I think I may have been somehow on some other country website, because now the numbers are the same as they were before. confusing...sorry folks.

I got an email add from specialized this morning.

My use case when I am traveling is similar but not exact to the original inquiry. I have a 2wd van (not a jeep) and want to use the bike to extend my reach onto rough roads and enjoy places where I can't go with the van or can't reach in enough time on foot. But I won't be bouncing on 4wd...

Sounds like you found the right bike for you. If I didn't live somewhere with extreme hills, I would have been happier with a smaller torque than my Tero 6.0. When looking at emergency devices, also consider that they don't work great in dense tree cover. Exactly what the parameters are I...

Five weeks in I went on a real bike ride. :) Did 12 miles with 1,072 elevation gain. I did only a few feet of dirt, I'll let that come in time... And the trail was quite busy as it is a weekend.

I guess my question then is where do you buy a flat platform that will fit and how do you install it?

That's exactly the kind of rack I want. Specialized says I can't put a Vado rack on it because of the Full Suspension. That's a Topeak standard rack? What model? Can you explain a little more about the adapter?

Well it's 4 1/2 weeks later and I can happily say all the pain and weirdness is gone. :) I'm ready to get back on the bike within the next few days. Thanks for all the help!

Well it's been 3 weeks since the fall and my side still bugs me but I can at least move around and do most of everything. Not being mobile is a challenge. I did take the bike out for a 1/2 mile ride so I wouldn't be afraid to get back on it. I went on a hike with a friend to the spot I fell...

Newbie here didn't realize these were options. I like the idea of elbow pads in particular.

Very helpful as always Stefan! Interesting way to 'fall' then, going slow enough so you can brace the fall with a foot.

Just a helmet. Is there anything else I should be wearing? I do have some old rollerblading elbow, knees and wrist pads. But in this fall although I got some dirt rash on the skin, my general core/right hand side is just achy. I don't think anything protective other than say a giant pillow...

Wow only 1/8 of an inch causing a wheel to be trapped! Astounding. I really did not know these ruts were so problematic.

I don't ride in the rain either, and the front fender on my Tero also bent quickly when taking the front wheel off for transport in my car. I have removed the front fender which is super easy. The back fender I'll keep on until it bugs me. These bikes are really fabulous. I almost bought a...

Super helpful. Since this is all new to me I have been very focused when riding my Tero. I'm trying to figure out so many things that I don't really drift off. That is great advice for anytime not on a paved road. I do have some old knee and elbow guards from rollerblading. I think I am...

I have been dropping the seat going downhill, but hadn't thought of using it in difficult terrain. I'm not sure I understand exactly what you are saying here. Brake a little and put more weight on your feet? I remember knowing that I was falling but I can't imagine in that brief second doing...

I didn't realize soft sand had that affect. The bike is a dream.

So helpful Stefan. I'm very impressed you were back up there so soon. I did not know that rutted roads were so dicey. We don't really have them around here so I didn't think all that much thought other than that I was a bit confused. I do always wear a helmet. Only the little sun thing was...

Wow. That's quite a fall. Glad your still riding.

Glad you healed on your own. I probably should have turned around when I saw the ruts.
