Done

This is interesting, when I switched on mission control today it stated all my software was up to date! Latest software for range extender battery is now listed as 2,3.10! This is inexplicable unless Specialised read this thread and updated their systems! I‘m glad I didn’t rush off to the bike...

Thanks Stefan, that’s what I’ll do.

Thanks Stefan, yes I have the 5.0. Yes you are right the rims supplied with the bike, DT Swiss R500 can be converted in the manner that you have outlined. I looked at the video on the DTS website and they show it being done. You have also outlined the benefits of going tubeless and I’m going to...

Thank you for that information and for your kind comments about Cambridge, i’m very happy that my wife and I decided to live here after my retirement. My bike has been supplied with Nimbus Sport blackbelt tyres, from the little information I can find about them they do appear to have a...

Specialised turbo Vado SL 5.0 EQ my impressions after four rides So after just four rides, about 60 miles in total. I have a very favourable opinion of the bike and I am delighted that I decided to go ahead with my purchase. Firstly it’s lighter than I had imagined it to be, which is just great...
