Agreed.

Not a vast majority. There are almost 245 million eligible voters in the U.S. A little more than 155 million voted in the 2024 election which equates to about 58% who are eligible actually voted. Margin of victory was about 1.5%

They took months to come up with a fix as the stop-sale has been since late '24. Thanks for posting.

I got more info from my LBS - the issue is that apparently a piece of the cover can become caught in the drive. They have been waiting 5 months for Specialized to either provide a replacement part or recall the unsold units. My LBS has 2 on hand but legally can't sell them. It only is for the...

I use Fillmore valves - an improvement on the original presta, but expensive. I too am in the Schrader camp unless on a narrow wheeled road bike. Call me a cheapo idiot, but I'm considering converting to Schrader on all my emtb's

True. The U.S. is overly litigious - too much money to be made by personal injury attorneys - I've had others in non-USA countries indicate these are available to sell.

In regard to the original post - I've been wanting to buy a Como IGH for my wife but more than one of my LBS has told me there is a stop sale on the IGH models and are waiting on Specialized for a remedy - it apparently is regarding chain guard (belt guard in the case of IGH models). They didn't...

While not a low-cost option, I was tired of lifting my 5 different emtb's onto the Park stand, so I bit the bullet and invested in one of these: https://www.remcotools.com/ Life if soooo good when working on the bikes.

I spoke to another (different) LBS (in Arizona, USA) and they too said their was a "stop sale" on the IGH models and said it has something to do with the chain guard (belt guard) and was waiting on word and remedy from Specialized. I also came across this on Reddit from someone who sounds...

Terrific! Be sure to post up your experience with them! Interestingly, I checked with my LBS today and the stop-sale is still in effect - must be something specific to the U.S.

Have you received word on your order?

I for one will be buying an Amflow when they arrive in the USA and selling my Levo and my Trek Fuel EXE as to the point made earlier, it is the best of both worlds (arguably far better as the torque is so much greater than the Levo with the weight of the Fuel)

A few weeks ago I was in my LBS asking about the Como IGH models as I'm considering getting one for my wife and they told me there was a "stop sale" on them (sounds like something with the crank or crank guard but they weren't specific) no known timeframe for remedy and to allow for sale. Has...

Good to hear you are still happy with your setup. I'm building my Vado out now - Kinikt 50degree stem, Como bars, finding the brake lines (particularly the rear) is a tight fit - particularly concerned when near full left - most likely not an issue when riding, but I'm going to see if I can find...

I understand your concern and appreciate the request to keep the politics out of the discussion. While I don't doubt some tariffs may be put in place, I am hopeful that this is simply saber rattling threats done in an negotiation ploy, as one of the results of such tariffs are higher prices for...

While your post is a couple years old, I've been researching on how to make my 2021 Vado more comfortable (more upright riding position like my wife's Como) and came across your post. Curious as to if you kept this set up? I hadn't thought about a Kinekt stem, which length and rise did you...

Been looking for a top-tube bag that will work with the deeply angled top tube on my wife's Specialized Como Step Through. I've got a RockBrothers for my Vado that works great, but the issue with the step-thru is the connection to the stem with the steep angle of the top tube - the strap needs...

If you liked the Race Face Chesters (except for the metal pins) you may want to consider the Race Face "Ride" which replace the metal pins with composite. https://www.raceface.com/collections/ride

If you notice the photos, "Trip/Ride" is not one of the display options - MPH, Timer, Power, Kcal and Odometer. She uses the Odometer to determine length of each trip/ride

Simplicity of use. My wife isn't going to use the Mission Control app. Basically wants to hop on the bike and see how far she's gone without needing a microscope.
