I brought mine to the Specialized shop - he stripped down the crank area he said but found nothing - but when I got it back the creak was gone so I can only think it was a mounting bolt that had become slightly loose and then got properly tightened when reassembled! I don't exactly know what...

It’s a Specialized centre and they are generally excellent. The guy said he took the drive cover off and retorqued everything but didn’t see any issues. There was also some chain noise he said was due to a bent derailleur hanger. Anyway it’s all great and silent again so I’m happy out!

Hi All, I have my Vado just over a year now and 4,300km. I had to change both rear wheel bearings last a few weeks ago as the wheel was rattling around. Then the lower headset bearing was a bit rough so changed too. Note I only commute city on paved roads and cycle paths. Last week the BB...

No nothing on the rim nor on the Specialized website so I'll need to just take off the 47s and measure the rim. At that stage I can then just try the 40 and see if it looks OK. Was just wondering if there was some rule of thumb that would tell me not to bother.

Hi - Looking for some advice on tyre size. I was thinking about some Schwalbe Winter spiked tyres this year. I have used them in the past on another bike and they were great. The thing is I still have those ones as they don't get a lot of use. They are however 40-622 or 28x1.5 and I was...

I set my Garmin Vivosport to broadcast HR and then paired it with the TCD. Download the manual here https://www.specialized.com/FR/en/turbo-connect-display/p/159237 and have a look at section 6.

Thanks for the recommendations. It basically looks like the Schwalbe Marathon in one form or another is the one. They seem to be market specific though. For now I've ordered one Marathon Plus 700 x 45 as being the closest to the Trigger to see what its like! I know it is a heavy bad boy but I'll...

Hi All, I have 1,500km on my Vado 4.0 now and got a puncture yesterday. A bit of glass in the tread eventually wore through. It looks like the tyre is worn and starting to show its 3 month age! My commute is through some less social parts of town and there tends to be a lot of glass on the...

I see power numbers that I believe are similar to those on my Powertap for a perceived exertion. They seem fairly similar - at least not double or half! I probably don't push as hard on the Vado on the commute as on a normal bike and I am faster so I'm working alright but maybe not as much but...

So my display was updated last Thursday. I've done a couple of rides and it seems great. It gives power too which seems generally accurate (my training bike has a Powertap and the data from the TCD seems close to what I feel). It was easy to upload the file from the ride from the App to Training...

I too have broken a rear wheel spoke on my Vado 4.0 after 6 weeks and 1,000km last week. Went with an unmerciful bang. I only use it for commuting on road so it is not abused and I weigh about 80kg. It went at the thread in the nipple. There seems to be unbelievable spoke tension used in the...

So an update from Dublin. Another call to the Concept store and they asked Head Office re an upgrade. That came back positive so the parts will be here tomorrow apparently when I will bring the bike in for the change. Has anybody that has had the upgrade had any negative experiences? Is it...

Good to hear! I'll be on to them tomorrow so. Are you happy with it? Any issues?

I bought my Vado 4 about 6 weeks ago here in Dublin at the Specialized Concept store. Had it back last week to 'repair' the damp Bloks unit cutting out issue and asked about the display. They called me back saying it would be available soon BUT only as a Warranty item if the Bloks were to have...

Ron, That is interesting! Mine is definitely the more expensive version with the XT derailleur etc - and I paid the €3,599 for it here. The other version was not offered to me. So do I understand that you are getting a new display and probably mount etc in a couple of weeks? Will that be...

RonV Hey - I bought a Vado 4.0 3 weeks ago and have about 400km on it now. This morning however the display cacked in heavy rain. I figured it out and got going again. Called the Specialized Store here in Dublin and they investigated the fix for it. They will get a part next week and fit it to...
