    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...

    Am I going to be disappointed with the Tero 3.0?

    The Tero 3.0 does not have a dropper seat post. When I bought it in 2022 the 5.0 did have one, not sure about the 4.0. At the time I considered adding one but my pet peeve is needing at least my toes to touch the ground when I am riding on the street. This means that my saddle height is not...

    Am I going to be disappointed with the Tero 3.0?

    I have had the Turbo Tero 3 for about 3 years and absolutely love the bike. For your reference I am 69 and about 175 lbs. When I bought the bike I was 205 lbs. I currently ride a combination of street (65%) and trails (35%). I live in New England and only experience moderate hills. However, I...

    Specialized App

    Can't help with Apple, but on Android, when recording a ride select Settings and select Keep the Screen On. To center the ride select the button shown on the map. Now, try doing that with gloves when it is cold.......... Edit: Sorry, missed the update.........

    Anybody tried Clik tire valves?

    Too funny,..........but wait until you're my age and it may become more important. I still may try a couple of Click valves.........................

    Fender flaps or extenders?

    I used Defender Series fenders on my old Specialized Pitch 650B and my wife's Cannondale F9. To keep mud and sand off the crank we mounted Planet Bike mud guards which are designed to be mounted at the top of the down tube. We mounted them in front of the crank instead. The combo worked...
