    Turbo Vado Front Rack

    I think those photos are photoshopped and if not they clearly show that if the fork compresses it will damage the light and/or the rack. Indeed, there is not enough slack in the cable. I just ordered it.

    Turbo Vado Front Rack

    I think I am ordering it (99% there)... trying to see if I have enough cable to extent the front light. I have the vado 4.0 and it looks like the fork light mount is moved and inverted to attach to the front frack. I need to take some measurements... but I could always splice in a cable...

    Charging question - don't overcharge?

    I agree with virtually everything that has been said. I ride alot. I charge to 100% every single time. I know it does degrade the battery faster but I honestly don’t care. The bike mechanic was likely hedging bets that you will not ride your ebike as much as you think you will (most don’t) so he...

    2022 Vado 4.0 My Opinion after the first 1000 miles

    Indeed. Yesterday I rode to my local dispensary and there was a bicycle already locked to the rack by the main door. So I rode to the front of the building which has more racks and also faces a busy street and has a bar with an open patio within 7' of the racks (with people around). When I...

    2022 Vado 4.0 My Opinion after the first 1000 miles

    I have two ABUS locks... an ABUS Bordo Granit xplus 85cm folding lock and an ABUS 1060 67" chain. The folding lock will perfectly fit through the rear wheel, frame, and a standard bike rack. The chain is long enough to go through both weels the frame and a bike rack. When I have the trailer...

    2022 Vado 4.0 My Opinion after the first 1000 miles

    I use the Park Tool chain lube and I clean and lube my chain about every 4 weeks.

    2022 Vado 4.0 My Opinion after the first 1000 miles

    2000 miles on the bike now. All I have done is rotated the tires, replaced the chain (it hadn't even stretched but I always switch out at 2k), and replaced the brake pads. The bike is amazing! I haven't even had to adjust the shifting... ever. I got a Burley XC Coho cargo trailer for it too...

    Burley Coho

    I actually found the right axel in a bargain bin at a local REI. It was 14 bucks! I love the coho it is perfect for my needs!

    Burley Coho

    Which ballz through axel did you get? I measured my VADO axel and it is 12mm x 1.0 thread and 162mm long. I ordered the trailer and the ballz through axel 12mm x 1.0 thread 158mm to 174mm. But they sent the wrong axel. And now that specific size is out of stock everywhere. Before I send...

    ABUS frame locks for Vado/Como have arrived (and they fit/work!)

    Thanks for the info. There are parts of Cleveland that I frequent that yes anything and everything will be stolen. I am looking for a better solution than a cable for the front wheel.

    ABUS frame locks for Vado/Como have arrived (and they fit/work!)

    Thanks for sharing the pics. Do you think the chain ABUS makes to plug into the lock will be long enough to secure the front wheel to the frame? I already have an ABUS folding lock that can make it through the rear wheel, frame, and a standard bike rack. Thanks for any insight you can provide.

    Specialized Mission Control App Details & Settings

    I had these problems mentioned above. I just ignored them and after a couple weeks everything works now. However I can’t locate the tcd brightness settings in the app or the display. My screen isn’t as bright as it was before the update. Has anyone else experienced this?

    2022 Vado: Turbo Basket and Tailwind Panniers

    I concur regarding heel strikes however for me i slid them back .75” and it’s fine now. After a few hundred miles and getting used to pedaling with the panniers moved back…. I moved them forward and i am not getting heel strikes. My pedaling technique/foot position changed. Not saying this...

    New Como 5.0 Rock Shock fork not working

    This is extraordinary. A business wants to pay you to go away. Wrap your mind around this... a business wants to pay you to go away. And even if you think that they will pay you what you paid... they aren't breaking even... they have had to spend even more money to deal with you. They are...
