Over the weekend I replaced the chain on my 2019 Turbo Vado 4 as the chain was down to 0.5% wear. Today, I went out riding and could hear a clicking sound somewhere from the drivetrain especially when the motor was assisting. Initially I thought the rear derailleur needed to be re-indexed but...

As already stated the black clip is to stop the bolt from coming off. The method you used to stop rubbing works most of the time but not always. Another trick is to insert spacers either side of the pads between the pads and the disc and then do what you have already done. Lots of YouTube videos...

I had a closer look at my chainring today and everything seems to indicate that GuruUno’s ring is fitted the opposite way. If you look at the attached photos you can see the difference in alignment between the spider arm and the arms on the chainring. The first picture is my setup and everything...

My Praxis 40T chainring on my UK supplied Turbo Vado 4 (2020 model) is fitted the opposite way to yours with the diagram, wording, logos etc all facing inwards towards to seat tube. This is how it was supplied from the factory. Like you, I have never had any issues. Clearly there is a difference...

I think the confusion is around the definition of outer and inner for the chainring. When the chainring is fitted on the bike and you view the chainring side on from the drive side then the inner side is the side closet to the seat tube. In that scenario the statement of aligning outer chain...

Found this picture from Shimano that clarifies how the chain should be threaded through the derailleur and how it looks when it’s done incorrectly. Click on the image to see the 4 examples and explanatory text box. I know from bitter experience that it’s easy to thread incorrectly as the correct...

In reply to an earlier post it’s correct that some chain makes are directional but the one fitted to my Turbo Vado 4 (2020 model) which is a KMC e10 is NOT directional and hence can be put either way around. I believe some Shimano chains are directional. The important points are to thread the...

My Turbo Vado 4 is for the UK market and was manufactured in 2020. I have a spare chainring and have attached photos. From what you are saying there appear to be differences between your model and mine.

Can’t see clearly from the video but it looks like you may have threaded the chain incorrectly through the derailleur hence the noise. I made that mistake recently. Attached is a picture of my derailleur which is how the chain should go. There is a small plate in the cage between the jockey...

My Turbo Vado 4 has a Praxis 40T Wave chainring - can’t be much clearer than that. Don’t understand why you say you can’t call the Praxis a “Wave” chainring as that is exactly what Praxis call it and as far as I can see they have the trademark for the Wave technology. Perhaps some Vado/Como...

Update - since putting up the original post I have replaced the chain. The original factory fitted chain was a KMC e10T and I have now fitted a KMC e10ept. Everything is working fine and no chirping or other strange noises. Reading all the various posts and doing some research I have noted the...

I regularly use my Turbo Vado 4 about 3x per week and cover an average of 100km per week. I maintain my bike meticulously and in particular look after the drive train making sure it’s clean and lubricated every week. So now that it’s done 2000km in 5 months I see that the chain (KMC e10) has...

Dziękuję ci bardzo 😎

Would be good to know if Blevo performs better than MC regarding heart rate smart control. As you say it’s cheap enough so will probably give it a try. However, If anyone has experience then please let me know. In particular, can you override the smart control power setting using the push...

Went ahead and tried the Smart Control feature in Mission control to maintain a minimum heart rate whilst riding my Turbo Vado 4. All well and good in as much as I paired my Garmin DualHRM to MC, set a target heat rate (120) and set minimum assist to zero so that below the target heart rate...

Well done on dealing with your first flat tyre. Hopefully it will be easier next time. As already said, the rear wheel is more fiddly due to the chain and derailleur. I have had to deal with 3 flats this year of which 2 were caused by the tiniest shards of stone embedded in the tread and the...

Yes that’s correct - a lubricated thread will yield a different reading to a dry thread along with how the wrench is also used. All good points so some common sense is required as well. Each to their own as to how to interpret and apply manufacturers data. The point of the original thread was...

I was pointing out a discrepancy for the UK Vado Turbo 4 between the Specialized user manual and the Suntour fork manual. The response from Specialized has dealt with the matter confirming that the correct torque is as per the Suntour manual. Makes sense to me as the torque impacts on the...

So Specialized Rider Care replied to my email querying the discrepancy and they confirmed that the correct torque for the front axle fitted to the NCX E25 fork is 8-10Nm. I have pasted their response below. Response from Rider Care 18/12/2020 Hi, Thanks for your email, it's always great to...

Thanks for the update. Perhaps we have different forks/manuals. The forks fitted to my UK Vado 4 are Suntour NCX E25 with 15mm thru-axle and the manual that came with the bike clearly shows on page 6 a torque setting of 8-10Nm. The plot thickens.
