Appreciate you sharing that, CodyDog! I would not be at all opposed to a rigid fork, be or carbon or steel…just haven’t came across one with a tapered steer tube and a similar A/C measurement.

WOOPS- 😂 Yes, axle spacing will be good. May not get this project done ‘til this fall/winter.

Stefan- From my research- and I don’t claim to be an expert…. The wonderful SunRace I have on my Vado 4 is shown to be Mobie 32 model, with 80mm travel and a 476 axle-to-crown length. While I prefer Fox components (from my MTB experience) the RockShox Reba is about the best combination of...

I think with one spare battery, a person just might be able to pull off a Tour Divide run. NOT in a racing capacity. For example, on my Trek Powerfly 5 I can get very close to 60 miles on the battery if I’m using Eco Mode. (I just use my Trek as an example because it’s a hard tail mountain...

I haven’t researched RAGBRAI in a few years, but I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the ‘tour operators’ wouldn’t be making accommodations for charging customers ebikes.

Continuing the fine-tuning of my Vado’s cockpit…. Installed a set of SQlab 411 inner barends. Next project I think will be installing a RockShox Reba air fork to get away from the SunTour Mobile A32- someone’s cruel joke to simulate ‘suspension’. 😂 Honestly, I’d even consider a rigid carbon...

RJ- Other than the one-piece design of the Specialized stem, it bears all the marks of a ‘traditional’ stem…meaning the two pinch bolts and the small bolt on top with would normally hold a stem cap in place (as well as adjust preload on the headset) Because of its one-piece design, I suspect...

Put a little beefier tire on the front of the Vado a few days ago. Folding bead and the knobs provide a much-improved experience for the gravel areas I ride.

That is a nice-looking Vado! I have one in the same color.

That’s good to hear. I see that Western Spirit Cycling tours (and maybe other guided ‘tour’ companies as well) is now offering ebike routes, quite a number of which are in the Moab area.

Prefer non-paved surfaces to all else. Enjoyed riding all parts of Arizona when I lived there. It is hard to beat the Moab, UT area, in my opinion.

LOL- I am almost embarrassed I did not discover this!!!! Thank you!

I changed out the bars on my Vado 4 to a pair of Selcof Carbon Flats in 780mm with some Deity Supracush grips. I didn’t like the swept-back style of the OEM bars on longer rides.

I have had the privilege of having a few posts ‘loved’ by others…🙂 I see at the bottom of a post where a viewer can ‘like’ a post, but where does the ❤️ option come in?

Thank you for that info, Prairie Dog.

Thanks, Dave. I’ve done a fair amount of digging (from my perspective, anyways) and really haven’t been able to discern anything.

Thanks, Dave. Would you know if your fork is aluminum or carbon on your E5?

Found the answer regarding tire clearance in the Specialized FAQ section….. Guess I should’ve dug a little deeper! 🙂 🚴

Apologies for digging up an old thread, but the topic seems to apply best to my question….. So the tire clearance on a Creo SL vs a Creo Evo is actually the same, the only difference being the EVO is spec’d with 38mm tires? I wonder if the aluminum frame Creo has an aluminum fork as well...
