How to use Specialized - MISSION CONTROL - MASTERMIND TCU - MICRO TUNE

[@billderas3420]

Finally got a 2023 Specialized Levo SL with Mastermind. Had to watch your excellent video again to get the skinny on the Mastermind...painlessly...LOL

[@SteveTaylorTheLocalLeadPro]

Your settings made my bike ride so much better. Thank You!

[@ntinospis8703]

Perfect explanation. Big thanks Sam !

[@SamsBikes]

Thanks champ

[@JubeProductions]

I just got a Turbo Levo Expert and haven't really set it up yet, so this was a great video that helped me understand the functions better than the manual. For me, I'm a turbo lover and always want to ride turbo mode. I've been riding mountain bikes for over 30 years and for me, pedaling is what I like the least about riding. I don't ride because it's good for me, I ride because I love the riding. If riding was bad for my health, i would still do it. I know the idea of adjusting the mode is to get the most out of your battery, but I just want all the power I can get, because it's so damn fun. I've only done 2 short rides so I don't know the range of my battery for how and where I ride. I know I can't ride in turbo all the time, and I'm going to have to learn how to make these adjustments. But for now, I can't imagine dialing back the power 😅

Great clip Sam. New Levo Expert owner. Most informative. Kudos!

[@warlock007-gold]

Not a problem at at Aaron

[@TheSoldkall]

Thank´s, nice vid. Will tune my SL after you setting and see how it feels.

[@SamsBikes]

Do it, let us know how you get on!

[@halizadeh36]

thank you a perfect explanation

[@betttina33333]

JUST GOT A LEVO 3 THANKS TO YOU, STILL KEEPING THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN ITS THE BEAST ON STEEP HILLS

[@SamsBikes]

Yes mate.... enjoy it

[@betttina33333]

I WANT YOU TO BE THE FATHER OF MY CHILDREN

[@AKA_MixMaster]

Sweet! Thank you!

[@SamsBikes]

I'm glad you liked it mate it was soooooooo much work

[@boggybigpants9462]

Brilliant Sam 👏..I’ve had my full fat Kenevo a while now and never bothered to have a go at a tune up ,always been happy ..but after watching this I thought I would have a play ….stuck it on 60 % Acceleration Response and settled for 40 % ..WOW. It makes a huge difference ..well chuffed …Brilliant channel you have mate …carry on the good work ..love it 👍🇬🇧

[@SamsBikes]

Yo Boggy Big Pants 👖 I’m really happy to hear that mate I really really love Mission Control and I like you never really played with it that much but definitely worth it and thanks for the kind words on the channel sooooo much work but I love it!

[@sprucelodge]

Hey Sam just picked up my new Levo on Saturday, all thanks to your super videos , will definitely look into the mission control app ? Keep up the super work 😀

[@SamsBikes]

Thanks champ! Your going to love the levo hit me up if you need any help with the set up!

[@DirtBikingFunWith14]

Great Job Sam. Could you do a video on how to pair a SRAM AXS with the Master Mind/Mission Control? I heard the Master Mind will show you what gear you're in on the display.

[@SamsBikes]

Hey Jeff I actually did one a few weeks back check my channel.

[@ddsgardening7437]

Nice Camino appearance on Embn, great exposure, you owe them a 🍺🍺or two ,Keep them info coming love all the tech u have been providing lately, Cheers Mate, Herron W.A.

[@SamsBikes]

Thanks 🙏 mate yep Steve is a legend bloody fast rider as well!

[@danpulley7925]

Great video, just got a Kenevo sl and this is going to save me reading the manual 🤣

[@SamsBikes]

That was the idea enjoy it and defo use microtune you will love it!

[@ponymoore6140]

The very best tutorial on You Tube. Thanks, Sam!

[@SamsBikes]

Thanks bro! I really appreciate it took me sooooo long to work out a basic way to explain this amazing app.

[@cherylparrish1179]

So helpful. The guys in my shop had no idea about the HR -

[@ruizhiyang6631]

Thanks for your impressive vedio

[@joaomc1952]

Thanks a lot Sam. The best explanation I have found so far about support/peak power. Just note that Nm measures torque, not power. So a 50% support with 100% peak power provides 265 watts of additional power to the pedals (for a 530 watts motor), right?

[@SamsBikes]

Thanks mate I tried really hard to explain it so everyone could understand it and you have just confused me haha 😂 I know torque is not power but it was the best way to explain it I think.

