If you break your mount, and/or want to lower the light some more. I used a combo of these two aluminum pieces from Amazon. I changed out the thumbscrew for a regular hex screw, but that isn't shown in the pic: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CWR1ZML https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09KXW41G3

I didn't really like using microtune on my recent rides. I was using either 35 eco or 60 sport most of the time. Then this past weekend I was riding my SL 5.0 with my son, who was on my old Cannondale Quick Carbon 2. He's 20 years old. I found Microtune really helped keeping my pace...

Can you feel the difference between 40/50 and 65/75? Also wondering if there is a big difference between 40/40, 65/65 and what you had? I'm playing around with my numbers and thinking maybe 30/55 and 60/85

I was thinking about it when I was riding today (you have a lot of time to think while riding). What I would really like is some way of having a constant total output power, no matter how much work I am doing.... Set it for total output power of 200w. I set it for 250w. I ride between...

Definitely going to try this next time.

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.
