    Winter riding: Wet Leaves on Trails?

    I want to burn off some Holiday calories and I have a question. As an older rider, I worry about riding on bike trails that go through forests as wet leaves are pretty slippery. I used to do this all the time when I was in my twenties and thirties, and took several nasty spills, but as I...

    Specialized Turbo Tero Manual?

    Thanks, Hammick. I tried to get through to Specialized to ask about the manual, but couldn't get through. Sorry to hear about the glitchiness with your bike's electronics.

    Specialized Turbo Tero Manual?

    Thanks, Stefan. I guess I'm more than a little "old school." (almost 70) I still prefer to have a book in my hands, if only to highlight relevant passages.

    Specialized Turbo Tero Manual?

    Thanks, Allan. I just talked to a Specialized dealer and he told me that the physical manuals are no longer available. They only have online manuals. Who knows how accurate that info is?

    Specialized Turbo Tero Manual?

    Thanks, Allan. Do you know if they also publish a physical manual? I can't remember if I got a physical manual with the bike or not. If I got one, I can't find it. Yet.

    Specialized Turbo Tero Manual?

    Hello. I purchased a Turbo Tero 5.0 with a loose display and am finally (after almost 2 months) getting a replacement sent to me this week. I went looking around for the users manual to explain how to program the new display and I can't find a manual. A users manual is available online. I...

    Problem Getting Specialized Turbo Display

    It was the flange. I suggested gluing to some repair people familiar with the display unit and they told me not to do it, but I always thought it would work fine. Your post proves that to me.

    Problem Getting Specialized Turbo Display

    Thanks, as usual, for your suggestions. "Mark" at Lititz Bikeworks, a local Specialized dealer and very helpful guy, picked up that a display unit was available at a Specialized facility somewhere on the West Coast. I called Specialized later and they told me that an order containing display...

    Problem Getting Specialized Turbo Display

    I got a Specialized Turbo Tero 5.0 back in early October and upon my arrival home, the display module was loose. I discovered that it was loose because one of the flanges that holds the unit in place had broken off inside the unit in which the display is seated. The bike shop where I bought it...

    Anybody Ride a Specialized Turbo Tero Yet?

    Hi Stefan. I made a mistake with that second posting. It looked like my first one had not sent. You ride the Tero yet?

    Anybody Ride a Specialized Turbo Tero Yet?

    Thinking about a Turbo Tero 5.0. Hard to find, and expensive. But they look great and they have good components, range and 90 Newton Meters. I'd be real interested to hear from anybody who has ridden any of the Teros. 3.0, 4.0 or 5.0. Thanks.

    Best Bike Inclinometer App?

    Thanks, retired NH. I haven't tried that yet. I don't even know what a "ride with gps" app is. Could you enlighten me? Thanks again.

    Best Bike Inclinometer App?

    Rode some hills yesterday and I'm now wondering what the gradient was. Can anybody recommend a good cell phone inclinometer? (Or a good non cell phone inclinometer?) As always, thanks for your help.

    Class 3 Bikes: What Do Manufacturers Know That We Don't Know?

    I like the infrastructure idea for a variety of reasons: usefulness, safety, amusement, exercise, etc. Even tourism? Back during "The Bike Boom" in the Seventies and Eighties, Pennsylvania seemed like it was trying to get recognized as a "Bicycle Friendly State." There was lots of biking news...

    Please Help Me Decide: Kona El Kahuna, Splice E, or Dew E?

    I am looking for an ebike with an upright riding position that will do well on paved roads, gravel, single track, and dirt. An "all around" bike. There are, generally speaking, no bikes in shops to try out, so I was wondering what your opinion was on the bikes I've listed above. Which would be...
