    Broken headlight mount fiasco for Vado 4.0 SL

    Hi all, The plastic arm that connects my headlight to the stem broke on my Vado. Specialized sent me a replacement arm...but they sent only the plastic arm, not the mounting bolt that actually attaches the light to the mount. I would've loved to have just taken the old mounting bolt off the...

    Vado 4 SL front light bracket broke. Any ideas how to re-mount?

    The light is fine, it’s the cheap plastic clamp that broke.

    Vado 4 SL front light bracket broke. Any ideas how to re-mount?

    The disappointingly cheap plastic mount that connects the light to the stem broke on my wife’s Vado 4 on a ride yesterday, leaving it dangling from its cable. I’m trying to figure a way to just mount it directly on the handlebars. Has anyone figured a simple but clean way of doing this? Thanks...

    2022 Vado 4.0 SL cables interfering with headlight, so I flipped it.

    You have to undo the 4 bolts of the stem, but it’s easy. Give it a try.

    New Bike Day: Turbo Creo SL Comp Carbon EVO

    It's definitely while I'm pedaling. Thanks for clarifying. Question for you...do you feel that the TCD is worth it? Crazy you spend almost $6k on a bike and they don't include a $90 computer.

    New Bike Day: Turbo Creo SL Comp Carbon EVO

    One thing I did notice: sometimes, going back down to level 1 assist after cresting a hill on level 3 assist and I have a bit of speed...it almost feels like the bike is braking...it reminds of the one time I got to drive my BIL's Tesla and took my foot off the gas and you feel that instant drag...

    New Bike Day: Turbo Creo SL Comp Carbon EVO

    Nice! Your build sounds excellent. I also got the range extender and hope to do some much longer rides with lots of climbing this summer. I also got my wife a Vado; the 4.0 step through. She loves it!

    New Bike Day: Turbo Creo SL Comp Carbon EVO

    Its maiden voyage went well yesterday, a short but fairly climby 15 miles (1600ft) - about 1/3 gravel - and I really like it so far. Pretty robust assist but of course, it doesn’t ride the bike for you so I still got a workout. A bit of the cable housing under the TCU display was rattling...

    Just ordered my first ebike: Turbo Creo SL Comp Carbon EVO

    My EVO will make 6 bikes for me, but hey, I haven't bought a new bike in five whole years! I have a MTB, a fat bike, and old roadie, an old XC bike, and my current gravel bike, which I will still use a lot. I may donate one of my bikes to someone who really needs one. Off-topic, but I just got...

    Just ordered my first ebike: Turbo Creo SL Comp Carbon EVO

    Thanks so much. I see the photos on the other thread and also watched the video of a dude struggling to install them (not a mechanic). Wasn’t expecting them to be under the tape. Interesting. Glad your LBS fixed your too-tight wrap. That must’ve been frustrating. I may ride the bike for a bit...

    Thank you, this is super helpful and prevented a "WTF" moment for me I'm sure.

    Ha, yes, they do get you every which way, don't they. I did get it from an LBS so hopefully they can help me out. I can't seem to find a photo of what the remote buttons look like set up. Do you happen to have one? Thanks!

    Thanks! Hmmm, I don’t know. Says it comes with the the TCU, 10-LED State of charge, 3-LED Ride Mode display. Thanks for the suggestion on the Garmin. Will check it out.
