    New Specialized 2022 Como 3.0

    my 2020 is class 3 but also has a sticker in the zip case class 1. if i could find another 2020 5.0 i'd buy it. never been on a more comfortable bike. plus i can't get to liking the new como design

    I am in a lot of pain while riding......and getting worse.

    you need a different geometry bike or smaller frame. you can add and change things but i don't think thats going to change your pain.

    UPDATED-Como 5.0 and a Vado SL 5.0 looking for new owners

    i had a SL for 2 weeks. once i rode the normal como 4x i got the como 5.0 . lighter weight is ok but the speed is what changed my mind. the extra weight isn't noticeable

    My 1st 50 miles on the new Como 5.0

    i've had a como 5.0 for a couple years and think its perfect for me but looking at the 2022 como i thinks its a disaster poorly designed. doesn't have the same geometry and doesn't look good for comfortable long rides

    Newb, debating ebike options for hills, trails

    you're not going to find much if anything E in your price range. i've seen electric conversions on tiktok but they were in asia and who knows if they would work or available or even parts i think most mountain Ebikes are rated by time instead miles. most non-name brand have inferior E setups.

    New Como design may cause some problems. Solutions?

    don't know what specialized is thinking with the new design como but by the specs it isn't a comfort bike any more. longer reach and a more sporty smaller seat. in my case small seats are not comfortable. hope my '21 5.0 lasts a long time. have a '21 4.0 too just in case...
