As a kid, I rode bikes without shocks - nothing on the fork or seat. My SL is just like those bikes. I feel every bump and dip. And love it!

True - wheels were expensive with the Onyx hubs. My SL though kind of replaces my C'Dale Synapse that I converted to flat bar and it had a silent Shimano rear hub that I got used to. And since I ride my flat bars on multi-use trails around the area it requires coasting a bit when there are...

I went to ROL Wheels and my order: ROL Range Carbon with Onyx Vesper hubs 12x148 / 12x110 spacing - Shimano HG Freehub - Built with Race Spokes and Brass Nipples x1

I'm not a fan of the hub click and bought a wheel with an Onyx Vesper rear hub - perfectly silent for my SL.

Hey MJ It's just a typical tire removal tool. I think any brand with a bit of an angle would work but in this case it's a Park lever. And - obviously my chain is back on so it's a bit difficult to show you exactly how I got the chain out but just put the lever between frame and ring and apply...

Thanks Cal - I'll check it out.

So the other day I was pretty far into a ride on my SL4 when I got a call and had to get back fast. I don't typically use Turbo but switched it on and put as much of my own power to the pedals. Well, after a couple miles of about 600w combined Blevo announced my motor hit 150F (65c). Ambient...

Got caught out in heavy rain storm and no issues.

How many watts did you usually contribute to the ride if you don't mind saying. Oh - and you didn't have 80% charge firmware during this time - right? Nice mileage btw - really incredible to me.

Given you road in turbo and the amount of miles you must have charged a lot. What was your main battery condition at 13,500?

Good thread. I have to say I'm amazed they can make a better motor than my 1.1 for SL4. It's got almost 6k miles on it, never given me an issue and requires zero maintenance. I'd be interested to look inside one after this many miles to see if there is any wear. Would also like to see...

Quieter and more efficiency is good but I don't want more power. I like my SL at 35nm.

OK - got it out. I got some plastic tweezers from Amazon but they can't reach in far enough to get a grip. I used a jewelers screw drive (yes - practially the size of a big needle) and stuck it down the side of the battery and gently 'rolled' it out. The little metal pin in front of the...

I've ordered my plastic tweezers. Your post makes me a bit nervous but going for it.

Check your chain wear.

I just never had it happen to me on any LCD screen (only CRT). I understand it's not just Blevo. But, phones are pricey and thought I might help someone.

Just wanted to say that Blevo has 'burned' my phone screen. If I have a white background on my phone (Samsung 20) there's a slight image of Blevo while the app is not running. Just FYI. I love the app and it's always on when I'm riding but typically I turn off the screen and just check Blevo...

'More SAFE is not necessarily better than less SAFE which was already SAFE'. :) So if given the choice Kahn - you'd choose less safe? Anyway, I agree there are degrees of safety. Just playing devils advocate. Any lawyer would have a field day on a case where a rider was injured by an RE...

So my RE is unsafe? I haven't updated. Seems hard to believe that an update making something more safe wouldn't be addressed by a recall type event by Specialized.

You need 120 chain links for the 44T chainring and 42T cassette for Vado SL
