    Specialized Vado Turbo SL 5.0 EQ - please help confirm my choice!

    My 2021 S-works Creo has a 10-50 cassette. It doesn’t look like that’s available now, but the Evo versions have a 11-50. Of course, the Evo has a dropper seatpost and gravel handlebars, which may not be desired. I have 42 Pathfinder Pro’s, tubeless, and have been very happy with them, aside...

    Trek Allant+ 8S front wheel not centered

    Oops, my bad, and I should have known that too!

    Trek Allant+ 8S front wheel not centered

    If you install the wheel with the bike upside down, it’s very easy for this to happen. If that’s the case, try orienting it upright, and applying a bit of pressure to the handlebars as you tighten the axle.

    3 speed problem

    I would think there are multiple potential causes, but first I think a little clarification is in order. Are you referring to changing assist modes, or shifting gears? If it’s the assist modes, I can’t be if any help. If it’s the gearing, the first thing I’d check is whether the cable needs to...

    Possible Lectric Regret

    Agreed! My wife wanted an ebike, but I knew she’d not ride often, so I didn’t want to spend a lot of money. I bought her a Rad bike, and within 30 miles the controller failed (fortunately, at the beginning of a ride, near my truck). Rad’s customer service was great, and I was ultimately able to...

    You must have Mastermind. Earlier models cannot be updated by the user.

    Firmware update for charging limit

    I have a confession to make; I haven’t ridden since October. I’m not sure which I dislike more while riding at speed, cold or rain, but we get too much of both for me. I stick to walking my dog in the winter. 😊 The good news is I’ve been working out at the gym in preparation for Spring. Oh, and...

    Firmware update for charging limit

    It’s optional. I’ll continue charging to 100%, so I don’t suffer from range anxiety. Same reason I often carry the range extender needlessly. 😊

    What Flashing Tail Light are Members Using?

    I use the Garmin Varia as well. It’s a bummer that you’re getting false alarms. I bought mine last Spring, and have never noticed a false alarm. I’m not sure how long the battery lasts….my longest rides are never over about 4 hours of actual riding, and rarely more than about 2 hours if on...

    Specialized S-Works Creo SL 2021

    Well, that sucks! How many miles did you have on each of your motors before they failed?

    New Firmware for multiple bikes. Only updatable via the bike shop

    I’ve not had my Creo updated yet, as I’ve been reluctant for this very reason. I did have my Allant+ updated when Bosch released an update that significantly increased the torque, as I thought that would be worthwhile (and it was, due to the bike’s weight). Ironically, the Allant+ sits in my...

    Front page LA Times today regarding Ebikes

    Says the man who would know! That was quite a story, and I loved how it was settled.

    Best Rock Ever? Nominations, No Air Supply!

    The same type of irrelevant threads are also popping up on my favorite boating site recently. It’s winter, it’s been raining a LOT on the U.S. west coast, and some of us have too much downtime. 😊 By the way, I drove by a local casino yesterday, and saw they’re advertising an upcoming Air Supply...

    Anything new for 2023 with Trek ebikes?

    Uhh, this is kind of a big deal. There are less expensive versions as well. https://www.trekbikes.com/us/en_US/bikes/road-bikes/performance-road-bikes/domane/domane-slr/domane-slr-9/p/36742/?colorCode=black_grey

    Best Rock Ever? Nominations, No Air Supply!

    Haha! I remember skipping school and playing pinball with House of the Rising Sun playing on the jukebox. Fond memories! 🙂

    Beware Clean Air Zones Coming

    Yeah, one step toward the social credit system. Fortunately, I’m old and will likely be gone before it’s fully instituted. 😂

    Beware Clean Air Zones Coming

    I’m looking at new trucks currently, and planning on pulling the trigger soon. I considered an EV, but decided it’s too soon for me. Hopefully an ICE vehicle won’t bite me in the ass in 5 years, but I really think I’ll be just fine. One thing I know is that the infrastructure wouldn’t satisfy my...

    Best Rock Ever? Nominations, No Air Supply!

    Ok, no Led Zeppelin, but that’s still a solid list! I like your musical taste. Like @DaveMatthews said, it’s subjective as heck anyway.

    Best Rock Ever? Nominations, No Air Supply!

    Best? That would be either the Beatles, as they were the most innovative band ever and were constantly changing it up, or Led Zeppelin, who took the blues to another level. Like the Beatles, Led Zeppelin did a lot of musical experimentation, often bringing in the sounds of various cultures...

    New Firmware for multiple bikes. Only updatable via the bike shop

    I haven’t had the update done on my Creo yet, but I’ve never experienced a power loss as you’ve described.
