These are links to the Amazon Canada website, so your usage may vary: SQLab Barends: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0722JN6X8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 These seem ridiculously expensive on Amazon Canada now, so you may be able to find them cheaper elsewhere. Many LBS sell...

Good discussion about bike vibration and bike/rider performance on the Cade Media podcast on YouTube. (28:35 start).

I'm a fan. I've had them on a few of my gravel/city bikes and love the ability to get another hand position with straight bars. Good on long rides. There are cheaper off-brand ones available, but I have some other SQLabs stuff and am happy with it.

Yes. It is one of these => https://granite-design.com/products/cricket-bell Works with a normal bell striker, but also operates as a passive 'cowbell' for trail riding.

Hi Pete, Your setup looks pretty similar to mine (below). Which bars did you go with?

No, there were no 5.0's available when I got my 4.0, so I have nothing to compare it to. I think carbon bars make a much better ride than the stock aluminum ones. I run carbon SQLab risers on my mountain bike and swear by them, but they are not cheap. I chose a cheaper carbon bar on my 4.0, but...

I've had multiple surgeries on my neck and shoulders, and shaky rides are a killer for me. I've had other gravel bikes and always bring my Redshift stem from bike to bike. I found the stock 4 SL to be an extremely stiff ride and, for me, painful. But I moved my Redshoft stem and my SQL inner bar...

I've had multiple surgeries on my neck and shoulders so being able to move my arm/hand position is important. Also, the reason for the Redshift stem. Both really help in any semi-long rides.

I've had my Turbo Vado SL 4 for a week and already put 120km on it. I love it. I also have a Voya E+1, which was my first ebike. I liked it, but the battery life wasn't good enough for me, so I found the Vado on sale and pulled the trigger. I've been impressed with the motor and the battery so...

Thanks, but that doesn't look like the same thing as she has on her bike. The light might be the same, but the mounting options are not the same. The mount is attached to the rack - it can't be removef. The light can be removed but there is no place to mount it.

My wife just got a Turbo Como SL with the EQ package, and she wants to take the front rack and basket off for now. I haven't removed it yet to look, but it seems like the front light is mounted to the rack, and I'm not sure where or how to move the light. Has anyone done this? If so, any...
