    I finally took my ebike for a test ride.

    I think you were doomed well before you took that ride. 😁

    Hello from AZ

    Specialized Turbo Vado/Como/Tero/Tero X User Club

    I ride with the second group on our Tuesday night worlds shop ride. The first group is out of control. I usually do it in a combination of analog and Eco, which is rider power plus <=80W. Our average speed for 28 miles is 20.5 including a number of stops. When I struggle, I remind myself of the...

    Netcompany just lost American rider Andrew August to Pinarello/Q36.5. Visma was offering, but lost. 3 year deal. Not quite Seixas money, but a lot for a 20 year old fresh off winning the Czech Tour. Mauro Schmid also joined the team. Q36.5 is the top ranked ProTeam, already getting automatic...

    Also look at #2 and #3. You will see some wear in the shift ramp area as Base pointed out. I would just plan on a new cassette with the next chain unless shifting degrades.

    Anyone good at math?

    Well, we do have 2l bottles. I was thinking of single serve. The metric system adoption is a mess here. Always has been.

    Looks like you've got some wear on cogs 10 and 11, but the cassette isn't dead yet. Nice pics. I would not enjoy standing that close to a train going 60mph.

    2020 turbo vado 3 battery not available through specialized california dealer

    We had a 2020 Levo in for service and were able to find a new old stock battery at an off-Cape dealer. Instead of paying $1,799 we traded it for a couple of MOST Talon cockpits for their Pinarello customers.
