    EBR made me do it! (new Vado SL 5.0 EQ)

    I had those wing style grips on my Trek XM700 and loved them. Rented an ebike in Canada last week with them again, still find it very comfortable to have that sort of flattish surface to rest your palms on. That 40 tooth chainring has everything to do with the performance on the hills! As long...

    Amazing deals at Yamaha currently

    New Hampshire works, delivers to a shop on Rutland, Vt for whatever reason

    Turbo Creo 2 Comp E5 (aluminum) is out, is a Vado SL 2 next?

    Looks great, glad to see you got what you wanted. How many teeth is that chainring?

    Not a hell of a lot of winding country roads out that way, Art? You certainly seem to find some balance with the forays over towards Banff and that region! I got a very nice ride in the other day on a rented Trek Verve over in Niagara On The Lake in Ontario, about fifteen minutes north of...

    Probably one of Stefan’s spares. He’s got a million of them!

    Certainly hope not, but I guess it would be pretty spectacular!

    I have to say I am not getting a particularly warm and fuzzy feeling from the admin side of this equation. I don’t see a single entry or attempt at any communication over the genuinely lousy performance lately. I’m starting to get the same vibes that were around the last few days before the old...

    Epic ride, epic scenery, epic tribute to your dad with a lot of time for you to reflect on all of it. Super impressive. If your dad got to live in such a beautiful place for 93 years he was certainly ahead of the game.

    I ran into the non power on, intermittent shutoff thing as well a couple of years ago on my 2018 Giant Toughroad, similar to your Road E. New display fixed the problem, bike is still going strong under my son’s command. That era Giant ebike was a damn good piece of equipment.

    Turbo Creo 2 Comp E5 (aluminum) is out, is a Vado SL 2 next?

    Hey, I don’t mind, this is all very exciting! Going back to the beginning, you’re more of a road person than a gravel one though, am I right on that? This is partially about keeping up with if not blasting by your husband’s Emonda, I recall. The Trek Domane stuff doesn’t fit either?

    Chain Line - Turbo Creo

    The chain is coming off at the large cassette on the wheel and not on the crank (pedals area)? That’s a pretty easy adjustment of the limit screw… there’s a million YouTube videos about that, including some particularly good ones from the ParkTool people

    Turbo Creo 2 Comp E5 (aluminum) is out, is a Vado SL 2 next?

    Gravel people have been putting 650Bs on Creos for some time, for the opposite reason: to put larger tires on them. Don’t see why the reverse shoudn’t be true, with the one question about lowering the bottom bracket height and maybe using shorter crank arms?

    Turbo Creo 2 Comp E5 (aluminum) is out, is a Vado SL 2 next?

    I saw a picture of Keith Urban with his TALL wife Nicole Kidman today… he’s wearing shoes with what’s gotta be two inches of lift! That would do it nicely as well! (No disrespect intended, Keith, we’re just trying to solve a problem here)

    specialized creo 2

    Yes, they’re a bit fragile. I broke the plastic (really?) connector ring while locking it down one fine day.

    Creo have "walk assist mode"?

    I think Kahn has the same bike I do

    Turbo Creo 2 Comp E5 (aluminum) is out, is a Vado SL 2 next?

    Just a random weird thought here, but I see the carbon Creo has 47mm tires and the alloy comes with 38s. Could a half inch or so of that standover height be attributed to that?

    Creo have "walk assist mode"?

    Intriguing suggestion… just went out and tried every sort of button action I could think of, bike just sits there.
