Great to hear you had enough cable.

That and the front rack can't mount the turbo basket unless it is backward (yes I tried reversing the mik plate adaptor).

Yes, I tried and no it won’t work. What will work is mounting the headlight to the handlebar or cutting the headlight cable and splicing in 4" inches or so.

Before I cut my headlight wire to extend it... I did use a rubber band to attach the headlight to the handlebars. Which did work. Other than that you have to cut and splice in wire to extend the headlight.

I received the front rack with the adventure plate today. Indeed, the front light cable is too short by a good 4 inches so I cut the cable and spliced an extension cable in. I decided to mount my front light upside down so that it wouldn't interfere with cargo that could protrude beyond the...

I just pulled apart the front light on my 2022 Vado 4.0 and there might be enough slack in the cable. Does anyone know what the internal cable routes look like inside the frame? Where the cable for the light terminates? I don't want to pull too hard but I'd say I got a good 12" extra length...

I think those photos are photoshopped and if not they clearly show that if the fork compresses it will damage the light and/or the rack. Indeed, there is not enough slack in the cable. I just ordered it.

I think I am ordering it (99% there)... trying to see if I have enough cable to extent the front light. I have the vado 4.0 and it looks like the fork light mount is moved and inverted to attach to the front frack. I need to take some measurements... but I could always splice in a cable...

I literally just got this txt (I am in the USA). Specialized Bicycle Components: Hi something you've been eyeing is back in stock. Snag it now before it sells out: Front Rack & Adventure Plate https://klv6.io/0/5MttDP

I agree with virtually everything that has been said. I ride alot. I charge to 100% every single time. I know it does degrade the battery faster but I honestly don’t care. The bike mechanic was likely hedging bets that you will not ride your ebike as much as you think you will (most don’t) so he...

Indeed. Yesterday I rode to my local dispensary and there was a bicycle already locked to the rack by the main door. So I rode to the front of the building which has more racks and also faces a busy street and has a bar with an open patio within 7' of the racks (with people around). When I...

I have two ABUS locks... an ABUS Bordo Granit xplus 85cm folding lock and an ABUS 1060 67" chain. The folding lock will perfectly fit through the rear wheel, frame, and a standard bike rack. The chain is long enough to go through both weels the frame and a bike rack. When I have the trailer...

I use the Park Tool chain lube and I clean and lube my chain about every 4 weeks.

2000 miles on the bike now. All I have done is rotated the tires, replaced the chain (it hadn't even stretched but I always switch out at 2k), and replaced the brake pads. The bike is amazing! I haven't even had to adjust the shifting... ever. I got a Burley XC Coho cargo trailer for it too...

Very nice!

Glad to hear this bike worked out for you!

I actually found the right axel in a bargain bin at a local REI. It was 14 bucks! I love the coho it is perfect for my needs!

Which ballz through axel did you get? I measured my VADO axel and it is 12mm x 1.0 thread and 162mm long. I ordered the trailer and the ballz through axel 12mm x 1.0 thread 158mm to 174mm. But they sent the wrong axel. And now that specific size is out of stock everywhere. Before I send...

Thanks for the info. There are parts of Cleveland that I frequent that yes anything and everything will be stolen. I am looking for a better solution than a cable for the front wheel.

Thanks for sharing the pics. Do you think the chain ABUS makes to plug into the lock will be long enough to secure the front wheel to the frame? I already have an ABUS folding lock that can make it through the rear wheel, frame, and a standard bike rack. Thanks for any insight you can provide.
