Like you I installed tpu tubes and had a slow puncture. I could not find the hole despite immersing it in water. Not wanting to bin an expensive tube I tried again with a bit more air pressure and sure enough found a tiny bubble from the valve base which of course is impossible to patch so in...

I may be wrong (not unusual) but I don’t think the SL2 has a mounting hole on the fork crown. The carbon version certainly doesn’t but the Alloy version may well have.

If you have the equipped version with a front light already fitted to the handlebars unfortunately those solutions would bring a new problem! The only way to deal with that is to remove the front light altogether and use a battery light. Ortlieb sell an accessory strap that is very secure and...

I’ll second that! Chester staff really helpful.

…….after checking that the crank length is the same on all your bikes. The le length is marked on all cranks.

But surely the only sensible distance measurement is the nautical mile….1 nautical mile corresponds to one minute of latitude1…..but overall metric measurements are far easier for calculations than our outdated statute miles that are especially difficult for kids to learn.

If I compare my vo2 max reporting on my Garmin (calculated from power and Heart Rate) between my Creo and my Rubaix with a 4iiii power crank fitted they are always give an identical number so I would guess that the Creo power readings are reasonably accurate.

And now my app on iOS has suddenly lost the list of bikes on top left (yes I have more than one specialized eBike). Now I am stuck with connectivity to the last bike it was connected to. I’ve signed out/in, deleted the app and reinstalled but it’s made no difference. Anyone experiencing similar...

And check that there is no grease on the steerer tube! When you tighten the vertical bolt as Stefan says, the steering should run freely and when applying the front brake and rocking bike forward and backwards no play or clunking from the headset. Sometimes you have to make a few adjustments to...

Stefan you made me realise I should have drunk a lot more of that spa water in Karlovy Vary it might have helped my brain!! My visit there was on a tour to Prague then back along the Elbe River not to the Black Sea… that was a different trip.

Jeremy. Whenever I see you post I’m reminded of a great tour my wife and I did a few years ago from Uk to Constanta on the Black Sea. Came across a town called Carlsbad (Karlova Vary) in the Czech Republic. I’m not too fond of towns but we stayed few days as it was a very beautiful old spa town...

Come on guys. We can all have different views on things and stay polite! A friendly argument is healthy….anything more is not.

No Sorcery involved. It’s obviously the colour. Everyone knows red is the fastest and your experience proves that yellow must run a pretty close second!

Hi Allan. I see your point but perhaps the contentious issue is that this is offered as a six month service I.e. giving the impression to those not too savvy that it should be carried out 6 monthly, which of course is somewhat misleading as most riders/bikes would not need that level of work...
