I've read these posts, however, I still do not believe that these cotter pins (or threaded bolts depending on model) sustain any substantial braking loads whatsoever. These bits merely hold the spring/pads in place within the caliper.

That is a 2022 or newer for sure. I call that a good deal. There is no difference between 2022 models of that bike and current models of that bike that I am aware of.

It's a great bike. There are enough settings to control motor power and cadence..... And a whole lot of torque too.... Enough that I would think you could make it as easy or as difficult to pedal as you wish. If you have difficulties with that bike then you likely would have difficulties with...

I didn't know lol. I'm in my 50's and feel like a younger customer much of the time. Age may not equal experience among many e-bike consumers.

This seems pretty reasonable. You are doing something right. I was talking to the guys at the LBS the other day and they were impressed that I have not yet required a chain replacement...and cassette is still looking good at/near 3,000 miles. They recounted that the majority of their ebike...

My 70Nm mid drive seems powerful enough to do anything with minimal rider assistance when desired. 90Nm was an option to me but It was more expensive and seemed unnecessary for my needs. 90Nm is VERY powerful for a mid drive. My other bike is a 35Nm mid drive which requires significant rider...

Both my Specialized chargers (2 differing bikes) get very hot during charging. Very.

I surely believe this is true. With apparent minimal stock among Vado SL bikes in the US....it would seem that Spesh is reluctant to re-tool for new models even among models where low(er) inventory is available. I am thankful that I continue to be very pleased with my trusty old SL with the 1.1...

It sounds as if Spesh pricing varies worldwide. In the US back on 06/23 they discounted the SL 4.0 to $2499 for a very short time. For most of the last year the discount was retracted and pricing is $3500 with seemingly low stock on most colors/sizes. A casual onlooker could suspect that...

When I bought my Vado SL 4.0 the bike was new on the showroom floor and recently placed on steep discount. The dealer did not offer a model year for the bike and frankly I did not inquire either. That bike purchased 06/23 but built 08/22 has been superb all around. I also bought a Vado 4.0...

I did not know that sticker was there! I bought my 4.0 SL on 06/23 and sticker says Vietnam 08/2022.

Huh? There are no 2024 SL's.

Not in the US

Well....it is 2024 right now....but there is no 2024 Vado SL. You likely have a 2023....but it doesn't really matter either way. I bought mine in 2023 and it was a 2022 (pre-mastermind) model. Most dealers have NO CLUE what model year bikes they have....and there have been very few...

There is no '2024' Vado SL that I am aware of. I'd start by using a good PSI calculator. 60psi is very high on that bike. I added a Redshift suspension stem which did soften things a bit. Again, I would take a very good hard look at your PSI. Simple change will make a world of difference...

I VERY rarely use the app.

Quite easily. Local is available too.....but high(er) quality and organic can be mail ordered from this place and from other places that are similar https://wnc-cbd.com/

I subscribed to peacock yesterday so that I could watch the T de F. It was an exciting leg yesterday. My father-in-law got me into watching the tour and he passed away since the last tour. Bittersweet

Depends on fitness and distance. I've never considered buying one.... They are expensive, heavy, and I don't need it typically.I use battery very judiciously.

True. But this is a street bike for commuting and errands. The 4.0 componentry is more than adequate for that use.
