    What assist levels do you usually use on e-road bikes?

    Always Eco unless I go too far or it’s windy, or Im particularly thrashed that day and don’t really want to ride, but I go for a ride anyways.

    Specialized Creo 2 owners

    Teddys By The Sea in Carp is a great spot to stop for lunch. You can park your bike right next to your table if it’s not too busy on the patio.

    My Wife Just Bought A XS Creo 2

    I just looked on the Specialized website under Technical Specifications and it says “w/Handlebar remote.” Is that what we’re talking about?

    Hmm okay thx. She test rode it in the LBS parking lot but didn’t know about the buttons. The store employeee said it didn’t have them, and I didnt look that closely.

    My Wife Just Bought A XS Creo 2

    Thank you Stefan. I think I mentioned it a while ago, if you ever get to California, look us up. Not to get political but I like what Poland is doing with their border. Maybe, finally, we have figured it out.

    My Wife Just Bought A XS Creo 2

    Hi Stefan, yes hers is the E5 Comp. My main worry was that she will “spin out” pedaling hard on the flats or slight downhills, but like I said, we are both cautious riders and won’t be bombing down any hills. We will be using the Creos for only road riding, we have Levos for any Mtb or dirt...

    My Wife Just Bought A XS Creo 2

    My Wife Just Bought A XS Creo 2

    There was one in our LBS that we just went into after breakfast to ”look around but not buy anything”. Yea, so much for that lol. It’s the “Birch“ color. She’s been wanting a roadie style bike so she can ride with me on my Creo 1. We are both experienced riders, but 62 years old so we...

    Hello from Santa Barbara California

    Theres a Specialized dealer here in Santa Clarita if you don’t have one close to you. They must have 100 bikes on display, for sale and they allow test rides. Just leave your drivers license with them and you can put a couple miles on the bike.

    Hello from Santa Barbara California

    Exactly what Jeremy said above. Vado! My wife and I each have one and love them. We’ve put pannier bags on them and done several overnight trips. They’ve got 1500 miles on them and only lubed the chains. We also did the Solvang Metric Century, 72 miler on them but we did have to do most of...

    carrying extra battery(s)

    I just looked on Amazon. Look up “Velcro elastic strap”. Use a couple for them to strap the spare battery to your rack. The Velcro makes it easy on/off and the elastic will keep it tight to the rack.
