    Extend battery software upgrade query.

    This is interesting, when I switched on mission control today it stated all my software was up to date! Latest software for range extender battery is now listed as 2,3.10! This is inexplicable unless Specialised read this thread and updated their systems! I‘m glad I didn’t rush off to the bike...

    Extend battery software upgrade query.

    Finally, over the air update for Turbos (including CREO), but with a caveat

    Springs in future shock on turbo Vado SL 5.0

    My apologies Stefan, I found that the bevelled bolt actually has a 5mmm Allen key fitting in the centre, so I didn’t want to waste peoples time. I changed the post to the other question I had.

    Springs in future shock on turbo Vado SL 5.0

    Hi, is it possible to tell whether a spring is installed into the future shock without actually looking inside? The reason I ask this is that my bike, which I bought by mail order, came with three springs in the spares box and I’ve seen from some of the posts on here that people have received...

    Specialised turbo Vado SL 5.0 EQ my impressions after four rides

    Thanks Stefan, yes I have the 5.0. Yes you are right the rims supplied with the bike, DT Swiss R500 can be converted in the manner that you have outlined. I looked at the video on the DTS website and they show it being done. You have also outlined the benefits of going tubeless and I’m going to...
