High Rock Ruti Congratulations on the new ride. I have 200 miles on my rail 9.8 and the scratched up custom paint, it was on sale for $500, never again! Loam Wolf just chose it as best all rounder (or some such designation). Really like the bike, I think it handles a little better than the...

High Rock Ruti Ode to ZImmerframe for at least trying to quantify Brose failures. Kudos to Specialized for standing behind their products. Shame on Brose for not working to reduce failures. (3 belt failures 1 Sprague clutch failure) I ride in Turbo almost all the time, so yes I'm harder on...

High Rock Ruti Bearing man Brilliant! I've had the Sprague clutch fail and bike run on. Thanks so much for knowing. Warm Regards Ruti

High Rock Ruti 2016 pivot shuttle came with derailleur attached and spun tearing into the carbon fiber rear triangle, they offered and new rear, I asked for a new bike they said yes. 2019 levo S works came with a deep scratch, Specialized offered $1350 I countered $2000 (almost in jest) they...

High Rock Ruti Hello KNTR I'm riding two ebikes (not at the same time) 2016 Pivot Shuttle, fantastic bike and really dependable Shimano drive, and a new Rail 9.8 with RC2 damper upgrade. First Bosch drive really like the motor battery, the rail handles really well, the Rockshox's I'm still...

High Rock Ruti Brose S mag averaged 200 mile per motor, 4 motor failures, 8 months Specialized took bike back and refunded money.

High Rock Ruti Good Morning Robert I have a bad knuckle joint in my left thumb too. I had the wolfstooth long throw (greater leverage) installed. I'm not sure I would install the long throw again actuation is a little vague and throw is really long but incredibly easy to move. However the...

High Rock Ruti Good Morning Steve With gear I weigh 210 pounds, I do ride in boost the entire time and the riding is herky jerky technical riding in 3rd gear going up and over and 4-7 gears rolling down. 8-10 miles to flashing red. Not sure how long but I reckon between 1 and 2 hours. As a...

High Rock Ruti I use 510 impacts high backs on flat pedals, a little hot, but fantastic support through mid ankle.

High Rock Ruti 65 and full of BS. I started at 59 with analogue bike. Bought a Levo a year later, I am never going back. I'm impressed with the mileage numbers you're all reporting. Long ride for me is 14 miles, I will add that when I ride my Shimano bike with 504 watt battery on technical...

High Rock Ruti I'm getting 750 miles out of a chain and cassette, when I lube I use a lube that came in a spray bottle with a finger pump, (don't lube your brake rotor tends to reduce stopping power) but mostly lube to improve shifting, E Bikes eat chains and cassettes, having an extra 3/4 of...

High Rock Ruti Another thing to check for is metal filings attached the magnetic connector preventing stronger contact with the battery

HORSPWR I'm so flattered that you noticed, it's a "nickname" from a riding buddy who entered my name on his cell phone based on where we meet, namely High Rock, AKA Needham Town Forest, and I start every post with it because....I'm an insecure wanker, oh wait, that's not what meant to say, I'm...

High Rock Ruti 2019 Turbo Levo S works, full refund after the fourth motor failure in less than a 1000 miles. 3 belts failed and 1 sprag clutch. I bought the 2020 Trek Rail 9.8, the shop threw in the fancy damper from the 9.9, and going to install the 2021 air spring, The Levo is just plane...

High Rock Ruti Love the levo's hate the motor failures. The S works SL is over 13K, it's crazy expensive. I ride almost everyday and chew up the bikes, I don't ride that well so I'm bashing into stuff constantly, plus bikes are getting so much better so quickly, I can afford them, but I can't...

High Rock Ruti Any speculation about when they'll make a Turbo Levo with a Brose that doesn't BREAK?

High Rock Ruti 1400 calories that's about all this 65 year old can handle. Outside Boston we have a technical dream called (youtube) Lynnwoods, rode 3.46 miles about 2 1/2 hours 1487 calories, very technical!

High Rock Ruti Sitting in quarantine I have been cutting a new trail through the woods for the last seven days, an hour and half a day, looks like 600-900 calories. So far Massachusetts has not ordered stay at home, essential businesses are furloughed. I avoid all people, zoom like crazy and...
