    Share Your Tips & Tricks, for.... Cleaning Brake Pistons

    Cleaning brake pistons to ensure even activation is part of regular maintenance, but not a job I’ve ever thought I’ve mastered. The sticky pistons are always improved by my attempts, but never regain equal status with the smooth side pistons. I tend to wedge a pair open while I work on the...

    Levo Gen 2 CSU Creak & Warranty

    I’m fairly sure my front end creaking is the well known, “CSU Creak” on my 18 month old Carbon Levo. Two questions if you please: 1. The forks are now out of warranty but does the super duper @Specialized Rider Care cover me at all here? 2. If there’s no warranty coverage in the worst case...

    Mixing Rotor Manufacturers

    Not very exciting this, soz!! I need a new brake rotor for the SRAM Guide brakes on my Levo but there’s not much stock out there so may not be able to buy SRAM. I need 200mm 6 bolt. Any issues of compatibility by going non-SRAM? Only thing I can think of is rotor thickness, but would be...

    How do you carry your phone?

    I’ve used several recent iPhone models mounted to bars of road and MTB via a Quadlock mount. Cameras have remained fine. Not sure there is an issue. My new iPhone 12 will also go in the bars via same method.

    Shimano Compatibility Help

    Due to availability of parts/prices gone for Deore Medium cage on both, 11-42 on the 26” bike, 11-36 on the 24” bike. Both worked immediately with no drama and work smoothly. Thanks for the help.

    Kenevo Gen1 Where is my derestrictor?

    If the motor/TCU firmware is old enough, it may have been done in software by the BLEVO app.

    Shimano Compatibility Help

    Primary reason is to stop the kids moaning on the climbs ? As daft as this setup might sound, I saw a 24” Cube hard tail not long ago that had 1x10, 32 upfront and 11-46 at the rear (factory spec not aftermarket), so figured if that was factory built and worked so should mine. I knew I was...

    Shimano Compatibility Help

    Thanks @Gary a couple of things I’ll check there. I’ve got a hanger alignment tool and have checked the hangers are straight. All kit is new & Deore. I’m assuming I’ve made a mistake On the 24” wheel bike as have just about got it working on the 26” wheeler, although mech clearance is tight and...

    I’ve misjudged you lot, I thought this sort of question would have got your juices flowing. If I pretend these parts are on my Levo will that help?

    Shimano Compatibility Help

    Not specifically ebike but here goes... I’m struggling to get an RD-610 10 sp rear mech working with SL-M6000R shifter in a 1x10 setup on my kids bikes. Shifting to bigger gear needs a click and a half if not more on the shifter. Given there’s little friction (new cables) I’m wanting to know if...
