Specialized has a factory store in town, it's next to the Patagonia Outlet and it's close to good riding (UCSC). If you want to demo a Specialized ebike. If not, most of the shops in town have online reservations for bike rentals.
That's part of the reason I am on the fence, would the cascade link be good enough or do I need the the long travel kit? Then I would bump the front up to 170mm hoping to keep a balance feel of the bike.
I live in the Bay Area, I am in Santa Cruz and Marin County. I was ridding a Kenevo SL and I just purchased a 2022 Levo Pro S3 because I wanted a full power bike. I am really enjoying the power and range of the Levo Turbo. Coming from the Kenevo SL I was missing the plushiness of the longer...
I purchased my bike new on 09/05/21. It's always been stored inside an insulated garage in Santa Cruz, Ca where we have moderate weather. My battery now reads 90% health with 2900 miles and 109 charges. I am bummed that the battery is already degrading in such a short time period and low miles.
My local bike shop replaced the TCU for $150 USD and it fixed the auto shut off problem. I did have to pay for the TCU since the bike is out of warranty, it was submitted for a warranty claim and since it was only two months out. I will respond to let everyone know if it was covered or not. I...
My Kenevo SL will not auto shut off. When I turn my bike on and leave it for several hours, it will still be on when I come back. Also when I charge the bike and it reaches 100%, the charger does not turn green and the bike does not shut off. The auto shut off function does not work and I have...
I would not call this a failure, it looks like damage from smashing the rim into a rock, aluminum rims would not fair any better from this type of abuse.
Any issues with your brake pads rubbing? I will adjust the calipers before a ride, no rub, but during the ride, the pads will be rubbing to the point were I feel resistance while pedaling. Initially I thought maybe I had to much brake fluid in the system but bleed the brakes again with the bleed...
A Couple shops in Santa Cruz had them in stock. It seem like when they initially came out, only shop owners and high end clients got them on the first round. I was able to walk into my LBS and buy it in October. They had a few KSLs in stock a couple weeks ago.
Nice bike! I have a Kenevo SL, came with the Sram code brakes, did not like them, replaced them with the TRP Evo-DH but do not love them either. I have had the shimano XTR 4 piston brakes on my previous bike and I was thinking I would go back to them. I really like the power and adjustability of...
"Attention: check your crank torque. My cranks almost fell off on today’s ride!!!" My cranks were creaky and I decided to check. Both cranks were loose and needed to be torqued as well.
