    What's your plan for a flat tire 10 miles from home?

    Goatheads are the devils cash box. I have thrown away tires because of these and countless tubes. They wiggle and hide into the rubber and will lay dormant until the worst time possible. Then you end up patching, replacing, spend a Co2, only to find out all that movement pushed two new ones into...

    Creo - Al vs Comp Carbon

    You will need to source a seat collar for the carbon. I used another brand that was slightly bigger than spec, and it held. Also, in my rack install, the lower eyelets are too close to the thru axel lever, preventing rear wheel removal. So you will need to replace that part also if a rack on a...

    Trek Domane+ HP 7 vs Specialized Turbo Creo SL Carbon Comp

    I have seen my Creo lower its power output at around 15% battery. Not sure if there is a sort of governor on the motor at a low battery level. Only have a few hundred miles on the bike and have only run it this low twice. Anyone know this for sure?

    Specialized creo evo expert - rear rack?

    Well sorta. I understand your concern, especially with carbon. High $$ failure is nothing we want. That’s why I would rather bolt a rack into fittings made to take the weight, than clamp around carbon seatstays and seatpost. This style bag looks fine. Most of the weight will be on the seat...

    Specialized creo evo expert - rear rack?

    Nice. I have used racks on almost all my bikes since I ride a smaller frame, and learning that the Creo had eyelets was one of the reasons behind my purchase. I want to get the seatpost clamp with eyelets, but in the meantime, I am strapping bags to the handlebars to make do.

    Specialized creo evo expert - rear rack?

    I have noticed what looks like an electrical line near the rear dropout on the non-drive side of the chain stays. Does anyone know if this is wired for power to a rear light?
