I have 1,900 miles on my Creo Turbo. Today, I was changing the rear tire and I took the opportunity to clean the cassette while the wheel was off the frame. I noticed that the cogs of the cassette had a slight play relative to each other, not firmly fixed as I expected them to be. I got out my...

How well sealed are the Specialized Turbo Creo's battery and engine compartments? Here in the northeast, our roads are frequently salted during the winter. I had issues with corrosion on my Bulls EVO, not only where the battery makes contact - relatively easy to clean - but deep in the inner...

Just reporting in. Weather hasn't been great but I did get a few more rides in. Tire is still holding at 50psi. At this point, I consider this seal as "permanent" as a brand new tube. (Yes, eventually it's going to go - pffft! That's why I carry a patch kit and a spare tube.)

Postscript: As I mentioned a week ago, last Wednesday, I took the bike out for a 79 mile trip. Came back and the tire was holding pressure like a rock. Funny thing though, Saturday evening, 72 hours later, I felt the tire. It was mushy. I checked it with a pressure gauge and found it at 12psi. I...

I took it on the road today. 79 miles. Pressure holding - solid as a rock. (Or - Like a rock, I'm gonna roll over you! :) ) Strictly anecdotal. I am merely reporting. My experiences are mine. Your decisions are yours. :)

The common denominator seems to be that a slime-sealed tube is basically equivalent to any random inner tube. It might last the ride, or it might go flat on me in the middle. I'm not being flippant. That's just the reality. The thing to keep in mind here is that the inner tube is somewhat...

I don't think anything was left embedded in the tire. Immediately following the incident I could see some blue liquid poolling on the tread of the tire. But after I rode several miles I can't even see that anymore. Does it dry black or does it pick up dirt and turn black? I've examined the tire...

It's ready for replacement. 3 - 4K of miles per season under eLoad in my terrain is guaranteed to stretch that chain. I find I invariably do this seasonally. For another 40-50 bucks at the same time I replace the cassette and keep shifting smoothly. Can anyone give me the parts list? Thanks!

Can you please post links to the chain and cassette for the Specialized Creo Turbo? On Amazon or wherever. I like to change these every season. (I used to do this regularly on my Bulls EVO. I'm just completing my first season on the Creo and I'm not sure of the precise specs for these...

Thanks guys, for your responses! It seems that either the seal is going to hold permanently, or it may go flat on me! :) More or less the same risk I take every time I hit the road! I do carry spare tubes with me. So I'll take the opportunity to do an experiment. I'll post back after about a...

Hi - not specifically an eBike question, but I just got my first slime seal on my slime tubed tires and I have a couple of questions. (Mounted on a Specialized Turbo Creo, in case you are interested.) I felt it when I rode over a piece of shrapnel and heard it clatter away from underneath. What...

Maybe - 1. Get a new e-mail address. 2. Stop reaching out to Rider Care for at least a few weeks. 3. If you have questions or issues see if your LBS or folks here on the forum can help. 4. Reach out to Rider Care sparingly. Just throwing out ideas. Rider Care works for me, so it should work...

Back to the original topic- Rider Care has answered every e-mail inquiry I've sent them. I've found them to be very helpful. I can't speak to phone contact. Maybe that's the issue? e-mail communication is asynchronous and much less expensive for any company. Give e-mail a shot next time...

Alternatively, if you have this 5mm Allen socket in your toolkit, you can save yourself $35. This works perfectly for the Creo Turbo. (If you're fastidious, you might want to wrap a strip of duct tape around it , or create some sort of foam collar to preserve the pristine finish on your...

I just got the Park Tool kit so from now on I'll use that to clean the chain every couple of weeks or so; I do about 120 - 150 mi per week. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07Z8JH85V Also, in the past I've changed the chain and the cassette annually; I usually do that around Feb or March, in...

With regard to turning the front cog backwards - here's what I received from Rider Care: Hello and thanks for reaching out! Regarding spinning the front chainring backwards with the bike turned off you are totally fine to do so! With it free spinning there is a tool on the market to hold hold...

Yeah, that's what I have. Two dealers couldn't keep it airtight. It wasn't worth spending two much money on, because it only acted up if I flipped the bike, like to change a flat, but anyway, after pumping the brake a dozen times it would firm up. I put 9,600 miles on the Bulls and the belt...

Does the motor drive the pedal axle or does it drive the cog? If it drives the cog, then that would explain it, because the motor might, at times, be driving the cog faster than you are pedaling. So relative to the speed of the cog, you'd be pedaling "backwards". Now if the pedal was locked to...

Whoa! Awesome. But definitely expensive! I'll have to pass on that for now.

@fooferdoggie , @Alaskan : What kind of stand are you guys using? I have a Park Tool stand which I purchased about 20 years ago when I was riding a meBike, but it doesn't seem durable enough to hold the weight of an eBike. What do you recommend?
