The Fox Transfer claims to be fully user-serviceable without special tools. I'll need a shock pump to keep the pressure topped up.

So?

Did you get a replacement? How's it going?

Good points. How do you know when your dropper needs (a) more air, and (b) a full maintenance?

Many thanks! Exactly my use case. The mechanical Fox Transfer dropper below is the one I tested on my friend's Amflow eMTB. Would LOVE to make it work on my SL. Acceptable total cost. Comes in 3 diameters and many lengths. Guessing the 150 mm travel option would be plenty for me. Acceptable...

Way too generous. They don't care about other people, period. In their minds, rules don't apply to them. They fancy themselves outlaws and wear full-face helmets for anonymity. Just look at the reckless mass ride-outs they do, taking over busy public streets and bikeways with zero regard for...

Excellent outcome, well-written article for a change! According to the sponsor, the proposed CA bill SB1167 will make it easier get charges like this to stick. It also puts the folks who sell these machines as legal ebikes at greater legal risk. About time.

Still on the original seatpost, and the ride with tubeless tires at 40 psi is just fine. As I said in the OP, this is all about more stable bike handling in certain frequently encountered situations. And I already know from my dropper test that a dropper will make a lot of sense for me in...

Gee, kinda reluctant to do that in public. ;^} Thanks! Will work out a plan of attack with my LBS tomorrow with that cable routing issue in mind. One way or another, I'm putting a dropper on this bike. Anyone know of a good value in electronic droppers?

Good mechanical dropper for the SL 1 5.0 EQ? Rode a bike with a dropper for the first time yesterday. Revolutionary!! Only questions now are (a) which one, and (b) any special considerations on the SL 1 5.0 EQ? Would appreciate any help in finding a middle-tier mechanical solution with decent...

Sorry, that's just plain silly. A new batch of ebike laws went into effect in CA at the start of 2026, and a new proposed bill, SB1167, already discussed in another thread, will soon come before the state legislature. All quite reasonable IMO, all aimed primarily at illegal ebikes and reckless...

With or without fenders?

Beautiful! What part of England again? Two months of darkness and rain is a lot endure. Got a taste of that in our time around San Francisco — only more like 1 month at a time in winter there. Definitely wears on you. Here in SW SoCal, we get a lot of gloom from the marine layer — especially in...

Once on vacation with kids in Maine, we lined up for dinner at a small, locally famous lobster shack. Once inside, my 4 year-old daughter ran straight for the live lobster tank, nose to the glass. "Look, mom, they have Sebastians!!!", she called back with great delight. Everybody smiled. (She...

I have the same compulsion. Just can't let a distance ending in an 8 or 9 stand. Luckily, I can top off with quiet 1-mile laps around the neighborhood. Love it when those perfect rides just come together. Nice to ride a bike you admire. Feel that way about my Specialized SL 1. Still get the N+1...

What's the issue with concrete slabs?

If you average all the hugs winners give or get after the finish line, bet the women have the men beat at least 5 to 1.

Thanks! My SL 1 5.0 EQ has fenders. Are you using the Pirelli 45s with or without fenders? Same question for @Cycologist .
