Polini EP3+ is probably the most serviceable.
Giant are absolutely appalling. Their motors are physically identical to Yamaha yet cost £1000 more and are near impossible to buy. You can't buy ANY parts for them either, apart from bearings from regular bearing places.
In my experience Giant are...
I've recently bought a discounted KSL and the guy there said that they were expecting the bikes with the new motor to be announced around September.
Mine is an Expert S3 in brassy yellow, and was £5700.
Doesn't the Ohlins have an internal hydraulic bump stop? I assumed that they did, my quad had Ohlins and that had a HBS, though it wasn't adjustable like the EXT one is.
I was having a good look at my bike and I think part of the problem with the Aria is that both valves are together, making that area more bulky. If they redesigned it so that the valves are on either side of the air can then it would fit more bikes because it wouldn't be any wider than the air...
Sometimes.
Had a broken crankshaft in an EP8 and Shimano flat refused to honour the warranty because the bike had E13 cranks fitted, not Shimano cranks. However, because they were the cranks originally supplied on the bike, the bike manufacturer (Thok) stood on and supplied a new motor, which...
Tru dat.
Absolutely love it apart from one small thing, the lower motor cover is just a shitty plastic thing that just breaks. They're cheap as chips but I'd rather not have to keep replacing it and, because of that, I'm actually getting a proper mould made to have some composite ones done. I'm...
Mine's currently back in the shop for a leaking fork rebound adjuster as it happens.
Fox quality seems to have dropped off a cliff lately. I'm on my 4th transfer dropper post on one of my other bikes, X2 shocks are known for spewing their guts out and my new forks leak. I also burst a DPS shock...
Adjusting the rebound would be a bit of a faff too I bet.
I've got an ext coil shock and Era V2 forks on another bike (Fulgur Mula) and I really like them, but I'm keen to keep the SL as SL as I can. If the X2 shock bursts, which it seems is quite common, I'll look at fitting something else I...
At a cadence of 60rpm with a 34 tooth front ring your chain does a revolution in just over three seconds.
I think that's your answer.
Maybe get someone to watch the derailleur cage to see if it 'kicks' when you get the skip.
That sounds to me like a combination of a stiff chain link and maybe a damaged sprocket, that causes it to skip when the two come into the same phase.
If it was the motor it would do it in any gear, and the gears inside the motor turn much, much faster than the frequency of your skip.
It's...
That's very much what I'm thinking.
I've bought the current KSL with basically a £4000 discount, and to be honest I'll be perfectly happy using it as it is, but if it can have the extra power when the 1.2 motors become available I'll probably do that and have the 1.1 as a spare.
Still a big...
Some places have a 'reset' on warranties so that when a part is replaced it starts with a fresh warranty. It stops manufacturers from fobbing you off with a straight replacement of an inadequate product that should really have been recalled in the first place.
America has the 'lemon law', which...

I don't suppose you have a way to either read the micro (Toshiba TMPM475FYFG) or a way to write the Giant firmware into a Yamaha board do you?
I have a mate's bike here (with only 150 miles on it but out of warranty) and the main board is dead. There's no parts available...
You're talking about a different variable.
Production variable vs user variable.
There's a limit to the degree of adjustment that the user can make, which is intended for different tyre options that the user might fit.
The production variable is for the fitted wheel size and that isn't user...
FYI, if you adjust the wheel size in the app it affects the speed that the bike thinks it's doing, so the speed when at the limiter on the Bosch display won't change. To see Actual speed you need an external device such as a GPS.
Agreed, but a faulty laptop is much easier for the retailer to replace.
I'm friends with my LBS, and see the hassle and stress they have to deal with on a regular basis and, frankly, it stinks because of a severe lack of support from the manufacturers.
As already stated, Specialized are the...
