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

[Jeremy McCreary]

Just align the crank arm to one of the spider arms on the chainring and connect both tightly, using a strong zip tie, or velcro strap. There are reusable zip ties out there, but I sacrifice a regular type when I need to.

Thanks, have some small velcro straps that might be perfect for that.

Another variation: Stick the appropriate hex key in one of the chainring bolt heads and push it around with the crank on that side. Works well enough and couldn't be easier, but I worry about long-term bolt head damage. Velcro is safer.
