I have about 2000Km (1350 mi) on my KoolStop pads. I was going to replace but they still have significant pad left. Every once in a while I clean the rear disc and the organic pads with some solvent and it quiets down. The rear gets the most dirt and starts to squeak a bit after about 100 mi...

Matt, after wedging the pistons apart, did you" Loosen the mounting screws (the two that hold the caliper to the fork); Pump the brake to get the pistons both squeezing the same amount. Squeeze the lever brake tightly to hold the caliper in position Then tighten the two screws to fix the...

There is a special plastic tool that should have come with your Turbo. It is a Formula specific "wedge" which is inserted into the empty space between pads when the wheel is removed. This will force the pads far enough apart to allow space for the disc and keep the pads from squeezing back in...

I don't know anyone who has tried, though I do believe that the stem tube/top tube geometry of the Turbo X is different than the Turbo/Turbo S (which are the same).

With the stock 468 Wh battery range was min 25 mi/max 50 mi. With the 691 Wh battery it is min 40 mi/max 80 mi.

I ended up paying $200 over the price of the standard battery when my original battery had to be replaced under warranty. Otherwise the 691 Wh batter is $1000.

I absolutely love my base Turbo with the 691 Wh replacement battery. I can get incredible range (min 40 mi/max 80 mi) but I can give you some very good reasons why they are changing... 1. All of the "smarts" of the Turbo series are in the battery. Firmware updates are very tedious for the...

James, I forget, a 2015 or 2016 Turbo X?

All of the base Turbos for 2016 were actually leftover 2015 models, many of which (like mine) were built in late 2014. The 2015 Turbo X had identical brakes, gearing and derailleur as the base Turbo. Specialized switched from Formula to Shimano brakes and SRAM to Shimano mech for the all-new...

The primary issue is the condition of the battery and motor. The 2014 Turbo S has a 504 Wh (14 Ah) battery while the 2015/16 Turbo has a 468 Wh (13 Ah) battery. Neither has the the bluetooth connection. The Turbo S has a 250W motor (same as 2016 Turbo X). Either should be able to be upgraded...

Absolute power corrupts absolutely!....I am fine with my measly 200W. I value having moderate assist over a long range rather than a lot of speed. Being able to average 20+ mph on the flats in TURBO over nearly 40 miles and 15+ mph when in ECO50 over up to 90 miles is good enough.

The 691 Wh battery gives you more range. The power to the ground is controlled by the hub motor. In your case you have either a 200W (2015) or 250W (2016) motor. If you have a 2015 Turbo X, the new battery gives you real time bluetooth monitoring as well. If you have a 2016, you already have...

@buzzapage Nice! I know the SBC-M03 gives you plenty of go fast juice. I am happy with mine as it is. Just waiting for better weather. I am not nearly as adventurous as some.

Brose has an internal reduction belt drive system instead of reduction gears. This is why it is much more quiet than the typical gear driven mid-drive.

I think the "New One" may in fact not be for the Turbo X/S/base but for the new mid drive Vado road bikes. Have the dealer call the parts department and find out whether there are any PART NO: 989E-5600 in stock. Be insistent

Charlie, I am glad you like the new gearing. The nice thing is that you now have a 20% lower 1st gear and an adequate top gear. The ONLY problem for me was that I didn't have the ideal gear for my best cadence at the 26.2 mph limit of my base Turbo; 9th was too low and 10th was too high. That...

Uniball, the symptoms you describe are not the ones most of us have experienced. Also, while it initially came up in Metric, once I set it to Imperial, the Mission Control App ran in Miles, etc. I may have had to reboot though. Doug

No. I mean powering the bike off and removing the battery from the bike. This causes a hard reset of all of the firmware on the bike and battery.

Well, this was a long story, not short. When the server came back up, the LBS tried to update to 5.12 but it failed and bricked the battery. They had to get a replacement from Specialized which came in with firmware 5.10. He was finally able to update the firmware to 5.12, set the proper...

You do need to power down the bike in order for the Acceleration to take effect. On my Turbo S battery, (in a base Turbo), this also means taking the battery out of its cradle and reinserting it in the bike. This is documented in the manual which is here...
