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

    I've tried tons of settings. For me... I use Eco 35/35 when I'm trying to conserve power and am going on a longer ride where I'm not sure if I'll have enough battery. I really want to use sport as the mode I'm using when I'm just riding and not thinking about things and I know I have plenty...

    Dropper seat-posts, cartridges...

    Ordered a oneup V2 150mm. 30.9. for $180. Giant service kit was on backorder. Didn't want wait until never for Giant to have the service kit in stock. Plus hopefully this is better than stock.

    Dropper seat-posts, cartridges...

    Just saw this. I have a Giant Reign e+1 with a contact switch dropper about 5 years old. Going to try getting the Giant dropper service kit. Doesn't seem very easy to get. Next choice would be a new dropper. One up is on my list. V2 or v3. Would you still go one up all over again?

    I'm not telling you my weight. It's gross 😃

    I have this for now from 2 days ago. I started at approximately 6400 ft elevation. This was a pretty flat ride though. Of course this is battery % from Garmin which is only the main (I know this now!) , but it's similar because the SL does try and drain both batteries at a similar rate.

    Yes but ... I'm going to a beer festival and having some friends over next week. So let's just say.... It may be a bit. I could definitely tell you the amount of beer/hour though 😃

    I'm in Gypsum, CO. Near Beaver Creek ski resort. I had a Cannondale Quick Carbon 2 flat bar road bike when I moved here from the Denver area. It was fine for about 15 miles or so, but I'm in a valley with hills all around. I have nerve damage in my left leg from a lower back fusion about...

    I tried 60/60, but I really need 60/100 to keep going 80 rpm cadence on the hills here in CO mountains.

    Wahoo Roam 3 (Is A Lemon)

    I had to read about why you are returning it. So is there any current generation biking computer which is perfect or almost for the SL with range extender? I submitted a few enhancement requests to Garmin but likely never happening.

    Why did you return the roam 3? Also, you can switch to a 12 speed😃

    One of the best upgrades on did on my bike was Sram AXS. Love how smooth it is. I'm sure you won't go electronic because you are the opposite of me 😜 Coincidentally I met a guy on the trail today with DI2 and his battery was dead 😃

    In case anyone was wondering, I updated my display and motor on my SL 5.0 at my LBS today. Not sure what, if anything, it fixed. Last update I did was over a year ago when there was an update to allow 80% charge. The tech did have to do some kind of motor calibration procedure with the...

    Here is an interesting thing for me that I discovered using the SL bike. Not sure if other people have experienced this or not. I mostly ride to increase my heart rate and get cardio while I was riding. I figured that riding in ECO mode 30/30 would be best because it's more of my own...

    Yeah. You can only import one at a time. I had to do that when I had a watch that wasn't uploading.
