    Are Vado SL Stock Hubs ('Specialized Alloy') Rebadged DT hubs?

    I recently overhauled the rear hub on my vado SL and discovered it's a 3-pawl hub. Given Specialized's relationship with DT Swiss as a supplier, is it safe to assume this is just a rebadged DT hub that is convertible using the Ratchet LN system discussed here? the cassette and freehub body were...

    Aftermarket rack and fenders for Turbo Vado SL

    I just received my Vado SL 4.0 and am absolutely thrilled, but the lack of seat stay mounts are my only complaint. What kind of commuter doesn't have rear rack mounts?!

    Vado SL Rack Question

    I see you already have the range extender, which has been sold out here in Southern California for some time now. May I ask if you went with the recommended length of 220mm for the cable or did you get the 'MTB' version which is shorter?
