Specialized Turbo Vado/Como/Tero/Tero X User Club

That's not really a change, is it?
I think the new releases of MC just include features for new models of Specialized e-bikes. For instance, it might handle the IGH models.
The MC is made the way it only shows features relevant to the e-bike model currently connected to the MC. For instance, the app will be very different for, say, Levo than it is for Creo, etc.
 
I think Court didn't check and was going by the spec sheet. Here's what it shows on the U.S. Specialized site for the three 2022 Vado bikes mentioned:

Factoring in the comparisons in the pictures of the bikes and the Polish site specs saying 48T for the 4.0 ST, I think the U.S. site is in error and that it's actually a 48T on the 4.0 Step-Through. But I can't be certain.
I stopped by Work Horse Bicycles in Monterey, CA, on Sunday, February 27th, and they had two new 2022 Vado 4.0 STs on the floor - and both had the Praxis 48t chainring on them. I doubt the shop would change them out so I think the only reasonable explanation for why both had the larger chainring is that the spec sheet is wrong.

Good information indeed! Thank you!
 
Mission control app ver 2.11.0 is out.
@ Marcela: Version 2.11.0 has fixed some things for me, and broken other things when run on my Android smartphone. I will provide guides to the problematic areas on my phone.
RIDE>STATS>Choices: Elevation Gain is still not available for selection on my Android phone.
SETTINGS>PROFILE (Edit Profile): "Year of birth" does not remain as set. HEIGHT(IN) does not remain as set. HEIGHT(FT) seems to remain as set.
DIAGNOSE>Device Updates: Indicates that my bike is a 2021-20-09 Vado 2 rather than the 2022 Tero that it is

Interesting. Updates might not be the thing to do. I don't mess with my electronics very much so can't tell what the issues or updates are about, and Spec doesn't say.
 
I got a new 2021 Como today, had my first ride and pretty happy. Doing a bit of tweaking, I am tall which is why I wanted the Como but I could still use a bit more rise on the handlebar. I turned them upwards a bit and lowered the seat 1/4" after my ride today, will see how that goes tomorrow. If I wanted another 1.5" out of the handlebar what's my best option? A different handlebar or one of these?: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ZHYEIJ...colid=6V7ZCCSNW5ED&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

You probably could do that. With my growing experience, I tend to discourage people to raise the bars. My ass has suffered enough so I could understand shifting the weight backwards was a wrong move...

Thank You Stefan and thanks for the response on my introductory post as well...I will get some pics soon. I hear what you are saying on the weight distribution but my back and wrists won't allow me to hunch over too much so I tend to sit more upright, will change the seat if need be for more comfort in that area! Meanwhile I wonder if anyone can tell me the purpose of these 3 tools that were in my parts bag? Thanks and now on to my lock and alarm research!

I think the bottom one is to place into the disc brake caliper to prevent them from locking closed if you remove the wheel. If you inadvertantly grasp the brake levers while working on the wheel-less bike, the brakes will close and have to be pried open CAREFULLY. The spacer prevents that. At least, that's what I was told. Haven't seen those others.
 
One of the riders in the senior's group I ride with has a Vado 5 and his odometer seems to be stuck on 9999 km.
It doesn't look like there's room for another number, so should the odometer go back to 0 on its own?

He should ask a Specialized dealer for a firmware update. The 9999 stuck is a know bug but that has been fixed in a update.
After applying the update, the man will see the actual number of miles/kilometres he has ridden.
 
Thanks Stefan. He's also got a two word alert that shows up on his display (can't remember what it says), so I'll recommend he take the bike back to the Specialized dealer he bough it from.
 
Really enjoying the new Como, I don't want my ride to end! Does anyone know if there is a way to customize the display so that everything you want to see it on the same screen? Right now I have to change screens to see what I want, there are 4 items per screen so when I'm on MPH I also get stuff I don't need like Max MPH etc. I'd like to be able to see current speed and trip ODO on the same page. Maybe I'll be able to do it once I download Mission Control?

From the docs with my wireless version, the display can be changed although pressing and re-pressing those awful buttons is not something I feel like attempting.

@bigb : Download Mission Control. Connect it to your Como. If it is anything like my Tero, then select Tune>Customize Display. You will be presented with several customizable formats. showing up to 6 items at a time. Screens can also be added.

I just want to mention the number of data fields per a data page is limited by any cycling computer. The reason is good visibility on a small surface of the display.

It looks as if @bigb wants to edit the display pages of the TCD, the small computer shown in his picture. While Mission Control can also be altered to display other things, some folks keep their larger phones off the handlebars.

I hope this link works


I think that there are youtube videos, too.
You are totally right @kahn! I didn't look at the picture from @bigb as it didn't display at the time I read his post.

To explain: the Como display of @bigb is Generation 1 TCD-w. It is highly customizable using the display buttons but it has a limited set of data fields per data page.
@ReedM has Generation 2 TCD-w which is customizable from Mission Control and allows up to 6 data fields per data page.
