    No excuses, I'm working on the route already. And if I can dig out my old tent you could have it and come by bike - it's just a few 100milers for you 😁

    So you've read that you're even obliged to use bike-lanes (which are 1a in DK) with a S-ped in DK.

    Not quite. My dansk is a bit rusty but you don't need a driving licence in Danmark for S-pedelecs if you are 18+ years old, and you are allowed to use bike lanes. See (as a frequent DK-visitor you might be able to read dansk ;))...

    Cannot believe the price increase

    Different tariff rates play a role. And the US tariff rates seem to have been shuffled over and over again - some Casino owner obviously liked playing dice. Game over - rien de va plus.

    Kannitverstan. I just took your numbers in #95, didn't look myself. My garages are full. 😉

    Cannot believe the price increase

    VAT in Germany on bikes is 19%. So is it 9.000 + 8,5% sales tax = 9.765 compared to 10.155 in USD? And 10.155 / 1,19 = 8.534 vs 9.000 before tax?

    42t versus 48t Vado 3.0

    Your LBS should be able to order the 48T bashguard. Specialized part No. is S179900050

    Which chain is on the Vado 5.0?

    Your chainring ist mounted correctly, don't worry. Just compare it with the pictures I had linked in #79.

    So you are insisting still we're all wrong? Read #626 - #635 of https://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/specialized-turbo-vado-como-user-club.31893/post-279761 and make up your mind again. Please explain how these pictures could be taken if the teeth icon would have been on the outer side...

    Which chain is on the Vado 5.0?

    Sadly, Specialized changed a logical placement (inner side), as I said before in #66. As you've said: "where is the logic to place a icon on an invisible side?" Good ol Specialized again :rolleyes: Attached is a picture of the inner side of my Vado's Praxis chainring. The outer side had no...

    Which chain is on the Vado 5.0?

    I do not deny that. Now that would be a question you could ask "Zach" at Specialized help desk. :) P.S.: The "invisible side" of the Vado chainring is the outer side as it is covered by a bashguard. So it is logical that Specialized placed the teeth icon on the inner side of the chainring...

    I think your memory is playing tricks on you right now. 🙏 You're telling me all of us (me, @Sierratim, @Nxkharra, @Marcela, @PaD) "did it wrong". My memory led me back to your Club thread, #626 - #635. Just about everybody of us stated: "found the teeth icon on the inner side of the chainring".

    Which chain is on the Vado 5.0?

    Taking a closer look at your pic it shows normal wear on your Wave Tech chainring of your Trance (which I've marked with the "rings"). And that your Trance seems to have a upper chain guide at the top which is according to the recommendation for MTB use of Wave Tech chainring, thats fine. Did...

    Which chain is on the Vado 5.0?

    Correct in what? I don't think we differ. As I said: "Not so sure about the Praxis Wave Tech chainring. ... All actual Praxis chainring pictures show the icon on the outside of the chainring, but Vado MY 2018-2020 chainring had the icon on the inner side. ... The Praxis Vado chainring has...

    Which chain is on the Vado 5.0?

    No. It is relevant for all threaded Praxis 104BCD chainrings but of the Praxis chainrings listed in my pic only the 30T is threaded. If not threaded you're using the two-piece-bolting but then it's different..

    Which chain is on the Vado 5.0?

    I'm sure the Deckas narrow-wide chainring isn't directional. And if you could provide the RAL code I could look for some matching red Revell paint to your red Deckas chainrings so you could cover your crank arm scratches in matching red. 😇 Not so sure about the Praxis Wave Tech chainring...
