    Turbo SL Rack

    Right, understood. I am going on the assumption that since they are of similar capacity they are likely to have a similar fit. I'll get them from someplace where I can return them if they don't fit. Thanks!

    Turbo SL Rack

    Stefan, thank you so much for testing this out! I think I will go ahead and get the Ortlieb back roller bags since they are the right size for my needs.

    Turbo SL Rack

    Thanks ronaan. I've looked at the Racktime bags but I would like to get something larger than what they offer for a 7-8 day tour.

    Hello from Boston! (and the value of a professional bike fitting)

    Stefan, yes I agree that getting your bike fitted is not for everyone and it sounds like you were able to do a great job on your own! You have to do what works best for you!

    Hello from Boston! (and the value of a professional bike fitting)

    PedalUma, I am coming from 15 years of riding short wheelbase high racer recumbents exclusively so I need to relearn how to ride a diamond frame bike. The fitter was pleased and commented that I will have fewer bad habits to break! The geometry of recumbents is very different and employs...

    BBdoc, I bought the full height model but they had quite a few Ebikes available when I was there. I would give them a call to see if they have what you are looking for before making a trip there.

    Turbo SL Rack

    Hi Anandman: I also recently purchased a Turbo Vado SL EQ with the Racktime rack. You mentioned that you have mounted Ortlieb bags on your rack. Can you tell me what model Ortlieb bags you have and how they fit on the small racktime rack? Thanks!

    Panniers for Turbo Vado SL EQ 5.0

    I have recently purchased a Specialized Turbo Vado SL EQ 5.0 which comes equipped with a Racktime made rear rack. I know that this rack is designed to be compatible with Racktime bags but after some research I have decided that I would prefer to buy Ortlieb panniers for a couple of week long...

    Hello from Boston! (and the value of a professional bike fitting)

    BEC111, there were a couple of factors that led me to get a professional fitting. First, my LBS offered me a $50 discount off the $150 price for the fitting. In addition, they offered a 20% discount off of any parts that I purchased during the process. Finally, I decided that it made no sense to...

    Hello from Boston! (and the value of a professional bike fitting)

    I want to introduce myself and thank the many forum members that provided me with timely reviews and information to assist in my recent purchase. Last week I took delivery of a new Specialized Turbo Vado SL 5.0 EQ. This is my first eBike and I am still getting accustomed to it, but overall, I...
