A visit at a Specialized dealer seems to be necessary...

I once replaced the Bridge Sport with something else but returned to the stock saddle soon. It is even better than the expensive Specialized Phenom Expert I use on my other e-bike! Meaning, your Vado SL is very well fit to your body! Besides, I had a chance to ride a Vado SL 2 6.0 EQ. I might...

This is what happens to a wheel that had been regularly overloaded for 3 years :) Yes, that wheel only had 28 spokes. I had to order building a new 32 spoke wheel based on a 150 kg weight limit, ASME class 4, DT Swiss H522 rim, a DT Swiss 350 rear hub and DT Swiss spokes as selected by an...

It is a known glitch feature of all Garmin Edge computers. You can install a Garmin app by name "E-Bike Field" by Jan Capek. There is a configuration text file that allows you mapping the assist mode numbers onto user defined names such as ECO or SPORT. Remember the Vado SL might have these...

I tried many of them (especially the wide and soft Selle Royal). Developed skin issues as the aftermath. After 3 years of suffering I removed stem risers from all my e-bikes. Modified my e-bikes to assume a more forward position. In other words, I could fit my e-bikes myself. I was explained by...

Added a Mirrycle Replaced the grips with SQlab Innerbarends 410/402 and the integrated 710 grips size Small (136.8 mm). (If I wanted to keep the existing grip then SQlab Innerbarends 411 alone could be used) Replaced the stem with Redshift ShockStop 100 mm installed at -6 deg and pretty low on...

A wide saddle is chafing your inner parts of thighs, and groins.

This sign only informs you that you are entering a built-up area so you need to observe the respective driving rules :) For instance, driving on the right :D :D :D

A more forward riding position shifts a big deal of the body weight not only on the wrists but also on the feet. Currently, 248 guys ride a 1,400 km long race in Atlas Mountains in Morocco. Ask them how they can sit on the saddle for such a long time. A softer and wider saddle is not only...

I rode to see Magda on Saturday. The weather itself was as nasty as it only could be. 0 degrees Celsius; the mist was condensing all the time, making my goggles wet and reducing the visibility. At times, I was meeting dangerous stretches of frozen snow forming ruts. Bleh! The mist was as...

@mcdenny: The geometry of your Vado SL 2 is just ideal. You've just got used to the upright riding position with your Como but Como is a totally different bike type! I can understand you feel you must ride more upright (and the stem riser setup has been already agreed) but trust me, your...

As all this is true, I think the picture is a way more complicated. You all can remember the "pandemic bubble" that brought so many brands to their collapse. Specialized was not any different and it took the brand several years to sell the stock. For instance, a friend of mine could buy one of...

Interesting... All Vado SL 2 5.0 have been removed from the Polish website of Specialized while two models of SL 2 4.0 have been added...

I'm so happy McDenny with your happiness! Many safe rides! P.S. What is the exact model? What is the colour name?

Somewhere in Mazovia, Poland :)

Please explain how it is done, step by step. It is never too late for me to learn! P.S. While Wahoo 3 has become similar to Garmin, Wahoo has always been a phone controlled device. Garmin has learnt the lesson and now you can -- for instance -- configure your Garmin from the smartphone: only...

32 spokes per wheel does not make this e-bike any different from many similar e-bikes re the Total System Weight limit :) What you, however, can do is to order 36 spoke wheels with good hubs and strong rims. Remember that the rear wheel magnet must be moved there, too. DT Swiss components are...

@Jeremy McCreary: From Carlsbad to La Jolla (20 miles of cycleways one way!) You can download this GPX and send it to your ACE. Or, just use the Wahoo's routing features :)

It is, and it is lovely! Episode 4. I can send you a GPX of what Komoot thinks is a safe route :)

@Jeremy McCreary: Fancy a ride to La Jolla, a couple of photos there then back? Just 50 miles round trip :) (Watching "The Lincoln Lawyer" season 4 on Netflix) :)
