    Commuter Log

    took the Turbo shot to work today. 22.1 avg speed for 13.8 miles, Turbo mode all the way to work with one exeption at a section where I thought lost a screw yesterday from my left brake lever. I tried to look for it but couldn't find it. Arrived at work with 45% battery left. Not too bad for...

    Constant Accelerating with 2015 Turbo X

    I had that happen over a year ago. I wrote a post about this under Specialized. Took it back to the dealer and they ended up replacing the entire wheel under warranty.

    I just checked ... I started this thread on March 29, 2014 ! :-) nice. Good showing for a reliable EBike. I'm sure there are better choices out there now. I haven't really checked what's hot now but I'm happy for whatever is pushing the envelope nowadays :-)

    Commuter Log

    Checking in. Turbo is still going strong but I have now essentially worn out the casette and had to have it replaced. Not a huge cost. I think the cassette was 60 dollars with a total service bill coming up to under 80 dollars. Bike is great. I rode it today as I'm nursing a bum right knee. I...

    Am I missing something?

    I'm on closing in on the end of my second year with Specialized battery and the bike is still going strong. I haven't really seen any noticeable drop in charge. At any rate, they now have even larger battery and I have contemplated just buying it anyway. With the amount of my commuting miles the...

    the roads were much wetter this morning ... I guess I did not give it much thought so I think it will be laundry time when I get home tonight. :-)

    Commuter Log

    And Winter is here again. 2 Weeks ago I put my Nokian Haakapelitas winter tires on my Turbo and officially crowned it to be my full time winter commuter again. The temperatures have been around freezing mark for the past two weeks which is much warmer than we're used to. While the standard...

    2016 ST2 vs Specialized Turbo S

    I have had nothing but excellent support from Specialized with respect to my Turbo. I'm not saying this is the norm but I also had an issue with a Stromer and got really crappy support from Stromer. Crazy Lenny saved the day - excellent person, excellent dealer no matter where in the union you live.

    Note to Court: Feature FAT RIDERS on test rides!

    Court could easily wear some sort of weight belt ;-) or carry a St.Bernard in a backpack ;-)

    2016 ST2 vs Specialized Turbo S

    Weight should definitely be a consideration if you plan on going up some stairs or putting the bike onto a bike rack.

    I think my totals will keep uploading at EBR so there is no reason to quit now :-) Although when the snowbanks take away the bike lanes (middle of December) then it's time to hang it up :-)

    Stuff needed for Winter commuting with Fat bike

    I use dillinger 4 and 5 on my fat bikes and like them. If you can put an insulating cover on the battery without too much fuss I would. There is at least 20% loss of range in the winter. Warm boots ... Because your toes will freeze

    Anyone here joined the National Bike Challenge?

    Starting to get nippy in the morning. Anyone (in the northern states) noticed? :-) This morning it was most evident. My knees were freezing ;-) I might have to wear pants to work and shorts on the way back. And I will need to start adding long finger gloves. Friday an order of biking shoe...
