Ok. So rode about 32 miles today. I have a Turbo Vado SL 5.0 with a Garmin Edge 840 latest firmware. I also was using a range extender. So started out with 150% battery on specialized (100% on Garmin). I was riding almost 100% at 60/100 assist. On my Garmin, shift advice wasn't working...

Ok. So now I'm down the rabbit hole. I didn't even know Garmin had Smart Range, Travel Range and shifting advice on the edge computer. So now I have that enabled and displayed. I'll have to see how it works with both my Specialized and Giant ebikes. See how it compares to the range shown...

I like the screen with the battery, time and mode on top. Can't do that with 2 statistics

I didn't realize I could display range. I changed the odometer to range. Will see how accurate it is.

I've had some of those pumps in the past. Last time I used one was 20 years ago. Too much of a hassle and too much space. I'm definitely anti-manual pump. CO2 was ok, but always had to carry a few carts, because if you messed up inflating it, you were stuck. The e-pump is very small...

I'm tubeless already. 44mm thundero tires. I run them at 40 psi. I tried without clipless but most of the muscle/nerve damage I have is on the inside part of my left leg. I tend to man-spread. Without clipless, my leg tends to fall off the pedal.

Now that Trek has embraced the mini electric battery powered tired pump trend with their Air Rush, will Specialized follow? Seems like everyone is split 50/50 with some people loving it and others complaining about it. The ebike vs non-ebike debated, or disc brakes vs rim brakes, etc... I...

I'm a long torso, short leg guy with a medium frame SL 5.0 (non-step through). I have nerve damage in my left leg from multiple back surgeries about 10 years ago. Add to that, an ankle that was broken severely in my right ankle 2 years ago and I do have some issues. I tend to get on and off...

FYI.. Chatted with Specialized support, because I was annoyed that I still can't see firmware status or possible updates via the specialized app. They said it was coming in the new version of the app sometime soon (last year). Same story last week. They are working on it. argh..ah well..

Supposedly 16kg

So. They changed the phone app over a year ago. Since that time I have no idea if there are any firmware updates for the SL1. The last one I know of, is the 80% battery firmware. Anything new? Maybe this is the reason, they took updates off the app? So we would just stick with what we...

Yeah. Pretty lightweight too.

Anyone tried the Cannondale Tesoro Neo Carbon 1 or 2? Seems like a similar/updated bike to the Vado SL 1. Better motor and frame, but no suspension. Bosch Sprint motor.

I saw the SL 2 4.0 at a local bike shop today. I really didn't like it. The extra weight. 10 speed. The black cover over the chain. The big tubes. It looks like a grocery bike rather than a road/gravel/adventure bike. I looked around the internet and seems like the Santa Cruz Skitch and...

Too cold here right now!!

Stefan, Have you ever thought of working for a Specialized dealer? I bet you could sell a lot of Turbos! 😀

100/100.

Yes

Stefan, I know you love your Wahoo. I really like Garmin. So I'm not going to argue which is better, because they are both good devices. I use it on an SL. It is possible to configure data screens from a smart phone. At least the screens I use. I do get all the data from my bikes...

I'd recommend a Garmin 840. Don't get the 540, as the newer Garmin OS really is better with Touchscreen. I use a Garmin 840 and previous to that a Garmin 530. The 840 is also faster at doing many things than the 530/830. From Stefan's list that I disagree with about Garmin computers...
