    Specialized releases Turbo Tero X

    I have put rear racks on many analog full suspension bikes, and see nothing in the Tero X's configuration that would've prevented Specialized from using the flatbed-style rack from a Vado. A bit of an oversight in my opinion, but hey, you can't have it all for just $6,500.00. 🤣

    Open Letter to Specialized

    LOL Welcome to America 2022... I dare not think through my decisions or take responsibility for my own actions.

    What is your preoccupation with Klarna? Using a 'finance shop' to purchase a bike is not a good idea. For what you would have paid in interest by purchasing the bike on a credit card using a length-of-payback terms similar to Klarna would have cost you a couple hundred bucks, you would have...

    A continuing Saga with a defective SRAM fork, a new Como 5.0, and zero progress

    There is nothing 'nonstandard' regarding the stem on the fork or the head tube on the Como. Only the headset spacers have a weird shape to them.

    Yes well the main thing is to keep Stefan happy. Keep us posted, please. Don't know if I was much help. Hang in there!

    Bike arrived with bent steer tube

    I am not familiar with Ariel's bikes. Do you know the dimensions of the fork the bike comes with? Such as the hub width- I assume probably a 135mm as other poster said. Thru-axle or quick-release? Fork appears to be a non-tapered head tube. Spring fork or air? This may be something similar to...

    https://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/new-como-5-0-rock-shock-fork-not-working-resolved-6-23-22.49031/ At any rate, please know I sympathize with your frustrating situation. I am not a suspension expert by any means, but have swapped out forks on various bikes, changed spring rates...

    A continuing Saga with a defective SRAM fork, a new Como 5.0, and zero progress

    I'm a little confused... You have a thread stating this was resolved 6-23-22. Now it is back to NOT resolved?

    Newb, debating ebike options for hills, trails

    Maybe try the used bike hardtail eMTB market for a 'name-brand' unit....Trek, Specialized, Giant, etc.

    Newb, debating ebike options for hills, trails

    The salesperson you spoke with was not entirely full of hot air. If you are planning MTB'ing in terrain similar to what you pictured, I would certainly vote mid-drive. The 70-mile Bosch range is not unrealistic (provided a large enough battery) but it will depend upon things such as 1) amount...

    Thudbuster vs Kinekt seat posts

    I have a Kinekt on one bike and a Redshift on the other; been very happy with them both. Some might say the Redshift looks a little more refined than the Kinekt….

    Wow this is disappointing on so many levels. I feel fortunate to have gotten my issues resolved—-seems like in the nick of time. Disputing the charges should get the wheels turning. Keep us informed how things go!

    Suggestions for off-road headlight?

    I have had good luck with Dinotte lighting. Not the latest/greatest, but built very robust.

    A bike shop may or may not make an attempt at straightening a fork- my guess is likely not with the liability-consciousness/sue-happy nature of the world today. I will say that I ordered a bike from Gen3, and the shipment was lost, supposedly by UPS. It took getting the credit card company...

    Hello and glad I found you all

    Thank you for sharing, Blues Player. Welcome to the forum. Maybe check out the Discussion by Brand & User Reviews section of the forum, there’ll likely be on Orbea user there that can fix you right up.

    Best Wireless Earbuds for Ebikes

    Have used these for years as well and really like them. Recently tried a pair of Helmet Angels, and was really disappointed- went back to CatEars one ride later. I’ve often thought even a larger fuzzy strip would be beneficial. When I hold my forefinger next to the CatEarz, wind noise is...
