    Will Specialized come out with a mini electric pump like Trek?

    I've had some of those pumps in the past. Last time I used one was 20 years ago. Too much of a hassle and too much space. I'm definitely anti-manual pump. CO2 was ok, but always had to carry a few carts, because if you messed up inflating it, you were stuck. The e-pump is very small...

    SL 2 Step-Thru

    I'm tubeless already. 44mm thundero tires. I run them at 40 psi. I tried without clipless but most of the muscle/nerve damage I have is on the inside part of my left leg. I tend to man-spread. Without clipless, my leg tends to fall off the pedal.

    Will Specialized come out with a mini electric pump like Trek?

    Now that Trek has embraced the mini electric battery powered tired pump trend with their Air Rush, will Specialized follow? Seems like everyone is split 50/50 with some people loving it and others complaining about it. The ebike vs non-ebike debated, or disc brakes vs rim brakes, etc... I...

    SL 2 Step-Thru

    I'm a long torso, short leg guy with a medium frame SL 5.0 (non-step through). I have nerve damage in my left leg from multiple back surgeries about 10 years ago. Add to that, an ankle that was broken severely in my right ankle 2 years ago and I do have some issues. I tend to get on and off...

    Specialized Turbo Vado SL: An Incredible E-Bike (User Club)

    FYI.. Chatted with Specialized support, because I was annoyed that I still can't see firmware status or possible updates via the specialized app. They said it was coming in the new version of the app sometime soon (last year). Same story last week. They are working on it. argh..ah well..

    Specialized Turbo Vado SL: An Incredible E-Bike (User Club)

    So. They changed the phone app over a year ago. Since that time I have no idea if there are any firmware updates for the SL1. The last one I know of, is the 80% battery firmware. Anything new? Maybe this is the reason, they took updates off the app? So we would just stick with what we...

    Vado SL 2 Alloy version released

    Anyone tried the Cannondale Tesoro Neo Carbon 1 or 2? Seems like a similar/updated bike to the Vado SL 1. Better motor and frame, but no suspension. Bosch Sprint motor.

    Vado SL 2 Alloy version released

    I saw the SL 2 4.0 at a local bike shop today. I really didn't like it. The extra weight. 10 speed. The black cover over the chain. The big tubes. It looks like a grocery bike rather than a road/gravel/adventure bike. I looked around the internet and seems like the Santa Cruz Skitch and...

    Stefan, Have you ever thought of working for a Specialized dealer? I bet you could sell a lot of Turbos! 😀

    Garmin Questions

    Stefan, I know you love your Wahoo. I really like Garmin. So I'm not going to argue which is better, because they are both good devices. I use it on an SL. It is possible to configure data screens from a smart phone. At least the screens I use. I do get all the data from my bikes...

    Garmin Questions

    I'd recommend a Garmin 840. Don't get the 540, as the newer Garmin OS really is better with Touchscreen. I use a Garmin 840 and previous to that a Garmin 530. The 840 is also faster at doing many things than the 530/830. From Stefan's list that I disagree with about Garmin computers...

    2025 Vado

    Drilling a hole for the kinekt is pretty easy. I even had Kinekt do it for me. So I wouldn't say "Don't".

    The GX AXS Skitch with the Rudy fork looks really good.

    Vado SL 2 Carbon LTD premiered today!

    I've seen some people do that. Didn't seem worth it, but if you look at the Creo (and Canyon like above), seems like you can get a better drop bar bike, for a better price than the Vado SL2. Removed my questions. Don't want to hijack this thread. May start a new thread for it. Has...

    Vado SL 2 Carbon LTD premiered today!

    My neighbor just got a Canyon Grizl:ON CF 9. If only I could use a drop bar bike. I wish the SL2 was like this Canyon but flatbar. Also same price range. I really like that the Canyon has seat suspension and a real suspension in the fork. Also still only weighs 35 lbs. And AXS that...
