Have you installed a riser and raised your bars? I have a Como 3.0 2020 that I did that to, and it makes for a very comfortable riding position. I LOVE the Vado SL weight, but would need to really raise the bars to be able to ride it. Curious if any of you have done that. If so, did you have to...

Updates still have to be done by bike store, sadly. You can check software versions with Mission Control App.

From the way mine failed, my semi-educated guess is that screws got loose, which loosened the motor, which caused the motor to torque one side of the frame mount against the other, until the frame cracked. So, each year when I take my bike in for its annual tuneup, I have my LBS check the screws...

So sorry to hear that this is happening. In my case, I got a new bike. A 2020 Como 3. So far, with over 3000 miles on it, it's doing fine. Specialized guarantees their frames for life, so hopefully you will get exactly what you want to remedy the issue. Please keep the thread posted.

PIES!!!!

When updating next time, have the dealer set the circumference to 2150mm / 84.64 inches to have it proper (this for a Como or any bike with Nimbus 650 tires). When you do this, your speed and distance will jive with other GPS systems, such as Garmin or Strava on the IPhone. When set higher, your...

Thanks, I am trying to determine if all the cracked frames were from the same year. So far, I think they were all 2018 bikes. So far, even though the design is the same, my replacement COMO 3.0 is fine. Keeping my fingers crossed. Hope you get a bike soon...

I am sorry to hear that, Paul. Out of curiosity, what year is your VADO?

Broke a spoke on my 2020 Specialized Como 3. Rear wheel, disc side at the nipple. This bike has seen about 2500 miles, mostly paved trails in the Chicago area. I had one go on my Como 2.0 (before the frame broke at the motor).

I used a couple of cable ties to mount it to my Brooks saddle...

Really depends on the kind of riding you want to do. I have a Specialized Como 3.0, and my wife has a LaFree+2. I envy her tires! Mine are nearly slicks (Specialized Nimbus 650), but I can't find any 650s that have the kind of tread she has.

The 'from the factory' setting on my Como 3.0 (Class 1) is 35/100, 75/100, and 100/100. When I first put the TDW on my old 2018 Como 2.0 (frame broke at motor mount), it was set at 35/35, 75/75, and 100/100.

Older Como 3.0s are Class 3 bikes...

I think he means he'd swap the motor for the one on the damaged bike? I can see that taking an hour or so.

The 2020 3.0 also comes with a larger chainring which makes the riding experience a little different. Actually feels like there is more top end. It’s not really a big deal to me. I got used to he difference after a couple of rides.

First, sorry to hear about your frame cracking. In my case, because I'd had the bike computer upgraded to the new version (installed by my dealer who sold me the bike), they made the case that I should be upgraded to the 2020 Como 3.0. Same basic specs as the 2018 Como 2.0 and, by the time...

Fortunately, there is a lifetime warranty period to the original owner.

Wow. Hopefully, the new bike won’t break. Specialized hasn’t said anything but people are suggesting that the motor wasn’t torqued to the frame properly on some of the 2018 bikes. Mine is a 2020, which replaced a 2018. I have 1900 miles on mine and so far so good. Keeping my fingers crossed. But...

They replaced the entire bike, for me. The frame is guaranteed for life, but they did the entire bike anyway.

I am sorry this has happened. Hopefully you will get a good resolution. And thank you for that photo - I wasn't aware it could be seen without disassembling cover! Makes it very easy to check!
