    2026 - Our Rides in Words, Photos, Maps and Videos

    I let my riding partner Tommy have a look in this thread (his passive English understanding is good). Then he asked me to tell him something of some notable members. I described you Rab as a "Scot who rides for a hundred miles or more" :)

    Turbo Vado 3

    I've been in the internet fora long enough to make a difference between a casual off-topic talk and a direct attack. For instance: Could you share your opinion about the Vado 3? If yes, most welcome. If not, it is an unaware continuation of the flame war.

    Easy way to clean rotors.

    A simple automotive brake cleaning spray means several seconds of work and excellent results.

    I'm very interested in your experience! In case one of my Specialized e-bikes becomes unusable or stolen, I consider a purchase of a Vado SL 2! :)

    Turbo Vado 3

    Explaining for once and for good. One What you are doing now Stomp is a "flame war". (You might not be aware what it is because of your age and limited Internet experience). This thread is about Specialized Turbo Vado 3 and only about this e-bike. While I dislike the direction taken by...

    Metric Conversion Speed Trick, 20 to 28mph

    A speed derestrictor is an easier solution, and the data reported on the display are correct. Just saying :) As @RunForTheHills said, the actual speed achieved depends on the motor power but also on the e-bike type. A drop handlebar is aero and facilitates hitting the high speed while the flat...

    Signs of Spring

    "April Is A Weaver It Weaves Some Summer With Some Winter" - a famous Polish saying. Yesterday, we had a lovely Spring day. Today, I've taken flower pots from the balcony indoor to protect them against the night frost... Funny to think last Spring was very warm starting in March, and I was...

    Elektroza Nieporętoza (A NON-Gravel Group Ride) :) As we accepted my long time friend Makenzen (Joanna) into our riding group, and she rides a recumbent bike on 25 mm tyres, I promised our ad hoc ride would avoid riding gravel or terrain at any cost! Weather: warm (16 C), sunny, hardly any wind...

    Turbo Vado 3

    Novelty e-bikes on EBR Forum such as Pinion.MGU, Salsa Tributary or DJU Avinox have own threads in the General section. Our friend the Apostle felt a real anger when I pointed out he was usually first to talk about the Latest & Greatest in such threads but he never bought one, keeping all...

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

    A Kaputt Range Extender? I experienced the most strange phenomenon on our group ride yesterday. I was riding on the main batter and one of my REs labelled "ENG" (by me). At some ride point, the main battery dropped to 7% but the RE got stuck at 49%: both were reported on Wahoo, so the RE was...

    Korboloza Grodziskoza :) I and Tommy were very pleased when we -- upon leaving Grodzisk Mazowiecki train station -- met two other guys: Gujos and Dominik. Gujos was together with me on two group rides I had organised while Dominik was his best friend. Both guys were riding excellent gravel...

    The issue with carbon wheels is they have a rather low maximum system weight allowed. These also often come with fewer spokes, all to save their weight.

    Yes, he could create a separate thread like many he made before.
