I was on a longer Creo 1 ride once, which gave me the understanding how Shimano brifters worked. (Turned out a drop-bar bike was not good for me!) But that's not what I wanted to say. If you are upgrading a mechanical 1x MTB drivetrain to wireless, you just replace the derailleur and the...

Pulsar does not do the GPS navigation I guess. Does it the ride recording autonomically (not connected to a smartphone) with the integration with popular services such as Strava or Komoot?

Good to know! Anything related to the drop bars still remains a mystery to me... I think the brifters make the thing quite complicated?

I'm not sure if we are talking exactly the same thing but my Deore XT mechanical shifter allows me downshifting up to three gears at once. Now, the Di2 -250 indeed allows shifting through the entire cassette range in one go (Multishift). It is done the best on the SW-9250 as each paddle has two...

Well, Mahle promises many parametres to display on a Garmin data screen for the x35: Speed/Distance (from the rear wheel speed sensor) E-Bike Battery Level Travel Mode (Assistance Level) Travel Range Rider Power & Cadence Any error messages. That matches what I could get on a 540 from my...

Haven't seen your ride report here for a while.

Can you use the Pulsar to control a Garmin? I assume your Van Rysel has drop bars? I'm not well versed with mounting remotes on a 25 mm tube.

Thank you. So, seven thousand quids for the least expensive build, and it is a 700 Wh battery. No local service or warranty "worldwide". While you can get a Levo 4 Alloy for five and half grand, an 840 Wh battery, 105 Nm, 810 W peak power. Local service and warranty worldwide.

The best analysis, Jabber! My choice of the e-drivetrain was the follow up of upgrading the rear wheel to DT Swiss, which gave me new options, such as going for the 12-speed.

Specialized has no slightest reason to slash the Levo 4 prices in the UK or EU. Besides, could I get a link to an Atherton Trail e-MTB based on the Avinox?

It is doable with Garmin starting from the 540 (Explore 2 might miss the LEV ANT+ capability but I know the 540 supports the protocol). Now, the x35 has the LEV ANT+ protocol built in, so you can connect your e-bike to a Garmin as an E-Bike Sensor. The primary function of the x35 and Garmin...

Who said that?

I rode to an I re-posted the picture of you, Chris (pumping the tyre), to my private circle of friends on FB with a caption: "@Brix, here's your favourite Englishman who you do call Cartridge" :) She replied: "He's barely visible but I admit the scenery is beautiful!" A friend, who is a heavy...

@stompandgo: I must admit I admire your experience! In one of earlier posts you wrote I should add two chain links for a perfect setup. You were totally correct! (An attempt to add as many as 4 links made the chain loose in the top gear. It is all correct with two links more!) Thank you!

After almost 5 years post the purchase, the SL Cable (Road 220 mm) got damaged, too. Namely, the lock handle on the e-bike plug tore off on the last longer ride. The new cable was sent by Specialized BV immediately post the purchase and is expected to be delivered to the Specialized rep nearest...

Latest News Confronted with the long waiting time for a new shifter paddle, I've bought and installed a way less expensive shifter/switch, the SW-M6250-R. It cannot do advanced things like shifting many gears in one go, and the paddles are not adjustable. I don't care. At least the switch looks...

Cannot wait for your video!

Shimano Di2 9250 with an -R switch clamp It is not enough to buy a Shimano e-derailleur. You need an Upgrade Kit that includes: The derailleur The shifter (-IR for Shimano I-Spec brake levers or -R with a handlebar clamp) The derailleur battery The charging bracket with an USB-C cable A spare...

Current mechanical system I keep a mechanical Shimano Deore XT 11-speed drivetrain on my Vado 6.0 and have no intention to replace it. (I will only discuss 1x drivetrain for flat handlebars here). Pros Mechanical drivetrains have reached their technological paramount since the invention of...
