40 years ago we used to buy steering dampers on some of the lighter Kawasaki and Honda street bikes. Wobbles were usually weight distribution related and easily solved. Check out this video: "My Lectric XPeak High Step Wobble GONE"

High temp today 31 degrees F. Early next week it may even hit 50 so I will definitely be out on it.

Just to put this to bed if anyone is interested. An ODIER Thru Axle Adapter M12 174-1.0 (12MM,1.0 pitch,198mm total length) from Amazon works perfect.

As ridiculous as this sounds, I bought an Elite Tuo trainer for use on my Turbo Tero during the winter months leaving the motor off. The Tero has a 12x148 thru axle. The Tuo comes with a skewer and adapters which I am temporarily using but I would like to find a thru axle that would work. Has...

I have used Topeak adapters to allow swapping between bikes and had good luck with it. I also have used the MIK adapters now that one of my bikes is a Specialized.

My wife has a 2 year old Turbo Como 3. A similar issue has occurred on hers but only 2 or 3 times. Unfortunately, she only has put about 400 miles on her bike. In her case the issue occurs when first turning it on. Bike appears to power up properly but there is no pedal assist when you start...

After fighting a recurring very slow leak and subsequent flat on my Tero and blaming the Presta valves as the culprit I finally did my homework. I went through 3 tubes, none of which leaked when I put them in water to try and find the leak (at an obviously lower pressure). Looking through the...

Our current bikes are both Specialized and have extended front fenders. However, on my old Specialized Pitch 650b and my wife's Cannondale F9 I used Planet Bike Grunge Boards mounted on the down tubes in front of the pedals. They were very effective acting as a "fender extension" and keeping our...

I have a Burley Travoy which I had mounted to my seat post on my Specialized Pitch 650b. With the addition of a plastic crate, it was very effective for beach excursions (chairs, cooler, umbrella, etc.). When I switched to a Turbo Tero with 29" wheels the trailer was too close. They sold an...

I bought the Power Stance Bicycle Kickstand through Amazon. They have it is either black or silver. I bought the black for my wife's Como and the silver for my Tero. The black version costs more for whatever reason. The stock Como kickstand has an allen screw on the back but it looks like it is...

Replaced my wife's Como kickstand with a Portland Design Works kickstand. Her bike has a front rack installed which makes the front end a little unstable when parked. The kickstand swap made it much more stable.

My wife's Como 3 has the same tire. They are Specialized Pathfinder tires.

Has anyone had a problem with the new app only recording part of the ride? I thought I saw it mentioned on a thread a while ago but my search attempts ended with blanks. On my daily ride, the first 4 miles and last 4 miles are the same just in opposite directions with about a 7-mile loop in...

I had a similar problem with the OEM seat on my Turbo Tero 3. I switched to a Selle Royal which provided some relief. I looked at noseless saddles but could not make the jump. My wife bought a Como 3 which came with a 200 mm body geometry seat. I finally took the time to measure what I needed...

Does this count. We use this at our summer home to get around town. At least it charges on 115 Vac. Unfortunately we are limited to streets that are 35 mph or less. Also, the trip there is too far to make an EV practical but at least we save gas while we are there.

I spend some of my time on the trails and mounting the mirror outward was definitely a problem. Underneath and inward is the best set up for me on a Turbo Tero. It provides a clear rearward view under my arm. Obviously, this depends on your seating position. My wife's Como has a very upright...

Not that this suggestion will be worth much.... I am 68 and my wife is 55 and we both bought Specialized Turbos. Mine is a Tero and hers is a Como 3. She had elbow surgery last year and needed an upright seating position and not a lot of weight on her arms. The bike is very comfortable for her...

Looks like a common theme for us old guys. My cancer diag was one of the reasons I switched from my Pitch 650b to an electric. I thought it would help me get more riding time. Only on hormones for 6 months but I did get the hot flashes, start crying at the movies my wife was watching, and...

I have had good luck with my 515 as well. The range is definitely over 100 yards and it seems to accurately distinguish multiple vehicles. The light blinking when vehicles approach also makes you more noticeable. Although I mount my phone to the handlebars, I can easily feel the vibration alerts...

Although I split time on my Tero 3 between trails and the street, I did purchase a Garmin radar for when I am in traffic (long story for another time about being hit twice, riding on the wrong side, arguments with real cyclists, and finally caving). However, I noticed an issue with the new...
