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.

A local distillery near me had some 190 proof alcohol. I use that to clean my brakes. Bonus....if I get some crazy friends over, they can try a taste. So much burn!:)

I had a piston on one of my rear brakes that wasn't fully retracting. On one ride, I remove the brake pads because it happened during a ride and I was annoyed. Ended up removing it all, cleaning/lubing the pistons and resetting them back in position. Something to think about, because it...

It would be nice if you could save custom settings to try different things..... ;)

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...
