I ended up replacing the GoPro thumbscrew with a regular screw. Didn't like the long plastic knob.

Interesting. So there is no real automatic mode. I guess what I'm looking for is something like smart control, but rather than evaluating the entire ride, can take parameters like torque, cadence, etc and only increase power when I need it going up hills. For me, most of my rides are out...

Here's the aluminum light mount from parts off amazon. I had it a little farther down so it didn't interfere with my bag.

Really like the wheels/tires. What Derailleur/Cassette did you use? Did you change out the front chainring? Also..any trouble with the chain falling off, since you removed that chainstay around the ring?

Also...let's say during riding, the max wattage I would ever put out is 250w, then I would need to have it at 300/250/2=.6, 60% to get full power from the motor. So something like 60/100 would give me me a range of 120 watts boost-300 watts. Would give me a range of 1-3 hours depending on hard...

So 35/50, would limit the power output to 150 watts from the motor? So if I'm riding between 100-200watts of my own power, then at 35/100, the motor is providing 63-126 watts. If I average 100 watts though, then 63 watts from the motor, then 320wh battery should last 320/70=4.5 hours?

2022 Turbo Vado SL 5.0. I tried Smart Control on a route I've ridden before. I had it set for 30 miles, elevation 1200ft, climb response 75ft, and 10% left for remaining battery. Smart Control kept shifting some settings automatically, when I was setting it up (mostly battery %). This was...

Did you add those yourself?

Looks nice. Is that a 2022? Xtr brakes?

Found it Thanks!!

Mine broke while I was riding. Could have been agrivated by my handle bar bag, but I didn't have anything heavy in it at the time. Maybe just because I was riding a lot of gravel roads.

Looks like the light uses a GoPro type mount. Ordered this from Amazon in aluminum. I got the extension 9cm so I can have the light lower, so it doesn't interfere with my handlebar bag. Disappointed in the crappy bracket quality from specialized though.

Yeah. My light bracket just broke on my ride. 😢

Curious why you highly recommend this? I know torque tools are a good idea, but have you crushed a handlebar or broken something?

Already took it apart. Removed the bracket. Decided I didn't like the little hole where the bracket was. Since I had the bracket out, I secured it with some removable glue so it doesn't move around Not sure if it will last, but I'll try it. Put it back together already.

nice :( Argh!!

Does anyone know how to remove the built-in TCD mount in my pic?

I have the 2022 Vado SL that includes a TCD/Garmin Mount. Initially I thought it was great. I'm using it with my Garmin Edge 530. After riding a bunch, I'm not so sure. Do you all use it? If so, any way to tighten it down more? I've found that the connection to the stem is a clip that...

After riding on the Kinekt twice now, I really like it. Doesn't totally eliminate bumps, but definitely a lot better. The bumps that I do hit now, aren't as jarring. I did have to adjust the preload, otherwise I was bouncing a lot when pedaling. I think I'm at a 4 right now. I'm using...

Got the Kinekt post. Didn't have to cut it. Here's a pic.
