Hopefully Wheeltop has improved their firmware to match their hardware.

There are a couple of Specialized support articles that explain. Home > Resources > All About Turbo > Turbo Super Light (SL) System > Powering Your Ride: Battery Safety, Longevity & Responsibility and Home > Resources > All About Turbo > Turbo Super Light (SL) System > Turbo SL System: Battery...

The Specialized Mahle drive shaft is about 34mm diameter vs a SRAM DUB crank axle at 28.99mm. The bearings are correspondingly larger which why we don't normally have any bottom bracket issues for the life of the motor.

Yes the Creo 1 is road boost with 12 x 148mm Centerlock. It came with Shimano but I have since converted to SRAM with a XD driver. Centerlock is not required as you can also use a six bolt sensor although some third party magnets may not work. See the All About Turbo section article...

Did you try to charge the Mastermind TCU with a USB C? A MM TCU bicycle will not start if the TCU charge is too low. Normal operation is the TCU is charged with the main battery but if it's been sitting it for months may need a boost. If you have a classic TCU, it with a coin cell battery...

My Creo 1 has wheels built with a gravel 32H G540 rim and 350 hub with over 15000 miles. They are still as true as when they were new. My Creo came with oem Roval carbon wheels but I exceed their load rating so I never used them and sold to pay for the new wheels. Not worrying about wheels is...

Duplicate post in this thread. The 2.3 factor was marketing based on the motor. The full power motors are "4x you". The first SL was "1.8x you" etc. The support site has general Turbo section and bicycle specific sections. Generally the common information is in the General Turbo Knowlege...

The 2.3 factor was marketing based on the motor. The full power motors are "4x you". The first SL was "1.8x you" etc. The link still works but it's was assuming the inquiry was from a French region. The support site has general Turbo section and bicycle specific sections. Generally the common...

The only thing I dislike about SRAM brakes is they use DOT 5.1 or 4 brake fluid vs Shimano with mineral oil. The newest SRAM mountain bike brake models are using mineral oil.

We need to start referencing the bike archive link available on the bottom of the Specialized page for some of these vintage models. I am a RTFM person so I always like to leave a reference to the support site.

As we get older having more response with less grip strength is usually a good thing. Any of the better brakes modulate well. I think pads will make more of a difference. I use sintered pad because of my riding parameters but the organic pads usually provide better control. Some of the newer...

Your post links to a Vado SL (2) 6 but you mention it's a 5.0. We used to be able to say I have a Creo or Vado SL and the features were common but now we need to be a little more specific with models. In either case it's possible to relocate the lights. Keep that in mind as you search the...

Electronic shifting becomes a necessity for a lot of riders as hand issues move from being an annoyance to a limitation.

There are mechanical watts/cadence and torque/cadence charts at the bottom of the SL 1.1 motor feature overview page. There is an equivalent SL1.2 page. https://support.specialized.com/kb/sp_en-us/content/ECV3-8425/Specialized-SL-11-Motor-Feature-Overview

The Vado SL 2 has a Mastermind H3 which is their latest version with new features. Not only do you have micro tune, you now get dynamic micro tune. https://support.specialized.com/kb/sp_en-us/content/ECV3-6142/03-Turbo-Vado-SL-2-Turbo-SL-System
