Well, $20 is the retail difference, so the cost to Specialized is even less. And yes you are right that it will take more battery power. I guess then that the 4.0 gets better mileage than the 5.0! But not mine anymore...I can live with that easily because the light is much brighter and...

I decided to change out the stem on my Vado SL 4.0 to get my bars incrementally higher and closer to me. So of course I had to get rid of the unique stem that came with the bike, with its computer and light mounts. And its worth saying here that I had already removed the computer mount. So I...

BioWheel, not close to 30 lbs. I'm sure. I did reduce the rotating mass by about a pound and a half, and I can feel the difference in that its a little quicker to get going without power, and more lively when changing direction. I put Schwalbe 35 Marathon Supreme and SV18 tubes on and lost...

I see your point Stefan. And btw, thank you for your incredible review of the Vado SL; it really helped me make my decision to get one! Rotating mass is different from static mass. Picture your wheels as big gyroscopes - the heavier they are, the harder it is to change their direction, and...

I removed the cassette and it is on the standard driver, as everyone suspected. Just replaced tires with Marathon Supremes and SV18 tubes and lost about 158g per wheel of rolling weight per wheel. And the Schwalbe's are a more supple tire with a kevlar bead. I ordered a lightly used xtr...

I am not sure all 11 speeds use traditional because some have 10 tooth cogs. Thinking of Shimano XTR CS-M9001, probably a lightly used one.

I recently got a new Vado SL EQ 4.0 in Smoke. I think it is 2021 or 2022? I love it but I also love to tinker, so I wish to replace the Sunrace cassette with something much lighter. Does anyone know for sure if the wheel has a traditional driver or XD? Thanks in advance. I am working on...
