    Specialized Turbo Vado SL: An Incredible E-Bike (User Club)

    Nerd factor 😃 faster/more accurate shifting. Less cables? Bored because it's too cold to ride and not enough snow to ski yet? 😃

    Specialized Turbo Vado SL: An Incredible E-Bike (User Club)

    Anyone upgrading/upgraded their Sram GX derailleur to AXS? Seems like they are on sale at a few places right now for $420. Ordered it and should be getting next week. Also ordered an upgraded paddle shifter for $20. Wondering if there is any way of powering the derailleur off the main...

    Broken headlight mount fiasco for Vado 4.0 SL

    The broken arm should come off the mounting bracket that comes off the light. You have to use a tool on both sides of the bracket, to loosen/tighten it.

    2022 Turbo Vado SL 5.0 Garmin 530 power cadence

    if you want some of the detailed stats, yes. The bike has a built-in sensor that gives you some info, but probably not as much as a dedicated power sensor.

    2022 Turbo Vado SL 5.0 Garmin 530 power cadence

    I don't think the power page has the right items to read power from the Vado. At least from what I can tell on your screen. You have to add a setting to a screen. 3s Power is the one.

    Vado SL 5.0 saddle isn't comfortable

    I've attached my rear light to a few saddles using 3M double sided tape (the gray stuff for trim). Available at most automotive shops. Holds easily and securely, but able to be removed if needed.

    Kinekt seat post + Specialized 'Mirror' seat

    I would blame you or the LBS, but only if the LBS is a Specialized Dealer. I would assume a Specialized Dealer would know the restrictions about the seat. Then again...maybe not even the LBS then, because I'm assuming the LBS didn't install the Kinekt seatpost, so they might not know it's...

    Kinekt seat post + Specialized 'Mirror' seat

    I guess I meant the saddle not the seatpost. You don't exceed the limit assuming you didn't have over 12 lbs worth of clothing and equipment on. WHAT ARE THE SADDLE WEIGHT LIMITS? Specialized saddles with carbon rails, such as the S-Works Power with Mirror and the Phenom Pro Elaston, have a...

    Kinekt seat post + Specialized 'Mirror' seat

    I have the same setup with the Power Pro Mirror (titanium rails). So far so good. Are you sure your weight doesn't come into play? or hit a big drop/bump that bottomed out? I guess I would just assume it is a specialized warranty issue. Carbon fiber and Titanium rails do break on bike seats.

    GIANT BICYCLE ENERGYPAK SMART 500 LI-ION DOWNTUBE E-BIKE BATTERY 36v 500wh

    Used but still has plenty of life left. Does not include battery cover. This is used on Giant Electric E-bike Mountain Bikes from 2019-2020. I pulled this off a 2020 Giant Reign E+ after I got a larger battery. Asking $500 or BO.

    How to connect your Turbo ebike to Mission Control 3.0 | Specialized electric bicycles (2022)

    Funny...when I bought my Turbo Vado SL 5.0 a few months ago, the shop techs couldn't figure out how to pair my phone. First they thought my phone was broken. Then I had them try their own phones and they couldn't. They thought the TCU was broken. The Mastermind TCU did say to press "+". So...

    Specialized Turbo Vado SL: An Incredible E-Bike (User Club)

    Got a new seat for Vader. Power Pro with Mirror. Most comfortable so far. Tried a regular Power and Power mimic prior to this. Sticking with this one.

    I have a leadoutgear mini burrito bag. Fits my phone, wallet, and a multi tool and a snack. It straps on the handlebars. There is a strap for the stem area too, but I don't use that part.

    Oops ... rear mech/hanger crash damage Vado SL 5

    Definitely the hanger. You can try a hanger alignment tool. If you were closer, I have one :) If the hanger is too far bent, then trying to align it will cause it to break. In which case you will need to buy a new hanger. They are pretty cheap.

    Specialized Turbo Vado SL: An Incredible E-Bike (User Club)

    So in order to try and work on my butt problem, I put in a stiffer spring in my Kinekt seatpost. Definitely less bouncy. Will have to try it on a real ride. I also changed out my WTB Rocket chromoly 150 for the Specialized Bridge 150. So here is the interesting thing. The Bridge Sport on...
