Marcela....can you provide a link to this?

Welcome. Fellow Kansan here.

Yes. https://redshiftsports.com/products/shockstop-suspension-stem

Holy crap you put some thought into this. Different strokes. I'd just try it and see how it goes in real time. Don't like the results? Go back.

Rider weight or cargo weight matters. I'm running with tubes in a Vado SL and I weigh about 145lbs. 42 PSI rear and 38 PSI front. YMMV. NEVER had a flat... Thousands of miles..... Mostly pavement

Unlikely. I'm running at 38 to 42 PSI which is lower than suggested by the manufacturer. Stefan posted that calculator a couple of years ago and I embraced it and I'm glad that I did. I had previously been running at much higher PSI and to the detriment of my body.

Yes I understand. But are there any turbo bikes with a traditional derailleur that do not have a chain? Read the article. Assuming that I read it correctly... It makes no sense

"The recall includes both belt-drive and chain-drive models. Models equipped with traditional rear derailleurs are not part of the recall and remain unaffected." Huh????

Sport Packer

I just received my panniers. One Sport Packer and one Sport Roller. If I had it to do it all over again I probably would have bought rollers for both sides.... And I might have bought one sport size and one regular size. I don't anticipate having both bags on the bike most of the time. I...

Yes. Getting things just right is difficult. I have considered getting a bike 'fit' but am apprehensive to spend the money. After all....I am a recreational rider. The tail end of last season resulted in my nether-regions becoming very sore. I'm trying to avoid that again. I don't want to...

Yes I understand. And yes....I have been avoiding making amateurish or unsightly modifications to my SL for the last 2.5 years...I have even been unwilling to add a rear rack to the bike! I assume that it is part of my 'nature'....and I am admittedly a bit of a perfectionist....or a bit...

Your English is perfect. My jokes are imperfect.

EXTERNAL WIRING ON STEFAN'S VADO SL!!!! Surely you jest. 😆🤣

Ya I know I know.....but a Polish gent talked me out of the suspension seat post a few days back in a private message....I can't remember that guy's name....but it is the same guy that rode completely nude to the lab yesterday.

yup yup yup. How many threads have SL owners discussed these wiring dilemmas relating to seat posts or stem suspension lol? It ain't easy to do some of these upgrades while keeping the light(s). I was thinking of ways to improve my saddle comfort as we had discussed and was thinking of a...

Yes....but why continue wiring it this way? Simply wire it as if it were a non EQ. The wire comes up the down-tube through the seat post and out to the top at the under-side of the seat. If you are to re-install....I would suggest wiring it this way.

Funny you ask. I've been thinking about replacing my saddle....but the light gives me pause. For now I continue to use the Bridge Sport saddle. I believe that all of the modern Spesh saddles have the two threaded holes at under-side and rear to accomodate accessories (or the light).

Or.....you could simply fish the wire(s) that you previously stuffed inside the down-tube and splice the old wire to the new wire(s).....thus avoiding having to drop the motor at all!

Any photos of you riding to the lab naked Stefan? :eek:
