I got out and stayed warm and dry today. Bike is covered in shit but then again it was when I set off. I came from weekend warrior downhill where it was saturdays pushing up with the lads. If you don’t ride in the wet you would hardly ever get out. An ebike makes the weather bearable for me. If...
Gotta say I wouldn’t expect much above 3 to 3.5 at 9 months old for mine. Think a nice one is a bargain at that considering the spec though. If lightly used they make a very compelling case against some of the new stuff out there.
I would be more worried if I had to sell a 19 quickly.

Quite a few of us have gone with ali fronts. Slight weight and noise improvements. Haven’t seen anyone report rapid wear. I went with renthal.
hope this helps
I had a terrible tapping noise for a while that sounded like cables tapping. It was the headstock in the end. My dealer stripped, regressed and retorqued. No problems since, hope this helps.

I usually just let plug and socket dry naturally. Then brush away dry mud later. It may be possible to force moisture in somewhere with the dryer. Surprising how robust the connection is. All the water gushing round it while riding, hardly seems worth the forced air and humidity created. Just a...
Today I went to my lbs to collect a set of pads. The nice girl in the shop made me a brew and the mech fitted my pads on the spot without being asked. Indexed me gears whilst in stand. Thorough job I noticed, even the earbuds were out ha ha.
Me, I write emails to Specialized when I feel I’ve...
I would gratefully accept the £80. You need these people on your side when you may come to need a motor or battery on warranty. You’ll be off your bike weeks if they hate you and think your a whiney knobhead.
