Sorry to hear! Best of luck in your recovery and in finding repair/replacement parts. I’d contact Specialized directly. It can’t hurt! PS, with that much damage to you and the bike, I’d be very concerned about the frame.

Gotta admit, I read your posts and really wonder why you don’t just buy a reliable and well-supported brand who is reasonably local to you and be done with it. The idea that you distrust hydraulic brakes just because you don’t know how to service them tells me everything. Best of luck!

I think pretty warm to the touch is normal. My Bosch 4 amp charger does get fairly warm when charging our two batteries after a ride, tho I don’t have a digital meat thermometer!🤓

I’ve certainly heard of others smacking their batteries to get them to seat properly. Now that I’ve got 4 batts, I grab whatever’s available and give them a slight pop with the palm of my hand just to be sure. No problems whatsoever!

I use a top tube adapter all the time (when using my Hollywood hitch rack) but certainly NOT to hang them from. My suggestion would be a different style rack that pulled down on the tube adapter. Honestly, ropes and carabiners sounds like a real PITA every time you load up and, generally, top...

Must admit I’m a bit shocked theres been no interest in this Domane+LT.

Pictures would help.

Wish I’d have asked to watch my Trek guy do it but I didn’t. He has since adjusted my Allant+7 and my Rail 5 so that all three of our Trek ebikes can use any of our four Bosch 500/625 batts. My wife’s Allant+7 Lowstep accepted her batt and my Rail 5 batt right out of the box. Best of luck!

I enjoy seeing a video of it but have no desire to do it myself.

You mean it doesn’t seat all the way in? It’s locked in and yet it’s not working? Are you getting any indication of power at all on the display? I assume it’s charging correctly? I don’t know how to adjust it but my Trek guy got the battery out and adjusted the latch in less than an hour and...

FIXING? Ehhh. Maintaining? Sure. Way back in the day I used to loosen/tighten my spokes to try to ”true” my rims. I wouldn’t touch my ebike rims today. Frankly, I don’t have any idea how to correctly do much beyond cleaning & lubing my drive train, patching & replacing tires & tubes. Thank...

And beer!

That’s the turn around point in my world.

Diagnostics alone are a $112 charge at my Chevy dealer service center.

Frankly, not a serious offer. Just seeing what they’d say. I’d like to explore more road biking again but I’ve overspent this year. If it was the Bosch system, I might consider it more seriously since it was my size!😉

Remember, the “cheap Chinese junk” often ends up in your ebike! Most of the little that I’ve bought at HF or Northern Tool are good if used for light to medium duty now and then. That’s all I need it for. Got a great electric angle grinder and impact wrench at HF that I’ve had and used for years...

Saw a 2021 Domane+LT 54cm (a few scratches but brand new) sitting on the floor for sale for $3999.99. Offered them $3500 but said they’d meet that half way at $3750.00. Send me a pm if you want to know where in the Midwest you can see it.

To further expand on some of the other trails out west we explored, I submit the Missouri Headwaters State Park just outside 3 Forks, MT., where three rivers join to form the headwaters of the great Missouri River. The trail is part of the Great Rail Trail system and has a variety of surfaces it...

Bummer to hear. How about a train?

I didn’t have my Rail 5 and wouldn’t have done it even if I did! I’m sure there are some novice trails in that general area but we didn’t look.
