Running eco like that will it feel like I lower powered version of the Bosch on EMTB mode?

Pretty much yes. If your fairly fit you shouldn’t need to pop into trail as much

Any Comp SL owners, or anyone who’s tested the alu Comp next to the Comp Carbon? Do they sound any different? I’m wondering if the different frame materials attenuate the sound differently.

Will tell you when mine arrives this week. I spent a day on the alloy last week.

Erm.., we don't have mountains in Austria?

mate that made me laugh too.

Grossglockner is the highest mountain in Austria and the highest mountain in the Alps east of the Brenner Pass.
Elevation‎: ‎3,798 m (12,461 ft)

So just under 3 times higher than anything in the UK.......

In the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland, a mountain is usually defined as any summit at least 2,000 feet (610 m) high,[3] which accords with the official UK government's definition that a mountain, for the purposes of access, is a summit of 2,000 feet (610 m) or higher.[4] In addition, some definitions also include a topographical prominence requirement, typically 100 or 500 feet (30 or 152 m).[5] At one time the U.S. Board on Geographic Names defined a mountain as being 1,000 feet (300 m) or taller,[6] but has abandoned the definition since the 1970s. Any similar landform lower than this height was considered a hill.

Any shops doing any amazing deals on the SL yet ?

I rode up there about 30 years ago on my Raleigh Equipe. I seem to recall it was quite difficult, certainly not a hill..... I remember riding back down again in torrential rain more though. Even with the rain, my brake blocks looked like some alien nasal slime dribbled down my forks when I got to the bottom.

I'd like to think I overtook more vehicles on the way down than overtook me on the way up ... but that probably falls under the "the older I am, the faster I was" theory.

I also recall that it convinced me that a GSXR750 was the future .. and not pedalling ... but I'm back to pedalling .. well, sort of ..

Define amazing deal?! I got 15% off today on an Expert.

 

[p3eps]

curious - can you confirm which fork the expert has? Does it have the GRIP damper and the EVOL airspring?

NVM -i see the post above confirming it's a Performance

Performance... with Fit Grip.

 

[p3eps]

It’s just been pointed out to me that the Expert seatpost is 34.9mm, but the S-Works is 30.9mm. I’ve checked them all, and only the S-Works and Founders are 30.9mm.

Would this indicate that they have slightly different frames?
Need to call the shop tomorrow and check which Reverb they ordered me! Based on the price match, I reckon they’ve gone with the 30.9mm... as the 34.9mm was £30 cheaper.

Doubtful. Most likely they are shimming the Reverb AXS because it only comes in 30.9mm.

All Levo and Levo SL frames seat post tubes are 34.9mm. Levo SL bike that come with AXS 30.9mm seat post have a shim to make up the difference in size.

AXS dropper comes in 30.9mm, 31.6mm and 34.9mm.

Reverb AXS™

 

[jemen]

Why to choose the AXS instead of the X-Fusion? Isn´t the AXS much heavier?

About 50g heavier... but it’s the best dropper out there.
Used it before, and wouldn’t go back to a wired one!

 

[TorAtle]

Any downside to buying the 30.9 AXS reverb + spacer? It's an expensive dropper so I would prefer it would fit other bikes should I want to change.

 

[R120]

No downside except to your bank balance

 

[TorAtle]

One has to wonder why Rockshox makes different versions if there are no downsides. Why not make one size per travel and bundle with the most common shims?

 

[p3eps]

These?
SPECIALIZED CARBON - Praxis Works

edit: my bad, noticed the note.

I contacted Praxis direct about these last week. Response yesterday...

“These cranks are not yet available for the aftermarket. We should have these cranks by late spring or sooner. I’ll add you to the newsletter, so you’ll be notified when they are available.”

My LBS is away to try and order direct from Specialized.

These are NOT for the SL.

I know - hence the question to Praxis and the response that they are not available to buy aftermarket yet.
I’m hoping my LBS can order a pair in for an S-Works direct from Specialized.

Isn’t the whole axs system heavier than normal?

No... the XX1 AXS is lighter than the XX1 manual version.
Mine is going to be a hybrid of XX1 mech, and GX cassette for now.
The AXS mech just arrived about 5 mins ago. I’ll weigh them and check the difference!
Batteries vs cables.

 

[miPbiP]

must be beneficial not having to faff about with the cable routing in an ebike frame.

I’m just going to be hauling one out!!

 

[Fivetones]

Will be interesting know the weight of shifter, cable and derailleur. Even if just for GX. I mean is the weight of a cable similar to battery?

Battery is only 25g.

Below shows you a table of the differences.
