The piston which does the tilt in mine popped out. It went back to Specialized but apparently it’s not covered by warranty (although within the warranty period) and I will have to pay for a “service” despite the fact it was working fine before it broke. I went to collect it last week, but when...
Thanks for replies and tips about how to change the bearings. If bearings run smoothly, does a little bit of play matter if you can't feel it and the disc does not rub on cornering (back wheel). It would seem that any play in the front wheel would more likely to cause problems, due to sideways...
Do you do it yourself? Do you have the tools to get the bearings out and press them in or do you get your LBS to do it? I would prefer to do it myself, but I believe the tools are expensive.
My rear wheel on my 2018 Kenevo has some play. You can push it sideways and it kind of clicks. Actually, it’s had play certainly since about 500k and it hasn’t got any worse. I believe they are sealed cartridge bearings and cannot be adjusted. My LBS said there is always some play with these...
Verbier is open. You have to wear a mask in the Telecabine. It’s pissed with rain for two days now but forecast is very good for rest of the week and it dries out quite quickly. COVID cases in Switzerland were 66 yesterday. No quarantine for U.K. visitors at the moment and unless situation...
In the service manual it says when you remove or replace the dropper post, you have to feed the cable through at the same time, which is an acknowledgement that the outer cable is a tight fit, which seems to be where it feeds around the motor. When I pull the cable out the plastic is quite...
When I connect with MC it goes into a loop of disconnecting and reconnecting about every five seconds. I have deleted the app and reinstalled, deleted the bike from the app, turned my phone off and on. When I go to add a bike it finds it even with the battery switched off - I thought it...
I have a Garmin Edge 520, with the ebike field AppI prefer this to the Specialized Levo app. I like the way you can customise the display and I find it very useful to have the support mode showing and battery percentage. My 2018 Kenevo only has display lights on battery and this doesn’t work...
It is the quality of the suspension that matters, more than the amount, both climbing and descending. In a big test of bikes, emountainbiking magazine found to their surprise that the Kenevo was the best climber and was obviously at home on technical and steep descents. I have the older...
406 cases per 100,000 17th of European countries (U.K. 452). Cases did go down to zero but there seems to be a bit of a spike. I’m also thinking of going to Davos/Klosters. It’s the other side of Switzerland from where I live but they have really gone all out to develop mountain biking, with...
I live in Switzerland. I would not be too concerned worries quarantine on return to U.K. as Switzerland has one of the lowest rates of infections in a Europe (210 cases and 1 death yesterday) The government here seem to have got it about right and are widely supported. The only issue is that if...
My recollection from this forum is that there were also failures on the previous motors (1.2 & 1.3). I have just had my 1.3 2018 Kenevo motor replaced and given I have less than a month on guarantee, my understanding is that my new motor will not be guaranteed if it goes. My last Kenevo was only...
Had a new motor fitted and creak came back, even going downhill. Battery out - another load of silicone grease on the rubber support at the bottom of the battery, and noise gone. Something must be flexing down there. Only applies to up to 2018 Levos and up to 2019 Kenevo.
Unless I’ve missed it - duck tape -it can fix all sorts of problems. You can always wrap a metre or so around a tube. If in an unfamiliar area with dodgy phone signal, a map isn’t a bad idea.
If you keep cadence to about 70rpm, which seems to be sweet spot for most motors and use a heart rate monitor or power monitor, it should be possible to monitor how much effort you are putting in. As I posted the other day, I’m going to do a big climb twice, once in trail and once in Turbo and...
Not just helmets. Came off the other day and hit my head pretty hard, but also my knee, forearm and shoulder. All were protected by armour except for small cut above ankle. No real damage apart from weird pain in shoulder blade which keeps me awake at night. First big off this year, and not the...
I use Turbo most of the time In any hill where I can’t get to the cut out in trail (which is most places in the Alps where I live). I love the feeling of Turbo and the main reason is not to use less effort, I’ll use the same effort as I might in Trail or eco but I’ll get up any hill quicker. I...
I have just come out of a ten day stay in hospital having contracted tick borne encephalitis. I've actually been ill for six weeks, but eventually I had to be hopitalised, where a lumbar puncture confirmed I had the disease. It has a fatality rate of between 1 -2%. Although I am now making a...
Interesting. My LBS Lent me a post, because My bike was off the road so long. They said specialized would send my WU post when it was repaired, but that was two weeks ago now, So I don’t know what they are doing.
Is there any evidence that the 2019/2020 motor is more likely to fail than the old 1.2 and 1.3 motor? My 2018 Kenevo has just had its motor replaced after 2300k. It had not failed as such but had started to make a loud grunching noise when hot, which I believe is a precursor to eventual...
