    New Como 5.0 Rock Shock fork not working

    If the LBS wants rid of you permanently as you're implying, they played it stupid. If they had ignored you for another week you would have 'sold out'. Instead - they upped the drama with the offer and you're hooked even more. And when you keep repeating that you love a brand that's caused you...

    New : Turbo Vado 5.0 IGH Belt Drive

    The Vado SL is the most fun bike ever made. It's super light for E and powered perfectly. It's like being 20 years old - forever. :)

    Specialized has addressed their problems

    How could you love the brand? You've had nothing but trouble. Or is it something else.

    Creo SL EVO Inner Tube Incorrect Size?

    Yes - I purchase tubes that are in the range of the tire. That said, yours are probably OK. And I say that because if you compare, say a 700x28-32 tubes from two different manufactures, they can look really different from one another in width and they both work for same size tire.

    Vado SL calibration?

    I promise you that your chain at 5000 miles is worn out. Don't ruin your cassette! And, I had a chain break once on another bike and you can nearly lose your crown jewels no matter the top tube height. :)

    Specialized Turbo Vado/Como/Tero/Tero X User Club

    Another symptom of a loose spoke is the wheel will not be true. Typically pretty noticeable. Good find Marcela.

    Vado SL calibration?

    Do you replace your chain? I've found that an older chain can be responsible for clicks and sounds under load that can also be intermittent. I've been getting about 1200 miles on a chain and then it needs replaced.

    Specialized Turbo Vado SL: An Incredible E-Bike (User Club)

    OK - so the pedals that come with the SL4 have a feature that I've never had before. They stay in the last position your foot was in. Seems minor but I like it.

    Specialized Turbo Vado SL: An Incredible E-Bike (User Club)

    Congratulations!! It's an incredible bike as the title of the thread suggests correctly. That said - there are some of us that haven't upgraded a thing and love the SL. Think this way, Specy worked hard on this model with expert bike engineers with plenty of experience contributing to it's...

    My Direct to Consumer experience

    Agree - I've typically ridden medium bikes but on the SL I needed a large for proper riding position. LBS really helped me decide and was very knowledgeable on bike fit. Specialized may have changed - but my business model is going to my LBS and riding before I buy. :)

    Specialized Turbo Vado SL: An Incredible E-Bike (User Club)

    $700 doesn't sound like too much for a carbon fork with suspension. I would consider it for my SL4. I do like the Redshift suspension stem as it would be cheaper but with only a 6 degree rise and 90mm being the shortest option, it would change my relationship to my handlebars and don't want to...

    Torque settings for through axles, Turbo Vado 4 SL?

    I purchased tire liners and so far - no flats. Does add a bit of weight but that's another advantage of having eBike. :)

    Torque settings for through axles, Turbo Vado 4 SL?

    Yeah kahn - I was going to buy it until you told that story. Frustrating. Have you changed a flat since?

    New : Turbo Vado 5.0 IGH Belt Drive

    On my SL the magnet is flush to the assembly. On new it sticks out a bit. Not sure if that matters but being a proximity sensor - might.

    Firmware updates..............again!

    To me - unless it's an upgrade that affects the longevity of the bike or battery or possibly increases performance, I won't update and haven't. I have a '21 SL4 too and it's perfect as is. :)

    2022 Turbo Creo SL Expert EVO

    So your through axle has a handle? Is that what that is? You don't have to use a wrench and I suppose proper torque isn't as important as I thought.

    TCD/Garmin Mount on 2022 Turbo Vado SL

    Looks good and cables aren't blocking the light - good upgrade.
