Jeremy, you are lucky not to have bought a Giant e-bike :) Just to say it clearly: Giant e-bikes are marvellous! Extremely well designed, durable on the mechanical side, providing almost the same connection features as Specialized Turbos, and generally less expensive. However, the story of the...

Jeremy, I'm sure your SL is technically sound. The issue here is you trust the Specialized App, which is, well, yet another underbaked smartphone app :) I have never trusted Mission Control and do not trust the Specialized App, especially in the terms of ride recording. However, it is not only...

Now I'm curious myself! :) Besides, what is the colour of your frame? For the record, mine has 'Sep 4th, 2020, Taiwan' and I bought the e-bike nine months later. The overproduction of e-bikes during the pandemics is a well known fact! (That's why it is possible to buy a five grand Vado SL for...

A Wahoo and stop worrying...

My first instinct was to ask whether the Irish Govt even worked but then recollected I was thinking of another part of the Green Island 😉 The one with Derry!

Maybe. The 110 BCD chainrings have a limit of the tooth count on the lower end, not sure what*. The smallest 104 BCD chainring is 32T I think. And yes, I had a 32T 104 BCD installed on my Vado SL of earlier MY. The 104 BCD is MTB. The 110 BCD is Road/CX/Gravel. ----------- *) Garbaruk writes the...

Try a White Russian without vodka :) (I think it happened in a scene of some movie, haha!)

Thank you even more! I was interested how it looked in Ireland but was ashamed to ask (a very complicated history!)

Looks a 2024 design change. No idea why Specialized has changed a good design...

My history knowledge tells me there was no serfdom in Britain (or, at least in England), and a free man could carry weapon. While serfdom was a norm during certain ages on the continent, and only the nobles could carry the arms. It could be the one principal difference. @Rás Cnoic also thank...

I think is is either a rental or a purchase of an e-scooter. E-bike is simply too complicated and heavy for short commutes... in my opinion. One of my friends who is an avid cyclist rides an e-scooter for his commutes of a similar distance.

OK, I have notified @Marquezdl to verify his spider before looking for a chainring! Thank you both!

I am a lover of Imperial Stouts! (Before the latest Ukraine war, that style was named RIS for Russian Imperial Stout. The historical reason is a Russian Tsar loved that strong ale. Now, it is just an IS, Imperial Stout). I have tried many Imperial Stouts. Some from the United States, some...

Five bolt 110 BCD?! Has Specialized changed the spider?! @MartsEbike: how many arms does the spider on your Vado SL have?!

It looks a legit Imperial Stout to me! Barrel Aged, mhmmmm :) What % abv? (ah, 11%!) And it is served in a proper TeKu glass! A good recommendation! @February: the only Guinness beer I can drink is the FES (Foreign Extra Stout) 7.5% abv. The regular one feels too close to water :)

Don't even start me on SQlab Innerbarends! :D A properly mounted Mirrycle, and an innerbarend with an integrated SQLab handlebar grip :)

Could you give the exact model (a link) and price? @Marquezdl is interested in replacing his chainring. Personally, I would recommend @DaDitka no mods until the user gets some experience with riding that e-bike. Installing the mirror is of course a must.

Guys, I've just watched two YT videos. The first one was what the Brits thought of Poles/Poland, and the other was what the Poles thought of Brits/Britain. One Polish woman said: ' Yes, that's what comes to my mind. Trips. The fact that you can walk through someone's field and it's so natural...

For 3 miles each way? :D

Just think it was reportedly too many people to work just several decades ago...
