    I have no idea. I ruined them due to ignorance. However, after replacing all was well until the cleaning. I think the person who cleaned the front was careless or in a hurry or both. How do you test ride the bike and not hear that loud sound. He was test riding but only applying the back brake...

    He put these on. Worked perfect. Not a sound. After lbs cleaning almost 2 months later a loud howling noise. He cut down the noise and sprayed something on the rotor with the wheel off and sanded down the brake pads. I'm going back tomorrow to see what they do. If I'm not satisfied I'll email...

    I didn't have any issue with brakes making noise until I was riding away from the lbs and heard the loud shrieking. They had my bike 4 days only to create another problem for me. No shrieking or noise when I brought it to them.

    Thanks for the advice. No everything was fine after my initial blunder. Cost me $72 to fix. After that I didn't have any issues until I got my bike serviced Silver Tune. The mechanic apologized and said if I was not satisfied to bring it back tomorrow. I just had rotor, brake pads replaced 3/18.

    Yes. I spend a lot of money with them to support my lbs but unfortunately things keep happening.

    Thank you. After I had my bike serviced I had the same loud shrieking sound when I applied the front brake. Sounded like the front brake got contaminated again. Mechanic I never seen before sprayed something on my rotor and sanded down my brakes. Thing is I just brought new brake pads and rotor...

    A little help. So, I left my bike with my lbs for 4 days. I picked it up today, supposedly the derailleur cable had to be replaced. I'm looking at my derailleur but it looks different. I remember the screw that holds the cable down was black. It looks like more than the cable was replaced. Can...

    For those with Velosurance or those thinking about getting it. Today I used road side assistance. The guy came and picked me and my bike up in a hugh flatbed.🤣 From the time of my call it took about 45 minutes for him to arrive. We used strap clamps, a blanket and a towel to keep the Vado from...

    That's strange. The app apparently knows nothing about your Vado but that's not true for mine. I never had any of those experiences that you've mentioned. I did change wheel size to match MC. Because 90 was to high. I checked stats after adjustment. 15 mile ride showed it was only off .1 from...

    Slime is good defense. I'm on the brink of a 1000 miles. No flats so far. I do need my derailleur adjusted. Specialized Thorn resistant tubes have been solid for me too.

    What's your farthest ride on a single charge with a Vado?

    This is my best effort so far riding in SCV . The Hills wore me out so I had to stop a couple of times to regain my strength. I'm also fasting so no food or water. I started at 100%. I used 33%. Average speed 15 mph. Distance approximately 30 miles. Time for a nap.

    What's your farthest ride on a single charge with a Vado?

    👌. Your instructions are way more newbie friendly, much easier to understand. ☝. His instructions are different and not easily understood. Now I can understand what he's doing in the initial setup. I take it the initial setup isn't really needed?

    What's your farthest ride on a single charge with a Vado?

    @Stefan Mikes . Hey. I finally got the tool set but I'm confused with the instructions. I've never used or been exposed to this tool set. I've watched the video but I can't make out what the guy is doing. The instructions say to set the tool first 2nm and then to 6nm and back to 2 ? Something...

    What's your farthest ride on a single charge with a Vado?

    Hey folks. Loving my 5.0. I did a couple rides in a few days apart to the same location and back. 26.5 × 2 = 53 miles. It was a couple miles further on the first ride but I'm not counting that. I have 37% remaining. So, I can potentially do it once more leaving me with 5.5% battery remaining...

    Just shy of 900 miles. No flats. All is well. Checking out the different terrain.

    These new batteries showed health 95% from the beginning? Or they would only go to 95% charge? How many charges before the health of the battery starts to decline?

    "cannot tell what happens at the 2% of battery left." ☝ I don't want to find out. 😄 Lowest percentage I've dropped to is 9% remaining after 62 miles. Li-ion batteries will shut off my computer and phone between 2 and 4 percent remaining. On my computer which is practically new, it shutdowns at...
