    Rear view mirror - bar end

    The nice part about this particular accessory is the cost to try both the Mirrcycle and the Hafny to determine which you like best is not going to break the bank.

    Rear view mirror - bar end

    Yes. Right or left, above or below the bars.

    Rear view mirror - bar end

    I've had great success with the Hafny Bar End mirror - very stable, very clear, and the "mirror" is polished stainless so can't break. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N76AJKF

    With 125% tariffs, will the e-bike market die?

    Not a vast majority. There are almost 245 million eligible voters in the U.S. A little more than 155 million voted in the 2024 election which equates to about 58% who are eligible actually voted. Margin of victory was about 1.5%

    Turbo Como IGH, Como SL IGH & Vado IGH Chain Guard Recall

    They took months to come up with a fix as the stop-sale has been since late '24. Thanks for posting.

    Stop sale on Como IGH models?

    I got more info from my LBS - the issue is that apparently a piece of the cover can become caught in the drive. They have been waiting 5 months for Specialized to either provide a replacement part or recall the unsold units. My LBS has 2 on hand but legally can't sell them. It only is for the...

    Seth prefers Schrader valves

    I use Fillmore valves - an improvement on the original presta, but expensive. I too am in the Schrader camp unless on a narrow wheeled road bike. Call me a cheapo idiot, but I'm considering converting to Schrader on all my emtb's

    Specialized Turbo Vado SL – Safety Recall for Chain Guard?

    True. The U.S. is overly litigious - too much money to be made by personal injury attorneys - I've had others in non-USA countries indicate these are available to sell.

    Specialized Turbo Vado SL – Safety Recall for Chain Guard?

    In regard to the original post - I've been wanting to buy a Como IGH for my wife but more than one of my LBS has told me there is a stop sale on the IGH models and are waiting on Specialized for a remedy - it apparently is regarding chain guard (belt guard in the case of IGH models). They didn't...

    Need Recommendation For A Lift To Work On Our Two Heavy Ebikes

    While not a low-cost option, I was tired of lifting my 5 different emtb's onto the Park stand, so I bit the bullet and invested in one of these: https://www.remcotools.com/ Life if soooo good when working on the bikes.

    Stop sale on Como IGH models?

    I spoke to another (different) LBS (in Arizona, USA) and they too said their was a "stop sale" on the IGH models and said it has something to do with the chain guard (belt guard) and was waiting on word and remedy from Specialized. I also came across this on Reddit from someone who sounds...

    Stop sale on Como IGH models?

    Terrific! Be sure to post up your experience with them! Interestingly, I checked with my LBS today and the stop-sale is still in effect - must be something specific to the U.S.

    Stop sale on Como IGH models?

    Have you received word on your order?

    Is AMFLOW The Thing Or Just A Hype?

    I for one will be buying an Amflow when they arrive in the USA and selling my Levo and my Trek Fuel EXE as to the point made earlier, it is the best of both worlds (arguably far better as the torque is so much greater than the Levo with the weight of the Fuel)

    Stop sale on Como IGH models?

    A few weeks ago I was in my LBS asking about the Como IGH models as I'm considering getting one for my wife and they told me there was a "stop sale" on them (sounds like something with the crank or crank guard but they weren't specific) no known timeframe for remedy and to allow for sale. Has...

    A new Vado 5.0 with Como 5.0 handlebars-an experiment

    Good to hear you are still happy with your setup. I'm building my Vado out now - Kinikt 50degree stem, Como bars, finding the brake lines (particularly the rear) is a tight fit - particularly concerned when near full left - most likely not an issue when riding, but I'm going to see if I can find...
