    915miles in 45days = 32charge cycles

    OK, good to know because I can't even see myself getting to 300 full charge cycles before its time to get something new. I am a techy geek in my profession so I am always getting the latest and greatest when things come out. I sometimes wish I never got into this profession.... :-)

    Now the backlight went out on my display...

    I don't believe so because I would have had to turn it off in the menu and it was on when I got home from work until I charged it and then I noticed it not working the next time I turned the bike on.

    Does anyone on this forum work for Specialized?

    Would be nice if someone in their company watched the forums to see all the problems people are having and chime in.

    What else can go wrong on these 2016 Turbo S's.

    915miles in 45days = 32charge cycles

    Well what I do is always charge fully for the next days ride and when i get back it may only be down to 60 or 70% and I charge fully again for the next day. In other words, I fully charge after every ride no matter how low it gets. So I hope each of these charges don't count against a single...

    915miles in 45days = 32charge cycles

    Doug, We never let our battery's get below 40-50% before charging. Lot of times I still charge at 60-70%. I always like to have a full battery before riding the next day. How does this work against "charge cycles"?

    shorter handlebars?

    Have any of you guys shortened up your bars? What does it do for the handling? Better or worse?

    shorter handlebars?

    Does anyone make shorter bars? I would like something flat like the stock but maybe an inch or so shorter on each side. I guess I can trim mine down but just wondering if I can buy shorter ones.

    Seat post on turbo

    between the Thudbuster ST on my wife's turbo and just putting the BodyFloat on mine, I must say there is no comparison. The BF is so much more comfortable. But you pay for it.

    Charging issue.

    Doug, Trust me when I say we/they (Specialized), have tried everything. Does the same thing on or off the bike. No issues with my wife's $4000 cheaper base Turbo either. It's got to be some kind of electrical problem because I have noticed 3 problems during all of this: 1.) when it fully...

    Charging issue.

    I think I will but they said next lot of S's are not getting shipped out here until end of May so that sucks.

    Charging issue.

    Yep and all I get is from the dealer is "the Specialized techs are baffled and cant figure out whats wrong" and it is a bad batch they shipped from Taiwan so I have to wait until end of May when they ship the next batch out here. At this point I don't know what to do.

    Charging issue.

    Well after almost 3 weeks my dealer finally got another Turbo S direct from Specialized. They unboxed it and put it together. Then they charged it up and it is doing the exact same thing as my first one. It charges to 100% and then the lights start flashing and the charger won't shut off and...

    Looking For A 2 Bike Carrier

    I have the Yakima Hold Up 2 similar to the Kuat above but all black and it is only around $400. I think it is rated at 60lbs. per bike.

    2016 Turbo S tires are too wide for fender and rack kit!

    I am glad I live in San Diego where I don't need fenders because I think they look awful. Just my preference so don't slam me please.... :D Even though I ride mostly on the street, I like the typical mountain bike look of no fenders. But the main reason is I had to pay $400+ for a bike carrier...

    How many gears do you use?

    My bike has never been out of turbo mode but i just see no use for pedaling real fast so i never use but the top 3 gears at all times.

    How many gears do you use?

    i find that I only use maybe the top 3 gears at all times. Even with all the hills out here in San Diego, I only really use 9,10 and 11th gears all the time. I mostly just leave it in 11th gear. I don't really understand like Stromers having a front derailure with 2 sprockets up front for a road...

    Can't figure out how to navigate to street address in Mission Control

    I give up on the app until they release an update. The app is just full of bugs. It won't even let change my personal things like age and weight and bike stuff like tire size. Every time I try and change something it just goes back to the defaults. My dealer said an update is coming out very...
