Hi, Its a Creo 2 Comp Carbon that I am looking at, so does that change any of your suggestions ? Also is it correct that the Creo 2 Comp uses DOT brake fluid rather than Mineral Oil and does this mean changing levers, lines and calipers ?

Not yet purchased, so a bit premature !!! I just want to be clear about what I am taking on before making a decision.

Sorry to have created any friction with my original post. I was just hoping for some technical support on the potential conversion. Like others I would just like a bike that is suited to me, and if that means going away from the original design concepts then so be it. If anyone does have any...

Hi, would you be able to share a few more details and specs, particularly around AXS shift pod ? Also I assume the F1/F2 bips and dropper are shifter related - again would you have some more detail on exactly what you did and what parts are needed ? Thanks

Thanks for all the responses - very much appreciated. Ideally I would like to move up to a Vado SL 2 carbon but I totally dislike the styling. I think Specialized ruined a really good design when then went from Vado SL 1 to 2. Having the Seat Stay half way down the Top Tube looks like a gimmick...

Looking at getting a Creo 2 but then undertaking Flat Bar conversion. Anyone able to advise on the relevant Part Nos for the Vado SL Flat Bar, Grips, Levers ? Also is the fact that Creo has electronic gear change mean that this isn't feasible or is there a solution ? Also any other tips or...

Just bought a "new" RE battery from my local Specialized Concept store. When I got home I realised the packaging said Production Date 16 Jan 2023 ? Thats nearly two and a half years old. I am planning on returning it. Any views ?

I would like to just add some more 'give' to the front (not rear) of my Vado SL 4.0. Are there any after market solutions similar to the seat post solution or is it a new set of front forks (which I think will spoil the bike) ?

Thanks - thats a really good start.

I'm interested in seeing a table comparing weight and ranges for SL 4.0 EQ, SL2 4.0 EQ (alloy), SL2 6.0 EQ Carbon and the Trek FX+7. Has anyone seen anything or have any links ?

Specialized Concept Store told me today that Vado SL2 with Aluminum Frame is due out in the Summer. Not sure how reliable this source is but that is what I was told....

No, its not waterproof but happy with its location, etc. I could have bought a waterproof version but they are slightly larger, so wouldn't have fitted as neatly into the existing bracket. Re the tails, there is a short length of 4 core micro cable (two front/two rear as the front and rear...

Simple two pole switch for 99p off eBay and some spade connectors. All sorted and no cutting wires so can restored to stock within five minutes if needed...

Anyone have rusty rotors ? Bit surprised after only 7 months use whereas my Scott rotors are still good after 4 years and similar use ??
