    Specialized Turbo Vado SL: An Incredible E-Bike (User Club)

    Honestly, I find it odd. If I took my car in for a service and they told me to bring it in first thing on a certain day then I would expect it back the same day. I do not see why bike shops would be any different.

    Am i right to be confused about LBS and their booking systems? maybe there is something I am just not understanding here. Booked it in last week and was told to bring it in first thing today - I was the first person in the shop this morning: "Any idea when I can come and pick it up?" "Could be...

    Yes, flat mount. Went to the bike shop today to book the service for next week. I mentioned the noise on full lock and the mechanic said the brakes are toast and both rotors and pads will need to be changed. They must have got contaminated somehow. He also said the head mount was loose and...

    I have the Shimano XT and I loved the one finger control from the start. Brakes themselves are great when setup. Mine need some TLC after the winter

    @Stefan Mikes Would love to hear how the Wheeltop compares to Eagle AXS once you have it installed and setup.

    My April service is looking more expensive by the week. Horrendous screeching from the brakes at full power. Cleaned the discs but nothing changed, they look pretty scored as well. Annoying as the Shimano XT brakes are only 9 months old. The service is 200 UK pounds without any add ons so...

    Entirely the other way round on the 5.0

    As the 4.0 and the 5.0 have different forks I wonder if there is a difference in what tire size they can comfortably accommodate?

    It is just because they have changed their tire sizes and replaced the 38 with a 40 and the 42 with the 45. I thought the 42 were so much better than the 38 standard tires but I guess that could have been down to the compound and that I went from tubed to tubeless. I guess the 40s are the...

    I am wondering if the new Pathfinder TLR in a 45 will fit? AI tells me that it is pretty much the same size as the 2Bliss Pros in a 42 that I have now . I have no rack on my bike and the front tyre has about 3mm of clearance at the sides. The rear tyre has about 5mm of clearance - both inflated...

    Not used my Vado SL 5.0 since December as I damaged my leg quite badly and cycling and walking was out for long time. The bike was stored in the house for the cold snap and never left its hiding place till yesterday when I went for a gentle ride to the shops, I was glad of the motor that's for...

    It was bundled along with a full service and I also had a new chain. I forgot that they put tax on all of that as well. I cannot show the full bill without personal info here and there.

    Not cheap! But I am glad I did it.

    I remain super impressed with my Shimano XT brake upgrade. One finger operation, lovely feel, they were better than I expected and give me a warm fuzzy feeling every time I need to use them ☺️

    I might be in the market for new tyres in the new year as for sure the bike shop will suggest my I need to replace my Pathfinder Pro 2Bliss 700x42 due to wear. Now my riding has definitely changed in the last year and I am pretty much solely on the road these days I am wondering if I should look...
