Bike companies are dropping like flies right now. :oops:

Haha well I don't know the exact cause of the fault yet, but I would say the UK is generally a wetter country than Poland. You certainly experience more extremes in weather but overall the UK has more rainfall. The past year has been particularly good - and not really representative of the...

Looks like you need external circlip pliers to remove the circlip... You can buy them cheaply online. The chainring should then pull off.

Thanks Rás! I think its the internal battery that's the fault - or perhaps wiring between it and the controller. When I plug in my Range Extender the bike works as you'd expect. But disconnect the RE and nothing happens. This is an intermittent fault too. It started last week, but has now...

Thought I'd just update this thread to say my Vado SL is going back to the bike shop... The issue I had with it not turning on has happened again, in fact this is the third time, so I'm going to let the Dealer/Specialized sort it out. Obviously something is amiss and I can't have this kind of...

I like a bigger screen but after watching the review I'm glad I opted for the Garmin 1050. Not sure if this was worth waiting for! :)

The reviews speak highly of them! Road.cc rated a 9 out of 10, so I have high hopes. Plus I purchased them during the Black Friday sales so they were 40% off! My only issue was not considering this when I purchased the Speedrockers. I had a wet backside after last night's ride so the...

Glad to hear this Rás, I've just ordered the Speedrockers yesterday!... and a few days ago I ordered some Continental Terra Speed (40C) gravel tyres for extra grip on the muddy/gravel paths... Gives me some confidence that they might fit! :)

Chinglish is my favourite type of English! :) This video tries to explain the intricacies. 😂

That's true!... :D Some people say English is easy to learn... But they are so wrong. We have included tricks to test Britishness. 😂

SKS is German and they correctly call them mudguards! Fenders belong on boats! On British cars "Fenders" are called Wings, and the rear "Wing" is called a Spoiler - don't ask me about that, I don't make the rules... 😄

Be mindful that it's not advised to charge lithium batteries below freezing. You can damage the battery chemistry, which may reduce the capacity even further. I'd be tempted to put it in a top-tube case, one with a mobile phone pocket - and then try to insulate it from the cold as best as...

The answer could be a bit of both, depending on the age of your Garmin and how often you've used it on previous occasions. It may already have a reduced capacity. You can then lose a further 20-50% of your available battery capacity by using it in below-freezing temps.

Interesting, but I'm not sure what the answer is to that one, it seems to defy convention! I can only assume the hand of god has helped you... like it helped Diego Maradona during the 1986 football match against England. :D

I went down a rabbit hole watching British Pathé videos on Youtube. It was a different world! Fascinating watching it back today! :)

Guys, I can only assume the production of the Vado SL 1 ended in 2022. My bike was advertised as a 2024 model when I bought it but it's not. As noted on a frame sticker it's actually 2022. Which ties in with what @Jeremy McCreary and @DaDitka have said. Not a big issue, the bike works fine and...

Ah right gotcha, you must have added that while I was writing my reply! :D Annoying! I'm out of suggestions! :(

I deleted my original comment, because I read the thread again after commenting, and thought to myself Jeremy had tried Dark Mode, making my earlier comment irrelevant, but thinking again I'm not so sure... @Jeremy McCreary forgive me if I'm wrong, but it sounds like you're looking for the...

It's worth investing in a proper GPS computer. They are quite expensive but you can pick up some good deals on eBay. I bought a new Garmin to record rides on. Still, I used the specialized app a couple of weeks ago and it failed to record the route properly - capturing just a few points I...

5 arm spider! :)
