G'day Stefan Once again, thank you for sharing, wonderful help👍 Tracer Pro description on the Specialized webpage supports your observations. Given that I intend to remove the front guard, should I consider the 42mm for the front?

G'day Jeremy My FutureShock was quite springy, I was surprised to find the 3 springs in the kit. I removed the top from the FutureShock, a hole large enough in which to place one of the 3 springs. I chose to install the lightest spring, an improvement, in my opinion, better control, not as...

Specialized could offer a custom, special order 320 Wh battery option across the entire Vado 2 range, a genuine SL for the luddites😎

I purchased a new discounted SL 5.0 this week. No regrets for me. The SL 6.0 would have been out of my price range too. I have not used my SL e-xercise bike with motor assist. I found the SL easy enough to pedal without motor assist, despite quite significant head winds, so no opinion on the...

Me too. Until I try an indoor trainer, probably with Zwift to alleviate the boredom, I won't know. However it may be preferable to several other forced indoor activities! I do enjoy getting out for a ride on the SL e-bike (SL E-xercise-Bike) I haven't used the motor yet! Thank you Stefan 👍

Thank you Stefan, priceless 👍 I would prefer to keep the rear rack, guard and light, so 38mm is an easy decision. S-Works Tracer/Tracer Pro 2Bliss or Pathfinder Pro in 2Bliss? I opened the Tool Kit that came with the SL this afternoon, found 3 small, colour coded springs. I didn't realise...

Stefan, do you think there may be a suspension/ride cushioning type advantage/benefit with the slightly wider 42mm Pathfinders Pro vs the 38mm? After yesterdays wheel stopping incident, picking up a few sticks and leaves and long grass which all lodged somewhere between the front guard and...

I thought an indoor trainer would allow me to maintain fitness if I am unable to ride outside for several days?

Anyone here using a Wahoo Kickr indoor trainer with an e-bike? Thinking about hiring a Wahoo Kickr or similar. I have never used a Wahoo Kickr or an indoor trainer, thought it may be beneficial for those days where I don’t manage to get out for a ride. Waste of time with an e-bike? Use...

Trigger Pro 2Bliss are not listed on the Specialized Australia webpage.

Thank you.

A picture of the type of gravel roads I will be riding on.

First ride on my new Specialized Turbo Vado SL. It was slowly becoming harder and harder to pedal on a very slight uphill gravel path. Front wheel skidded to a stop, locked solid. Looked over the bars, discovered this! Maybe Stefan was right, I may have to loose the guards, rear light and rack.

For gravel roads, bush tracks, rail trails and a small amount of concrete and bitumen, maybe the Tracer Pro would be the better option over the Pathfinder for on the Vado SL?

👍

Thank you Stefan. Appreciate the detail.. I have not purchased. Undecided, Creo or Vado SL. In Australia I haven't found the Vado SL for sale in the non EQ version. If I do purchase, I will probably remove the mud guards. Regards Robert

Why not remove the centre lug from the 3 lug end?

Question for the enlightened ones. Will 700x47c Pathfinder Pro or Tracer Pro 2Bliss Ready tyres fit on a Turbo Vado SL 5? Thank you in advance.
