    Thanks! I might go for one like that, made by Ritchey. I have good experience with Ritcheys.

    Specs for Handlebar Stem Replacement

    Thanks! I like Ritchey. I have a Ritchey 45deg on my "meBike" :) so I'd be inclined to go with them again for my new eBike. In general I'm a little hesitant regarding the adjustables. However, Ritchey has an adjustable and, given their reputation, I'd be a bit more inclined to trust them. Were...

    Can I charge three batteries (Creo main plus two extenders) simultaneously with two Y cables?

    Thanks for your kind offer. Unfortunately, I am way over on the other coast. I will send an inquiry in to Specialized. I'll let you know what they say. Do I understand you correctly - if the Y cable is being used it MUST be plugged into both batteries; It cannot be used if I only want to charge...

    Specs for Handlebar Stem Replacement

    I'd like to replace the handlebar stem on my Creo Turbo. I'd like to affect two aspects of the current fit. 1. I want to move the handlebars closer to the seat - less stretch to reach the handlebars. 2. I want to elevate the height of the handlebars so that my posture is slightly more upright...

    Can I charge three batteries (Creo main plus two extenders) simultaneously with two Y cables?

    Can I charge three batteries (Creo main plus two extenders) simultaneously with two Y cables? In other words, plug the input of the second Y cable into one of the outputs of the first Y cable, giving me three free plugs. Has anyone done this? Thanks!

    How many miles do you have on your e-bike with a Brose motor?

    So here's the final report on this. The main electrical cable from the battery to the motor was corroded. It took a few weeks to get the correct diagnosis and then the part, but the cable is now replaced and I'm back on the road! So no issues with the motor. 6,370 miles and going strong.

    Turbo Creo SL - Road Configuration vs. EVO

    Can you explain that? How do you adjust position for gravel? (Pardon my ignorance. I've never used a dropper post so I've never had a choice in the matter.) Thanks for your advice!

    Issues with the Turbo Creo SL (all variants)

    I'm curious why you say this? I've been riding an MTB on road (Bulls E-Stream EVO 2 hardtail, with slimmed down tires) for about 6K miles. It has two chainrings in the front and I NEVER use the smaller one. (OK, when my battery died once I needed the lower ring. But other than that - NEVER.) In...

    Turbo Creo SL - Road Configuration vs. EVO

    I'm considering the differences between the road configuration and the EVO for gravel. I've been e-Biking for four seasons now on a Mountain profile - Bulls E-Stream EVO 2 (hardtail). I slimmed down the wheels from 3" knobby to 2" relatively smooth, in consideration of the fact that I'm riding...

    Turbo Creo SL Comp Carbon - Century Riding

    It says here that the frame incorporates rack mounts. https://www.bespokecycling.com/blog/new-specialized-turbo-creo-sl-comp-evo Rack and mudguard mounts are built in, giving another hint as to Comp's "more than road" capabilities, as does the gravel-friendly "Open Road" geometry, similar to...

    Turbo Creo SL Comp Carbon - Century Riding

    Thanks! How much does the range extender cost and how much does it weigh? It sounds like I'd be comfortable for sure with two extenders. Does the bike have attachment points for a rack over the rear wheel?

    How many miles do you have on your e-bike with a Brose motor?

    Yeah, mine's a Bulls. I worked on the contacts (ROPD - https://www.rosenberger.com/en/products/automotive/ropd.php) all Sunday. I used vinegar, baking soda, lemon juice, and on Tuesday I sprayed battery terminal cleaner which I had ordered from Amazon. No luck. So I brought it by the dealer...

    How many miles do you have on your e-bike with a Brose motor?

    I have 6,000 miles over three seasons on a Brose motor. I don't think I've had any problems with the motor. Recently, I was experiencing some intermittent assist issues and now the bike won't turn on but dealer believes it's somewhere in the electrical system, not the motor. At this point I tend...

    Turbo Creo SL Comp Carbon - Century Riding

    I’m wondering how much battery I'll need to support the long century rides. I’ve been riding a BULLS E-Stream 2 for the past few years. The battery is a beast – 647 wh. The bike is a beast too – 50lb, plus when I do my longer rides I’m packing a spare battery so we’re starting off with 60lb and...

    Can we change the culture?

    So it's a year and a half later, just came across this old post of mine. Since then, I've mounted a GoPro 360 and I've delimited the motor. :-) I actually passed the same guy in the local state park (mountainous) this past summer, but he gave me no problem. If he had any comment he was too far...

    Power Meter Installation

    BULLS tire taped to rim?

    Those three inch tires are wicked hard to get off the rims! I've gone down to 2 inches which are a pleasure by comparison. With the plus sized tires I practically broke my thumbs trying to squeeze the bead away from the wheel. I know it's a no-no but I had to take a flat edge screwdriver to pry...

    Can we change the culture?

    What is it about eBiking that enrages some of the less rational, less mature cyclists? I've been eCycling for about a year now and this past Sunday I received my first negative reaction but boy was it a doozy. It's all well and good to talk about just passively cycling past and ignoring...
