Hello, @bazzapage and @Ravi Kempaiah, thank you for the feedback. What you’ve described makes sense. Grin was suggesting I could cut or open up the cable on my existing Specialized charger and see if there are only two conductors (= power only) or more (= power + data.) I’m not too keen on...

Hello, all. I am interested in acquiring a 2nd battery charger for my Como 5.0. Several aspects of the Cycle Satiator appeal, including its weather resistance and the convenience of setting it to charge the battery only up to a specific percentage charge- idea being that if you recharge the...

Hi, Unique! Glad to hear the TCD-W upgrade campaign completed satisfactorily and at no cost to you. As you gain experience and have time, please provide more feedback about how you like the new display and the integration with the MC app. Also, can you please share a photo of the new display on...

Still watching this thread with great interest. Thanks for the update, @Unique, hope your update completes successfully soon. Further question, you have a Como 5.0, which is a relatively new model, I believe. Do you mind if I ask when you purchased and if your upgrade is being provided at no...

Thank you @e-levity and @Unique for your feedback. I’m traveling for work for a few days, but I’ll keep an eye on this thread for further developments and come around to this. :)

I asked my LBS to contact Specialized to procure the TCD-W kit for my 2019 Como 5.0. Specialized told my LBS that this free revision is only for specific models from 2017 and 2018 that were originally advertised as being compatible with Mission Control. My Como 5.0 was produced last Fall and...

Could someone please upload a photo of the new display after it has been installed, perhaps showing the active screen? Thanks.

What wonderful news, very happy to hear! I am going riding this afternoon but I'm dressed more like I'm going snowboarding! Cheers, Richard, glad you're on the mend and have your new bike to look forward to.

Ridercare emailed me to let me know this revision is available for my new Como 5.0. And I'd been waiting to hear feedback from someone who has had this done and how things work. Any downsides to the fix or is this definitely the way to go? Thanks.

Hi, everyone. Since this particular thread lives in the TREK FORUM, I'll keep this brief, but since I recently got a Como 5.0 I wanted to add that I'm really enjoying it. If you care to visit the Specialized forum here on EBR, you'll find more info there. I do love Trek bikes and I've owned a...

Greetings, all. @indianajo, glad you got your Vario set up. Pretty slick that you have a heads up display! Sorry your earlier questions escaped my attention, I forgot to come back to this thread. Like you, I really like the effectiveness of the flashing rear taillight. It is long lasting on a...

@Alaskan, wow, the severity is worse than I realized. Glad you were evaluated by a doctor. I’ve not met you but I think it is both lucky and a testament to your conditioning that you were not more seriously hurt- that much force could have torn, lacerated, or broken things. Sending healing...

@Alaskan, I join the others: so sorry this happened to you and hope you are back up and moving sooner than you expect. The subject question: what is there to learn from this? Plenty. You described the scenario so clearly I have added a cautionary tale to my memory banks. I have learned from...

Hi, Angela, eBiker, inadianjo, thanks for the kind words and welcome. In the last week I've been on a few more rides with the Garmin Varia system. I've had two or three false positive alerts. These occurred while I was turning a corner and I think it got fooled. Anyway, the alert flashed...

Hello, all. My Specialized Como 5.0 came with an integrated tail light under the saddle but the sight of it is almost completely obscured by a Topeak MTX saddlebag. I tried an inexpensive tail light from Amazon, and I didn't find it particularly visible during the day or reliable. I have had...

Thanks again, DD, for these details. I’ll keep them in mind. Hello, Gator. Guess what, I believe I agree with you. I put 18 miles on my new eBike in 2 days. I’m just getting started back to exercise after having been sidelined with injuries for many months, so at 15 MPH I’m just enjoying being...
