Just finished "tightening" the battery position adjuster. I paid close attention to the plastic platform surrounding the battery latch, and up/down position of the battery. Tightening the adjuster actually compresses a spring that presses the plastic platform upward. Doing so lowers the...

Kermit - Thanks...Didn't expect to find service specs in the thin owners manual (rather in a service manual). I've glossed right over them several times. I may be taking this on Sunday.

I have the same Park BB tool you linked to. There's no way to know the torque using it. I assume your list included torque wrench for the hex bolts on the crank arms. Do you know the torque specs? I've got a few different torque wrenches, one specifically for lower torque values on small bolts...

I'd love to be able to stay in Turbo mode. How long did your trip home take?

Kermit...has a bit more tightening solved your battery rattle? Tightening incrementally is the way to proceed as there needs to be some play up near the internal female electrical connector so it can "find" its way to mate with the male connector on the top of the battery. I am going to tighten...

I, too, find the stock saddle pretty good for my 56-mile round-trip commute. No complaints.

Stopped for a snack on the way home today. I've been curious about this pair of stone bridge piers. Not much is visible in Google Earth to provide a hint of their past lives.

Marko - Did you have to take your bike to the dealer for the firmware update?

That was me....using 30% assist to get a workout on the way home. Bumped it into turbo a few times to give my legs a break when they started to burn on the long hill west of Leesburg. At Catoctin crossing, did you see that cool Ti bike with belt drive and internally geared rear hub? Pretty...

Back on the Turbo X since Monday. I stopped riding it when the snow (and salt) starting flying. We got 36 inches of snow during the Blizzard and I decided to wait until the snow and salt were gone. I rode my old Bianchi Veloce on the trainer a few times a week while watching TV to keep my legs...

I use the Shimano combo pedals. I always ride with my MTB SPD cleated shoes.

I have a bit of a rattle on big bumps. I found the same DIY guide you posted. I plan to tighten mine. I also have creaking from the bottom bracket. However, bouncing on my Post Moderne suspension seat post will make the creaking stop...but this could be due to pushing off the cranks to...

My 2016 Turbo X came with a Post Moderne parallelogram spring damped seat post. I have used a Thud Buster on a previous e-bike I returned. They do behave and feel a bit different, but I can say one is better than the other. My butt likes both....but no provision for lights. I don't mind, because...

I anticipated this problem with a very stiff frame and fork....so opted for the Turbo X with Rock Shox air-adjustable fork. Very nice fork. I haven't experienced much numbness. Once or twice I re-positioned my hands and all was good. I should add that my commute is 28.6 miles one-way. I carry...

I think mine has reset a few times. Just haven't gotten around to looking into it, and have assumed I'm doing something wrong that's causing it to reset. Hope it's not a software bug. I have an early 2016 X.

It is a long haul, but I don't really mind it (I bought the X because I really wanted suspension for this distance). Before I got the Turbo I would get home from work around 4:30 to 5:00 pm, then go for an hour-long ride on my Domane, getting back to the house around 6:00-6:30. Riding the Turbo...

Great photos! I've been searching for fender alternatives to the expensive Specialized kit. What brand and model are you using? Thanks.

Although my 2016 Turbo X is limited at 28 mph, and the motor is nominally rated at 250 watts (who really knows?), neither of these specs really matter. What mattered to me was the higher capacity battery and the suspension fork and seat post - my commute is 60 miles round trip and the X makes it...

Look on the "bright" side....you won't have to tolerate the headlight and tail light being on while charging (that would be a problem where I keep my bike at work) and all your battery charge goes toward increased range. There are great rechargeable USB headlights and tail lights. I like a...

Corey - I wanted to like the mid-drives. I rode the Trek with the Shimano mid-drive. It was under powered and way too noisy (think of a mechanical gear sound much like a child's wind-up toy robot would make...a disappointing effort by Shimano). I rode the new I-Zip E3 dash mid-drive and thought...
