You don't find any issues with the hydraulic brakes when you flip the bike? I try to do that as little as possible. If there's any air in the system it will float up to the piston and then the brakes will be mushy until the air bubble floats back up. I haven't had that issue with my Creo, but I...

Simple question - how do you clean your chain? How often do you clean your chain? The related question is why don't e-bikes freewheel the front cog backwards? This obviously makes cleaning the chain difficult, hence my original question. Thanks for your advice!

In my experience, the Garmin Edge 1000 turns off if you plug it into a *data* connection. If the connection is just charge, no data, it remains on. I plugged it into the Anker with the supplied USB cable and the Garmin remains on while it's charging.

If it's not recorded, it didn't happen! :)

Thanks! I just ordered this. I was out for 6 hours on the Fourth and the Garmin was reporting Lo Bat around 20 minutes prior to my destination. I made it. I'll keep this in my handlebar kit and snake a USB cable through the zipper when I need it. It would be cool if Specialized would include...

Oh, well. It's just a "nice to have". My Bulls E-Stream EVO has a mini USB port. I only used it once on a Century when the Garmin was showing Low Battery toward the end. (Oh, no! To come so far and then conk out at 98 miles... But the Aux USB got me to the finish. :) ) Thanks all, for your...

Yes, I know that's where a kickstand would mount, but I don't want the kickstand. It's too bulky and extra weight.

I'm loving my Creo Turbo. It checks all my boxes. Lightweight Extender Battery 28mph Built-in Power / Cadence / Speed Configurable (via App) There only one feature that I don't see and that would be the ability to plug in a USB cable to draw power from the battery to power a USB device, like...

I lost this thing today on a gnarly gravel trail :) . Is that this Rubber Cable Port Plug? https://www.specialized.com/us/en/rubber-cable-port-plug-flush-7mm/p/176813?color=287183-176813&searchText=S179900015 Or something else? If I can't get the plug, what sort of bolt do I need? I don't...

I just got my new Range Extender. It shows one level of power. Is there anything special to do on the initial charge? Should it be topped off? Should it not be topped off? Thanks for your advice!

From an engineering standpoint - why? If the unit was bulky and required an *expansion* of the stem size, that I'd get. But a *reduction* in diameter? Why is that necessary? The shim that I found in there doesn't bring the diameter up to 1 1/8. If there's another shim that's needed for that, it...

I see. Do you mind posting the link to the shim again? Trying to figure this out - 1 3/8 in??? Eleven eighths of an inch??? One and one eighth. Duh :-)

And what did you do with regard to the height of the clamp? 45mm vs 40mm. How did you deal with that?

The 30deg Ritchey has a 45mm stack as I am just finding out! :-\

So I ran into a bit of trouble with this. I got the Specialized stem off no problem. I loosened up the bolts and rotated the stem on the steerer counterclockwise. The friction against the cosmetic cap started turning that cap and it unscrewed very smoothly. No issues there. When I got the cap...

It says here that it "electronically locks the motor support for the bike". https://support.specialized.com/home/missioncontrol/en/turbo-system-lock-for-bikes-with-mastermind-displays My dealer told me explicitly that it can still be pedaled, but I don't see that documented online one way or...

Hi Stefan, I watched the video. I think he omitted one class of thru-axles - a thru-axle WITH a cam. I'm new to Specialized so I don't know if they're using this on any of their bikes, but this is what I have on my Bulls E-Stream Turbo, front axle. Those "wings" are spring loaded, they compress...

I see, thanks! Great video. Everything I need to know.

Yes, absolutely. So what is Specialized thinking. We all have torque sensors built into our thumbs? I'll have to pay more attention to that. Not what I expected. I've ridden QR for decades and it's always been the cam action which creates the clamp. This is different. Not sure why.
