LBS sorted it - eventually - but it took them an hour plus & then add 2 hours travel ! So much for seamless over the air updates....

👍👍

2 hr round trip & they're closed until tomorrow...... Spec Help said re-loading the fw wouldn't help - but its probably the only way unless I try a full reset....

Just performed the over air update (Vado SL2 6 Carbon) & all went Ok. 3 ticks for Motor 71.1A, Display 18.3.1A & Battery 4.9.3.

Update on the Praxis chainring. On my Spec Vado SL2 6 the chainring is designed so the the chain will only fit one way so there are now no markings - unlike my older Spec Vado SL4. If you align it incorrectly it simply won't seat onto the ring. See pic

I'm living in France. Many thanks to all who've helped.
