    My 1st 50 miles on the new Como 5.0

    Thanks Stefan! I agree changing my (or developing a) technique will help with this issue. I was simply chiming-in to say I am having a similar issue and that this was not an issue with my old bike.

    My 1st 50 miles on the new Como 5.0

    I think that is the issue. Can't speak for the Como, but the clearance on my Vado is 3". I am guessing increasing that clearance would decrease the number of strikes. The clearance on my old bike is 4.5", which is a 50% increase in clearance compared to my Vado.

    Wanted to share my experience with Specialized Delivery on my new Vado 5.0 IGH. My transaction did not go as planned. I am in the Midwest USA. As far as I know, there are no dedicated Specialized shops in my area. When I purchased the bike online via the Specialized website, I was given the...
