I just did this upgrade on my Creo 2 - saved 158g for $70. This is literally like getting the S-Works crank upgrade ($380 new) for a fraction of the price. The stock cranks were 254g per arm, SRAM #11.6118.071.000" / Specialized #S221600022 I used 3-bolt SRAM Force BB30 cranks, but I think...

Old thread, but I just installed the Specialized Dry Tech fenders on my Creo 2. Installation was a friggin' nightmare but they're on. Question - the rear fender has a detachable rubber guard that extends the fender almost to the ground. Great for group rides but it makes it impossible for me to...

Hey all. Just got my 2025 Creo 2 and I’m looking into this upgrade. Will only the 3-bolt crank arms work? Or will the 8-bolt crank arms work too?

Used for a while with a Bosch Performance Line motor (non-smart). Unlocks motor assistance up to 28mph. No signs of wear, no issues. Selling just because I sold the bike. Was $190 new, asking $150 OBO.

Those are interesting options. I do like to build my own bikes (I have almost never bought a complete) and wouldn’t be opposed to a DIY option in the future when I have some more experience with the setup, but I think for this round I’d buy a complete. Remember also I’m storing this in my...

I use my scooter all year round, so I’d use the bike in the winter too. Anything to avoid the subways :) This was actually a major motivation for getting an ebike in the first place. The scooter’s solid tires are bad in the wet/cold and worse when they’re worn. I’m much more confident on a bike...

According to qualisports and the local dealer, their “paperwork is in” and they will have UL cert “next month”. So that’s a no for now, which is a bit of a problem in NYC.

Hey all, first post. I'm hoping to get your thoughts on a choice between the Tern Vektron S10 and the Qualisports Dolphin Plus. Relevant info: This would be for my 10-mile NYC commute from Queens to Manhattan, which involves the Queensboro Bridge (long, moderate incline on one side, steeper...
