    Wahoo ELEMNT (Roam and Bolt v2) on Specialized e-bikes (Garmin Edge compared)

    Stefan, I like the Wahoo and their system, in fact I suggested that you look at the Wahoo a few years ago. I read about Wahoo's financial problems on DC Rainmaker and they do not seem in significant. Illustrative point of what happens when companies are bought and sold is what has happened...

    Wahoo ELEMNT (Roam and Bolt v2) on Specialized e-bikes (Garmin Edge compared)

    My Wahoo did the same thing this week. I have not been able to get it to reboot and I am giving it time for the battery to drain. I wonder if it was not caused by an update. If I have to replace it I think that a Garmin might the smarter choice, Wahoo has been having financial difficulties lately.

    Trek's version of the SL?

    I think that these Domane + SLR will give Specialized a lot of competition. As you say, they are about 2lbs lighter than a Creo. They also have 2x drive train, quieter motor with higher newton meter rating and a 165mm Q factor. The motor has been available on the Fuel EXe and had been getting...

    There is a bike calculator app for iPhones. 5 miles with a 5%grade, rider power =150watts, rider wt=180 29lbs bike takes 49.64 minutes and speed =6.04mph. 27lbs bike takes 49.21 minutes and speed =6.1 so for the cost to decrease a Creo Sl Carbon by 2lbs-26 seconds are saved on a 5 mile climb...

    Specialized Turbo Creo 28mph Electric Road Bike

    Aren’t the SRAM cassettes 12 speed? You might look at Garbaruk cassette, they get good reviews and have models that fit the Shimano hub.

    Specialized Turbo Creo 28mph Electric Road Bike

    Somewhere I read that the Creo is similar to the Diverge, but comparing it’s geometry to the Creo there are differences. Also the Diverge is set up as a gravel bike. The Roubaix is the most similar road bike. Not to start an argument, Specialized bike cost more than similarly equipped bikes from...

    Creo Expert EVO Chainring Help

    The current non Evo Creo Expert comes with 10-42 and 46 chain ring. My Creo came with 11-42 and 46, I spin out at 29 to 30 mph. A 50 up front might hit the chain guard.

    Garmin Edge (or Wahoo Elemnt Roam) and Specialized Turbo e-bikes [RESOLVED]

    The Wahoo searches for sensors when you turn it, so the bike needs be on first. Last summer I was going on long rides and at rest stops the Wahoo would stop recording ebike data. I could get the unit to reconnect by briefly pushing the on/off button. It would scan again and reconnect with the...

    Garmin Edge (or Wahoo Elemnt Roam) and Specialized Turbo e-bikes [RESOLVED]

    Stefan, I have a Roam and use it on my Creo and road bike. It uses three good sized buttons rather than touch screen. When on the Creo it shows and records all the e bike data such as battery, watts that am generating, which level the bike is on, in addition to the normal bike data. The screens...

    Garmin Edge (or Wahoo Elemnt Roam) and Specialized Turbo e-bikes [RESOLVED]

    You should look at the Wahoo Element Roam. Works great on my Creo, the Wahoo system is more intuitive than Garmin’s.

    A Road-Cyclist Thoughts On E-Bikes

    This is confusing, certainly different than I thought. If I’m using Eco on my Creo and it is set at 35%, how much power is the motor adding when I’m generating 100 Watts?

    Stefan, Does that have something to do with using BLEvo or would be the same with turbo set at 100% 100% using mission control?

    A Road-Cyclist Thoughts On E-Bikes

    It is confusing. I think the customer service rep was wrong. I have a Creo with the 1.1. You can adjust the power and support for each level using the Mission Control app. The support allows the user to adjust the percent of the user‘s power that is matched. For example, if support is set as...

    A Road-Cyclist Thoughts On E-Bikes

    Are you sure that it gives 2X the Watts that the rider is generating. I have the impression that in turbo, the SL1.1 motor on a Creo SL matches the rider’s output up to 240W. In your example, the rider’s output of 125W would be matched by the motor with 125W for a combined output of 250W. (The...

    Cannondale Topstone Gravel Ebike

    I get the impression that e road/gravel bike may not be selling as well as analog bikes. Most bike stores in Denver have very few analog bikes, but still seem to have a good selection of ebikes.
