Wow!! Thank you, I'm heading off (with the bikes) to do a 12 day ride in the Black Hills of South Dakota. So, it will be a while before I could do any serious measurements, and I'm trying out the Salsa collar on this trip.

Thanks, I'll take a look at it. I thought that it was too large for the seatpost, but I think I was trying to replace the seat post collar. It will fit on the seat post, but I don't think it fits around the seat post frame. I'll have to check measurements. I did find this Salsa Post Lock which...

Hi, I dislike the rack seat post collar that Specialized has. If I have a rack on and I need to lower the seat post, say to fit in my van, or even handlebar interference on a rack, I have to remove the two bolts holding the rack on and then loosen the collar to lower the seat. Then put the rack...

Glad you made it through :-) Hope the ride goes well. Curious, was this domestic or international flight?

I am surprised at the AA rep's answer! No ebikes, even with battery removed. Things do change and they may have made a global change to the policy. That would be unfortunate. My wife called the service reps before we flew and the first agent said she "thought" it would be OK but wanted to...

@Zoe Johnson , Wanted to follow up here. We just got back from flying to Conneticut, from SFO. I removed the Creo main batteries and we road just using the extenders. Worked fine. We ended up using our Evoc Pro semi-rigid cases, not the hard sided Performance bike box, so still can't confirm if...

Just wanted to report back that we had no issues with shipping the Creo's on American Airlines. Checking in for the outbound flight (SFO) they didn't even ask anything about the bikes. When we checked in for the return flight, Hartford, CT, the agent did ask if there were any batteries in the...

Cautious, optimistic faith :cool: I've shipped many times, in hard sided, cardboard and soft sided containers, as friends have and only had one issue. A tire was ruined because it rubbed against something and exposed the threads. 🤞🤞🤞

Follow Up: We finally got hold of an AMerican Airlines rep and they said it was OK to fly with the batteries removed. Flight is on Friday, so we'll see if we have any issues checking in.

Hi, I'm planning to fly on American Airlines and was checking the weight limit for bike bags. I just noticed it says only "non-motorized". I have removed the battery (Specialized Creo) but, the motor is still on the bike, AND they say I can carry two 160 Wh batteries in my carry on. So, is this...

Hi, Does anyone know of a source for official Creo service manuals or bulletins? Specialized seems very closed about DIY service info. There's lot's of info out there but it would be interesting, and good reference if we had the official service docs since they have so much proprietary stuff on...

Initially this was posted because a Creo friend was going to ship her bike and we were going to lend her our case. It turns out that our plans have changed and we are driving to join her in New Mexico. So, we are going to take her bike in our van. Thus, no need for the bike case. With that said...

Hi, I may be shipping my Creo and I have the old style Performance hard sided case. I've used the case several times with my regular steel bianchi, but while I was doing a test pack it looks like the wider rear hub spacing may not fit. It "seems" to fit but I am concerned it may be hitting, or...

Interesting, and a point to consider. Do you have a link to the "Courts video", i'm not familiar with that reference. A good idea about a possible bent link, that WOULD help explain that all of a sudden it was common occurrence. Perhaps, after the first drop it jammed and bent a link... from...

Zekeer, The Park Tool vid's are great!! I should have been more clear about the drop, though. It is a chainring drop, in the front!! Not a cassette chain drop in the rear. That is the odd thing about the Creo, lot's of folks are having FRONT chainring drops. I have several MTB's and gravel...
