    Thank you for the detailed explanation Stefan. Just sat on the bike and the ring ends up at the 40% mark. Oops 😐

    I come in at close to 130 (losing is harder than gaining 😒) so I‘d feel better with more pressure … worried I‘ll damage something if it gets compressed all the way. Max PSI on the rear shock reads 360 on my Tero X

    It‘s been a month and I promised pictures. Sorry nothing spectacular, remembered to snap one with a sport roller on. My work computer fits nicely, plus my lock, a t-shirt, deodorant… Did the work trip once every week now and I‘m still working out the best route. More options than I had with...

    So I‘m now officialy part of this club. Bike (Tero X 5.0 red) arrived yesterday, had to assemble the handlebar setup as it came in a box (just the bell, light, TCD mount and remote plus the light switch, put on my SqLab saddle and Bennies pedals, and charged to 80% (I like that you can set this...

    Vado SL 2 Alloy version released

    Lovely scenery. And a very nice bike indeed. If we had Denmark‘s elevation profile here I‘d have kept my SL 😉

    I will also only commute and do some leisure rides. Will post pics with the panniers attached.

    Thank you very much Stefan! I chose Ortlieb Sport Roller high visibility (neon yellow). Main purpose is getting my Thinkbook and some cables in one bag and „non biking“ clothes in the other, as I hope to use the bike a lot more for commuting than I did with the Vado SL. I hope they are large...

    Pulled the trigger on the Tero X 5.0 in the prettier colour (red), hoping to have it delivered soon. Thank you all for the input which played a substantial role in my decision. Also had to buy a pump for fork + rear shock because I never had one before. For good measure I'm also getting new...

    Vado SL 2 Alloy version released

    Should be back in stock around April 10th, then the dealer needs to have it delivered and do the final assembly. End of April at the latest I hope.

    The 40T was the difference between "I bought the wrong bike" and "I can work with this and still get up the hill towards home". Still would have needed a bit more punch. Selling my SL and getting a Tero X instead, now after three years.

    Vado SL 2 Alloy version released

    Heh. I also put a 40T chainring on mine because hills, nobody ever brought it up (serviced 3 times).

    🥲 thanks but I am a bit heavier, that‘s why I even have second thoughts. I just barely fit into the SL1 weight limit (but that has a carbon fork). Probably best to play it safe and get the Tero X.

    I don‘t really do „trails“ per se. The commute has some rough parts which I wouldn‘t even count as gravel though. Plus potholes etc. The Tero X really felt nice. Plus I haven‘t seen numbers on the Vado SL 2 weight limits, I‘m probably out anyway.

    Got my test ride with the seatpost adjusted and another on the XL. Found out XL is my size not only for the Vado SL but also for the Tero X. Still debating between Tero X and Vado SL 2 (both 5.0), I have a range extender from my Vado SL that would go unused 🫠 Time for another test ride some day.

    Thanks for the insight. I would love a 6.0 but they are quite rare currently and full price everywhere (6.200€ vs the 5.0 which you can get for 4k€). At a 500€ difference I wouldn‘t even blink and take the 6.0 😀 Guy that gave me the test ride knew little about the bike so I might ask to have...
