Hello all. Been on the forum for about a week while awaiting delivery of my 2020 Vado 4.0 in Carbon/Black/Liquid Silver. She finally arrived the other day and I am more than happy with her so far. Took her for a simple 7.5 mile initial shakedown ride to tweak the seat height/position as well as the Ergon GP3 grips I swapped the factories with. I’m sure for the next few miles I’ll have to make some more minor adjustments to the ride, but that’s to be expected n a new frame. She’s nimble, responsive and a joy to ride. I traded in my 2015 Sirrus Comp Carbon for this model and initially I thought that I would miss the extremely light weight of the Sirrus. Although she was simply to pick up and move around, I don’t miss the lighter weight while riding (so far!). I have my previous bikes carbon fiber handle bar extension (which had my Quad-Lock phone mount and 52 Speaker, and my TAZ1200 light but I’m not sure whether or not I’ll add it (for the foreseeable future.)
The only other upgrades at this point that I have planned are:
1. Set of Catalyst Pedals recommended by a forum member;
2. Snap-It Adapter (purchased, awaiting delivery);
3. Topeak MTX EXP Trunk Bag (purchase awaiting delivery);
2. Kinect 2.1 Aluminum Seat post.
Also, the Vado will be fighting for ride time with my Cycleboard Rover.
I’ve attached a few pics for reference.
