Don't distract me. I managed to sleep for 2 hours at night, and now I'm trying to get awake for the early morning gravel cycling ride... ![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Generally, Amazon has a reasonable RETURN policy and right now for the holiday season, it is even longer. If that product allows returns and you think you can scope it out, you might give the purchase a try.The Suntour spring shock on my wife's Tero 3.0 is pretty much junk. How do I figure out what will fit her bike? Or can somebody make a recommendation. The 5.0 comes with a Recon Silver but I'm guessing not all Recon Silvers will fit.
The 5.0 specs say 110mm of travel but the Recon Silvers on Amazon says 100mm of travel.
Here is one priced right but how do I figure out if it fits? Thanks.

Once the RockShox SID is installed on her bike, my wife's Recon Silver will be up for sale. Let me know if interested!

So what was the original weight before the changes? And is that a small or a medium?My wife's Tero 5.0 has been put on a diet; my goal as stated previously is 40 lb or less without the battery. So far I have swapped out the rims for Roval carbon (thank you LBS for the 20% discount!), and tires for Mezcal Vittoria XC Trails. On my hanging scale it is now about 40lb 8 oz. I have a RockShox SID on order, which will drop 1.5 to 2 lbs or so more from the total weight. Since adding the carbon wheels my wife loves her bike even more! Off-road hills that she had to walk up while riding her Vado SL 5.0 are now ridden; the power of this bike is incredible. I'm 6 years her junior, and it's a challenge for me now to keep up with her on the climbs on my Levo SL Expert.
Interested. Sending you a PM.Once the RockShox SID is installed on her bike, my wife's Recon Silver will be up for sale. Let me know if interested! It will ship from California.
If you really want to save some weight I'll swap my wife's 3.0 battery for your wife's 5.0 battery and I'll pay for shipping for both batteries.

How inappropriate! I like it!!If you really want to save some weight I'll swap my wife's 3.0 battery for your wife's 5.0 battery and I'll pay for shipping for both batteries. I've never wife swapped before![]()
Y'know, I never gave any thought to the difference in weight between her 710 wh battery and your 530 wh battery.If you really want to save some weight I'll swap my wife's 3.0 battery for your wife's 5.0 battery and I'll pay for shipping for both batteries. I've never wife swapped before![]()
It's a medium, and without the battery the original weight was 43lb 1 oz on my digital hanging scale. I also upgrade her cassette to an XDome that saved another 6.8 oz.So what was the original weight before the changes? And is that a small or a medium?
Your calculation is about right. By the way Hammick, I apologize but I decided against getting the replacement fork. I learned that the adjustments are basically on or off; locked out or doing its thing, with no further adjustment. I may end up going with something from Fox in the future. If I do, I will let you know about her oem fork.I just weighed the 530wh battery from my wife's Tero 3.0 and it's 6.903 lbs. So by my calculations the 710wh battery should weight 8.6 lbs.

Weight winnie on Treo.It's a medium, and without the battery the original weight was 43lb 1 oz on my digital hanging scale. I also upgrade her cassette to an XDome that saved another 6.8 oz.
I am indeed a weight weenie on the Tero, for reasons stated previously. My Kuat rack capacity is 2 bikes 40lbs each max. My Turbo Levo SL Expert (which I am also a weight weenie on), is about 37 or 38 lbs. The Tero minus the battery is a tick under 40lbs. So there........Weight winnie on Treo.![]()
