Q factor is pretty much fixed by the bike geometry, esp if the crank arms and crank axle can‘t be changed. Changing pedals and moving cleats will change the stance distance at the risk of your heels rubbing on the crank arms.

I had a 2019 m20 and added the dongle for ant+. A 530 whould connect and show bike data, with either a 830 or a 1030 you could change the motor power level.

if you have the wheel and want to be sure, you could always remove the cassette and double check.

I think it varies. If the bike has a SRAM drive, then XDR, if it has a Shimano or Sunrace cassette then no.

I always have trouble figuring out where the noise is coming from, although clicking seems like drivetrain noise. Is it there if the motor is off?

Is the motor on? My Wahoo seems to show combined power of my input plus what the bike puts out. It also varies a lot.

A spoke might cost the shop less than$1, a good mechanic can replace the spoke and balance the wheel in less than 10 minutes 🤔, maybe I picked the wrong job.

Many companies, including Specialized, make higher angle stems in various lengths. Most shops offer some bicycle fitting, especially on an expensive bike. Should be an easy fix.

Talk to them about 650b vs 700. Many people like the larger tires that can be used on the 650b rim.

I should have you guys on speed dial. Thanks

I am frustrated with having to turn the motor off to ride without power. When I turn the bike off I loose the connection to MC and my Wahoo. Ebikemotion system has a zero power level and allows you to stay connected when riding without power. Is there something that I am missing?

Assuming you want to ride in the near future, availability will be a major issue. The simple option is to get DT Swiss or Mavic wheels that fit, either would be hard to beat

Can you change power levels on the Creo with the Garmin 830?

Is there a downside when you put drop bars on a frame that is designed for a more upright riding position?

Good to know about the connectivity, the Specialized dealer said it did not connect, but he was not very knowledgeable about the bike. I ride mostly with the bike off and only use it occasionally, might explain our different impressions.

I have a Gain and I have been test riding both the Domane + HP and the Creo. If you want longer range and a wide power band the Domane is best. When I was riding it I was pretty sure that I would always use power because of how much it weighs. Both the Orbea and Specialized both ride very well...
