    Specialized Turbo Vado SL: An Incredible E-Bike (User Club)

    One thing I discovered recently that could have been contributing, is that my rear brake seemed to be slightly rubbing my rotor. I was riding on a longer ride a few weeks ago, and it got worse. So much so that I actually removed my rear brake pads to continue my ride. When I got home, I...

    Oh wait, you have your mirror inwards also. I'll try that. I just had mine in the down position.

    Yeah Mirrycle. Maybe just different body geometry. BTW, not sure why you say it is the safest position? Mirrycle has it the other way on their web-site.

    Specialized Turbo Vado SL: An Incredible E-Bike (User Club)

    I noticed you have your mirror facing down. I usually have mine facing up, but tried it this way last week. Seems more aerodynamic, but my arm is always in the way of the mirror unless I move my head around. Do you have trouble with it like this?

    Firmware update for charging limit

    I talked to Specialized customer service on the phone and they said that they thought the firmware update capability was coming to the new app at some point. It just wasn't there yet.

    Firmware update for charging limit

    Total BS btw.. I bought this bike with the expectation that I could update it myself. I live in the mountains without any bike shops close to me. I like the bike, but will be looking elsewhere for my next ride.

    Specialized Turbo Vado SL: An Incredible E-Bike (User Club)

    Yeah. I did that last year. The original plastic bracket broke. So I got a metal bracket and arm from Amazon so my bag wouldn't interfere. I posted pics and part # on here somewhere.

    Specialized Turbo Vado SL: An Incredible E-Bike (User Club)

    More plush ride than the Pathfinder sport. Felt nice. More hold on the gravel. Didn't notice any more rolling resistance. No issues.

    Couldn't wait any longer for the Pathfinder Pro in 42 to be available. Got Tufo Thundero 44. Seems to fit fine. Going to go for a ride today.

    Auto mode, do you use it?

    I have a 2020 Reign E+1 with a 625wh battery. I broke my ankle last fall and am recovering. So needing more assistance this summer. I tried Auto mode the last few days and it seems kind of jerky. Doesn't really help me when I need it and then provides too much assistance when I don't...

    help me with my Turbo Vado "buyer's remorse"

    Explain the situation to the local specialized dealer. See if they will let you sell the Vado on consignment if you buy the Creo, or let you trade it in. Explain your injury situation and the miles on it. Cry a little bit and bring them some beer while you explain?

    Turbo Vado SL 5.0 - Pathfinder Pro 2Bliss 700x47

    Anyone know if this tire will work with the Vado SL 5.0 2022? The shop is telling me the 42 will work, but it's been out of stock since forever. They are saying the diameter of the tire+wheel will be too much with the 47. I can't see any specs for this tire on Specialized's web-site, so I...

    Bike shop charging fee to upgrade mission control?

    Disagree. I think it should be free. Every other piece of electronic equipment that needs updated firmware, doesn't require me to bring it to a shop and pay a fee. Phone, computer, printer. I have tons of devices in my house. I never have to bring it to a shop. If I am forced to bring it...

    Vado (SL), Gazelle, Oh My..

    I tried all 3 of those bikes. It really depends on your needs. I was looking for a bike that had a little juice to help me on hills, because of years of injuries and getting older. I just liked how light the SL was, with a little help.
