You are as British Charge as you never want to embrace the diversity :) I think you rather belong to Benidorm :) Kvass

A Frosty META Bar Ride I wasn't feeling for a ride last weekend (frost!) but why are friends for? Tommy reminded me I needed keep my legs moving (and was ready to -- virtually -- kick my ass if I wouldn't ride) :) A Fast City Train saved me the absolutely unnecessary part of my ride (still, I...

@Extreme1: I did my own research: You must use Zwift to change the gears with Clicker Otherwise, you can only shift using the Wahoo app.

Thank you! As you are probably aware, these friends of mine do not own the latest Kickr with COG :) I can remember the three devices I really had to learn using during my lifetime: A cassette recorder (owned a tape recorder before) in 1977 A deep fryer (so backwards Poland was back in 1985!) A...

So glad to hear it, Extreme! For me, a modern cycling trainer was a Tale Of Iron Wolf (as we say in Poland); your story has helped me understand how the thing works. Nice pedalling! Just a question: You can certainly shift gears a do cornering with the remote. Can you brake? Any other functions...

The bike gives a very good support to the body. The friction of the shoes is usually sufficient to enable mounting the bike on regular ice, which is by no means smooth. . Black ice is a different case. You must find any ice free object to set your foot on before mounting the bike. I was in...

Actually it was hard packed snow covered by a layer of ice. Studded tyres do love having some ice beneath them. Worse if there's a small spot of frozen snow with no ice on the top. The e-bike gets a jerk when a wheel (especially the rear one) hits that spot. I rode rather slowly and...

Riding ice on studded tyres before the sunset today :)

Do you keep e-bikes with internal batteries out there in the frost?!

I'm going out for pizza :) At -6 C, I might use a train :)

Kevin, I'm sure BlackHand as a Bosch E-Bike user will contribute with useful information. Let me tell you why it makes sense going for a new Smart System e-bike. Lack of updates for the older Bosch system also means the Nyon maps are not being updated anymore Bosch E-Bike guarantees the spare...

Watch the latest Orbea Muga for the total proprietary integration :D Well, Specialized is very open and easy on the electronic front while the brand doesn't stop coming up with many exotic hardware solutions...

Cannot wait to read your ride report, Johnny.

Yes, Wahoo has the LEV Range field only the e-bike needs to be able to calculate that value and transmit it. What model year is your Vado SL? You see, the Mastermind e-bike should be able to calculate ans transmit the Range while TCU 1 cannot do it. What you have in Garmin for sure is Smart...

I appreciate Garmin (and Giant) whenever appropriate. What's happened to the freedom of speech? I also hate Bosch E-Bike if that matters :D You also could stop reiterating you are a UCI referee :) I'm neither Garmin nor Jan Capek. I owned a Garmin 540 and was dissatisfied with the LEV Travel...

OK, I get it. The hills reduce the range significantly. If you ride your Como at a cold weather then the range additionally drops, and the drop is significant. Are you pedalling at a cadence over 70 rpm? The motor becomes very inefficient if you pedal slowly! A personal story: I bought an...

He cannot. Garmin computers are a pita for Specialized e-bikes. Wahoo is perfect for them. No wonder my Garmin 540 ended with my brother as Garmin is the best option for Giant e-bikes.

"E-Bike Field" app connects to the e-bike directly.

The Sport mode on my older Vado (which has probably a smaller battery than your Como) allows me riding for some 60 km. Do you live in a very hilly area? (Hills eat the battery charge alive!) I need to know that e-bike brand and model. €2000 sounds weirdly low for a new e-bike in Europe...

Kevin, have you ever measured your own Standover Height? The 837 or 858 mm are figures for a person of at least 190 cm body height and having long legs. You might not be able to straddle the bike top tube at all! The second thing is dropping the seat-post might leave you with your arms in an...
