Just out of interest, what was the procedure for shipping your bike to Pro's Closet? That seems to me to be a fairly complex thing to "box up" a bike and ship it. Did you have to partially disassemble it? Who was the freight carrier?

Yes, if you're riding the Tour de France! Ever read how many calories a day those guys take in? And still look anorexic? o_O

I'm with you: I always used a small top tube bag to keep my phone handy and will miss having it there. It made it easy to take out to snap a photo or return a call, etc. As far as the original subject, it seems like Smart Control is intended to give you the max boost possible without fully...

When I go to the Sensors screen in my Edge 1030+ settings, I see three different sensor entries with the same sensor ID. One is for the E-bike functions, one is for Power, and the other is for Cadence & Speed, and these show as expected on the screens where I use them. Previously, I also had the...

(It's starting to get exhausting keeping up with this thread. :)) A couple of minor points. BLEvo no longer works with the 2022 models due to Specialized encrypting the data (or something to that effect). And your interaction with Rider Care is pretty much par for the course when dealing with...

Totally a speculation, but there could be a "minimum" level of assistance that it can provide, so if you are using a low assist percentage and pedaling at low rider power, it just cuts out rather than trying to add just a few watts.

The 2022s do come with the Mastermind TCU, which can do much of what the old TCD did (although not as practical due to the location on the top tube); the TCU display is configurable using Mission Control and you can cycle the displays using the top (F1) button on the handlebar control. But I...

I have a Redshift on my SL 5.0 and I did have to remove the light. But, as mentioned above, the Redshift is probably not the best option given your weight. You might look into the Kinekt suspension posts that have a number of alternate spring weights available. In addition, I think that they can...

It's hard to simplify this without my over-simplifying it and getting jumped on by someone over a technicality, but (leaving the motor out of it) this is what's going on. Whether you shift to a lower gear or not, you will do the same amount of work (where "work" is defined in physics as moving a...

With that dinner-plate-size sprocket on the rear I doubt there's an Omaha hill you can't conquer on an SL. It might take a while at the speed you'll go in the lowest gear, but with the assist you should make it. Hint: even when the motor is doing max assist, remember to shift down like you would...

I've been to Omaha a number of times and know what you mean about hills. In fact, we just returned a few hours ago from our weekend in Omaha attending the Berkshire meeting! And my late sister-in-law lived there for many years in the 90th & Blondo area. We were staying at a hotel around 120th &...

I also didn't care for having the Mirrcycle in that position for various subjective reasons, such as having to look down more than I'd prefer. I haven't put one like it on my SL (yet) since I'm trying out a different one that I like so far.

We're the same weight. I can't recall which spring I'm using but will check when I get back from the trip I'm on at this time.

For riding on paved roads, the Redshift is the answer. It is much more "floaty" than the other popular posts. Mine smooths out pavement cracks, tar strips, and other roughness very well. They even market it as being more for road riding.

It's not actually "in series" -- take a look at the disassembly instructions. Definitely referred to as a "Booster" spring in the videos.

FWIW, I just did some comparative measurements on the bikes in question and have determined that I don't need to change the stem -- it's OK on height. That's good because with the light mount, etc., there was no clean solution. But I will need to get a different seat (which I was planning on...

Thank you, Dr. Mikes, for being able to diagnose me without ever having laid eyes on me. Perhaps you might write a book. :rolleyes:

@Stefan Mikes Thanks. I had found something similar by K-Edge, but a lot more expensive. There is a drawback I can see with this type of mount but it might be the best that's currently available. On the stem issue, bike fit is a very personal thing and the same setup will never work for all...

@Stefan Mikes I just did a bunch of searching of this thread regarding an alternative mount for the 5.0 Lezyne headlight if the stem is changed, and there were so many posts with back-and-forth etc that I was not sure if a final solution was reached. From what I gather, the solution is to use a...

Stefan, I will probably never ride as much in a week as you do in a day! And about the Futureshock, it's too early to tell and I also don't have anything to compare it with since I never rode with the the 4.0-style fork. It seemed to be a bit stiffer than I had envisioned, but I have the options...
