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

    Just demo ride a pedal-only Chisel, Rockhopper or Epic to find it out quite impractical :) (I think Karl showed an S-Works Epic World Cup).

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

    Nah... What would you need an XC e-bike for? For what purpose?

    BLEVO does not display OFF assist

    Cycle: I have tested it thoroughly on my Gen 1 Vado SL with BLEvo. Whichever way I was switching the pedal assistance off (the TCU or the handlebar remote), BLEvo displayed OFF on the monitor. It might be some strange incompatibility between your Creo and the app. Android or iPhone?

    No no, Ed. I rode with my friend Tommy (the big guy). My skinny brother Jacek (orange jacket) was a part of the relay race. The things have developed greatly overnight! Here are some details. The actual rules of the MOSTy (BRIDGEs) 500 GRVL Relay Race are as follows: There is a 37.5 km long...

    BLEVO does not display OFF assist

    Can you cycle your Creo into the OFF mode by any other method such as the TCU?

    Wahoo ELEMNT Ace (on Specialized E-Bikes)

    Specialized adds to 150% but Garmin can only see the main battery. Wahoo reports Main/Extender as 100/100. It might be a glitch or a bug related to Mastermind. I'm gonna test it in January.

    Wahoo ELEMNT Ace (on Specialized E-Bikes)

    Strange. You never pay Wahoo for the membership. You have paid it by buying the device. Everything works for me! Are you sure your ELEMNT has the proper WiFi connection data to your home network? You see Jeremy. The only difference between your and my situation is your Mastermind e-bike does...

    Wahoo ELEMNT Ace (on Specialized E-Bikes)

    Chris, as I own both a Garmin Edge and have owned four different Wahoo ELEMNT computers, I can give you all the answers. Not really. Your Garmin shows three sensors: Power, Speed/Cadence and E-Bike. Wahoo detects all three of them but immediately combines them all into a single apparent sensor...

    Guys, now it has happened. Heavily snowing and black ice expected for the night rides of Jacek! I've prepared my Schwalbe Marathon Winter Plus 50-622 tyres; he arrives at 21:00 and we are going to install the tyres on his wider gravel rims. Whatever, my brother's gonna survive the night!

    Chris! It was 0 C (perceived -6 C), humid, windy, some part of the trail was frozen, the Vistula was frozen too, yet I and Tommy have successfully completed our MOSTy 500 GRVL lap :) Don't be a pussy :) Be a fighter! So I achieved my yearly goal of 7500 km this year today :) BRIDGEs GRVL LAP...

    I'd say it is more frustrating Bosch has not and will not provide ANT+

    Wahoo ELEMNT Ace (on Specialized E-Bikes)

    It's bad... I must do an independent test of the Mastermind/ACE after I return from London in January. I'm really sorry for your bad experience, Jeremy! What about the LEV Travel Range data? ETA has never been a Wahoo feature, sorry. There's something related to the tyre size that you might...

    i do. And many other people. In fact, this is called "adventure" or gravel cycling.

    What is problematic, however, is a single 45Nrth Wratchild Fat Tire (studded) is around two hundred and fifty bucks :) A lot less expensive for narrower studded tyres :) The price of a good studded fat tire somehow defeats owning an inexpensive fattie, eh :)

    Black Ice But On Studded Winter Tyres As I woke up at 2 p.m. the first message read: "Have you installed your studded tyres yet?" it was from Jacek -- "Should I?" -- "There's black ice everywhere" -- "Thank you, installing"; followed by a message from Tommy: "Not riding today. Black ice...
