I didn't have a light on my Vado seat, I've been using a small light with 5 patterns (steady, flashing) zip-tied to the back of my helmet. Not the prettiest thing, but having that light up high makes me feel better, not sure if drivers see it...

So very sorry to learn you are experiencing this, but delighted to know you're easing back into things - I can sense a smile or grin in your posts! This is a salient reminder to all of us to not take our days for granted, and try to enjoy every single one.

Hi John, I have the Bontrager Boulevard saddle size L. We all know how subjective saddle comfort is, but this one is perfect for me: just enough padding for the sit bones w/o being springy, provides excellent butt comfort and support, narrow nose for my thunderthighs. I tried a few other saddles...

Spare tube Patch kit Manual mini pump Zip ties Small bag of spare nuts, bolts, washers, aluminum spacers Basic first aid kit JIS bit set w/ 2 small drivers (one ratchets, the other is more of a traditional driver). 100% of the time works better than allen wrenches and traditional screwdrivers...

I've started visualizing this as my retirement routine as well: morning coffee, catch up on news etc., go for a ride. Now if I could just actually retire - 2 to a few more years, if plans work out! If we stay here in NC, I'll be able to do it year-round.

Absolutely beautiful! You are an artist and a superb craftsman - wow!

I am losing my mind. When I went for my daily ride today, it was 95* - but only 40% humidity. It was actually kinda nice, but much happier being inside w/ AC right now....

For those who do not use their ebikes for commuting purposes, I was curious what your daily/weekly routine is regarding riding? For example, I work from home; I cannot get up early; so I usually ride after work (after 5PM). Virtually every day, I do a 12-15mi route around our suburban hell. On...

I've used the Suntour NCX seatpost on 2 bikes now and am quite happy with it. Shopping around, you can find them for less than $100. Depending on your weight, they also offer different springs which cost ~$15. I feel relatively certain they're not as "nice" as the high-end models, but they work...

I've done around 200mi now, including a long ride in gravel yesterday. Some followup thoughts: The Suntour NCX17 seatpost + my Bontrager seat have made this bike even more comfortable. They've not changed my riding position at all, just makes it a pleasure to cover the miles with no rear end or...

Or bent pins in the PAS-to-Bolton connection.

Please get in touch with them and remind them how to fix everything. Thanks.

Dang, very sorry to hear you are unwell, but great to hear you're recovering. Take it easy and listen to the medical pros, you'll be back at it soon enough!

Appreciate this, @Saratoga Dave I was struggling with height and how much adjustability to go for, this is a huge help!

That is so cool! I spotted the owl, stopped, and tried to get close enough to snap a photo. The owl screeched and flew off to a much higher branch on another tree, so the only photo I got is bad. We have plenty of hawks around here, one brushed my shoulder as I was grilling one day - talk about...

@mattie_b this is good stuff, please keep us updated on how this works out for you! (or if you have a thread somewhere, I'll follow along) I had been looking at the Jones H bars and they seem like a great solution. I'm thinking that trying $30-$40 stem riser might be a good 1st step before...

I did a 13 mi ride yesterday to get a better feel for this bike and - I am blown away! So smooth, quiet, efficient, nimble, just an absolute treat to ride. I started out in Sport, but did almost the entire ride in Eco or with assist off (~600ft elevation changes on my ride). Haven't even tried...

I bought my directly from the Ergon website, when you find the grip you want you can select the variant (e.g. Rohloff/Nexus for Rad Owners == one regular, one short grip). They shipped from California iirc and were sent promptly.

I've been riding my Rad Rover ST for many months / 1100 mile so far and love it! However I got the urge for something different/more, and focused on torque sensored mid-drives, more of a "real bike" feel. Did all my research, narrowed my choices to what I could source locally in order to have a...

I went and rode several bikes today (obviously not the R1U Prodigy) and one of them absolutely blew me away so I bought it. 2022 Specialized Turbo Vado is in my garage and the battery is charging now! Thanks so much for all of the input and discussion.
