    More Praxis Chain Drop Questions

    It could be that one or all of the small bolts on the chainring are lose or tightened but one or all are out of torque spec. I put a new chain ring on a different bike . Along with new chain and rear mech. Tighten it all but could not get the chain to stay on thru all the gears . So I called a...

    I pretty much ride the E-bike alone . That's why we got one for my wife . Group rides I use a regular non electric like everyone else . That bike is a Trek Hybrid that I put gravel tires on . Started with Byways and switched recently to WTB. I think it's called a resolve or something like that ...

    I'm not going to worry about it . I can do 30 presets . So if I want more or less assist . I can stop for 30 seconds and change it . Depending on where I am riding . Bike paths are nice and smooth . Country roads as I am sure you have experience are somewhat harder against rolling resistance ...

    Just a side note. I set My Vado 4 Eco at 5% and 35% . It worked good taking off but once I reached around 16 mph it was all me . So I changed it today to 100% factory default using the same 5%. I was able to get a good workout and still have extra support to 21 MPH and on hills . I went 23 miles...

    THANKS . I have that app already and have used it to try eco in 5% on up . As well as play with the other end . 5% in eco seems to negate the excess bike weight . I used it last night to ride 10 miles . There were spots in the ride where it seemed I had no assistance at all . I had the total...

    Any info on 2023 Models , 4.0/5.0 Vado's &SL 's ?

    I think most companies release for the next model year is July . Don't quote me on that . But My Trek was purchased in early august 2017 and is 2018 model . My Vado 4 purchased in Sept 2019 . Had just arrived 2 weeks earlier and is a 2020 model . I also think it varies by models . I know Trek...

    This probably sounds dumb . Where do you find info on these things ? I see how I can use Mission control on my phone . Change my setting in each mode using the tune feature . Then save those presents by a specified name . With the ability to pick a preset from the phone before riding . However...

    With technology being what it is . It probably won't be to long before they figure out a way to lockup the drive train or wheel using software .

    Question : Is the Vado's upgrade 2022 display something that can be used on the 2020? Also I noticed on Mission control my firmware isn't the latest one . How big of a deal is that ? I have no interest in knowing heart rates or BP or whatever vitals are offered . I am interested in the tuning...

    Thanks for a more detailed explanation . I'd also read an article that Companies that use LBS exclusively . Are concerned with quality companies like YT selling consumer direct. Again thanks for the explanation

    It's my wife and not yet we both are sadly still working . We are both old enough to retire . I actually had . Unfortunately many people in America have turned into free hand-out bums . We were both compensated for working past retirement . But this is our last year regardless of how much they...

    America is no longer getting anything from China : I know My specialized frames come from Taiwan . Which doesn't currently look to promising either . I'm not one that always has to have the latest and greatest . I did my research and test rides . Bought Specialized because he scored the best...

    Defects ?? Ouch > I only have 317 miles on my 2020 Vado . I mainly ride a regular bike and bought the Vado to go on long trips . Which hasn't worked out as I lost 2 riding buds during Covid lockdowns . On a brighter note are you saying I should trade in or sell my 2020 and get the Newest Vado ...
