    2020 : Our Rides in Words, Photos & Videos

    I have an iPhone 8 but I guess your ios and phone is pretty much the same. In camera mode you can tap on the screen to tell the camera where to focus and expose. When you tap you will see a yellow square and possibly a ”sun” . Put yor finger on the sun and then swipe slowly up or down and you...

    2020 : Our Rides in Words, Photos & Videos

    The free access law ( Allemansrätten) is still valid. You are supposed to respect peoples privacy, not allowed to e.g. camp on somebody’s lawn😄 The areas I passed or were near on my ride were like courtyards. If it’s e.g a courtyard near a stable or a machine house for farming I guess they can...

    2020 : Our Rides in Words, Photos & Videos

    Saturday at 14.45 I managed to convince myself to get out and ride. It was a lovely autumn afternoon. First picture is at the lake at 20km and second a few km later. I knew by looking at the map that at about 24km the gravel road would end and there was a path for about 1.5km but I wanted...

    Specialized Turbo Vado/Como/Tero/Tero X User Club

    Perhaps a suspension stem could provide some comfort? https://redshiftsports.com/products/shockstop-suspension-stem I rode a Specialized Creo Carbon Comp Evo with a Future Shock 2.0 stem for a day. Didn’t do any ”offroad” but the short suspension travel smoothed the ride. For all Vados the...

    Specialized Turbo Vado/Como/Tero/Tero X User Club

    1.2E is a Brose Drive C (perhaps with Specialized tuning) and the Brose C, S and T seems to be basically the same. https://www.brose-ebike.com/de-en/products/ When the S ( called 1.3 at Specialized) was introduced I think I read that some components were changed vs older T to make the S version...

    But your motor supports cuts out at around 16mph and still you avarage 17mph over 40 miles. Pretty good in my world:D

    No problem to get some workout. Just install the Mission Control app on your smartphone and lower the support and peak power setting in Eco Mode.

    VAdo or Como Suspension Seat post and Handlebar Stem

    I don’t know why a Kinekt should be better than other suspension posts on e-bikes. I like my Redshift a lot but it’s the only suspension post I’ve tried and to be honest I don’t exactly remember why I decided to get the Redshift:rolleyes: Edit I was probably influenced by Juliet Elliott as I...

    VAdo or Como Suspension Seat post and Handlebar Stem

    You need a seatpost shim. The Redshift ShockStop suspension seatpost is 27.2mm and the Vado has a 30.9mm seat post so an insert 27.2 - 30.9 is needed. I bought a Cane Creek shim together with my Redshift suspension sestpost. Use this on my Vado 5. Works fine. Cost about $10.

    Sold my motorcycle. Waiting for my ebike to arrive

    Motorcycle riding is fun but I realised I am more of a pedal cyclist than a motorcyclist so I sold my little Versys X 300. Did not miss it during my two first years as an e-biker. This year however due to the pandemic I miss the possibility to go for longer rides into the countryside. I need to...

    The newer ones look very good but I still like the late 70’s early 80’s Ferrari designs. :)

    Sold my motorcycle. Waiting for my ebike to arrive

    I rode a motorcycle summer 2017. Sold it mid June 2018 and bought an e-bike. I forgot I was now on an e-bike so I kept waving friendly to motorcycle riders:D

    I’ve seen a couple of newer Ferraris lately. A 488 spotted 10 days ago on a bike ride where I went to a small marina in Stockholm. Last night I took a walk in the neighbourhood and stumbled upon this Portofino. My cell phone camera and low light is not the best.

    Which suspension post for a comfort upright bike

    I have the same seatpost and saddle combo on my Vado 5.0 and I’m really satisfied with the Shockstop’s ride. I weigh just over 60kg (135lb) + clothing and set the post to 65kg. The Cambium saddle has a good shape and I like it ( I don’t wear padded pants) but I’m not sure if will be ok for me...

    Short afternoon ride, c:a 25km. Passed Tekniska museet. (technical museum in English) The chopper on a stick has probably been there for many years but I really haven’t paid attention to it. This helicopter model has not been used by Swedish police since beginng of this century.
