    Specialized Vado 5.0 IGH Cadence Survey

    These hubs are made by Gates who also manufacture the belts. If you can't get one through your shop then you need to find someone that can get one directly from them as I don't think they will sell to the public. A local bike builder near me said he could get them and had done that kind of thing...

    Specialized Vado 5.0 IGH Cadence Survey

    I am beginning to wonder if the difference in my bike is related rto them updating the software after they put the 22 tooth sprocket on the back. Who knows. Just for fun I would try deleting both your apps and reloading them and see what happens.

    Specialized Vado 5.0 IGH Cadence Survey

    Yeah I would just try playing with that Enviolo app again. I don't remember but I may have left if open when I took off the first time in case I needed to change it. I noticed immediately that it felt like I had one more lower cadence setting on the mission control. I also ride on paved and...

    Specialized Vado 5.0 IGH Cadence Survey

    Sorry but I can't help you with that mine I stayed at the lower one since I said it and I don't remember having to save anything at all. I can't check right now either since I'm laying on a beach in Mexico lol. Maybe check with your bike shop

    Specialized Vado 5.0 IGH Cadence Survey

    Hey folks the enviolo hub app has changed. I opened it up a month ago and it looked completely different and let me set my preferred cadence down lower. When I did that it made a big difference in my peddling speed. I also had my bike shop put on a 22 tooth cog on the back and between that and...

    Vado 5.0 igh making a great bike better

    I don't think so. I had a different shop put the new tires on. The shop that order and installed the new cog wanted to rerun the software exclusively due to that change. I would have liked to have tried the bike before and after the update but I didn't get that chance.

    Vado 5.0 igh making a great bike better

    One of my complaints about the Priority Current is it also ran out of gearing at higher speeds. I had my friend take the Current out and I rode the Vado next to it before changing the rear cog to the 22t. I was shocked to find that in the highest gear and in the Vado's case the slowest cadence...

    Vado 5.0 igh making a great bike better

    Definitely because of changing the rear cog. Just too much computer stuff going on with the igh and auto shifting and cadence choices. Thats about all they could tell me.

    Vado 5.0 igh making a great bike better

    Those are not my tires but they look pretty nice except if I am reading right they are only 1.75" wide which is pretty thin for this heavy bike. I think this is the tire I have: https://www.biketiresdirect.com/product/schwalbe-marathon-plus-29-mtb-e-bike-tire-hs-468?fltr= but not sure about the...

    Vado 5.0 igh making a great bike better

    Actually they did not say why the software needed to be rerun and I did not ask. I will try to find out.

    Vado 5.0 igh making a great bike better

    I'm not a long term bicycle rider but fell in love with ebikes first time I tried one in MX on vacation. The Vado is actually my 5th ebike in one year. I currently also own a Trek Rail 9.7 full suspension emtb and a Priority Current which I shouldn't have bought but fell in love with the belt...

    Specialized Vado 5.0 IGH Cadence Survey

    I agree with the original poster on the cadence levels for various speeds with the Vado 5.0 igh. For example 72 rpm gives me about 20 mph and 80 rpms provides right about 22mph. This is all in the slowest setting on the cadence level choices on a smooth blacktop road btw. I am not comfortable...

    New Vado 5.0 IGH, 1st ride, and my experience

    All sounds true except I found the full power Brose motors on the Specialized Turbo Levo Mt bike felt similar to what I just experience on the Vado and was one of the reasons I bought the Trek over the Levo at the time. Turns out that the instant jump from the Bosch at least in the higher assist...

    New Vado 5.0 IGH, 1st ride, and my experience

    Was really wondering what this auto shifting would feel like in the Vado and was lucky enough to find one to test ride today though it was a medium and I would need a large. Unfortunately I just bought a used Priority Current igh for $2K but found I wanted a stronger and more comfortable riding...

    New Vado 5.0 IGH, 1st ride, and my experience

    I recently bought a Trek Rail pretty high end mountain bike and thought the Bosch seemed to have more power than the comparable Brose in the Specialized. These are mountain bikes so a little different. However just test rode the Vado 5 with igh which I loved btw and found it similarly slightly...