[@malanalan1]

50% support provides 205% torque amplification. The actual power provided depends on the rider's torque input. It can actually reach the peak power.

[@rafaroennau]

Hello Sam, greetings from Brasil. What is the difference between the motor brose 2.2 for 2.1 in the turbo levo bikes?

[@matthieubrasselet1]

Cool tips again and again, thanks Sam !

[@SamsBikes]

Thanks mate this one was a really hard video to nail but I wanted to do it because so many people don’t use their turbo to the max!

[@garnerjm1]

Good job Sam, tell me, can you connect the one heart rate monitor to two devices. Ie Mission control app and the my zone app at the same time? how about testing some add on anti theft devices for another video.

[@SamsBikes]

Wow 😯 I’m not sure let me try, and as for other upgrades I think we should see some stuff roll out early next year

[@danmitchell1143]

I purchased the Lego SL Turbo in April 2021. The display on the tube is an older version and curious if you know if I can swap it out for the new Mastermind TCU. Would be great to be able to monitor Candace, Power, Heart Rate, etc without having to mount my phone on the handlebar. Always learn a lot when I watch your videos. Thanks

[@SamsBikes]

Thanks Dan unfortunately the new TCU isn’t available to buy aftermarket I’ve heard it could have to do with the worldwide shortage of chips. It might change in the future but not sure.

[@NeilJKitchiner]

@@SamsBikes But does it work if you upgrade to the new TUC?

[@christopherhand4584]

Yes it does. If you can get your hands on one, it’s a direct swap

[@ernie3878]

Any news on the 2022 Levo alloy models and if they will have this technology built-in? Thanks

[@SamsBikes]

Nothing yet sorry mate

[@Hessischenduro]

Which cardio belt should i buy for the kenevo SL?

[@SamsBikes]

I just have a cheap Amazon Bluetooth one like 25€

[@Hessischenduro]

@@SamsBikes link?

[@tedtedsen269]

why is the shuttle mode not visibel on my turbo vado 6.0 and 3.0 is it only for mtb

[@SamsBikes]

Really not sure mate maybe it’s only emtb s?

[@EvaTess]

Hi Sam, great video! Is there a way to use my wife’s bike and have access to Mission Control using my phone?

[@luv2flypilot]

Can you add more than 3 customized screens or are you limited to 3 like comes default from the factory?

[@mvdh05]

Hi Sam, Good explanation 👌. From the shop was my new Levo set at 2000mm Wheel Circumference. Is guess if you set it higher, your speed is correct but your bike goes slower?

[@philipchalker4693]

Great Video Sam! How accurate do you find the tracking in mission control vs your Garmin?

[@steelgtr]

sounds like support and shuttle do the exact same thing?

[@SoliiD]

Hey man, i know this vid is over 1year old now but i hope on a reply! i currently have a turbo levo HT comp but i might wonna sell him and buy me a turbo levo comp (full sus) the reason being that i have a really bad back (hernia etc etc) But i mainly use my bike on the normal road. (i just like the MTB model/look i really dislike the road bikes ) Should i keep my HT ? Or will the switch be a good idea? love the vid!

[@SamsBikes]

Hey mate thanks for comment, I personally find full suspension ebikes a lot more comfortable than Hard Tails maybe you should go to your local specialized dealer and test a full suspension and see also tell them you have a bad back it might be better to size down and get 40mm riser bars it will sit you up higher on the bike and be better for your back.

[@RiskOnRealEstate]

Can I link my Apple Watch as a heart rate monitor ? Or does it have to be specific to specialized ?

[@SamsBikes]

Just give it ago try and pair it! Let me know thanks

[@RiskOnRealEstate]

@@SamsBikes does not work . Apple Watch would need to broadcast heart rate via Bluetooth which it doesn’t do .

[@mcdonagh05]

How about a Samsung Galaxy 5 watch?

[@danconnelly4945]

What updates do you think we will see on the mastermind? I thought there was going to be some sort of anti theft feature. It would also be good if we could upload gpx files then there would really be no need for a garmin.

[@SamsBikes]

I’m sure we will see loads next year they are just getting started

[@cherylparrish1179]

I don't see where you showed us how to upload to Strava? New 2023 SL S Works Gen 2 bike :)

[@fraserlewis7333]

buddy fab ch from europe how come i do not have the accel response or shuttle modes on my mission control app i have noticed this on many vids ( you are the go to bloke first)

[@Petterlopez]

I have the same issue, could you fix it?

