stick to 210x52.5 or 210 x55

Ordered a Rockshox Super Deluxe Ultimate (air) 2021 today in 210 x 55.
It’s not due until the beginning of September though!

Picked up my SL Comp today. As I mentioned earlier, the tag on the bike said it was a MY 2021. It had Guide RE levers and calipers. Everything else seemed identical to the 2020 spec. I compared it to a bike on the showroom and that Comp had Guide R brakes.

BTW, I thought I read people saying that with the SRAM shifters you can't change multiple gears and only Shimano could? With the big gear lever, I was able to sweep through 2-3 gears in 1 press.

There are 2 versions. The SL came with the multiple gear change versions. the full fat one came with single gear shift.

Have been riding at Ylläs in Finish lapland for few days now.
Did leave the ebike home and been testing the enduro.
Today we rode 48km and get 1247m elevation.

J Tech! They had to put it ‘in stock’ so that I could order one.

That’s a solid ride in the Enduro! Must have been a bit buggered after. I’ve been thinking about selling mine, as I seem to be just riding the SL.

SL keeps amazing me. Smashing PRs at a big mountain location that has previously been set either on my Kenevo or my old enduro bike (during a race nonetheless)

This is just a sample. Lots of steps, loose, rocks, etc. some interesting flow trails as well!

Sorry for the noob question, but is there a way for the Mission Control app to have updated charge progress listed? I was charging my SL today and I could see bars being added on the TCU, but Mission Control's battery % doesn't update dynamically. Also, I'm guessing there's no way to get a notification to the phone (if it's in range) and the battery is full?

Sell it.
Enduro is the way to go

on my bike if the smart phone is within range mission control will show current charge while it is still on the charger

So I took a brief look at a newly-arrived 2021 SL Carbon Comp at my LBS today. (Mine is scheduled to arrive in a few days.) I noticed it had a 10-52t cassette as opposed to the 10-50t on the 2020 model. Anyone here wish they had a 52 bail-out gear? Seems like overkill on an e-bike. I will go back tomorrow to see what else is different.

10-52?????

I’d have to take off my shoes to count that high.

Who makes it? ?

Love that Kitty Litter

Upon further inspection the cassette is the same - NX 10-50t.

 

[jcmonty]

WOW that looks like an amazing place, where is this park?

Mammoth Bike Park in California. It’s a pretty unique place. I will post up more footage later, as I have a lot. That run is technically a double black, but I think it’s more black. There is some gnarly stuff on the hill, and a lot of “surfing” rim deep kitty litter (pumice rock). Smashing PRs every day out here.

Do you have a recent versions of Mission Control and Battery firmware ? The versions I have show the bike's charge status under the Diagnose submenu while charging (latest MC; Battery v.2.4.11).

I see j Tec have them in stock, where u ordered from mate?

Also having it fitted / tuned with the MegNeg prior to shipping.
I asked about it, and their tuner has advised it would be advantageous for my riding style / weight.

I ride a large in both. View attachment 37149

Out of interest, how tall are you? Do you think @6foot the large will be OK. The sizing configurator on Spesh site tells me that a large is the right size although I always felt a little on top of my Levo 2020.

I’m 6’ and the large fits me fine

Used to be 6’, now 5’10” 35 inseam. Large feels equal on both.

Funny I used to be 6'2 now 6'. Well not so funny.

Thanks for the reply

Can you spot the reindeer? ??

 

[Tobers]

Time for blingy wheels. King hubs, Zipp 3zero rims, X01 block. Michelin Wild AM tyres at 2.35”. Getting out and about tomorrow morning - will report back.

Excellent work by these guys at Ace Bicycles near Guildford who are a really impressive, knowledgeable and helpful bunch. Take my money (again) dammit.

 

[Tobers]

Wow what a stunning trail. Where is it?

And yes, spotted the white reindeer.

I did some testing today when I was charging it again and maybe it's an Android issue. I can see the battery % moving the first time I have the app open. If my phone goes to sleep or the app goes to the background and I come back, the battery % stays stuck on the same %. However, if I manually close the app and reconnect the bike, it's up to date.

At ylläs ski resort, Finland.

BamBam - you need a Range Extender to ride 700 meters?
