I want to order a 200 hour service kit for my 2018 Rockshox Lyric RCT 3 (on a Specialized Kenevo) . The fork originally came with a solo air spring but I upgraded it with a Debonair spring. One shop says that the correct service kit is ROCKSHOX SERVICE KIT B1 200H FOR LYRIK / PIKE DEBONAIR 29+...
I would, but six weeks is too long to be without the bike, and chf 200 is too much for a simple and quick job, especially when I can do the job myself. There is not much that can go wrong with the air can (apart from leaks) but if I suspected a damping issue, this would be a warranty case.
For what its worth I asked my LBS about changing my Rise from 60 to 85 and the chap said he had tried both and preferred the RS tune of 60nm as the bike felt more natural and he got more range. I guess if you ride with others who have got full fat bikes and ride in turbo a lot you might want to...
I have a 2018 Kenevo and a 2022 Orbea rise. The main reason I got the Rise was because of the limitations of the 500w battery in my Kenevo. I enjoy both bikes and like the contrast between them. If a ride is technical and/or very rocky and not too long, I'll take the Kenevo, which is very good...
Agree. Kit is on order! I like to do all my own maintenance, on my bikes and motorbikes. For me it is part of the pleasure of owning a bike. I was just shocked that the shop thought it was acceptable for a bike to be off the road for a month and half and cost 200 quid for what is probably a...
I went to one of my local LBS yesterday and asked about giving my Fox rear shock a 50 hour service (removal of air can, replace seals and oil), asking about a service kit. I was told that I should let the shop send it off to Fox for this job and it would cost about chf 200 (about £190) and it...
I had a knee replacement four years ago (age 64). First the good news. I’m a mountain guide and ski most days in the winter. I cannot honestly feel any difference between my two knees, same going uphill. Cycling is fine. Bit stiff at first but soon eases off (I think I have about 120 degrees...
I went and spoke to my nearest Shimano dealer and he said he’s ridden EP8 with 85nm and EP
8 RS with 65nm and said that the RS was a much nicer ride and wouldn’t recommend changing. He said it’s possible to change to 85nm without using unblocker and voiding guarantee but it has to be done with...
You are making the mistake of thinking an ebike is a bike. It’s a completely different type of transport, in a category of its own. You can do many things on an e-bike which are impossible on an analogue bike. Conversely, there are a few things that you can do on a analog bike would you can’t do...
It’s not just worries about motors and batteries. The controller on my 2018 Kenevo cracked and walk mode stopped working (quite important on a 25kilo bike). My LBS said spare was out of stock and there was no date when it would be in stock. Specialized U.K. said the same thing. Eight months...
I notice that the new H20Rise has motor with 95nm. I guess it’s the same motor as my H10. Does this mean that we will be able to update our 60nm motors?
I have both; a Kenevo and an Orbea rise. I have a slightly different take to most views on this matter, which concentrate on how fast one can go uphill/how hard one has to work. I actually enjoy riding both bikes and bought the Rise to compliment the Kenevo rather than replace it. I tend to ride...
I upgraded to STX 4 piston and 203 rotor on front and left back standard. Best set up I’ve ever used - great modulation and power. One finger braking and no fade on steep 1000m descent.
Not sure what you mean by bike been tuned it 500w on profile 2 boost. E-TUBE project just has torque settings for each mode in each profile, but no option to change power in watts. According to Orbea Default in boost profile 2 is max power of 60nm and nominal power output of 250w so how do you...
Mixed feelings about runnning tubeless. I think if one rides in an area with lots of thorns, it’s a pretty good idea. I hit a sharp rock and ripped a sidewall on my tubeless set up, so had to use an inner tube to get home. I repaired the rip but I could not get the tyre to seal to the rim, so...
Many thanks for comprehensive explanation. I’m not sure I understood everything but I think I (and maybe others!) have got the gist of it. I think there is a bit of confusion (caused by Orbea) by giving the impression that not only will the motor react to rider input by increasing power but also...
I’ve just done the biggest ride so far on my rise H30 using the battery extender. It was 45 km and about 1000 m of ascent. All of this was done in boost at the highest level of support - (my excuse is I was riding with people on full fat bikes]. When I got back I had 7% left, which I guess is...
5000k on my cassette on my 2018 Kenevo. Just put Third chain on. If I pedal at a slow cadence in top gear (which I only do to see what happens) chain might slip. In all other normal riding, no problems. I’ve got a new replacement cassette but not bothered to put it on. Also 5500k on my 2017 KTM...
I thought that the latest belts were not supposed to break until they have done a significant distance. Specialized recommend changing at 15,000k!. I've done over 3000k on my second motor. I had Pete at PLB to a service on it and he did not replace the belt as he said it was in good condition...
I phoned Specialized rider care, (in the UK) and was told that there is a world wide shortage of controllers and he had no idea when they would be available. Furthermore, even if they do become available in the UK they would not be able to send one to Switzerland (he said because of Brexit...
