    Vado SL 4.0 EQ Tubeless Setup?

    I have the non eq version but they should be the same wheels. I am bike mechanic and been doing this for years I used Whisky tape which I love for tubeless setups but any tape will work.

    Who needs a Creo when you have a Vado

    Nice upgrade you'll like it. When I commute i use maybe the first 3 low gears and never in the high gears. When I take it gravel riding is when I use the high gears climbing puts them to good use

    Who needs a Creo when you have a Vado

    I'm not hating on the creo at all, I bought the vado for commuting but found it's just as good a gravel bike as the creo minus the drop bars which is a plus for me cause I never use the drops even when I had a specific drop bar gravel bike, and with the creo sl and vado sl being so similar that...
