Another vote for your local bike shop and take several on test rides. The test rides are free so you can’t go wrong. Some bike shops will rent you an e-bike for the day for about $100 and will take that off the sales price if you buy a bike from them. Like previously mentioned, buy a...

My wife and I each have got 1500 miles on our Specialized Vado’s and haven't done a thing to them except lube the chains. You can’t go wrong with anything Specialized. You mentioned the wilderness. The Vado and Tero are a good road/dirt fire road choice with the right tires. Also, another...

Without looking too closely at it, it has SRAM components and a CF frame so that’s a good start. Costco has a great return policy so that helps too. My concern is who will work on it when it needs repairs? A LBS probably won’t. I think you are better off with a used name brand bike like...

Hey Jeremy, I got my Wahoo Bolt from online Aliexpress for $204 delivered to my door. I was skeptical and nervous that nothing would show up, but 3 weeks later it did. Brand new in the sealed box, and it works great. I think my LBS wants $400 ish for it.

My wife and I are 62 years old and both have Vado 3’s. They have been flawless and really make riding fun again. We’ve got 1500 miles on them and have done nothing but chain maintenance and fix a couple of flats.

I’m completely against an e-bike for a young person. If they are healthy they should ride a regular bike. Now if they have some disability or are overweight and an e-bike will help them on their way to getting healthy, that’s a different story. My wife and I bought our first e-bikes when...

A couple days ago my wife and I were riding our Vados on the City‘s dedicated bicycle/walking path. Some idiot on a Surron came flying past us. We were lucky I was able to hear the electric motor screaming so I knew he was going fast and we didn't swerve or try to look behind us. He would...

Another vote for test riding a few before you buy. My LBS takes your drivers license and lets you take a bike for a spin down the street. Doing that won’t give you a real feeling of what it’s like to really ride one, but it’s better than nothing and free. Find a Specialized dealer and look at...

Is there a schedule as to when the updates are sent out? Once a year, etc.?

A small screwdriver can be used to pry out and up on the circlip. Then work it around and off the toothed shaft. Circlip pliers are the best, but if you don’t have any…

To the OP, what saddle is that? I’m looking to replace a couple stock saddles on my bikes.

I’ll look at the eTap also, thx Allen

To be honest with you, I just bought my Creo and aren’t even sure how many gears it’s got. My wife and I went for a ride with some friends and my wife traded bikes for about 10 miles and got to try out a Creo Expert and loves the Di2. She’s never seen that before. We’re looking for a Creo...

How about the stuff you wrap around exposed water pipes and plug in? They stop the pipes from freezing so they should keep the battery slightly warm.

Anyone put a Di2 system on their Creo Comp Carbon? Ballpark cost? Easy or difficult? Is it DIY or would a bike shop have to do it?

I just need to chime in here, and make another vote for the alloy frame. When you crash or drop the bike and it lands on a rock or tree branch, the alloy frame will just dent slightly. The carbon frame will crack and will need to be replaced. There is not much of a weight savings with the...

Alcohol and power tools lol

Yes, I saw that. It was just one sensor, but everything I need came up on the Bolt screen. We’ll see how the mileage looks after I ride it for a few mikes to see if the Auto wheel circumference is accurate.

Ok thanks. I’m doing a 50 miler on Friday so I’ll let you know

Ok I think I got it Stephan, thank you. I used the AUTO prompt for wheel circumference. That gonna work? I‘m mainly looking for Speed, Distance, and Assist Setting showing in the screen on my Bolt. I can’t see the assist setting on the Master Control window on the bike when I’m riding...
