When did you pick it up? There were issues with the early SL's.

In March or April and it always read correct. It is clearly that ride in the rain that caused this. I guess that the broken seal piece is to blame for this. But what does that mean? Is the unit broken now???

They may warranty the whoe system and send a new one, if you got one of the earlier defective models

I talked to Rich ar Wheelbuilder.com about this, here's what he said:

"With regards to PT SL quality, they did have some initial quality problems until they halted production in March. All hubs produced after April/May have had excellent quality. Have not seen a dud in the last 120 hubs we laced."

From what I read, the issues were related to water intrusion.

Did you try putting the CPU in test mode and running through the test steps in the manual? Unless you have a spare wheel or a friend with a SL, that's what the Graber folks will ask you to do right away.

Sometimes if you get water in them, if you let it dry for a few days, it will start working again. Some of the people who ride a lot in the rain will put a bit of dielectric grease near the seal and the axle for insurance against water seeping in there.

thanks everybody.

I will try putting the CPU in test mode like you said. Do you know what the difference between early PT SL and newer SL versions is?

Call or email CycleOps/Graber and arrange to send your wheel back for service. It is relatively quick and painless. I sent my Pro back for overhaul after 8000 miles...turnaround was about 2 weeks...and hey...no charge to me except for the initial cost of sending the wheel to them. My experience that time and with initially getting additional harnesses is that this company is working really hard to stand behind their products. Hell, my wheel was working perfectly in the electronics when I sent it back...I'd just worn out the cartridge bearings that are not easily consumer repairable...but they went ahead and replaced the torque tube anyway...I suppose that is a wear-degraded item...but again...the power function was working fine when I sent it... So now I've got an essentially new wheel again.

Also, if I recall, the early problems with PT SLs were NOT in the weather seal department...I think it had to do with heat buildup in the hub electronics causing failure (direct sun through the carbon windows heating the electronics or something to that effect)...

Yours sounds like a simple failure of the O-rings...and if you hadn't serviced the batteries prior to noticing this, then this would be a defect from the factory...I'm betting they'll do right by you on this one...
