    Turbo Como IGH, Como SL IGH & Vado IGH Chain Guard Recall

    Would not surprise me if this was not applied in the UK.

    Charger advice

    I was thinking of getting an additional charger for my Tero X 5.0. And I was looking at my charger which is an SBC-C07. The charger for my wife’s Como 3.0 is an SBC-C04. They both appear to be electrically similar. So my questions are as follows. Firstly would the C04 charge my Tero or vice...

    Whom pays for your charge ?

    I ride to work and back 4 days a week. So just carry my charger in my pannier. And charge at work if I need to. Getting another charger would be a good idea though.

    Specialized Como 3.0 more torque

    Thanks @Stefan Mikes but don’t get me started on the ridiculous European restriction. But you make a good point re US class 3 spec.

    Specialized Como 3.0 more torque

    Thanks guys no it’s not about top speed. The ability to climb more easily is paramount.

    Impressed with Specialized store service

    I agree they are damn good. Our local store in Chester was equally impressive on a recent visit to get our bikes serviced.

    Raise bar height Tero X

    I seriously love my Tero X 5.0 but on longer rides I’m starting to feel pain in my shoulders & neck. Reducing seat height is helpful. But then knee pain starts to raise its head. Anybody done it. Did you fit raise bars or change the headstock ? Thankyou in advance.

    Specialized Como 3.0 more torque

    Much obliged Jeremy. I just had a good chat with the boss who tells me that she does spin for as long as she is able. So I’m guessing as you have suggested that a change of gearing will not help sadly. I also found this thread. But it’s looking like a change of bike with greater torque is needed...

    Specialized Como 3.0 more torque

    Fair point it’s the derailleur version with chain. And not the Gates belt

    Specialized Como 3.0 more torque

    Dear all Just trying to figure out how to help my wife. We purchased a new como 3.0 with a 50Nm motor. It’s a great bike but my wife is finding it tough on the bigger hills. She tried my Tero X with 70Nm and found it far better, not surprisingly. But unfortunately changing her bike for...

    Tern HSD to GSD

    Apologies I didnt mean to catch you out. But yes the GSD seems to be my only option. Except for Riese & Muller. Which are even more expensive than Tern. So completely out of the question monetarily.

    Tern HSD to GSD

    Thankyou so much for taking the time to reply. I will continue to mull it over. But I love the combination of the Nexus hub and CDX carbon drive on my HSD. So far its been so reliable despite such poor weather conditions. The Active Line Plus motor is generally pretty good. But then I have not...

    Tern HSD to GSD

    I currently have a Tern HSD S8i. I use it almost daily and mostly for commuting to work. I have had this bike for two years and so far it has been utterly reliable in the most atrocious weather & road conditions. But I have a hankering for a GSD because of the extra battery. The better Bosch...

    Derestricting Bosch Active Line Plus

    I should have picked this up from where I left off in Jun 2022. I went ahead and got the Volspeed chip. And touch wood so far its been brilliant. The motor feels so much more smooth. You can hardly feel the cutoff. But then in Cheshire its very flat so I rarely hit the 27.9mph maximum. But I now...

    Why Class 3 is such bad legislation...

    Bit late to the party here but I often wonder as I watch another rider on a non assisted bike cruising at 17 - 18mph. Why in Europe we ebikers are restricted to 15.5mph. Another fellow brit posted that as the cyclepaths are shared with pedestrians. Then it is usually not safe to be doing 15mph...

    Derestricting Bosch Active Line Plus

    Yep agree I can do the same for a short while. And then I get peed off with that. Thanks for the reply but it isnt really that simple is it. But look I didnt start this thread to debate the morality of right or wrong. I respect anybodies point of view but sorry im not changing mine.

    Derestricting Bosch Active Line Plus

    Thanks my friend I too appreciate your civility. Im too old now to take or give offence. I believe in Karma but strongly believe in treating folk as you would like to be treated yourself. Sorry about the 'lycra' remark. In the UK there is a strange division between those in lycra and those they...
