    Some pictures from a first larger trip - around 50 km alongside the Øresund between Denmark and Sweden to the old royal hunting slot and back (you see it on picture. In the background there is the Baltic Sea and the Swedish coast is visible too). I pumped up the tires a bit more (60 PSI) , so...

    Now the first days with my new SL2 6.0 bike have passed. A few further observations: Good: - The motor is notably stronger and more silent than the old one (SL14.0) - The optimal cadence indicator on the TCU is useful - More gears on this one compared to the old model are a real plus - Battery...

    Brose sold to Yamaha

    Given the latest development on tariffs targetting car industry issued by the mad man in Washington, one may wonder if this was the right move by Brose to solemnly focus on their car business. But it seems existing Brose motors will continue to be served by Yamaha in case of a defect, so not...

    Yes, meant cadence . The measurements are the same old / new bike but the handlebar sits higher and thud the right is more upright . Guess that’s why I get this feeling. Anyway will get it adjusted some time soon. Could maybe do it myself but the local bike shop 1 km away is actually pretty...

    The real problem is though that I actually world have preferred to test ride and then buy it directly in the store . But this is close to impossible because these bikes don’t seem to be readily available in any shop. I.e. in the end you are forced to buy it online and even there availability is...

    Yes you are right , it is s bit more chunky and the wheels are wider . That was one reason for me thinking so long about doing the change or not . But I like the new model and finally went for it. The ride is smoother , quieter and the turbo mode more powerful . Your observation regarding...

    Today was the day! I finally got my new bike. I seemed to be a long wait since the bike already had arrived at the dealer a week ago (bought it online but chose it to be delivered to a dealer for asembly) . But they said they are too busy, some people ill, bike at their external warehouse...

    Wahoo ELEMNT (Roam and Bolt v2) on Specialized e-bikes (Garmin Edge compared)

    in any case more standardisation would benefit everybody, be it more length & speed measures or for charger cables. Just this morning, the charger cable of my Lumos cycle helmet (the one on my profile picture) did break and as it is not USB-C , I have to order a spare cable. Looking forward to...

    More sports and a good diet will do the trick :-) I also need to burn some 4-5 kg to get back into BMI green zone. Want to cycle more and am experimenting more and more with Mediterranean cuisine. Will take my 4.0 to a trip today in this lovely sunny spring weather here in Copenhagen. Btw an...

    Nice! I will get my SL2 6.0 EQ (same colour) on Monday. Can hardly await it. Took the local dealer a week to assemble it after it was delivered to their shop from the Specialized warehouse in Netherlands. Apparently all very busy. Can hardly wait... Meanwhile I bought MIK adapter plates to...
