So getting back to my question. anyone try a 47 on the Vado SL?

Anyone know if this tire will work with the Vado SL 5.0 2022? The shop is telling me the 42 will work, but it's been out of stock since forever. They are saying the diameter of the tire+wheel will be too much with the 47. I can't see any specs for this tire on Specialized's web-site, so I...

Disagree. I think it should be free. Every other piece of electronic equipment that needs updated firmware, doesn't require me to bring it to a shop and pay a fee. Phone, computer, printer. I have tons of devices in my house. I never have to bring it to a shop. If I am forced to bring it...

I tried all 3 of those bikes. It really depends on your needs. I was looking for a bike that had a little juice to help me on hills, because of years of injuries and getting older. I just liked how light the SL was, with a little help.

I don't think so .

My local Specialized shop and Specialized online have the Extender Battery, cable and y-cable on sale. The battery was $336. Cables were around $45.

Too bad 42s are out of stock in the US since forever :)

I saw one today at the local shop.

Yeah. I think it only applies if you ride a know route or amount of time and know you won't use the full charge. Otherwise I'd want my battery to be 100. Also. Sometimes if I know I have extra charge, I'd ride farther or a different route. Kind of a weird thing to be honest. Buy a bike...

Interesting. I just got an email about it. It says it can only be done by a dealer and that they may charge for it. It's interesting that they put that caveat in about dealers charging for firmware upgrades. Pretty BS. Definitely won't be getting another Specialized bike if they try and...

Out for the season. Scrambled my ankle into small pieces. Hopefully back in the spring. Keeping up with all the SL news so I can get back in the saddle!

So all this begs the question.... I'm assuming there isn't some place that I could possibly download firmware and utility and do it myself unofficially?

$50 for a firmware update. What a rip. I think if you need to get a firmware update and they don't allow you to do it yourself, it should be free. What about the 2-year warranty? Shouldn't they be covering the firmware under warranty?

It is pretty irritating that I have to bring it to a shop. I live in the mountains. The retailer that I bought my bike from, has switched to ski season. So now I have to wait until spring. Also, pretty much every other electronic thing that has firmware (Bios, phones, cameras, thermostats...

Which is strange because the release notes mention a new battery firmware, but in the app it says the latest is still 0.4.15. Also, the app mentions a newer display firmware, but the release notes don't say anything about that. Ah well. I get updates are good?

I usually take most of the stickers off my bikes after I purchase them. The lbs didn't tell me what class it was either. I don't remember what class my bike is :)

Got a notification of new Firmware via email. Updated Mission Control to 3.5. I have a Turbo Vado SL, but it looks like the firmware is available for multiple bikes. I didn't download the release notes. Looks like motor, display and possibly battery firmware. Mission Control reports that...

Found another advantage of the AXS, is that I can now see what gear I'm in, from my Garmin GPS. Nifty. Nerdy 😃
