I used to use Muc-off wet lube during winter and then the dry lube during summer (what's that?). I cleaned my drive train regularly in between applications. It was always a bit of a mess to clean and I was never really happy with it.

Bar and steerer cutting tool by "Toseek" and Tungsten Carbide hacksaw blade by Plastiplug. Both ebay purchases.
Cutting tool required a washer to space it put a bit as the TC blades are a bit thicker than normal.
Respectfully, that's a load of shit. I have a Fazua Ride 60 and it's great - it might well die in the future, and probably will. My previous Bosch CX did as well at just over 1k miles.
Have you not realised yet that we're all beta testers with this tech? Spesialized were masters at selling...

Manufacturer Ion

Asking Price £45

Yes, I love this bike.
Only changed saddle (a must) and 35mm Cannondale carbon bars and a PRO Koryak E stem. I did have a nice DMR Defy stem but it didn't play well with the stem mounted computer, in my case a Sigma Rox 11.1 Evo, which works well with the Lyke BTW.

Got a shout out for the Lyke on the EMTB show this week... Out and about section or whatever it's called with this shot..
Not the best photo, but Edinburgh, Arthur's Seat and Salisbury Crags in the background.....
