I am using an 11-speed cassette on my Specialized Turbo. It came with a 10 speed. Any hub motor that claims to support 10-speed (Shimano or SRAM) "should" also work with Shimano XT or Ultegra/11-speed cassette in mountain bike or roadbike ratios. These cassettes fit in the same width as a 10...

And the Energizer Plus are nearly $20/tire cheaper! The OEM on my Turbo were 622-45 and I will be going 622-40 (my current tires are 622-37) so fender clearance should not be an issue.

Using the bluetooth app (Mission Control), you cam set the wheel diameter to a smaller setting (2000 instead of the actual of 2250), thus trying to fake the bike into thinking you are going slower than you really are. However. I think that the actual cutoff may be implemented in the wheel...

Toynut, Great suggestions. Actually, since the brakes are hydraulic, don't need to deal with those cables. The rear derailleur cable was new, clean, and lubed when installed with the switchover from SRAM to Shimano, 200 miles ago. I will check out stem bearings and headset adjustment, good...

I have been thinking through what I need to do to prepare my bike for a new riding season. It is cold here in New England and a bit snowy right now so I have plenty of time to service my 2015/16 base Turbo. I am not nearly hardy enough for serious winter riding. Please note that my bike has...

I just had my bike in to get a replacement battery (the original 691Wh SBC-B05 got bricked when the upgrade yo current 5.12 firmware failed). While in, I asked them to check spoke tension on the rear wheel due to known issues with broken spokes. I had one break on me at around 900 mi. The...

Couple of issues... Direct drive require very large armatures with heavy magnets and windings to get good torque at very low RPM. Geared drive (whether hub or mid-drive) can have smaller, higher RPM motors that are lighter in weight. Further, they can have free wheeling connecting the motor to...

Are you trying to use the Mission Control App on an iPhone 7? There are known reported problems with bluetooth connectivity between iPhone 7 and Mission Control. There is a separate tech support just for Mission Control. Try sending email to: [email protected] describing you...

I will "+1" this!

I am at 1303 miles. I took my SBC-B05 (691 Wh) battery in for the 5.12 firmware upgrade. Initially the Specialized server was down. Unfortunately, once it came back up and the dealer tried to update, the updates failed and the battery was bricked. I am getting a new SBC-B05 (#2) from Specialized...

The issue is not battery voltage or the 691 Wh vs. 468 Wh. Here is what I believe is happening. With both the 468 Wh and 691 Wh batteries, the speed cutoff is either 25 Km/h or 45 Km/h as set in the battery configuration. If set to 45 Km/h, the bikes with the 200/250W GoSwissDrive motors...

Charlie, I have some experience with fairly long (1+ mile) climbs, though probably in the 6-8% range. This where I use the "TURBO" button! Certainly with the lower (44x36) gearing, your legs can do more of the work than with the stock 48x32. I am now riding with a 48x40 low gear and have found...

I am not enough of an expert in Li-Ion chemistry to give you an answer. Keep in mind it would be a battery that left the factory at around 80% charge and has been unused since manufacture. I do know that the 468 Wh Turbo (2015/16) and Turbo X (2015) may have been manufactured as early as August...

James, great feedback. You are my hero for driving your Turbo in winter weather. Bravo!

My battery (691 Wh) is at the dealer. He tried to download the firmware, but Specialized's server was down. Hope it comes back today, but if not, my battery will be updated to 5.12 soon.

Here is a pic!

My kit included all of the screws and mounting hardware required. You dealer should be able to get these parts for you.

Bud, Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner, but I have been flat out with Holiday concerts. But to answer some question and provide feedback: a) The "toggle switch" failures (the handlebar controller) are pretty common. Don't have any good suggestions other than that Specialized seems to be...

The controller is in the battery. The limit is set there.

I think you are mostly right. One can get more than 200 watts at full Turbo for short periods of time. I was thinking more in terms of average motor output rather than peak in my earlier post. I have found that battery life doubles at ECO40-50 compared with TURBO and Strava power estimates scale...
