re: "Resale of ebikes is concerning", I recently saw a 2021Vado SL 5.0 for $2,195 with 10 miles on it. ( https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/6233007700068615/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A44807224-0619-438c-a9b4-97f0172c6e9b ) I have to...

Exactly. I notice the very same thing after I wax my car :)

So last week the Dr. said to use Duo Derm pads..I did, made it worse. Today, Dermatologist said to use Cortisone thin layer with Desitin over that. Not sure that is sound advice, as Cortisone thins the skin. Next stop, Sports Medicine doctor. In the meantime, have to restrict bike riding :(

I used to have a girlfriend years ago, who was a 'hard ass'. Hows that workin' for ya?

Me too (6-8 seats in the basement). I did 35 miles yesterday, and today I'm going to put back some of the previous seats, as all of the adjustments, etc., made the ride(s) more improved, but the irritation of the chafing/sore is increased with the new Specialized Mirror seat. If I remember...

Well, I got the "fix", keep ya' all posted.

Also, got this to try as suggested, came today. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001GSOKGA?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

About what? The advice or the seat?

Well, I went to the MD today, he looked at my ass. He said I had "a stage 1 compression wound in the lower buttocks area above the thigh from the bike seat abrasion", and suggested not to ride until healed as well as to use a 'DuoDERM CGF Sterile Self-Adhesive Hydrocolloid Dressing' to...

Never pursued it, however I got another trunk bag to experiment with.....thanks for waking me up

RE:What about your "armpit test"? I had to raise the seat about 1", made a BIG difference! Also moved the seat back similar to where yours is, also, adjusted the Kinekt seat post tension to '#4' similar to yours, and tilted it a bit more flat than it previously was. All in all, much better, did...

"Specialized doesn't sell touch-up paint because of counterfeit concerns" PLEASE, provide me some validation to that statement, as it's befuddling.

So, is the general consensus of the end result of this discussion that no matter what, it's all a pain in the ass?

So my "book" measure is 30" (762 mm or 76.2 cm), if I add the 0.5 - 1 cm for the seat post sag, I fall within the medium size. I'll do the 'armpit measurement in a bit.

Oh my, It may be time to consider packing it in. Woe is me. :(

Can’t use a dropper post without giving up the Kinect seat post. Right?

Or.......it might be time for a Tero X 6.0 :)

So, I just watched the "How to Perform a Simple Bike Fit (at Home)" on Cam Nicholls YouTube channel. The big challenge is to find someone in the local area with similar skill to perform the items shown and discussed. Obviously, my previous "fitter" was not even close. Anyone have anybody in...

I've been riding steadily for about 6 years now on different e-bikes. Before that, it might have been well over 50 years ago when I was on a bike. So.....if some true-blue real deal YouTube video exists that "tells it like it is", that would be a great contribution here, about the varied...

I apologize if this discussion deviates from the "Specialized Forum" discussions about the 'brand'. However, regardless, it sure seems to have fired up a lot of interest, response, opinion, suggestions, etc. So hopefully, it might ultimately have a silver lining, if we all come away from here...
