the way, I've had two bikes out of commission at least twice, road the third bike. Bikes become un-ridable not just from...

High Rock Ruti Yes Brose motors fail, Sprague clutches, if the bearing man is correct in his diagnosis of the rear wheel not turning backwards after failure. For the life of me why Specialized hasn't chosen a new motor is a mystery. Have a deposit on the Pole Voima, Pole, suddenly decided...
