Thank you @e-levity and @Unique for your feedback. I’m traveling for work for a few days, but I’ll keep an eye on this thread for further developments and come around to this. :)

I asked my LBS to contact Specialized to procure the TCD-W kit for my 2019 Como 5.0. Specialized told my LBS that this free revision is only for specific models from 2017 and 2018 that were originally advertised as being compatible with Mission Control. My Como 5.0 was produced last Fall and...

Could someone please upload a photo of the new display after it has been installed, perhaps showing the active screen? Thanks.

What wonderful news, very happy to hear! I am going riding this afternoon but I'm dressed more like I'm going snowboarding! Cheers, Richard, glad you're on the mend and have your new bike to look forward to.

Ridercare emailed me to let me know this revision is available for my new Como 5.0. And I'd been waiting to hear feedback from someone who has had this done and how things work. Any downsides to the fix or is this definitely the way to go? Thanks.

Hi, everyone. Since this particular thread lives in the TREK FORUM, I'll keep this brief, but since I recently got a Como 5.0 I wanted to add that I'm really enjoying it. If you care to visit the Specialized forum here on EBR, you'll find more info there. I do love Trek bikes and I've owned a...

Greetings, all. @indianajo, glad you got your Vario set up. Pretty slick that you have a heads up display! Sorry your earlier questions escaped my attention, I forgot to come back to this thread. Like you, I really like the effectiveness of the flashing rear taillight. It is long lasting on a...

@Alaskan, wow, the severity is worse than I realized. Glad you were evaluated by a doctor. I’ve not met you but I think it is both lucky and a testament to your conditioning that you were not more seriously hurt- that much force could have torn, lacerated, or broken things. Sending healing...

@Alaskan, I join the others: so sorry this happened to you and hope you are back up and moving sooner than you expect. The subject question: what is there to learn from this? Plenty. You described the scenario so clearly I have added a cautionary tale to my memory banks. I have learned from...

Hi, Angela, eBiker, inadianjo, thanks for the kind words and welcome. In the last week I've been on a few more rides with the Garmin Varia system. I've had two or three false positive alerts. These occurred while I was turning a corner and I think it got fooled. Anyway, the alert flashed...

Hello, all. My Specialized Como 5.0 came with an integrated tail light under the saddle but the sight of it is almost completely obscured by a Topeak MTX saddlebag. I tried an inexpensive tail light from Amazon, and I didn't find it particularly visible during the day or reliable. I have had...

Thanks again, DD, for these details. I’ll keep them in mind. Hello, Gator. Guess what, I believe I agree with you. I put 18 miles on my new eBike in 2 days. I’m just getting started back to exercise after having been sidelined with injuries for many months, so at 15 MPH I’m just enjoying being...

Greetings, ebikemom, Mike, and Alaskan, and thanks for the welcome and encouragement. I just received the bike yesterday and I look forward to getting started this weekend. I'll also some photos soon. Happy trails!

Thanks for the feedback, DDBB. I telephoned a bike shop in Victoria, BC, that I'm friendly with and they related that the path I especially enjoy is limited to electric assist not faster than 32 kilometers per hour (just under 20MPH) so it seems this is exactly what they're aiming for. I...

Hello, all. I'm new to eBikes and this forum and I've been reading lots of threads trying to catch up. I'm looking for some feedback. I test drove a Specialized Como 3.0 last week from my LBS. It was a Class 3. I ordered a Como 5.0 (currently the top of this model line) which comes with fenders...

Greetings from Skagit County, north of Seattle. I thank Court and this community for the abundance of helpful and inspiring information. After many months of managing chronic and acute conditions and living near the top of a good size hill, I became deconditioned and my bike rides had become...
