I dont plan on using the visor. I wear a thin cap under the helmet: https://www.amazon.com/GADIEMKENSD-Adjustable-Reflective-Performance-Repellency/dp/B071XVHB3V/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=running%2Bcap&qid=1620781515&s=outdoor-recreation&sr=1-2&th=1

I have other XL helmets that are snug front to back The Stomp ski helmet is uncomfortably tight, the worst. I have a Smith Maze XL snow helmet that is snug, I cant fit the thinnest of balaclavas under it. The Specialized Tactic L is snug. I have a Specialized Align 2 XL that has plenty of room...

I ordered the classic fit. The part numbers on the box indicate it is classic fit. I dont see any labels on the helmet itself to confirm that. The manufacture date is Jul 2022

I got the Tactic helmet. It is a large, Classic fit, but kind of snug on me. They say it goes to 24.5", I say no one above 23.5" should buy it without trying it on first. The fore/aft direction is where it is snug. There is plenty of room on the sides. The visor comes off easily.

The Mode is too round, it needs to be pointy.

I'm pretty sure the visor is removeable. They sell replacement visors https://www.specialized.com/us/en/tactic-visor/p/117099?color=214674-117099 Yes it looks dumb and I will remove it. There are several other helmets half-priced. I have the align 2, it is highly rated, inexpensive, all good.

The fourth best helmet according to Virginia Tech: https://www.helmet.beam.vt.edu/bicycle-helmet-ratings.html#3 https://www.helmet.beam.vt.edu/bicycle-helmet-ratings.html#! Is on sale half price, $60: https://www.specialized.com/us/en/tactic/p/1000208435?color=1000208437-1000208435 I...

Any details on this statement from this article? "Finally, while it will not be available at launch, a third “Max Pack” option will be offered for a price of $2,399. This massive battery (perhaps a dual-battery option?) will have a capacity of 912 Wh – and if the math checks out, a maximum...

The sprockets are CDX, about $100. The belt is CDC, around $65

Thanks for the gear calculator, Ortek. I didnt find any pinion front sprockets larger than 39, but did see some 19 and 20 cog rear sprockets. https://www.gatescarbondrive.com/products/rear-sprockets?toothcount=19 https://www.gatescarbondrive.com/products/rear-sprockets?toothcount=20 The...

OrTrek: Yup, you're probably right. With it's 39 chain ring and 24 rear cog, looks like about mid 30's gear inches in gear 1 to 110-115 gear inches at gear 6. Will be interesting to see some hill climbs, but looks like it's built for speed. How did you calculate the gear ratios? The info I...

I bought one! Fast shipping, no damage. I'm 5' 9" and it is a little bit small for me. My knees nearly hit the stem when getting off the bike. I can almost put my feet flat on the ground while sitting on the seat, but get ok leg extension. I measure 43" handlebar height at it's maximum. A...

Thanks for the fast replies

How is the size of the trike? The video reviewers look hunched like it is too small. What diameter is the handlebar clamp and crossbar? Would a taller handlebar be possible? Do the cables have enough slack to raise the handlebars a few inches beyond the current maximum height? Lectric's...

I meant 60g. That is without the band. 78g with the headband

I got this ski helmet for $55...

Ski Goggles work great. I got these to go over my wide (137mm) glasses. I didn't like the way the goggles pressed the glasses' arms into my temples, so I got an old pair of glasses with a broken hinge and removed the other arm as well. The armless glasses float loose inside the goggles. They...

I used to get several flats a year on thin Gatorskin tires. I switched to Schwalbe Marathon Supremes (Mid level puncture protection) and got fewer flats. I then tried Schwalbe Marathons(Better protection) with Slime inner tubes. I got one puncture with those, a screw. When I pulled the screw out...

I got the 17.5 Ah battery for the 500 bike today It is dated 2022-09-21 so maybe that is why it is on sale. That is almost 13 months. The battery that came with the bike was dated 5 1/2 month before I got it. Ride1Ups website says the 17.5 Ah battery is larger than the original 13Ah, they...

The prices came down! The 17.5ah battery for the 500 is down to $395. The 13ah battery is now $335.
