    Specialized Como 3 wheel failure

    I had the exact same thing happen to the back rim on my Como 5.0 at about 3500 miles (just over a year after purchase). Brought it to my LBS and they were going to contact Specialized about a warranty repair. After a week of not hearing anything I went down to the LBS. They said parts were...

    Anyone running 2020 Schwalbe Marathon E-Plus ?

    I just ordered a set of these today for my Specialized Como 5.0. Should I use the existing tubes I have or get the Schwalbe tubes? Does it matter? My LBS said my existing tubes would be fine. Not sure what to do?

    Como 4 vs Como 5

    I bought the Como 5.0 as I felt the better battery and components were worth the extra $$$. I knew I would never be saying "I wish I got the model with the smaller battery". Both models are going to be great, it just depends on what you want to spend. Love my Como.

    Question on the Specialized Ride App

    I've had my Como for about 3 weeks now. I use the Ride app to track my ride and I have it sync to my Strava account, that seems to work fine. I noticed if I open the Ride app and go to Gear > Bikes and then click on my bike, the Hours number seems way off. I assume this is the number of hours...

    I just took some pictures of mine so you can see the difference. I just bought the longer brackets on amazon and then painted them. Search for “Topeak extra long tubular rack mounting brackets”.

    Rear rack for Como 4

    I added the Topeak Explorer rack to my Como 5.0. The straps that connect the rack to the bike were a little short causing my butt to hit the bag I had on the rack. I bought the longer straps from Topeak and was able to push it back a bit to fix the issue. I also used Plasti Dip to paint the...

    Which Turbo Como?

    I have the same issue with my left wrist. With the Como (I assume Vado as well), there is a screw you can loosen to change the angle of the grips. I did that I few times to get them how I like them. I have also found that wearing padded gloves helps. I bought the padded Specialized gloves.

    Which Turbo Como?

    I just picked up a Como 5.0 2 weeks ago. I've been riding it every day and LOVE it. I went with the 5.0 over the 4.0 due to the bigger battery, newer version motor, better brakes and shifters. If you watch the YouTube reviews on the Comos on the electric bike review channel, you will see...

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

    I’ve been lurking here for a bit but today I finally joined the club. I bought a Como 5.0 a week ago and today the shop called me to say it was in and ready. My LBS allowed be to switch out the pizza rack for a Topeak trunkbag. I also have some RaceFace pedals on order. I was able to take a...
