    Specialized turbo vado SL 4.0 chainring information.

    We are definitely on the same page! I completely agree with all you have said. I was out today in the mountains in strong headwinds. I use the motor as and when needed and just dont look up the assistance level afterwards. Haha!

    Myth BUSTED: "The Chain Drops On My Specialized E-Bike Because The Chainring Is Praxis WAVE"

    I did not know that! It's written nowhere. I was told by LBS that the connecting link had to sit exactly in the middle of that graphic. You see why i was having difficulty now? So good information to anyone who thinks the same.

    Yes I understand that but I think we were talking about the Praxis wave chainring with the location sign on the inside of the ring.

    Myth BUSTED: "The Chain Drops On My Specialized E-Bike Because The Chainring Is Praxis WAVE"

    Definitely agree with you there! Did manage it on the bike stand at home eventually but at the side of the road in the middle of nowhere practically impossible!

    Myth BUSTED: "The Chain Drops On My Specialized E-Bike Because The Chainring Is Praxis WAVE"

    You guys have far more knowledge and experience than me but having been stranded 5 times in 12 months I'm happy to use the narrow wide ring as I've lost confidence in the Praxis.

    New Vado SL 4.0 - harsh ride!

    Thankyou. I had not considered replacing the bars. I presume apart from the weight loss they will flex a little adding to the shock absorbing. Now looking for inner bar ends too.

    New Vado SL 4.0 - harsh ride!

    I guess the best course of action is to experiment and not to just go with what the instructions say. Remembering that the elastomers do take a little while riding to 'bed in'

    This is what the redshift stem looks like inside before the handlebar is fitted. The little cushions are called elastomers and you can pick the density according to your needs.

    Specialized turbo vado SL 4.0 chainring information.

    Just a quick update. 50 miles since the change and no problems at all ! The change from 44 tooth to 38 tooth has transformed the climbing ability of the bike. It feels like the motor has more torque. The downside is less top speed but i dont care about that. The ability to climb is more...
