    Anybody Ride a Specialized Turbo Tero Yet?

    I'll have to plug mine in for a longer period of time but it worked fine this morning for charging (30 seconds)

    Anybody Ride a Specialized Turbo Tero Yet?

    I'm wondering if the cable has a short in it. That would also cause this behavior

    Anybody Ride a Specialized Turbo Tero Yet?

    I just tried it on my Tero 5 for 20 or 30 seconds and it worked fine. I’m using an iPhone 12 pro max

    Keeping water out of battery compartment on turbo Tero

    I had thought about saran wrap but the ace bandage is a good idea. The other issue is that the water bottle cage is in the way

    Keeping water out of battery compartment on turbo Tero

    Thanks everyone. Since I lack a 3d printer. The idea of stuffing something in there makes sense. In an emergency, I can just install the battery although that puts me 10 pounds over the limit on my bike rack. (Sherpa 2). Luckily my wife’s bike is a vado sl 5 so it’s a little under the limit

    Keeping water out of battery compartment on turbo Tero

    I’m getting ready to put my turbo Tero on the bike rack but it’s heavy enough that I want to remove the battery. The problem is, the battery compartment is then exposed to the elements and I don’t want water to spray up from the car onto the terminals and into the frame. Does anyone have a good...

    2022 Turbo Vado and Turbo Tero comparison: Same bike?

    I think it has front mounts (not by the bike right now) but I'm using the rear mounts for my Topeak rack. The bike weighs 50lbs according to specialized (I called rider care)

    Anybody Ride a Specialized Turbo Tero Yet?

    My only complaint is that the bike is pretty tall with the rims and tires so it’s not the easiest to mount and dismount

    Anybody Ride a Specialized Turbo Tero Yet?

    That’s great! Was it basically 15 miles up and 15 miles down or were there any rollers? Did you primarily use trail mode?

    Anybody Ride a Specialized Turbo Tero Yet?

    I had a shock pump from my last mountain bike so I did it myself. There is a chart on the side of the shock were you fill it up based on rider weight

    Anybody Ride a Specialized Turbo Tero Yet?

    It’s a Portland DesignWorks basket.(The owl water bottle holder is also from them) Inside of it I keep a Chrome industries handlebar bag/fanny pack. The slot on the front of the basket holds my U lock. (I also have a spur cycle bell to replace the bell it came with)

    Anybody Ride a Specialized Turbo Tero Yet?

    I think that would be close. It would probably depend on the weight to the rider and the steepness of the grade. I have a torn calf muscle right now and going up 10% grade on turbo off-road in the dirt eats up about 10% battery per mile but that’s pretty extreme. Just a guess is that it...

    On the receipt it says "40mm kickstand for Raleigh Misceo & Detour Black" (The LBS put it on when I bought the bike so I didn't see the packaging0

    2022 Turbo Vado and Turbo Tero comparison: Same bike?

    It’s interesting because my wife is now torn between the tero and vado sl. She like everything about the vado sl except it won’t do so great on bigger rocks or mud. We are going to try them both again this week. She doesn’t like the large down tube on my tero is and how tall it sits. We are...

    Anybody Ride a Specialized Turbo Tero Yet?

    That’s what they did at the bike shop.(string method with me on it) To check it I got it going a steady speed and waited for them to both settle

    2022 Turbo Vado and Turbo Tero comparison: Same bike?

    I did find that the stock tires made a a fair amount of noise. If I was using it mostly in town, I would probably switch them out. Other than my one ride on the trail, I’ve only ridden around our neighborhood. It seems well behaved but I am thinking about cutting the handlebars down so they...

    2022 Turbo Vado and Turbo Tero comparison: Same bike?

    For what it’s worth, my local bike shop told me today that the tero frame was basically borrowed from vado. Also, if you look at Mission control for my tero 5 it says it’s a vado. I took it up a pretty rough trail on Saturday and it did great. It even included some 22% grade
