That would be the way I'd have to go. With a dramatic riser and bars. And the geometry's a little tighter, so that would take some getting used to, coming from my Como 3.0. But I think it's the only way forward. It'd be great if Vado did an internal hub/carbon belt option.

The original Como all have the up/down power buttons, which work great. I couldn't believe they left that off the new Como, which works exactly as you describe - one way cycling through. Pretty cumbersome. I'll bet your happy with the up/down buttons now on your Creo.

I did demo ride a Como SL (same handlebar design as the 2022 Como) in two sized frames and neither worked for me due to the handlebars. It's WHY I wrote to Specialized to find out how I can correct their shortsightedness. And you read the reply. The other thing about the new Como SL is that they...

For me, with an M/L Como 3, I needed to raise the bars 160mm. My wife needed bars raised on her Giant La Free. Both of us are over 60, have mild arthritis, some lower back issues. What Specialized has done is prioritized form over function with their new Como design. The stock setup has the bars...

The One-Up has a soft roller option for the fenders. It sits over the Fender and still provides plenty of lockdown for that wheel. We have two e-bikes with Fenders and they both work well with the optional soft rollers. PS: you can always spot a guitar player, as their spell check capitalizes...

I use that as well. Best rack on the market!

To fit me…

One thing about the 2022 Como 4.0 or 5.0 or the SL. The new Comos have no way to adjust or raise the handlebars. They have a proprietary head on the front of the bike that won’t take a riser or let you replace the bars. SO, you have to either love the position you get or you are out of luck...

The light comes off the seat with two screws. The holes for those screws are what I used, with cable ties, to secure the light to my Brooks saddle. It was much easier than I expected.

I put a Brooks Saddle on my Como and kept the light by cable-tying it to the saddle bag hangers on the saddle. I know that doesn’t help you with removing your saddle but perhaps helps with idea about how to repurpose the light.

My LBD was correct! Note: there is already another thread about this, so please post there. https://www.specialized.com/us/en/turbo-como

After a lot of trial and error, I found that 2150mm is the magic number. With that as the circumference on my Como 2020 3.0, my bike, my Garmin Edge Explore, and Strava on my Apple Watch are all within about 2/10 of a mile for a 20 mile ride. Somewhere, on one of my posts, I show all three at...

I test rode a COMO SL 5.0 yesterday and have decided it's not for me. For starters, and one that might be easy to solve, there's no handlebar-mounted assist-level control (which the VADO SL has), which means the only way to change the assist level is to reach down to the tube and push the...

Guess I missed this.

I heard from a bike store today word of a brand new Como to be introduced soon. It's neither the SL 4 or 5 but will be introduced subsequent to them. That's all I know. Anybody hear anything else?

Hopefully, everyone angles their lights down at the ground. I pass so many riders with their lights shining straight into my face these days, it’s nuts. Bright LED lights literally cause me to see spots.

I don’t know. I just have the stock fork on mine.

Here you go. I didn't have a measuring device handy, but you should be able to get the idea from the photos. We raised it considerably.

My bike store did it when I bought the bike, so I am not sure the model or the height. I know we didn’t have to lengthen the cables, but if I wanted it any higher, we would have to. I will try and get the brand and height tomorrow.

Thank you for sharing that! Exactly what I wanted to know!
