    what size rear derailleur

    So I am getting ready to upgrade to a Shimano XTR Di2 rear derailleur. I ride a Specialized Turbo S and don't know if I need a mid or long derailleur with my stock cassette and chain. I think the biggest ring on the back is a 48T? Any help on my decision? Thanks.....JD

    So I finally gave up on the Turbo S charger

    I had my LBS order me a new base Turbo charger and traded my S charger for it. At least this one shuts off when it's done and my bike lights don't flash on and off when it's done so I don't have to babysit the charging. It still only charges to 98% and resets the odometer on every charge but at...

    Di2 derailleur

    what are the differences or advantages/disadvantages in using an Ultegra or XTR Di2 derailleur like the ST2s uses? I want to put a Di2 setup on my Specialized Turbo S and I don't know which one to put on.

    No Specilaized reps on the forum?

    I think I asked this before but why are there no Specialized reps on the forum to chime in with all the issues going on? You would think a big company like this would monitor all the forums to listen to customers about all the problems they are having with their product. Especially at the price...

    Turbo S tires...

    Are they selling the Armadillo tires that comes on the Turbo S in the stores yet? I want to put these on my wife's base Turbo and get rid of those slicks.

    Poor support from Specialized

    So before I got this 3rd Turbo S, @Douglas Ruby gave me a support person's name out in Utah or Colorado or somewhere that I was emailing with quite a bit on the issues of the Turbo S. Ken Wood and John Friedrich were the specialists I was talking with. They were really on top of the situation at...

    Anyone else out there with a 2016 Turbo S?

    Just wanting to know if you are having the same charging issues as me and any other issues? I have emailed the 2 Specialized Engineers who's names I got from @Douglas Ruby 3 or 4 times now the last few weeks but they just don't respond anymore. Getting frustrated.:mad:

    Well I just got my 3rd Turbo S and...

    they still haven't fixed the problem. Waited 2 months for them to send a new batch to the US and they still haven't fixed the charging problem. Charges to 98% (which I don't mind that) but then the lights just start flashing and don't shut off. And the led on the charger just sits there and...

    whats a good carbon handlebar?

    just for street riding and nothing with a rise. Just similar to my stock bar on my Specialized Turbo S. Just want a little more vibration dampening on the front end. Planning on cutting a bit off each end too to make it a little narrower than the stock 680mm.

    What shoes do you wear...

    Distance for base Turbo in full turbo mode

    So my wife and I are going to take a 25 mile ride this weekend and I am wondering in her base Turbo if the battery will last on turbo mode the whole way. It's going to be a pretty flat ride so she can probably bump it down into eco mode for a bit but just wondering if the battery will last 25...

    Does anyone on this forum work for Specialized?

    Would be nice if someone in their company watched the forums to see all the problems people are having and chime in.

    shorter handlebars?

    Does anyone make shorter bars? I would like something flat like the stock but maybe an inch or so shorter on each side. I guess I can trim mine down but just wondering if I can buy shorter ones.

    How many gears do you use?

    i find that I only use maybe the top 3 gears at all times. Even with all the hills out here in San Diego, I only really use 9,10 and 11th gears all the time. I mostly just leave it in 11th gear. I don't really understand like Stromers having a front derailure with 2 sprockets up front for a road...

    First commute to work today....

    Kind of chilly for San Diego. About 45 degrees at 6am. Rode hard just to know how long it will take me each morning riding fast. Averaged about 25 mph. Got to work in about 26 minutes around 11 miles door to door. Happy with that because it takes me about 20 minutes driving my Jeep. Battery was...

    Charging issue.

    So I am noticing an issue charging my new Turbo S. It only reaches 98% and then the lights just start flashing and the charger lights flash red/green. Sounds like I might have a problem. Will call my dealer today.

    Anybody feel numbness in their hands while riding?

    My wife is complaining of this. I put better grips on but that didn't work. Any suggestions?
