Wally, great to get some more background on the ride you are planning. Looks like a great challenge. Sounds like you are open to your bike set up. Hopefully your research and suggestions by others familiar with the type of riding you will be doing will give you suggestions. The amount of mileage...

A coincidence, with this thread I was thinking of Ryan Van Duzer, who was riding a Bruzer which is on the Cyclingabout site. I love watching this type of adventure riding videos from around the world. this video happens to be on trails I have ridden on my MTB in the SF Bay Area. I do not do...

Wally, I just saw your 2nd post https://forums.electricbikereview.com/threads/no-e-bikes-allowed.58101/ Can you summarize your trip into a few bullet points because of your statement quoted below (I don't have time to read 5 pages on that thread) That amount of mileage even for an experienced...

Yes, changing to a 40mm tire will be dramatically more comfortable than a 25mm wide tire...not only on gravel but on the pavement as well. But many questions... Is there frame clearance for a 40? can your wheels mount a 40mm? Gearing. I agree with Jeremy, your current gearing is not for hill...

Ebikelife72, Nice review of the 2025 E5. It's cool that your new model came with the new Pathfinder TLR Fast Gravel tire instead of the old Tracers. The pistachio color is nice too.

Just for fun, but bike related. I just put new Hunt wheels on my Hakka on the first step to converting it a 90% road 10% gravel bike. (Hunts = 20mm ID, 44 depth carbon wheelset...nothing fancy) two years ago I used this stock bike with one change, 32mm Conti GP 5000s tires for a Metric Century...

I forgot to add... The Creo 2 comes with Specialized Tracer Pro 42mm, (not the 47mm that the first gen Creo spec'd ... and as of July 2025, the Specialized Creo 2 product page is still incorrectly listing the 47mm as the tire size) I replaced the stock with Continental Terra Speed, 45mm on Roval...

Stefan, the ebike is new to me, so I am still figuring out it usage. I also have non-e MTBs, gravel/road bikes. I am riding the Creo on both pavement and dirt/gravel trails. Riding it from my house to short trails sections is my goal. Example..I have to ride about 8 miles on pavement to get to...

Trying the third photo thread here on EBR, as recommended… I rode the Creo 2 with power off 90% of the ride since my friend was on a regular bike. My other road bikes are not up for the ride at the moment. We started and ended with live music at the General Store. Great day, even though the fog...

No, not 24. My stock alloy wheels on the Creo 2 Comp has DT Swiss G540 with 24 spokes

Funny Stefan.... I forget I don't weigh 180 anymore, I am literally just finishing mounting tires to my new Hunt carbon wheels on my Hakka, but for road use with Conti GP5000s.

That sucks CrimsonKing! not being familiar with your 21 Turbo Como I looked it up mainly for the overall weight and type of rims. and this thread from EBR came up showing the same issue. https://forums.electricbikereview.com/threads/specialized-como-3-wheel-failure.46136/ But that Como rider...

I do not have a Range Extender...yet.

Garmin Edge 1040

Yesterday, a 25 mile ride near Woodside, CA on my Creo 2. Looking towards Crystal Springs Reservoir. Overpass is HWY 280.
