    Firmware Updates for Vado 4 (2021)

    I am about to take my Vado to the LBS for its annual service, and wanted to check the firmware levels, only to discover the (to me) new app does not seem to give those. Am I doing something wrong?

    2021 Vado 4 Axle torque question.

    I had the rear axle come loose today, and luckily I was not moving fast - skinned knee and bruised shoulder. I will be checking this before I go out each time from now on, but does anyone know the correct torque that should be used. Checking around, there seems to be a debate about whether it...

    Replacement rear wheel for Vado 4

    I am breaking a rear wheel spoke about every 3 months, and I think it is a combination of bike weight, human weight (200lbs), and the fact that I am riding on cycleways a lot (ie) climbing up, and dropping off, small kerbs. Whatever the reason, I am considering replacing it with a 32h or 36h...

    Fitting an additional rear light to a Turbo Vado 4

    I am seriously thinking about fitting a rear light, in addition to the factory fitted one on the mudguard - I want to use the flashing facility, as an additional warning aid. Because I use a bag on the rear rack, most of the seat post is hidden from view, and the obvious next place is on the...

I was not too concerned, as it happened last year, and my LBS just tightened them up. Took it in again, and went for a coffee whilst the folks did the same again, but had...

    Derailleur Cage Size

    I've had a bit of trouble changing gears, and have been checking everything out and giving it a good clean. I have an XT Shadow + GS - now that I have a 44T chainwheel, should I be looking at an SGS cage? The Shimano documentation seems to indicate this - if I am reading it correctly that is.

    Chain ring tooth selection

    I am slowly changing various components on my Vado 4 to suit my personal situation - having changed the tyres, the grips and the seatpost so far. I have noticed that I am only using the smallest 3 cogs on the cassette, and I would rather be operating a couple of cogs up from that - the...

    Fitting an Sram derailleur to a Vado 4

    Hello folks, I have just joined the group as I bought a Turbo Vado 4 (2019) last week (in the UK). My hands are a bit arthritic, and I would like to change to an Sram twist grip gear changer. I reckon that I will need to change the derailleur to a GX or NX 11 speed to match the twist grip. I...
