    SLX shift indicator

    this is what came with my SLX shifter on my felt Sport 85. Doesn't have actual number but just an arc with a red indicator that moves along the path. The one in the picture is pointing to the highest gear all the way on the left. At the lowest gear it would be all the way to the right, with...

    Bosch Speed Performance system shuts down mid ride.

    Hurricane, a technician at Bosch suggested that, I too, should replace the power harness between the battery and the motor. Still under warranty so trying that is a no-brainer. Extremely helpful and accommodating. I'll keep you informed.

    Bosch Speed Performance system shuts down mid ride.

    Afternoon people, I’m in a bit of a dilemma these days with my Bosch Speed Performance powered Felt 85 Sport E.

    A cooler (less warm) helmet?

    A cooler (less warm) helmet?

    General consensus is a bike helmet's life, barring any accident, is only three years afterwhich the foam core begins to deteriorate. There should be a manufacture date in each of them as to when the helmet is made. Seems short but it may make a difference if involved in an accident.
