The cable picture you just posted looks like it might be a smart system headlight cable. I can't tell just from the picture. @AvalancheRun might be able to confirm. Yes, this will plug into the headlight port on your drive unit. So you would need to unplug either your front or rear light...

Yes, that video shows a smart system gen4 PL CX drive unit. Your bike has a system 2 gen 4 PL CX drive unit. Mechanically they are the same, but the smart system version has a different board(s?) and ports. Most of the current gen Bosch drive units (gen 3 and gen4 are both current) come in...

Those are both Smart System parts, not system 2 parts. I believe they changed all the ports with the smart system.

You missed the part where it also applies to any product or service you purchase from Specialized. And the part where Spec absolves itself of responsibility for any loss or damage as soon as product leaves their warehouse. Unless otherwise required by local law, title and all risk of loss or...

Yeah, it's 100% sw stabilization. The mount that they are hoping you'll buy so they get a commission does have silicon/rubber contacts which would make it a bit better than a completely rigid mount. It's unclear to me if their stabilization is any better/different than what I can already get...

Regarding reach, the drop bar Skitch comes with a 70mm stem. I'm pretty sure the stock stems on your Creo and Aethos would have been 110's. Hard to tell with the integrated cockpit on the Scott but it looks pretty long too. Accounting for the 40mm difference puts them all in the same...

From the pictures on Tern's website, looks like this has the Intuvia display, which means it is on the last gen System 2 and not the newer Smart System HW. Bosch Connect Module is only for Smart System bikes. FYI - the Intuvia can be removed from the bike when you park, rendering the bike...

No sir, I don't like it!

I'm afraid to ask what that cord running up to the saddle area plugs into. . .

Glad you're feeling better, Taylor. Crazy that someone would have that much road rage.

Appreciate the update. I've been eyeing the Grizl:ON as well. Doesn't surprise me too much that you can hear it. Supposedly it is basically a CX with 1 of the internal gears removed (that's why the support range is in a tighter cadence range). Do you find the Flow app useful? I think it...

Thanks Cuz, looking forward to updates once you have a better feel for range and fit. Your seatpost height gives me some pause. I'm about 31.5+" inseam which looks awfully close to the min saddle height based on your 34" inseam.

Probably built in the same factory that has been making Surly ebikes for ~5 years. The Salsa brand is new to ebikes but QBP has been doing them for a while and is also the distributor for both Mahle and Bosch in the US, so it's not like Salsa is flying blind here. Also it seems to me that...

Mostly just the random 'nice bike' comment. Though it takes on a different connotation when the dude running an open-air bike chop shop out of his beat up RV calls that out to you on your way into work :)

Who in their right mind would take a $13000 Pinarello bikepacking? No one in the US or UK since Pinarello doesn't sell that model here 🤣 But kudo's to the Italians for putting fender and rack mounts on their aero gravel racing bike. And I know if I were coming down a mtn road I would sure...

I am not an expert at all, but you know the Surly has much better bones than the Walmart special. And I expect would be far easier to add fenders and rack to use as a commuter.

Bosch bikes are factory locked and are not able to have the region changed after leaving the factory. Your option would be to use one of the various aftermarket chips to unlock it with the associated risk of error codes/warranty repercussions. You would also want to research how to get a bike...

I've been happy with my SKS oem fenders. They do become more brittle in sub-freezing temperatures. This happened 2 winters ago on the first week of cold morning commutes. Held it together with gaffer's tape last winter. This year when the tape failed on the first cold day, I just finished...

Yes, they are not listed as endangered and are classified as big game.

Agreed, but the odds of getting hit by a car, attacked by another human, or struck by lightning are all astronomically higher than a cougar attack. Human-cat interactions are definitely increasing though as both populations have grown here in WA in the last couple decades. A cyclist was...
