Perhaps via an app for a fee?

Completely agree with you, I’m sure some manufacturers do it thru an app.

Yes, local bike shop. Good luck. Just for reference I have had my bike since January and this is the first update I have noticed in the app and I will not be making a special trip to the get the update even though it is only 15 minutes away.

Given the version numbers they are probably minor bug fixes. Unless you are having problems you may want to wait until there is some user feed back on the firmware updates or you have to go back to the LBS for something else.

Good luck, it is a tough decision for sure.

Still running the Vado SL stock with the exception of new pedals. It is a little rough but the future shock does help a little. If I was 20 or 30 years younger it would be much easier. The trail is quite chunky, after recent rains it also has a lot of ruts. With the right tires I think the...

I also went through the decision process between the Vado SL and the Powerfly 4. In my case more than 90% of my riding would be on roads and paved and groomed trails specifically my city trail system, which is fairly extensive. The ride from my house to the paved trails include a half mile...

Makes a great deal of sense, thank you very much. The top it is.

I have also been looking at changing the seat post on my Vado SL 5.0. Is there any reason why I should not just drill a small hole in seat post for the power wire?

I purchased my SL 5.0 in mid January after test riding a 4.0 EQ. Your best bet is to check out the Specialized website and look for anything nearby in your size or even a size that kind of works for a test ride. Once you are sure the SL is for you broaden your search and be prepared for a road trip.

That sounds like a fast easy method. The brushed aluminum is strange in that it doesn‘t appear to have a top coat but has a texture. I really am not a fan but got a good deal on the bike,

Thanks, appreciate it.

Haven’t washed my Valdo SL 5.0 since I bought it. Any suggestions on how to take care of the Brushed Aluminum finish would be greatly appreciated.

Here are photos of the rear light on my Vado SL 5.0. Hope they help.

Yes it was the one on Parmer. Austin is a big bike city, I‘m sure it won‘t be long before Specialized gets another retailer.

I live in San Antonio and went to Austin for my purchase.

I actually purchased my Vado SL 5 from that bike shop in Austin the weekend they were closing. Suggest calling the closest shop to you and ask when they can get one for you.

Picked up my new Vado SL 5.0 yesterday and have been having a blast figuring it out and of course riding. Thank you all for all of your posts both positive and negative, they all really helped with my decision. I have found answers to almost all of my questions thanks to you, It”s been 40 years...
