Stefan, So if 48T is OEM, and you used 38T and 42T, can you summarize the benefits or detriments to each choice vs OEM 48T? Thanks.

I had the most absolute, weirdest of ever experienced oddity occur today. Clunk, clunk, clunk, flat tire. Never in my life, ever....

Stefan, You bring up a valid observation. I'm guessing that one of 2 things has occurred. I being lied to by the LBS or they don't have a clue about the products that they sell and support. I'll be investigating and keep you informed of the outcome (their response to the fact you have...

I was with AT&T/Geoplex in Silicon Valley when Al Gore invented the Internet :)

It ALL depends on multiple conditions, wind, cold, hot, elevation (hills), etc., etc. I was an early adopter with an electric car 10 years ago (Ford Focus Electric), so I know all about range anxiety, how to plan, manage, tweak, etc., to get the most for my mile. The current Vado is my 6th or...

Thanks for the help.

EXACTLY! And, what about, the LBS manager validated this with the reply upon inquiring (on 5/20/23), "I reached out to my BDM (brand development manager) who has the new globe, and he is having the same experience. He was in the store, and we set his bike up with the same issue. No matter how...

I as well as my wife rely on it as it is one of the "Smartest" features associated with Mission Control. Set it, forget it. If I plan a ride for 30-35 miles, and I set it as per the configuration offerings, I ride like I'm on a magic carpet ride. It is one of the best features ever, once you...

"firmware image is damaged or its settings are somehow patched to impossible values" Um, how many times have you, in your life, interacted with a support representative regarding an unresponsive feature or other abnormality of a digital device and they say, "You possibly got a bad flash, we'll...

Absolutely. Everything else is functioning normally with exception to Smart Control.

The latest Mission Control application on Apple IOS is v3.17.0 Build 164, released May 11, 2023. As referenced in previous postings, "Smart Control" is no longer functioning. The LBS manager validated this with the reply upon inquiring (on 5/20/23), "I reached out to my BDM (brand development...

I mean I 'push' the bikes backwards, holding the handlebars at the front of the bike, and putting it to the spot where it gets parked. Like I said, 'sometimes' it makes a weird noise, and it might be what gear it is in when pushing back, as there have been time when pushing, the pedals/crank move.

While I ALWAY back mine and my wife's Vado and Como into the garage after a ride, I've never had a chain drop doing so. However, there have been times (not too many) when I heard some odd noise doing so. I attribute it to what gear it's in while backing it up. The lowest (gear 1) makes no noise...

If anyone is looking, I have one that is up in the classifieds https://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/specialized-turbo-user-interface-vado-or-como-tcd-w-display-retrofit-kit-s199900067.53001/

Changes were done prior to fitting. So may the "fitter" was not 'fit'?

COMO VADO TCD WITH DISPLAY RETROFIT KIT - REPLACE YOUR BLOKS DISPLAY!! TCD-W & Battery Nest Exchange Brand new, never used, everything included as provided by Specialized to retrofit BLOKS to TCD-w conversion set for Vado/Como I purchased a Vado and thought that I might need this but did not. My...

Thanks for you insight. However, the purpose of my initial modification(s) to change the handlebars to a more swept back position was that I suffered tremendously with wrist pain and shoulder pain (with OEM handlebars + stem). I additionally raised the stem with the Kinekt Suspension Stem 100mm...

As a followup, the LBS manage wrote back to me this morning: "I reached out to my BDM (brand development manager) who has the new globe, and he is having the same experience. He was in the store, and we set his bike up with the same issue. No matter how we adjust the distance and elevation it...

Mine used to work, as discussed, as well as my wife's Como, used to work. The both bikes seem crippled when using Smart Control. Odd thing is the LBS manager tried it on a few bikes on the sales floor, has the same result, minimal involved assistance, semi-crippled. The other thing is the...

I did a bike "fit" and paid handsomely for it a year ago on 2 bikes. I have chamois padded under garment(s). I tried the Ergon saddle Stefan suggested today, OK for 10 miles, we'll see as it goes forward.