[@deathrow83]

Hey Sam are you getting a 2022 rail to test? I'm interested to hear your opinion on it. I'm also an Aussie who lives in Europe and I've noticed something a little frustrating, the RRP in EUR for the rail 9.8 is like $2k AUD more than what you pay in Australia for exactly the same bike! Thanks!

[@SamsBikes]

Hey mate I’m not sure that’s going to happen but I don’t think it’s that different is it? Longer but pretty similar geo oh and a bigger battery I’m sure it will ride like the next size up I personally think 490 is too long for a trail bike in a large

[@deathrow83]

@@SamsBikes thanks for the reply, yeah I just checked in case I had it wrong but it's true. Rail 9.8 XT on trek au site is $12299 and on Trek Italia it's €9099 which is $14080 at the current exchange.

[@SamsBikes]

Yep that sucks the Aussie just have more money no? Haha 😂

[@deathrow83]

@@SamsBikes haha I was thinking I should buy it in Australia and bring it over in my checked luggage lol thanks mate and keep up the good vids!

[@pauloandradx]

Can i charge my phone on the turbo levo?

[@smd3697]

Do you have any information about displaying heart monitor information from an Apple Watch with the new Master Mind? Can it be gone?

[@SamsBikes]

I don’t but good question I’ll try and find out

[@jovos7851]

How would you set the tune for city driving

[@SamsBikes]

I would say do 30-40 support and 100% peak power

[@ponymoore6140]

Now I am used to my Mission Control, two things: 1} The alarm sound is pretty useless, so quiet - I was expecting that the alarm would sound on my phone. 2) Is it possible to orientate the map, so that is shows the ground in the same direction as I am travelling in? Some points to update, development team!

[@ApexSlayer662]

Hey Sam! Great videos! Two questions: 1. What is “radar” in the settings? 2. Can you change to 12 hour time format or does it only display 24 hour format? Thanks!!

[@awestrope74]

Radar is to pair devices like the Garmin Vario. I have the Magene L508 and works great.

[@SamsBikes]

Rider I did a Deep Dive into Mission Control and Mastermind - Got any Questions? just ask happy help...

[@Hessischenduro]

I can not find response and shuttle in my app... only Support and peak is visible. Any idea?

[@SamsBikes]

Are you using An SL?

[@toddpalmer3507]

Can I use Apple Watch to tell my Tcd my heart rate? Tried pairing and couldn’t figure it out

[@awestrope74]

No

[@ChristyannLoja]

I have the new Levo. My TCU says no battery. I can’t get to turn my bike ON. My bike is fully charged. Do you know that the problem is?

[@stefann.1918]

Take out the TCU from the Frame and reconnect the 2 Connectors properly. That might help!

[@ChristyannLoja]

@@stefann.1918 thanks. Did that and still the same.

[@SamsBikes]

It sounds very strange head over to your local Specialized dealer I’m sure they will sort it!

[@ChristyannLoja]

@@SamsBikes thanks Sam. Guess don’t have a choice… 👍🏼

[@tromansn]

I had this display on the TCU “no battery” 3 times on a demo bike, until the bike worked. The sealing against water is so good it traps air. Press hard on the battery cable plug (magnet) you have to dispel the air, try wiggling a little side to side, as you need to break the seal, keep doing it then try and turn bike on until it works

[@malanalan1]

Why do they have support and peak power? I don't think Support is the percentage of the peak power. Otherwise Support would be percentage of percentage, right?. In other words, what does 100% support mean?

[@awestrope74]

Peak power simply limits the maximum output of the motor. 50% peak power limits motor to 125 watts (250 watts is full power). Support is how much assistance based on your effort. If you are putting out 100 watts and support is 70% motor will add 70 watts to your 100 watts.

[@rhobi9406]

The feature where you log onto the specialized website and collect a million-and-a-half data points on your ride is the very definition of too much information. I don't even use a bike computer!

[@cherylparrish1179]

9-23 - no acceleration response on my display -

[@SamsBikes]

Hey Cheryl welcome to the channel, the SL doenst have acceleration, response or shuttle

I love your channel! You rock @@SamsBikes

[@christopherprice55]

Mission control app is rubbish hasn't worked tidy since had my bike 👎👎

[@frankdepasquale8715]

Is there anyone that knows how to add another bike onto Mission Control? I cannot figure this out.
