In order to use handlebar bag I successfully relocated light from stem to fork. I used mount piece from cheap ali expres light. Vado 4 SL has alu fork with front facing mount with thred, so I needed just regular screw and 5 minutes work.

Did anybody ever saw a frame bag which could be attached to bolts on bottom of top tube?

It really looks good in black!

Congratulations - looks like serious upgrade. Could you post some pictures? Also, do you know what is weight benefit of changing alu fork with carbon + Future shock? And what is the price level of fork+shock? Probably future shock is version 1.5? Thanks

Any news on this? Ever thinking to start Kickstarter campaign?

Vado SL 4.0 is using 700C (or 29) wheels and has straight (not tappered) steerer tube which limits your options. EDIT: original fork is tappered ... Also, 26 front wheel is acting very differently on off-road terrain. There is a reason for mullets (29 front, 27.5 back) bikes and you would...

Rear rack: with EQ version rack is attached to fender. You can leave it there and use it together. Or install 3rd party rack. It is compatible with racks using single attachment point to seat stay bridge. Tire clearance: it is my wife's bike and she almost never ride in mud or rain. Myself I...

It is my wife's and she never rides in rain ... hence this decision. However, if rear light is connected using connectors it is <10 min to install fenders so not a problem for winter/summer adaptation.

This was EQ before procedure ... Fenders are now waiting if ever required... btw, where can I get replacement rear light, similar size to original Lezyne? I plan to have one light permanently installed on fenders and other on seat post with connector under motor cover.

Here is Vado SL 4 with Gravelking 50mm. Enough space from my experience.

Recently removed fenders and relocate tail light on Vado SL 4 EQ. 2 hours of work and you need some mechanical skills and all required tools You can use some guide (brake wire) and guide the light wire above the battery without removing motor and battery. Not easy but still better than removal...

It is really up to rim supplier, but could it be that Spec is ordering 2nd grade stuff? Similar experience with two analog Spec bikes (gravel and hardtail). Both rim failures on rims with 28 holes. I am moderate driver but lot of steep climbs. In both cases cracks on rim happened on spokes...

Did (or can you) measure diameter of front tire? Should be 50mm by specification but depends on rim ... Also, how much space is available to top of the fork? Looks like only a few mm from your photo. For rear tire did you also use 622x50 size? How much space is left there? Thanks. Also trying...

>Will Specialized reprogram the bike for the new wheel & tire size ? Goal is to have similar diameter with 27.5 fat tires ... but yes, I will ask Spec dealer if they can do it ...

Which model of Scwalbe? Pictures? I confirm that fork has limited space compared to rear tire. I tried CONTINENTAL Double Fighter III 29x2.0 (50x622) and it do not fit in front, in fits rear ...

Many thanks, I can see there are options ;) DT Swiss now offers HG1800 wheelset with supported size FW: 12x110mm | RW: 12x148mm Boost. Front convert is possible for DT swiss hubs: I just need to figure out max tire size for 27,5 wheels. Any experience here? 2,2 inch could be max limit...

I am thinking of using 27.5 wheels on Vado SL which would enable use of wider tires (2,2?) to provide more confort and grip. Aim is to use it on hardcore gravel and even light XC ... maybe put some suspension fork also... However, I am having problem finding 27.5 wheelset with 12x110 front...

Anybody knows any small&light charger for Vado SL? Plan is to go on multiday travel and supplied charger is really big to be carried around ... . Also open to DIY solutions ... I noticed GaN chargers for laptops which are considerably smaller - altough not supporting 48V. Also, charging time...

Thanks for this. Some questions however: - could you share 3D printing bracket files? - is there only possibility to disconnect rear light cable at control unit and then remove wires completely oout of frame? - is there a way rear light can be opened and wires disconnected on rear light? - wires...
