I experienced the same problem this spring.
I kept the battery indoors over the winter, then charged it fully and installed it on the bike.
Bike display and system would not start up. No change when I plugged the bike in.
I asked my LBS (Specialized dealer) whether there was any kind of internal...
@twy Thanks for your note.
I checked the Portland Design Works website and they have quite a wide variety of kickstands: https://ridepdw.com/collections/kickstands-storage-tools
I would be grateful if you could share which version you got for the Como. I know they are different bikes but it...
@Stefan Mikes
That’s interesting! I don’t see any way to adjust it and Googling has not identified how.
I would be very grateful if you could elaborate.
Happened across this thread while starting another one, and thought I would answer my own question from last year in case other folks seek this information.
I purchased this Burley thru-axle for use with Vado 5 and the Bark Ranger trailer: 12X1.0 (158-174MM).
With that installed, all you need to...
While the kickstand that came on my Vado is sturdy, the bike always wants to fall over despite its implementation. All it takes is a tiny turn of the handlebars, such as due to gravity, and a bike that costs as much as a car crashes heavily to the ground. The first time this happened I assumed I...
Thanks - I saw that. I was assuming the OEM product may be optimal, but I’ve seen plenty of favorable reviews for this product so no doubt they are functionally interchangeable.
I already own the Kuat Pivot v2 - just trying to figure out why it should be incompatible with the EasyFold XT. Figured there would be quite a few EasyFold owners on this board, and some of them may use it with a swing adapter.
For sure a consideration, but the devices have specific stated weight limits that should take this into account. Likewise a rule of thumb is to reduce your vehicle's hitch capacity (tongue weight) by 50% when you use such adapters.
Yes, we are aware that the rack drops down, but the swingaway makes it much easier to get bikes out of the way when getting dogs and their supplies in and out of the car. I cannot afford to have one injured, or myself when wrangling them! I think I’ll have to simply purchase the rack someplace...
Bump. I have a Kuat Pivot V2 and am interested in the Thule EasyFold XT rack. I was told by eTrailer that the 2 cannot be used together, so would love to get more ideas on this.
@GuruUno
Thanks for responding!
Is yours a 5755L or the different 4750X? I think I saw a post from you indicating the latter.
The 5755L looks a bit less clunky than the 4750X but not sure I want to bother with removing the wheel to install it, if tha5 is needed.
If yours is the 4750X, does it...

If you are just returning to riding after the neck problem I would pause on losing $$ to buy a more forward position. I have had a bad neck since my early 30s and the forward/road position is a killer.
At the very least ride your regular gravel bike for a few months to see where you are at...
