It's actually a Judy.

So potentially making it more unsafe by not paying full attention to what's going on around us, is good? You'd be amazed just how much of the world doesn't have to worry about stuff like that. We don't have much in the way of shotgun-carrying hillbillies telling us that we've sure got a purdy...

One-size-fits-all, are they? :cool:

IIRC, that was only to address a specific problem where - after a firmware update - the motor's speed/power calibration had slipped: some people reported less power after an update, and this pedalling procedure was part of the calibration fix. I assume it won't be an issue unless a firmware...

I'll generally pack one or two non sports-specific cereal bars or Go-Ahead Bake bars; or a small flapjack bar. I probably won't get into them, but - from back in the day when I used to put in big days (Polaris Challenges, Trailquests etc.) on acoustic bikes - I've bonked enough times (just...

I'm generally in favour of keeping on top of firmware (I'm a photographer too, and I'm diligent about checking for updates for my cameras - not least because camera firmware updates occasionally deliver functionality improvements that I would welcome, and the manufacturer always tells us what...

Not for me - I find music distracting at a time when I want to have my wits about me.

Lots of posts on here about waterproofing the TCU...

Hopefully Specialized will be getting closer to OTA updates for the SL too - I'm hanging back on updating my firmware for a while (if it ain't broke...) to see if anything develops on that score.

True, but I will just mention that the Charge Spoon - which I for one use exclusively on all of my bikes (electric and acoustic) - reviews very well, and it seems to suit a great many backsides...

My house - I'm still in it, and it's a very nice house, ta - cost less than the price of those two bikes, 22 years ago!

Ewwww... We're in "they'd have to pay me" territory with that monstrosity.

Ooh - I'd like to be in the courtroom for that case...

Probably - it's not like we're reading about this happening, day after day.

It's the TCU, not the motor, which generally causes problems. They use the same TCU

So maybe not lead with "he's a bike thief"?

He's owned - and has been posting about - his SL since last March!

A possibility, for sure. But given that he's had the bike for approaching a year now, I'm thinking there's probably another explanation. It strikes me that someone who hides behind a made-up user name, and is so wilfully vague about his location (big place, "UK") probably has more to hide than...

Someone who hasn't got easy access to a Specialized dealer? Someone whose shop has a weeks-long backlog because of Covid? Someone who has only now gone from the problem being an inconvenience, to being a showstopper? Hmmm...
