    Shimano Battery Issue (refused warranty claim) where do i stand?

    My Specialized is similar to this and has been since new. When it gets to 13% it is essentially empty, won't do anything over Eco and when I have had to carry on it cuts out entirely soon after. This is inherent to all L-ion batteries to a certain extent. The voltage drops quickly at the start...

    EMTB manufacturers are price gouging.

    All consumer items have profit margins on them. Margins on ebikes aren't very different from other high end bikes. If the margins were truely outrageous there would be rival brands coming in much cheaper, which you do see, but you can also see where they saved the money for the most part. In the...

    Even shorter cranks?

    Couldn't buy them unfortunately, had to make them from 175mm Creo ones 150mm crank making 160mm is the shortest you can buy off the shelf. There are quite a few frame builders etc who will shorten cranks for you, or you can buy the taps and do it yourself if you have a drill-press or a mill.

    Mahle SL 1.1 to SL 1.2 - What's Possible and What's Different ?

    It's not just them to be fair. Fazua use the Etor interface and Shimano use theirs. ISIS is a pretty crap outdated standard at this point so I can see why they wouldn't want to use that. Mahle have actually signed up to the Etor standard so the next Mahle motor might use that.. The Shimano...

    Waterproof jacket

    Thanks, that's a bit big/heavy for what I have in mind. The other Endura one gets pretty bad reviews for waterproofness (like it's not even slightly). Anyone tried this one:- Altura Icon Rocket On sale for £30 in a few places

    Waterproof jacket

    Thanks, that's an option. Any idea how small it goes or the weight? I need it to stuff into the side pocket of my bum-bag.

    Waterproof jacket

    Can anyone recommend a VERY packable "emergency" layer type jacket? I have a proper ShowersPass I've had for years that I use if it's already rubbish and cold when I head out, and a Madison Flux1 that I can stick in my bum-bag side pocket if it might be needed. The Flux has been great, less...

    Chainsaw and bag for clearing trails?

    Do you have a link to where you bought it? I've fancied one of these for a while but too cheap to pay UK prices.

    Levo SL Gen 1 Levo SL 1.1 Cranks vs Vado/Creo SL cranks

    This is what I bought. S191600012 Specialized CRK Turbo SL 1.1 Road/Active 175mm L/R Arms Alloy Praxis They are still going strong and I am still very pleased with them. If you look at the photos above you can see that the original 165mm arms have an oval marking and the end of the crank arm...

    The King has no clothes - SL 1.2 Power

    Since the "consolidated reply" has not materialised can we safely assume that the 1.2 motor is about what was claimed?

    Levo SL Gen 1 Replacement Rock/Bash Guard

    Just noticed I've put some big cracks in my new one now so thought I would get another one. Previously £19-50 now £39-90 !!!! WTF £40 for a weak "guard" that lasts less than a year? Can I warranty these?

    Conversion - Installing M500/M600 Motors in Bosch Gen 2/3 Frame

    This is super interesting, thanks for sharing. So the BB gets a little higher and the chainstay gets a bit shorter and seat-tube steeper? win win win! 3D print services for aluminium are pretty cheap now if you want to look at doing the adaptor that way.

    Levo SL Gen 1 Levo SL (gen1) Dead/Unresponsive Solution Warning Tip

    8 months later, same issue reoccurred. Went down to James's again and they had another TCU to switch in. Can't get this one to appear on the app so can't pair and adjust anything. Anyone come across this before?

    Kenevo SL Kenevo SL crank issue

    Have you read my previous post (above) about how the splines on these cranks work? What did you find when you inspected the arms? My guess is that your weight/riding style puts loads through the deformed crank splines that are greater than the installation pre-load and so they are further...

    Levo SL Gen 1 Parts schematic for Levo SL

    Is there an updated version of these files for the 2022 and later bikes? I found a listing for the pivot bearings that suggests there are 14 bearings in later bikes and only 12 in earlier ones. Not sure where/what the extra ones are?

    When they arrive and don't fit just casually suggest you would be OK with them switching the motor and display to the 1.2... ;)

    We have a huge problem with ebikes

    How is it "moot"? This thread is about ebike standards. Rob raised the comparison of the NACS connector. Yes this "only" applies to the hundreds of millions of people in North America (at present) but it IS a standard that does promise to make North Americans' charging experience easier/better...

    Kenevo SL Kenevo SL crank issue

    What?!? As far as I am aware, the Praxis and Sram cranks use very different interfaces. Just wont fit. The Praxis are for the SL1 motors and the SRAM are for the new 1.2.

    We have a huge problem with ebikes

    Yes it is. The NACS system uses a cooled cable, this is why the Superchargers have a cable that is half the weight and twice as easy to lift and fit as most CCS connectors. The weight and stiffness of the cable may not be important to most able bodied people but for anyone with limited strength...
