50s! I wish! We've had snow and high temps in the upper 20s and low 30s for over a week now.

Sorry but my brain has been numbed by the crazy cold weather here in the twin cities. Too cold to ride my bike so I end up babbling on internet forums instead. I'll try to show some restraint from here on out in hopes that this thread can climb out of the🐇hole it's fallen into.😉

If ya ain't been ta Brrrrmidji in da winter it gits awful cold up dare dontcha know!

I've put a little over 1000 miles on my Como 3.0 this season and between the Cup saddle and cushy tires I haven't felt the need to invest in a suspension seat post. Granted almost all of those miles were ridden on pavement, however a fair amount of rough stretches here and there. That said I...

Yes it is. I have an XL frame with the seat post at max height. The 30 degree stem keeps the handlebars at a comfortable level.

I'm very pleased with the added comfort this stem has provided. I'm prone to wrist and shoulder soreness while riding and it has helped a lot with minimizing that. Adding Ergon gp2 grips have been a helpful upgrade as well. I wouldn't say that the rebound is dampened but it certainly doesn't...

I had a similar experience with my Como 3.0 once and received an error code on the mission control app telling me that I didn't wait the required 5 seconds before turning on the bike after installing the battery. Turning the power off and back on took care of the issue. Perhaps that is what...

Hi Scott, I put a Redshift stem on my Como and it works great. Much simpler than swapping out the fork. Tedd in the twin cities

@Sierratim you deserve better than this.

I carefully position the battery so that the contact poles are inserted properly then squeeze it into the frame at the top of the battery and listen for one click, squeeze a little harder for a 2nd click and it's in. This was clearly demonstrated for me at the bike shop when I purchased the...

The TCD-W on the Como is attached to a bracket that mounts on the handlebars independent of the stem.

I put a Redshift stem on my Como and it's great, a little extra handlebar height and a smoother ride.

I removed 2 of the spacers in order to have the stem positioned properly on the 1&1/8 inch steerer tube. I installed an old Giant top cap that I had in my parts bin but I have a plain black one on order. I used the original bolt to hold the top cap in place.

Really liking this setup on my Como. Redshift suspension stem (30°upright 100mm), Ergon GP2 grips, and a Hafny 68mm bar end mirror. At first I tried to install a stem riser but there was not enough cable slack to accommodate it. My right wrist and shoulder are much more comfortable after these...

I've been thinking about changing the grips on my Como to something more comfortable. Do the Ergon grips with horns accommodate bar end mirrors?

Soon after purchasing my turbo Como I tried to raise the handlebars using a stem extender along with the stock stem, turned out there wasn't enough cable slack to accommodate this setup. So what I did instead was tilt the bars up a bit and adjusted the grips for proper wrist support which worked...

Hope you guys enjoy the heck out of those new bikes, they're lots of fun.

I bought a 2020 Como 3.0 in April and according to the description on the Specialized website there is no reason to believe that it is not a 2020 model. There is however a sticker on the underside of the top tube stating that it was manufactured in December of 2018. This time lag between...

I also have problems with numbness in my right wrist and shoulder and found the more upright position of my Como 3.0 to be more comfortable than the forward position of the Vado. As mentioned I discovered that adjusting the grips in a way that minimizes the bend of my wrists is quite helpful as...

Hi, Fellow Minnesotan here, bought a Specialized turbo Como 3 a few weeks ago and having a blast with it. Based on the description of what you're looking for I would definitely recommend that you check out the Specialized turbo Vado line. I'm 6'3" and the Como XL frame is a great fit, Vado...
