    2022 Vado 4.0 TCD2 MasterMind Color Display Glass Separating

    I have noticed that the bottom right hand corner of the display appears to be separating and it has gotten worse in the past month. Has anyone else seen this problem? Feeling the tolerance between the glass and rubber housing... the glass isn't protruding upwards it seems to be separating...

    Mission Control Versions-are our bikes "bricked"?

    My 2022 Vado 4.0 works fine. I am not updating either.

    Mission Control Versions-are our bikes "bricked"?

    Damn I ran Solaris boxes back then too (much respect). I am getting ready to retire but currently running scores of k8s clusters for a fortune 50 company. I love Unix/Linux. I never had to get into management or business (I hold them with great disdain).

    2022 Vado - Flat tire while on kickstand

    Great advice. I also bought this https://www.handlebarjack.com/ and I keep it with me on longer rides in a tool kit.

    Specialized Turbo Vado/Como/Tero/Tero X User Club

    I have been very impressed with the Coolcave panniers. You can fill them with drinks and ice for slow roll rides people can just reach in. They also have a rubber pug at the bottom you can remove to drain. They hold more than a full grocery bag too!

    HANDLEBAR REMOTE on 2022 Vado & Como

    Anytime the ambient temperature outside goes below 42 degrees all of the buttons (except F2 and power on/off) on my 2022 VADO 4.0 don't work. But everything works again once the temp goes above 42. I was out riding last weekend in 18-degree weather... this weekend it has been 58 and everything...

    Did you take off the drive side or non drive side?

    Turbo Vado Front Rack

    It "would" work on the Vado if the handlebars were higher (like the Como). Ah well... :-(

    Turbo Vado Front Rack

    Wire strippers, heat shrink, soldering iron, and about 10” of extra wire. Be cognizant where you cut the wire. I cut mine 5” from the light. Strip the wires, tin them with solder. Then put the heat shrink on, twist the connections together and solder. Last use a lighter or heat gun to get the...

    Turbo Vado Front Rack

    So this new video will show the basket installed the correct way on the adventure plate… Huh maybe I did something wrong and it will work. I’ll try again.

    Turbo Vado Front Rack

    I didn’t remove the motor cover but I did remove the battery and looking into the motor didn’t look like any slack was available.

    Turbo Vado Front Rack

    Mine was too short as well. But my 2022 vado was one of the early ones and is in reality a year old or more. Maybe they updated the cable length later on after the adventure plate design was finalized?

    Great to hear you had enough cable.

    Turbo Vado Front Rack

    That and the front rack can't mount the turbo basket unless it is backward (yes I tried reversing the mik plate adaptor).

    Turbo Vado Front Rack

    Yes, I tried and no it won’t work. What will work is mounting the headlight to the handlebar or cutting the headlight cable and splicing in 4" inches or so.

    Turbo Vado Front Rack

    Before I cut my headlight wire to extend it... I did use a rubber band to attach the headlight to the handlebars. Which did work. Other than that you have to cut and splice in wire to extend the headlight.

    Turbo Vado Front Rack

    I received the front rack with the adventure plate today. Indeed, the front light cable is too short by a good 4 inches so I cut the cable and spliced an extension cable in. I decided to mount my front light upside down so that it wouldn't interfere with cargo that could protrude beyond the...

    Turbo Vado Front Rack

    I just pulled apart the front light on my 2022 Vado 4.0 and there might be enough slack in the cable. Does anyone know what the internal cable routes look like inside the frame? Where the cable for the light terminates? I don't want to pull too hard but I'd say I got a good 12" extra length...
