I'm replying to myself years later but this is how I do this: One caveat, depending how you've programmed your battery use on the Eco, Sport and Turbo modes, the figures I give here will be different. I've determined that, for the riding I do, the combination of Main and Extender batteries...

Where's your promised "report"?

I had the exact issue and stopped it immediately by cleaning the section of the top tube that is just under the cover that moves when the handlebar turns, behind the future shock area.

I had this happen to me and what solved the issue was using dry, compressed air on the input section for the Extender. I'd guess, though, there are many other reasons for this symptom.

My friend found a company in Minnesota that specializes in creating small cranks and can do this by utilizing a long crank and shortening it and, as you stated, he requested that my friend purchase a 175mm crank for the reason you described. The major problem, though, is that this is a one...

Wrong. The chemical was designed to be impervious to even military gasmasks. N95's are VERY easy as any simple test of home cooking can easily prove.

I wonder if it's possible to drill an additional hole in his current, 165mm, cranks to accommodate his pedals. This would be done by a professional machine shop and I'm assuming that the crank arms are solid. The old hole can be covered up somehow.

Pedal strikes aren't the issue at all but, rather, it's the rider's physiology where there's a need for a shorter crank to avoid pain. I wonder if it's possible to drill a hole in his current, 165mm, cranks to accommodate his pedals. This would be done by a professional machine shop and I'm...

The 150mm crank is for a friend who has this e-bike (less than a week old) and due to his physiology and a result of a professional bike fitting the determination of 150's, which he had successfully on an acoustic bicycle for years, was made to eliminate his leg/knee pain which had come back...

It attaches to the bottom bracket based motor. The crank can be moved backwards without engaging anything, moving alone. I'm not sure how it's attached but it probably isn't done in a typical fashion, though I'm not absolutely certain. I was looking for answers from people who know this...

Surly, there are MANY 150mm cranks and very few, if any, that can fit this exact ebike. The Miranda cranks that you recommend are 150 and up, yes, but I'll bet you don't know if they can fit the Specialized Creo SL which has a somewhat unique system.

My friend needs 150mm cranks for his Specialized Creo SL Expert. Any ideas? This is not so easy to do?

Actually, a thief can steal your bicycle even if you're there (even while you're riding it!) and, in my opinion, the best security when parking your bicycle outside is to use Pitlocks and Hexlox on small components (like brakes, seats, wheels, etc.), and to use two "U" locks at the same time...

Not if the lock is a Skunklock, unless the thief knows that lock and, instead of attacking it, attacks the bicycle. If they don't know about the Skunklock and try to cut it they won't be around to continue their attack.

I have done the same with my seat bolt and am not sure if this is a better idea compared to using a Hexlox method. My thought is that it's an EXTREMELY rare thief that would have the correct tool for this, even rarer than a thief who mastered the Hexlox removal. ALSO, I suggest using a round...

Like all bicycle theft defenses, I'm playing the odds. Even in your example, the thief would have to know what to look for even though few people actually use hexagonal security screws on their bicycle, look for this set on Amazon and buy it, not to mention carry it around even though 99.99% of...

For my seat post, which can not use Hex Lox because the allen screws have internal threads designed for a rear rack, I use 3 mm security allen screws which has a pin that sticks up in the center of the hexagon and the screws are rounded so that no plier can gain a grip to force it open. I use...

I had the squeaking Future Shock cover. After cleaning the top tube below it the problem was gone.

If anyone has one available please post or contact me at [email protected]. Thanks!

I had emailed the Specialized help section inquiring about motor longevity and they couldn't answer the question. I'm sure there is information on this, at least known by the engineers who designed this motor, but it looks like they don't wish to share what they have. Perhaps it's an ongoing...
