Yeah. My light bracket just broke on my ride. 😢

Curious why you highly recommend this? I know torque tools are a good idea, but have you crushed a handlebar or broken something?

Already took it apart. Removed the bracket. Decided I didn't like the little hole where the bracket was. Since I had the bracket out, I secured it with some removable glue so it doesn't move around Not sure if it will last, but I'll try it. Put it back together already.

nice :( Argh!!

Does anyone know how to remove the built-in TCD mount in my pic?

I have the 2022 Vado SL that includes a TCD/Garmin Mount. Initially I thought it was great. I'm using it with my Garmin Edge 530. After riding a bunch, I'm not so sure. Do you all use it? If so, any way to tighten it down more? I've found that the connection to the stem is a clip that...

After riding on the Kinekt twice now, I really like it. Doesn't totally eliminate bumps, but definitely a lot better. The bumps that I do hit now, aren't as jarring. I did have to adjust the preload, otherwise I was bouncing a lot when pedaling. I think I'm at a 4 right now. I'm using...

Got the Kinekt post. Didn't have to cut it. Here's a pic.

When you have that much battery/weight, wouldn't it just be better to run the regular vado on a lower assistance level. Isn't the battery 700wh? I can see riding with a range extender, but just wondering if I needed 2-3 range extenders, why not ride an ebike with more assistance/battery? Or...

Disadvantage on Momentum, is that the Smartphone integration on Giant bikes is much worse than Specialized. I have a Giant. Also, Giant support is worse. Components are worse too. But probably a decent bike for the $$.

Before I got my Turbo Vado SL, I was looking at Momentum (Giant sub brand) Voya e+. They make a couple of road bikes (drop bar and flat) for $2400-3200. I'm not sure if anyone sells them in stores, but I think you can order them to be delivered to Giant dealers. Those seem to be the...

So do you feel like you would use Microtune, or stick with the 3 levels?

Analyzing via Strava my first ride with the Turbo Vado SL vs my old Cannondale. I was riding the Vado at 35/100 most of the time. This was an out and back. About 4 miles each direction longer, because I felt better on the vado. Main differences: Turbo Vado is beginning of the summer...

Thanks. I already knew that. I was asking about automatically resetting it after not riding for some time.

I don't suppose there is any way to automatically reset the trip odometer if the bike hasn't been used for x hours? This is for the TCU on the 2022 Vado SL. Forgot to reset it a few times. I'm used to the Garmin trip automatically resetting.

I had something like that happen years ago. Dog ran across in front of my bike. Got caught in my front wheel. Dog flipped around and I went over the front of my bike onto the pavement. We both ended up mostly ok. Dog owner was apologetic. I felt bad for her dog. I'm always leary about...

Thanks for this post. I was thinking I needed to add my new Vado 5.0 SL to my insurance. Checked with my homeowners and Velo. I have 2 bikes.. a 2020 Reign E+1 that is already on my homeowners policy. For homeowners, the total is about $320/year for both bikes. For Veloinsurance the total...

Got this bag to replace my top tube bag, because I didn't want to cover the TCU. Someone else recommended the Burrito bag from Roadrunner. I got the mini from Lead Out instead. Seems to be more waterproof and I liked the design a little better. Has good straps and a cord that I put around...

I bought a Specialized Turbo Vado SL 5.0. Love it so far. Tero was more offroad/heavier than I needed. I looked at it, but didn't test ride.

Interesting..I'll check out microtune on my next ride.
