On a Bosch system a charge cycle is a 100% charge: IE, 100%, 20%+80%, 60%+40%, 50%+50%, doesn't matter all considered one charge cycle. I guess I thought all manufactures figured it this way, guess that I was wrong.
Stefan, first off I wanted to thank you for sharing all your knowledge and experience with Specialized bikes. I sold an airplane this spring that I had for 41 years so I decided to splurge on a couple of new bikes for the wife and I. My wife wanted the Turbo Vado step through SL 4.0, she wanted...
Welcome to the forum! I just ordered a Turbo Creo2 Comp E5 this morning. I have been watching the Specialized website daily waiting for inventory to be available and today they had my size in a 56 available so I pulled the trigger. I hope that I enjoy it as much as other riders of it do. How has...
Rab, for all the riding you do you always manage to show us something new. Kudos for a great job recording your rides, I really enjoy reading and viewing your adventures.
Jim, I asked my LBS that question about Bosch motors (he is a Bosch certified shop) performance line cx vs performance line speed motors and he told me the motors internally look the same and he suspects that Bosch uses software to change the motors characteristics. The cx is class 1 and speed...
Another epic ride Rab! If I tried that ride with 2 batteries they would find my exhausted dead carcass 50 miles out. I don't know how you do it, ride that distance, that speed with unimaginable elevation gains and still have energy to wright up a fabulous ride report, I wouldn't be able to crack...
Thanks BlackHand, yes i typically pedal with a cadence of 70. That is an interesting graph that you showed, I dont think that my Performance Line Speed motor has such a steep line to max wattage.
Thank you guys for your thoughts on this. Stefan I will definitely try to track down a dealer to get a test ride before deciding to purchase. Right now I'm in the day dreaming stage. I don't mind going slower, it hurts less when I crash 😳. In the winter months, on an analog on fluid trainer, I...
Stefan, I currently ride a gen 4 Bosch performance speed line bike and am considering a second bike. I like the Vado SL that you ride and am considering the Vado 5.0 SL. I ride 95% of the time in the tour setting never touching sport unless facing a really nasty hill or stiff headwind, in 4000...
I concur with what Blackhand says, I dont have his milage but I have run Johnny Watts for 2000 miles and after changing from Super Moto's after scaring myself in fall conditions with wet pavement and leaves. I find the JW's much better suited for those conditions. Bonus, no fllats so far in...
