    2022 Creo Axle Torque

    Yeah, I suspect one isn't supposed to apply that torque to the 5mm hex, but instead remove the lever and apply the torque to the underlying hex head with a socket driver or crowfoot wrench. I prefer the Bontrager Switch thru axle idea where the lever is a 6mm hex key and is held magnetically in...

    Another Turbo Vado Ergonomics Thread

    Couple thoughts… There are hitch racks with ability to addd a ramp so you’re not lifting the bike. Consider a professional bike fitting and talk to the fitter about what you’ve written. Lots cheaper than randomly throwing parts at an issue. If in doubt as to frame size, it’s usually best to...

    2022 Creo Axle Torque

    I've pondered how I’d handle a similar scenario. On my Domane the lever insert is held magnetically so it’s easy to orient its hex key to be able to step on it with my heel to start loosening the axle. It dawned on me the lever is on a hex bolt - allowing similar reorientation. Still...

    Happy wife, Happy Life!

    You ought to try the Shimano M520 or M540 then if you want dual sided SPD. My 520’s on my road bike work as well as my EH500’s. Some of though may be the multidirectional release of the SH56 cleats that come with the EH500’s vs the SH51 cleat...

    Trunk Bag for 2022 Turbo Vado

    That is also a good option if you have other bikes with the QuickTrack system and prefer to standardize on that instead of MIK system

    Trunk Bag for 2022 Turbo Vado

    @Xantari yes, if you wish to use an MTX bag on a MIK rack you need to either add an MTX receiver to the rack (which I think would be ugly) or replace the MTX piece on the bag with a MIK plate. I don't have pictures of this because I chose to buy an MTS bag instead of irreversibly modifying my...

    Creo Road Remotes

    Same here, not sure I’ll much need or use the extender but with the current sale I couldn’t help but pick one up. I'm told the carbon models don't have the remotes preinstalled, but they do come with them included. I suppose it makes sense to have the shop do the install since location is a...

    Buying/Configuring a Vado

    FWIW I have a Vado 4.0 that I bought used for $2000 less than the Vado 5.0 which I’d planned to buy and frankly find the 4.0 gives more power than I need. Remember torque and power are related but different, power is the thing to focus on as well as magnification of rider input. I’d see if...

    Arghhhhh! My New Bike😡😡

    My 2022 Vado display and mount are garmin quarter-turn compatible - I've tested with my Edge 830 and another Garmin mount.

    Arghhhhh! My New Bike😡😡

    Okay, guess ya can't believe everything you read on the internet. :p I've edited my prior post. Li-polymer is a rechargeable battery type - its use in the TCD-w suggests it serves to hold data in the TCD when the main battery is removed for a while, and presumably is charged from the main...

    Vado (SL), Gazelle, Oh My..

    @harr forgive me for not reading all the details of every post, but I did skim and noticed your mention of having a Carbon road bike. if you are someone who likes data - uses a Garmin or wahoo or something - and wants data from your e-bike such as rider power input and cadence and such, verify...

    Question on 'dropped chain'?

    Spitballing here, but it might be worth comparing number of links in your chain to others, just to rule out the possibility of an extra couple links.

    Also perhaps you could attach an adhesive male Garmin mount to the broken one? https://www.amazon.com/Portsys-Bracket-Adapte-Garmin-Computer/dp/B077D6QVSL/
