So as of today, this issue seems to have fixed itself. Now the battery discharge settings are working like they should. They did not work on the past 3 rides, but today they're working. 🤔

Without fenders.

On my 4.0, there is a lot of clearance on the front. It's the rear that's narrower.

I have the Pirelli Cinturato Gravel RH in 45. I'm using them without fenders.

I had my bike serviced back in January and they updated the firmware. Now, it seems that the battery discharge settings don't stick anymore. I have a range extender battery that I like to use on both short and long rides. When I do a short ride of around 25 miles or less, I can do the whole...

I have Pirelli gravel tires in 45 on my Vado SL 4.0 and they fit fine with plenty of clearance. They have a noticeably softer and more compliant ride than the 38 Pathfinders. I just installed them about 6 rides ago and haven't been able to fully test them out on the dirt and gravel that I...

I'd totally try to jump that.

I believe Fizik has a no-question return or exchange policy. The guy I ride with who has one had to exchange the first one he bought since he didn't like it (a "short nose" saddle).

Speaking of saddles, has anyone tried the Fizik 3D printed saddles? I ride with a guy who has one and swears by it. We've done some long rides (50+ miles) and he has no issues. I still have the factory saddle on my SL 4.0 and while it's OK for short rides, it can cause saddle sores if I do too...

I just installed Pirelli Cinturato Gravel RH tires on my Turbo Vado 4.0. The original Pathfinder Sport tires were a little too narrow and not quite as aggressive as I would have liked for the terrain I ride on, which is mostly crushed limestone hardpack. The original Pathfinders are 38 mm...

Passed these guys trotting along yesterday.

I have the same issue. I bought my bike at a similarly glizty shop in a fancy town, where the "rich" folks go. After bringing it in for service a couple times, I was not impressed with how they were trying to nickel and dime me to death for stuff I didn't need. They also tried to charge me for...

I had this happen to me a couple weeks ago. Came down a hill and there is a bump at the end with a slight rise right after. I've come down this trail a hundred times and never had a problem, but that day the chain popped off as soon as I hit the rise after the bump. I think the combination of...

I recently removed the front headlight on my Vado SL 4.0 in favor of a mounting bracket that can hold my camera and GPS. I don't ride at night anyway and avoid roads when possible. I still have the rear light on the seat though. I decided to see how my battery usage was affected by not having...

The 15-mph rule is absurd. I feel bad for you guys over in the UK. My average speed during a ride on my non-electric bike is higher than 15-mph and I go much faster than that in certain areas. It seems pointless to own an electric bike if you can't get assist beyond 15-mph. You might as well...

I have a Redshift stem on a Vado SL 4.0. It really doesn't work all that well and it seems better suited for drop bars. I have Egron GP3-L grips, which help with the Redshift shock absorption, but only if my hands are on the upper part of the grips.

I was just making the point that Specialized claimed their bike was "The Lightest E-Bike on the Planet" and it's clearly not. I wasn't making a comparison on what type of e-bike. Specialized didn't say that it was "The Lightest Gravel E-Bike on the Planet", they just said "E-Bike". On another...

They claim it's the "lightest e-bike on the planet", except I was just looking at a Trek which is lighter at 26 lbs. https://www.trekbikes.com/us/en_US/bikes/electric-bikes/electric-road-bikes/domane-slr/f/F221-11/domane%252b-slr-9/58187/5339637

I get chipmunks ALL the time. Much less scary than a snake, but when they come flying out of the weeds right in front of me, it's freaky because I don't want to hit them. This one passed between my front and rear wheels in the middle of the bike. I'm starting to think they do this on...

I have a friend who bought a $550 Huffy Vertis e-bike (class 2) and it's surprisingly decent for the money and has UL certification. It came in pieces, so I had to put it together for him and it seemed fairly well made for a bike this cheap. He loves it and it has improved his riding by quite a...
