    Turbo Vado 3

    The rear extension on my front fender does get caught frequently when on trails but has yet to break (disclosure - I do not ride real trails often). The most annoying thing about the fenders is how easily they pick up gravel.....but I would rather be dry.

    Turbo Vado 3

    When Specialized originally came out with those fenders they made a big deal of that front piece having channels to help direct the water away better. They are on both our Tero and Como fenders (bought in 2022).

    Turbo Vado 3

    The front rack is an MIK compatible rack and mounts the same as on my wife's Como. The headlight is removable from the rack. They have the manual posted on the site and it looks like light can be in the stem, on the fender, or on the rack. I am curious how the digital lock on the rear wheel...

    Garmin RearVue 820 Radar Light impressions

    I use an RTL515 which I display on my Specialized Tero TCD. I occassionally get an error but it goes away on its own with out any intervention on my part. I never knew what caused it so this was very useful information to me as I am assuming it is the interference mentioned. Does anyone have...

    Riders and lawmakers must understand the actual regulations and intent....

    Which I had seen this earlier. Public hearing was/is scheduled for today but Concord, NH is a little far. I really thought NH was one of the safe spaces for common sense.

    What happened to good manners

    I guess I would argue that the whole purpose of a product/activity and/or hobby related forum is to get and give advice/help to people with similar interests.

    Charger timer?

    Maybe totally useless info but the Specialized app lets you set the charge to 80%. Every 10 times it charges to 100%. Initially I thought the selection of an 80% limit was kind of arbitrary, but my new Samsung Galaxy Ultra also has the ability to limit the charge to 80%. Not sure why they think...

    help identifying Bike Seat and Seatpost Clamp

    It looks similar to a standard 7/8" clamp but where it attaches looks like it is not the normal seat rail but a bar instead and requires the 2 outside plates to be different (1 plate and one washer). I showed to the LBS and he kind of laughed. I noticed the VELO SD Saddle on Amazon has a similar...

    I don't know the proper name??

    Conventional and inverted. On inverted forks, the stanchion (tube) is on the bottom. Not sure if this is correct "bicycle" terminology.

    Quad Lock for Turbo Como

    I have not used the Quadlock per se but I used something with very similar mounting to the Quadlock Stem Mount which uses bands to attach my wife's phone to her Como handlebars near the top and it seems to be very secure.

    Specialized App stops tracking if I pause ride and check a different app

    On an Android Ver 10 and Turbo Tero. When I pause a ride (STOP button) I need to hit RESUME to start recording again which I sometimes forget to do with other apps open. If I shut the bike off for short time the ride will both stop and resume automatically provided I never hit the STOP button...

    2022 Vado 4.0 TCD2 MasterMind Color Display Glass Separating

    Curious if there has been any more activity related to this issue. In 2024 I noticed the TCD screen was delaminating (only in the corner and still functioning). I had the LBS look at it and they submitted the issue to Specialized. Unfortunately I brought it in just after the 2 year warranty and...

    Disappointed.

    It is hard to tell from the picture but does not look like it would accept an MIK accessory. You can turn any rack into an MIK rack with one of these adapters from Amazon.

    Rear view mirror - bar end

    I use the Mirrycle down and in and view under the arm. Having it outboard it a little too wide (trails and street). The problem with the Hafny is that in that position it crowds my fingers under the grip. Having broken a couple Mirrycle mirrors, the stainless reflector would be nice.

    The likely incoming 750w limit

    Unfortunately enforcing a speed limit can only yield limited success. Hence politicians/administrators will opt eventually for limiting the available speed capability or power of bikes or even more bans. My son's college just decided that next year no electrics will be allowed on campus. He only...
