Unfortunately we bought about a month too early.

I have Di2 on my road bike and think it's great. As mentioned above eTap may be easier for a conversion. Di2 is wired. eTap is wireless.

For anyone wanting to add a rack to a non EQ SL, Specialized sells a combination seatpost/rack clamp. Part # S184700001 (30.6 mm) $20 US I was able to buy one at a Specialized shop...

The other day when we stopped at the bike shop I asked the manager about aluminum flat MTB pedals for Debbie's Vado SL and he mentioned with E Bikes it was easy to skin your legs until you got used to them.

Most of our bikes over the years came without pedals. When I tried Debbie's Vado SL my feet would slid off the pedals so I replaced them with pedals from one of our old bikes. These grip better.

I might try a pair of those for my Hybrid. I wear size 11. Would I be better off with the small or large? My sandals measure 4 inches across where the cleat would go. My shoes measure 4.25 inches across where the cleat would go.

We were in Des Moines yesterday so we stopped in at a bicycle shop that handles Specialized. I bought one of the Specialized seat post clamps that has the attachment spots for the forward rack mount. The clamp on Deb's bike shows 30.8 mm and the Specialized clamp showed 30.6. The shop manager...

Do you really want to make a phone call every time you want to tell a fellow rider to watch out for the pot hole, I'm going to turn up ahead or watch out for the dog headed your way.

Looks like a larger foot has been added to your kickstand. Here's what the OEM kickstand looks like on my wife's Specialized Turbo Vado SL 4.0 .

I joined last week and already learned a lot from the Specialized Turbo Vado SL thread. My wife purchased the Turbo Vado SL 4.0 Step Through a couple weeks ago and it's her first E Bike. We have very little knowledge about E Bikes. She's been thinking about E Bikes for a years or so but never...

I removed the reflector. The nylon washers I planned to use as a spacer was slightly too thick so I used 2 stainless washers. One of the fasteners that holds the light has external threads that thread into a barrel fastener on the other side that has internal threads.

It was mentioned earlier in the thread, Park Tools has a cleaning tool with a reversible handle. Can you turn your bike over resting on the seat and bars, then use your Park Tool?

That's correct. At first I was looking for a lever like Shimano has, then I spotted the pin. Here's the video I watched. "

We're also BMW riders. We started riding in 1977 with Debbie on the back, then in 1988 she started riding her own bike, a BMW K75T. She rode it to Alaska that year. Since then we both have had 1991 K75Ss, 2003 K1200RSs, 2011 K1300Ss, 2016 R1200RSs and now 2022 R1250RS. I'm 69 and she's 68. She's...

Her bike has the spring loaded pin or button.

We have a Sena product built into our motorcycle helmets. It's really handy to be able to talk between the 2 motorcycles. We went 39 years without communicators and didn't think it would be a big deal to have them. After having them since 2016 we think it's great. When we bought Debbie's bicycle...

I learned a lot from this thread. Thanks everyone. Yesterday I learned about the derailleur clutch. After seeing it mentioned I Googled it, then went out and found it on Deb's bike.

We take a lot of motorcycle trips and never caught it. We never fly. Probably easy to catch it on a plane.

I'll try a nylon washer for the headlight. I was surprised her bike did not have a rear or wheel reflectors. Didn't need those, already have a coffee can full on them :) I was quoting Jay Gee. There was no quote option.

Saw this video in post # 1,576 for a Specialized seat post clamp with rack attachment. It's 30.6 mm instead of the OEM 30.8 size for the Turbo Vado SL 4.0 step through.
