Yeah. I mentioned it. Just wondering how hard it would be to add onto a Vado SL

This is pretty interesting. I'm not as impressed with future shock on my Vado SL 5.0. For my next bike I'd really like a small front shock like the Rockshox Rudy 40mm. I think the only current bike like this is the Santa Cruz Skitch. Found this thread because I thought about replacing my...

I really have liked my Tufo Thundero 700x44 on my Vado SL 5.0 (non-EQ) They are wearing out. Not sure what to get for next season. Maybe the same or maybe Pathfinder TLR 700x45? Anyone tried them to see if they fit? Anyone got any new add-ons or changes on their bikes for this season...

@Stefan Mikes Is your chainring bracket cracked?

I had my rear brake stick once 2 years ago in the middle of a ride. I ended up removing the rear pads so I could continue my ride. When I got home I cleaned things up, pushed the pistons back in and it hasn't happened since. It does worry me though.

Wait a sec...... Didn't you give me a hard time a few years ago when I put AXS on my SL? You didn't see the benefit? hmmmm... how things change? :)

Wow.. I'm glad I don't have that much to do on my bike. Sounds like you need a new bike soon :) What would you get if you had to?

So, almost bike riding weather here in Colorado (bad ski year). Anything new going on with the Vado SL? Have they updated the app so firmware can be updated? I'm assuming no. Trying to figure out if I need anything new for this year, before I do some tuning.

It looks like you need to run to the bathroom? Contributing more useless information to this topic. I rode for like 15 years with a phone on my handlebars. Dating back to using Endomondo on a Palm, Blackberry and Pebble Watch. Worked well. Not so great on my MTB. Had to rig up different...

In one of the other threads, Alan, posted a link to some info. Found some other good info/specs for the SL. I'm assuming you guys already knew about this, but I didn't. Looks like a lot of it was updated in 2025...

Are you saying the SL2 has remote firmware update? WTH!! The SL used to have that. So the app is capable, they just blocked it on a per bike basis?

Pretty cool...from this angle it looks small? Did you get a discount? :)

You could always get the new S-Racing version. Only 30 lbs and so red!!!

I have a Thule Easyfold XT 2. I usually clamp to the top tube. I don't have fidlock on my Vado SL, but I have it on my Giant Reign e+1 2020. I bought it because there wasn't much room in the triangle for a real water bottle. I still have the mount attached. I have a few different sized...

I know. I was just kidding.
